hey guys it's how to make a swimming
bird and welcome to Mario Kart 8 the
brand new game for the Nintendo Wii U
the Mario Kart series is always fun and
I'm excited to play this one with you
guys so as mario would say let's go
we're going straight for 150 cc I may
get blue shelled immediately but that's
a risk I'm willing to take I want things
to be fast-paced and thrilling for you
guys after all we're going to start with
good old Mario for this first Cup but
what I want you guys to do is please
leave a comment letting me know which
character you think I should play as
next and the one with the most thumbs up
will be in the next video
we might even unlock a new character at
the end of this video but we have to win
first and if you're excited for Mario
Kart and enjoyed this video please leave
a like and maybe subscribe if you
haven't I definitely appreciate all of
your help ok Mario old buddy old pal
don't let me down so just like in Mario
Kart 7 you can change your vehicle your
tires your glider and make sure you
press + to see your stats and then you
can see how they change when you switch
different parts out every driver can use
every part but their weight class will
change their stats and how big of a
target you are and all that good stuff
I'm going to use the parafoil because it
boosts my acceleration a little and
knocks down my weight and we're going to
start with the mushroom Cup so let's get
going so this is the first Mario Kart
game in beautiful HD and they've added
some awesome features including the new
ATV 9 new characters two of which have
never been in any mario game before four
new items and the brand new anti-gravity
mechanic which looks amazing as you
follow the track around and upside down
in total there are 30 playable
characters 14 of which are unlocked as
you win cups in offline Grand Prix which
is what I'm playing right now and there
are 21 items in total and 32 tracks 16
are new to this game and 16 are lovingly
remade from old Mario Kart tracks from
the previous games we're about to go
into our first anti-gravity area here
shoot that shell backwards so what
we do this our tires flip sideways and
we cling to the track even if we go
upside down and also you want to try to
hit other players when you're in
anti-gravity because both of you will
get a little bit of a boost and this if
I can get into Bowser here there we go
you got a nice boost there and then I
got some red sparks whoa almost missed
the item let's do some hang gliding grab
some coins we got it grab as many coins
as we can it's very essential to speed
up and to unlock the parts and things in
the game I'm going to use this potted
crayon a plant this is one of the new
items in the game and it will actually
latch on to other players other items
and snap at them and every time it snaps
it boosts you pour it a little bit so
you want to try to eat as much stuff as
you can while you have it we're at our
max 10 coins here but you still want to
collect as many as you can because like
I said it will unlock the carts and
parts and different things in the game
it's random which ones you will unlock
as you get them just like the drivers
every time you you win a cup you will
unlock a random driver as well so you
don't have to worry about beating
certain cups or certain speeds to get
them just play whatever you want and you
can get it this is another new item here
I'm going to save this one actually this
is the super horn and I didn't use it in
time oh no it is actually one of the
only things that can repel the spiky
blue shell of death I think it is the
only thing so I can kill it while Luigi
there we go
got him grab another item one big change
to Mario Kart that you incredibly would
notice if you we saw there I quickly
used my item before I got another one
that's because you can't actually hold
on to an item and have it trail behind
you you have to use an item before you
can get another one
got a nice boost there from waluigi or a
red shell atom there we go
hopefully wow there's a cool like news
helicopter watching us awesome this
place is really hot cool you can see the
beautiful HD graphics very good and
fitting for this game it makes it look
amazing this is another new item we're
getting all of them here this is the
boomerang and I missed oh no uh-uh
it's the boomerang flower you can throw
that to grab different stuff off the
track and also to hit players it will
come backwards as well so you get
another track chance to hit them I'm
going to keep going here even though we
didn't get first I could still pull out
a victory so I mentioned there's a bunch
of stuff that unlock there are 14 karts
9 bikes three ATVs
eighteen tire types and eleven gliders
in the game and outside of the Grand
Prix cups you can also play time trials
you have local and online versus or
battle modes and then of course as
you've seen bikes and gliders returned
from Mario Kart 7 and underwater areas
are also back as well we will see one in
this level here so we're going to try to
get this item really quick there we go I
always hate when you're in a big pack of
guys because they they tend to steal the
items from you and then it's frustrating
more anti-gravity here we go as we go
down into the water
aha we got a little propeller popping
out the Mario Kart karts are so advanced
they just you know have all this stuff
ready to go as soon as you go underwater
it knows to pop out the propeller and
stuff we do want to hit these little
spinny things in the center you see that
here they'll actually give you a boost
as I just did there alright we're
getting some coins go and go and go and
I like that the coins returned from the
Super Mario Kart they came back in Mario
