All right, I am not excited for this at all. I'm
gonna disconnect so many times today, but I'm just gonna try and keep moving around so I don't. And
even once I get going, I'm not excited for that. Like, I'm waiting 25 seconds; this is an insane
amount of time to wait. Uh, and I'm like near the 12,000 range, which is... there are some really
good players. I don't expect, like, you know, back when I waited 10 seconds against
5,000 players, that was pretty easy, but this is gonna be super duper tough. Okay,
that was 25 seconds. That felt like an absolute eternity. That was way more than half of the lap,
and this is gonna be actually impossible. Like, I do not expect to win a single race today,
not even one. I just don't think it's gonna be possible. Oh, I messed that up. Okay,
it's okay. We had the bullet to save me, and, uh, I'm gonna need so many bullets. I'm
gonna need so many shocks today. All right, let's do this. I'm gonna need a really good
item right here. The bump messed me up. [Music] No goofing around today. Better items, please.
Did you— use this. Get away from the bullet. Okay, this is really bad I can't chain items
again. I still haven't gotten that item set even once. Please, shock dodge. Someone just
help me out here. I am so far behind still. Why is everyone else also so far behind? Like,
it says I'm in 10th place, but this is basically still last place. No, it's okay. Right before the
item box, I can do this. I'm getting big quick. Okay, just use that, take this mushroom,
go this way. Come on, double. Yes! Use this, I'm only gonna get a single
item box here, which is not ideal. [Music] What? I got third! I got a third!
[laughs] Everyone died at the end. Okay, wait a minute. Maybe this is possible. All right,
Toad Harbor is nice because I can replenish all of my coins right here at the start. I just follow
this train and get all the way up to 10 coins. And it has only been 19 seconds. 20, 21, 22. Look
at that. People are getting so far away. Luckily, this is kind of a long track. All right, so
here's the strategy. I'm gonna go all the way around and get two items like this, which
is faster than waiting at a single item box. And this is really bad because this entire
item set right here I'm gonna miss, but at least I don't have to make a decision between
a double item box and, uh, taking the shortcut. So hopefully the bullet drops me off before the
next double item. Oh, why are you going so wide, bullet? Oh, that's not very good. I was gonna
slow down there for the item. Bullet, use it. No item strategy. Just use it. Get this out of
here. Get me on to the next item. All right, the star. We're gonna go around and do the strat
again, just gonna approach it from this side. Okay, it was almost too fast to make it,
so that was nice. I got another bullet. Look at this. It's almost the end of lap two, and
I still haven't really caught up. Like, I'm still in last place by a lot, and it's deceiving because
11th and 12th are behind ninth by a lot as well. Come on, I'm just gonna use this. [Music] Okay, I'm gonna do this one more time. Bullet, okay. I feel like I get a bullet
there every single time, so I don't get to take the shortcut, unfortunately, but I do get
to bullet and—Oh, there's a blue shell. Okay, that means I still have a very, very small
hope of winning this race, which is probably impossible at this point, given how far behind
I still am, but I need that hope. No, yes! Okay, this is hopeless. [Music] That sucks. I'm gonna be losing so many points
today. At this point, I am gonna start picking my combo based on what track I think we're
gonna get and what works well for it. So it's gonna look silly, but I need good combos for the
tracks, and we're probably gonna get anti-gravity, so I'm just beefing up my anti-gravity
speed. Great, I didn't prepare for that one. Good, that track is impossible anyway. All right,
I admit defeat already on this track. Like, there is just absolutely no way. This is one of the
shortest tracks in the entire game, and 25 seconds is like an entire lap. This entire lap one is
probably somewhere along the lines of 25 seconds, or at least I know lap two is definitely around
that length on 150cc, yes. So this is, uh, this is the worst. Drop me. No, really wanted an item.
Okay, gonna have to get my coins up here, and I wasn't even looking. I did not expect
there to be a banana. What the heck? Okay, at least there's an item box here. I've
never gone that path. I swear I always take the shortcut, so I've never had—Oh, shock
dodge! Okay, but a lot of people dodged. And mushrooms, these are not the
items I want at a boost panel section. Come on, come on grab this
boost panel, grab that one. All right, everyone's rounding the last
corner, and these are my items. No [Music] come on! I can't even get the
last item set. [laughs] Oh, wow. Wow, that was impossible—that
was literally impossible. All right, Yoshi's Island. I just made a guide
on this one recently. I am quite the pro at this track, but it's not too much of a comeback track.
