Can I just say... I like how deliberate Charles is in breaking down and explaining some of the processes like 3D printing, light sensor, crimping, etc. I can totally see all the effort going into deciding how much is too much info, so that the audience doesn't get too bored, yet maintaining a level of educational sense. Great job!

[michaeldowning]

might be fun to make a infrared 'gun' on the front with sensors on the rear of the cart were you can 'fire' red and blue shells at each other causing a drop of power for a second or two.

[kwmcgreal]

this looks so fun! I can't wait to see a Grand Prix video!

[MrGoesBoom]

Excellent use of materials you already lying around for a fun build. Also, nostalgic to see the old garage. Changes there look nice.

James: I absorbed the impact better with my shoes, oh, but don't worry, I just broke both of my legs and almost died.

[masonjenks]

This is the most enjoyable project I’ve ever seen. I’m guessing you’re making more and putting it in the hacksmith store.

Charles: mario kart isnt just about speed

Everyone when playing Mario kart: holds down accelerate entire match

[TRYPH]

As a huge Nintendo fan this is definitely one of my favorite videos you guys uploaded. The ideas and use of materials are amazing. 😄

[JoeVeH]

I love Charles's energy with a little time I feel as though he would be perfect at having more project with greater detail!

[nickmurphy]

Imagine this as a standalone, legally distinct, go-kart track run by Hacksmith Industries.

If there is one thing Hacksmith can do, *it’s taking “make it real real” to a godlike level*

[francoagustinwolpers]

I was thinking, you could get some infrared sensors in front and in the back of every kart, that way you can make a Shell power up, if you have another kart in front of you and you used a shell power up it will slow down the kart in front of you.
Also a banana peel power up, it does the same but to the kart behind of you

[cheese]

For other power ups you could connect all the karts via bluetooth or wifi. A red shell would briefly shutoff the motor of the kart in front of you, a banana could slow done the person and a blue shell would briefly shut off the person in first.

Using the color sensor you could use a counter for laps or checkpoints so the karts no who is in what position. This might be complicated solution but I'm sure what ever you would be super intuitive.

16:39 I bet James didn’t feel very invincible with that star just then

[RockinRedneck]

Easily one of my favorite vids y'all have done in a while! Charles, you're doing great at leading these videos! Keep it up man! Love it!

[joshbritton]

Absolutely LOVED this build! Brought me back to my childhood

[Axiomatic]

Years ago I had the idea to combine carts with augmented reality so you would actually see the crates and shells.

[qwertylockjaw]

Idea: use droppable color panels as disposable ‘items’ like bananas that initiate a temporary stop or slowdown when driven over.