Kart 7 but it's a cool way to unlock new
parts and sent advises you to collect
them even if you don't need them for
speed there we go grab those see you
waluigi I blocked it oh oh geez I can't
believe I made it through those green
shells that was very close all right
a fireball no who did that oh I've got a
red shell it's Wendy
hello she's one of the new characters
one thing that's kind of cool about this
game is even if you haven't unlocked a
character they can show up in the Grand
Prix mode says he saw there was one of
the Koopalings there oh look out browser
got hit by that blue shell I did a hard
turn to try to avoid it and it ran into
a wall there here we go
hit as many people as they can while
we're doing this as long as they don't
have a shell or something uh okay I'm
gonna try use my fire flower hit some
people go fire flower Mario signature
kill everyone get those banana peels off
the track all right doing good trying to
collect stuff still a little behind here
obviously 150 CC is pretty tough to
start out in especially when I don't
have any parts unlocked here yet well
look out ferris wheel it's crazy
okay there we go you know boost past
yeah please items come back go for that
star I like the little detector system
they got oh we ran into a wall we really
need to like hang back enough to get a
really good item and then just boost
into the front at the end that's
it seems like the best strategy a lot of
the time in Mario Kart games Oh get all
these coins yes thank you thank you
thank you no no no no Mario loves coins
he eats them all the time he has so many
coins like what does he do with them if
he's not eating them or doing something
weird with them then you think he would
just like not have room for all of them
in his pocket but of course is a magical
fantasy world all right well every time
you go off a ramp I forgot to mention
this is something that was in the Wii
game you want to try to jump because you
get a little boost there like I just did
look out oh no
peach yeah there we go and we stole the
victory at the last second we're going
to check out the replay of that one
because that is awesome look how Mario's
mustache billows majestically in the
wind very nice little details here aha
we are now in first and there is a
highlight reel feature which is really
cool here so you can watch it will
actually show you highlights like when
you hit people when you pass somebody so
it won't show you the whole race but
it's going to show like when I hit the
baby Daisy with a fireball when Bowser
got hit there no that's when I got hit
as well but then I got Bowser again he
looks ridiculous on that little bike
being kind of speed it up or you would
slow back or you can wait to like a
really cool moment and do some slow-mo
this is the part where I hit peach with
the shell so we should do slow-mo right
as I do it here we go it's going to be
intense
I hit peach blam sorry princess I love
you but you're dead and I won all right
see that's how the little repay plays
work and you can upload them to me verse
but you can also put them on YouTube
automatically if you have your account
linked to it
so anyways there's a lot of stuff in
this game as I went over that's a ton of
things to cover we're going to try to
see it all once we make it through the
cups I'm gonna do some online play and
maybe I'll get my girlfriend Danielle to
hop in the driver seat as well please
let me know what you want to see most
and I'll try to do it aha we're in the
front of the pack we got to be careful
look at all these little Yoshi's hanging
out on the side and gingerbread people
that's awesome
whoa we are on sweet sweet Mountain I
like that the the crowd is actually
pretty lively and a lot of the game
sometimes they'll be like sprites or
they won't have as much animation to it
you can tell they put a lot of work into
how this
is designed whoa I hope that like was
that like volcano lava coming out of
this crazy Fire Mountain Oh Bowser is
hitting all the little sugar treats I
don't know what those are all right I'm
gonna follow him he seems like he knows
where he's going I've never done these
tracks before so he's gonna be tough
well we got to be very careful there's
not guardrails around this whole thing
we don't want to fly off and fall down
to our death on sweets oh that would be
so embarrassing to die on sweet sweet
mouth we went to the chocolate
careful there
ooh I think I stole a mushroom from her
maybe that's what I got she just
happened that mushrooms as well
here we go hit that jump and get the
boost you got to remember to jump every
time you go over a little jump like that
there we go all right I like all the new
characters so far I'm a little
disappointed oh we got that new the new
fire fire boomerang flower there for a
second
there we go it came back to me we had to
wait till we landed for me to get it
again I can actually throw it backwards
I believe wow we got hit by lightning
look out there we go get something new I
was gonna say I'm a little disappointed
that Diddy Kong is not in this game but
Nintendo has already announced some DLC
so I think they might have like a kong
pack later on or something we'll
probably get like Diddy Dixie cranky
maybe funky he was in the the weed one
look out do not fall off ah I couldn't
grab my greenshell fast enough I should
trail it behind me there we go
what I have to get rid of it if I want a
new item of course there we go I gotta
remember not to uh to try to keep my
items there we go go through the
mushroom I mean the donut there we go
Oh Mario oh no lock it - there we go oh
man that was the worst time to land
lakitu is actually a new player as well