There are a few shortcuts, they're not gigantic. Just try not to disconnect. And there go my coins. Honestly, I—I don't even know why I commentate
this section. I usually just disconnect, and this is probably not going to make it into the final
video anyway because I just cut this part out, but it's the only way I can keep my sanity by talking
to myself. Wow, I did not get disconnected. That's great. You'll love to see it. All right, so I'm so
far behind, of course, as usual. Nothing new here. I'm just gonna hope for some good items here on
the second set. Come on, bullet. Uh, just use it. If only it would take the shortcut. I wish
the bullet knew how to take every shortcut and would just take it on its own without me
having to enter the shortcut first. But this is really good. This item box is located
just far enough away... Oh, can I make it here? I need to make it on. Yes! Well, it didn't
really matter to me. I had a golden mushroom. I could have just went on the ground. Get rid
of this before—Yes, okay. Okay, okay. The item chaining is going really well here, and that's
my only shot of even catching up to 11th place. Come on. Yes! Wow, the bullet
dropped me off at the perfect time. Okay, okay, nice, nice, and we can chain
a star here too, so this is really good. Just make sure I grab the item.
Okay, good. They didn't get it, and the shortcut's open again. [Music]
Just gonna use the star right away. And now I have to start being strategic. I
need a blue shell. Someone needs to throw a blue shell because whoever's in—Ah, no!
Whoever's in first is way too far ahead. Double item, yes. Yes! Good items.
Blue shell. Okay, okay. We're doing this. We're in fourth with a mushroom and
a star. Yes! I got the double item box. Someone get the cloud. Get the cloud. Okay,
okay, I'm in first. I'm in first. What the heck? Come on, come on, come on. Oh [laughs]
yes! Yes! That only took four races. What? These are some good players. I can't believe it's
possible to win after doing that. Oh, wow, Mario Kart sucks. All right, we're gonna do some victory
laps here on Sky High Sundae. I have absolutely no hope for this track, obviously, it is Sky High
Sundae. There are no shortcuts, there's nothing you can do. All you can do is hope for good items.
Complete luck if I make this comeback or not. Uh, and by that I mean I won't make this comeback.
Look, they're almost on lap two and I have nothing I can do. I need—Oh, okay. I'll wait
a little bit. I'll wait for that blue shell to finish hitting just so I don't help out first
place too much, and then we'll just chain these. Bullet right away. Okay, um, yeah, last time
that I waited 20 seconds, I actually got, I think it was five bullets on this track,
and I still couldn't make the comeback. So I'm waiting 25 seconds today, and that is
one bullet so far. Use this right away so I get the item before I get this box here.
See if 11th place has defense. [laughs] Oh, this sucks. I was not gonna be able to finish
that golden before the next item set anyway, so I'm only getting a single
item here. That's not good. Oh, no, I used up all the
items by accident. [Music] Okay, that's what I get for not paying
attention, but I'm not that far behind. Look, I'm in 11th. I'm in 11th. Okay, item, please.
No, I couldn't get them, but I have the shock. Someone's in a bullet. Gonna wait for him to get
out. I'm gonna chain this rock probably. [Music] Okay, I'm gonna chain it.
Only one person dodged it, and they were behind me, so
this is really good. [Music] No, my mushroom! Okay, well, I mean, it really
didn't matter. I cannot believe I got third. What? You can get third on one of the worst comeback
tracks in the game, even though you wait 25 seconds? Okay, everyone's very far away. The only
good thing about this is that it is a long track, and I can get a double item right here.
Perfect, I almost missed it. Bullet, use it right away. I got a single mushroom.
I didn't even know that was possible. Okay, so the bullet unfortunately does not take the
shortcut, that would have been really nice. Uh, I need this double item box here, so we're
gonna go... Oh, single item and a single item, that works. Oh, blue shell and shock. Okay,
I'm gonna save this shock, chain it because I want the blue shell to hit first
place. Oh, I might not get enough time. Okay, they're gonna be in iframes for
this, this sucks. I had to do that, so I kind of just dodged first place with
my own. Like, I threw a blue shell and then dodged first place from my blue shell. I forgot
to go for the shortcut. I was so busy trying to figure out the words of what to say right
there. Okay, I mean, this item is not good, but at least it's better than just a
star. I have a mushroom out of it as well. Wow, I'm back in it. What the heck? I hit 11th
place with my item. Oh use this, use this. Okay, okay, we're back in this,
we're back in this. I have a bullet. Okay, now I have to play strategically,
because I'm not just trying to catch up anymore. I'm trying to make the
right plays here to win. [Music] Okay, I think I'm gonna use
this right after I land. Just use it right in here. All right, all
right, let's make a push for the finish, and I'm gonna use this boo right
away, so I'm gonna be invincible. Cool, cool. Yes, I got it! What the heck? [Music] Oh my God. Nooo! [laughs] Okay, I wasn't getting
first place regardless, but I can't believe it. I'm actually just straight up doing well by
waiting 25 seconds. Like, if I played seriously, I may not even be getting better results.
I can't believe they picked Yoshi's Island again. Don't they know this is my stomping
ground? I just made a shortcut video on this. No, my Yoshi's Island winning streak
ends at one. Oh, Waluigi Stadium. I've never lost on that track. Oh no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. If there's ever a time to respectfully back
out of Waluigi Stadium, I think this is the time. Oh, we got Yoshi's Island again.
This is my chance. [Music] Um, Nintendo, why won't you let me cook? Wow,
the one time I don't get disconnected, it's on Mirror Mode Bangkok Rush. Like, what is this? I
haven't played this, like, ever. I don't even know the layout of Bangkok Rush, and we're on Mirror
Mode? Okay, anyway, I'm gonna try my best here. I don't even know where to go. I
have no time to look at the mini-map. I mean, not that that really matters unless they
have the shock. It's just, I kind of want to know relatively where my position is. Okay, this is
really rough. I don't get to chain an item here. Take that little shortcut in there. Okay, and
we're gonna have to make sure to remember where the double box is on the glider. So we're gonna
use a star here and take this little shortcut. I think you go outside. Yep, I missed it. I missed
the items entirely. Are you kidding me? And wait, that means I can't take that little off-road
shortcut either, so I'm going around. Okay, this is a disaster so far. Wait, we're
on lap three? I haven't caught up at all. Oh no. [Music] Go up the stairs. No, I'm
not gonna make it. At least I got an item. Okay, this is really good. Helps me through
the end section without hitting anybody. Wow, fifth place. I swear this game is just trying to
confuse me at this point. Like, we got Mirror Mode Bangkok Rush, and so that just makes me think that
all the Mirror Mode lines are the correct ones. And, uh, then we just get regular Bangkok Rush
right afterwards. I'm like, okay, I don't know the layout again. Okay, so this time I need to
remember that the items are all the way over here. It's one benefit of having just played this
track. Oh, I'm kind of getting back in it. Well, I'm only catching up to the people in last. I
don't know how far the people in the front are. I had to use that because I was gonna hit
the crab, and in order to dodge the crab, it took a terrible, very dangerous line. Oh no, I
tried to dodge that. As soon as I saw it, I tried to dodge it but it wasn't enough time. [Music] Let's just use all of them, I have to do this. But I'm not gonna be able to go up the stairs for
the double box, so I'm getting a single box here. Please be good. Hit the other Luigi. Please. No.
Another shock? That's so funny. Fifth place again. This is not funny. I wish I got disconnected
because what the heck? Like, that was a full lap. Everyone just drove a full lap. I'm getting
lapped. This is impossible. And I couldn't even go back for coins because the game just decided that
if you try to do that, Lakitu will pick you up. So I'm on a completely different lap than everybody
else. Look at that, we're taking different paths. Oh, go wide for coins? Nope, the bullet can't
do that. Okay, well, they're about to finish this lap as well. Like, are you kidding
me? They're about to be on lap two. Three? Game, I need better items than this. Blue shell? Really? Right now? Okay, okay.
Please let me catch up. I need more bullets. My goal is to not get last, and I think
that is actually impossible. I think there's nothing that could happen to anyone
that causes them to lose to me right now. Shock, come on, before everyone
finishes the race. Come on, come on. Okay, got the shock. Oh, there's a banana.
It literally didn't matter, everyone dodged the shock in a star. What? That was actually
impossible. This challenge is impossible. I've lost 200 points. You know what? I already won
a race. Let's just wait 30 seconds next time.