he finally gets to race he's probably
like so fed up with just having to get
people off that like he's constantly
hauling cars back on the track is
probably damn stupid people always run
off the check and he finally gets to
race now which is awesome Oh No please
bullet bill there we go okay it's not
huge the bullet builds a nice item but
not as big as in some of the games like
I think Double Dash had a well or no is
Mario Kart 7 I think did the
it bill and it was like a huge one and I
think the wee one had it as well start
to remember what power-ups were in what
I got to be careful I don't do this
right no one good thing is you actually
keep your your little power-ups when you
you fall off and you die or if you fall
off the tracking keep your power-ups
which is good
I'm not going to catch up in time we're
really gonna have to work if we want to
get first on the next one yeah and
actually keep her good standing no we're
gonna fall way back here
cross your fingers guides I have to do
really good on the last race if we're
gonna catch back up
oh we're actually still in first we're
tied with while Luigi and Peach
alright let's head on to the next race I
mentioned the the DLC they already
announced for Japan there's going to be
a downloadable Mercedes car and it's a
little deal with Mercedes I guess but
it's free it's just kind of weird to see
it in a Mario game and there was a
little commercial with Mario like a
real-life Mario and he's super creepy in
that commercial it's really weird
anyways let's get to racing I need to
really focus if I'm going to win here
and try to pull out a victory because
we're tied we have to get ahead of while
Luigi and Peach maybe some of these
other people oh yeah the ancient swamp
ruins oh there we go I might keep this
on my butt for a little while even
though there's lots of people I can
shoot with it just to make sure I don't
get hit
oh look we can go on the walls with the
antigravity in this one hit these
boosters there we go oh oh
luckily the the Koopa Troopa hit my
thing off of me or else I might have
accidentally missed getting a new item
there we go
look out okay hopefully that bee bomb
hits somebody I'm not really sure if it
did the star person coming up get these
coins peach lay off the coins I need
them
I'm the hero Beach let me have the coins
I've saved you so many times
Nick Mario would like bribe certain
characters it's like how many times have
I saved you and they won't hit him in
races and stuff oh if we land it a
little quicker there probably could have
gotten that no blooper Adam I've way I
don't know the track well enough blooper
he's blocking my vision the blooper is
so annoying it's a pretty good idea for
a powerup though but it's like it's not
actually hurting you it just limits your
vision so it's a little weird here we go
I like riding on the walls it's cool
here we go look out Oh No at least I
didn't get squished gonna go through
here without getting hurt there we go
look out oh we're making it all the way
through I love how many different paths
there are in these newer Mario Kart
games there's like so many shortcuts so
many hidden things to find there we go
it's all about learning the tracks
though and trying to figure out the best
path to go once you get the shortcuts
it's like you can't really compete
online unless you know the shortcut so
you gotta like try as hard as you can to
find them all as you're playing
single-player one thing that's a little
annoying is that you can't actually
unlock characters when you play online
you have to play offline to get them as
I mentioned earlier so make sure you
remember that if you're trying to unlock
all the characters before you start
playing online but there is a two player
online co-op you can do which is pretty
cool you can do like a whole Grand Prix
with another player locally and you guys
can both play online that way so that's
pretty cool let's keep this banana
behind me until we need something else
go Mario go I have no idea how far we
are the gamepad actually shows your math
and different stuff you can make it big
on your your gamepad to see where
everybody else is it says the positions
it also has like a big old horn button
if I wanted to honk there we go yeah oh
no no no no please I hope no one's
really close behind me go go Mario go
yes I think we did it guys I think we
won and we're gonna unlock a new
character hopefully yep we beat Bowser
by 4 points he came from behind he
wasn't even in first before all right
let's go to the closing ceremony thank
you guys for watching let's view the
results please leave a like if you
enjoyed this and we're going to see
hopefully we did unlock a character
because I
when we might not have gotten a gold
star which is essential for unlocking a
secret cart in the game there's a little
hint for you but we'll have to see what
we got like I said it's random so we
have no idea what we're going to unlock
oh haha we have one the mushroom Cup the
easiest Cup in the game I'm sure it's
going to get a lot tougher from here on
out
remember let me know what character you
want me to see let's see if we can see
which one we unlocked here and then you
guys will know if you want to comment
with that character's name and do a
thumbs up on any character you want to
see and the top one of course I will be
in the next one we unlocked a flower the
flower Cup and a new character we also
got new vehicle customization we got a
new stamp we don't want to post that
right now I want to see what this new
character is we got that brilliant gold
mushroom Cup let's go check out the new
character real quick who is it who could
it be

watching I'll see you next time for the
flower Cup goodbye
