Shortcat Teaches the HARDEST Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Shortcuts

it has been 3 months since I played Mario Kart 8 Deluxe but today that changes because I am back thanks to shortcat Mario Kart 8 Deluxe professional today we are going to be learning the hardest Advanced world record strats to make sure that I win the race to 30,000 VR these are not going to be your average shortcuts I'm going to be learning about techniques I never even knew existed because this Tech is literally invisible so buckle up grab your popcorn and get ready for a video we will never forget and also check out short cat's newest video where I teach how to do the most important Mario Kart Wii shortcuts Link in description subscribe to both of us and without further Ado it's shortcut time I mean shortcut time so the shortcut I'm showing you here is the DK mountain rock shortcut you want to get a purple mini turbo along the coins stay to the right left trick get a mini turbo off this one and do a late trick off the last ramp then you drift off the final Rock So this I would give a difficulty of four out of five it's quite difficult but once you nail it it can definitely be super consistent can I release my blue main turbo after I trick like like after I already gone went off the second trick ramp or do I release the blue Ming turbo before yeah so you can actually after you go off the ramp you have a little bit of time where it still lets you trick with your blue mini turbo so it gives you a bit more leniency on when you can do the trick if you couldn't quite charge up the mini turbo you have slightly more time to still get it okay here we go first attempt we are going to get this first try of course because shortcat tutorial was Perfection yes yep yes you drifted a little too tight on that one so the idea here is we get the left trick and that makes it so that your Drift actually goes wider but then you have to make sure you're doing a soft drifting input otherwise you will turn too tight like you just saw oh okay I got it yeah I'm going to try the soft drift this time that's definitely went went wrong let's see try to soft drift this off The Far Side soft drift here oh you made it let's go yes and I got the pur wow you landed with a purple mini turbo I have not seen that one troy has mastered this shortcut yes oh look at that oh new Strat teach you that and I got the ending shortcut this is world record Pace all right I got the hardest one out of the way the rest of them are going to be easy of course first try the rest of them right yes on Sunset Wilds we have a short cut right after these boost panels and it's a bit tricky MH but if you get it if you get the drift going you can easily hop out of the end like this with an orange mini turbo and I'm going to give this one a difficulty of two out of five there's one tricky thing you have to know or you won't get this one right you cannot drift in the slippery material whatever ever that is you have to start your drift on the third boost panel and if you start your drift there it is actually quite an easy shortcut to get wa really okay I think I need to see you do this one again to be [Music] honest why is that the case that's so strange okay I I think I get this one though I I understand how to do it I skip the second one I go off the first one and then I jump onto the third one right mhm you jump onto the third is the most important part uh you want to hold hold left a little bit and then soft drift it okay cool I'm going to give it my first try here here we [Music] go perfect is that good yeah yeah see how you have plenty of time to charge that mini turbo as long as you didn't lose your drift in the in the mud okay awesome yeah no that one I don't think I've done in a video before so I definitely got to start implementing that combo it with the little real ride we'll be in it to win it boom on Madrid Drive there is a little work you can take saves a lot of time and it looks like this there we go and you come out with a lot of speed you can get a drift and a mini turbo I'll give this one a difficulty three out of five it looks pretty simple but the mechanics are a little bit tricky all right that looks like a mushroom was used to be honest even though it wasn't that was ridiculous let's give it a try so really oh that was pretty close really lose speed that was a really close attempt CL okay so I just have to release the main turbo early and and then hop like right as I hit the grass right yeah the most important thing here is how early your mini turbo releases because if you are in the grass with the mini turbo boost active you will lose all of your speed okay I'm going to give it a second [Music] [Applause] try yes got it perfect nice all right second time for this game let's go all right I'm feeling on top of the world and you you know we're let's just keep doing the easy ones let's save the the hardest ones for the end you know boost my ego a little bit it's going to be a long ending then oh no all right so this shortcut on DS Mario circuit it's the biggest grass shortcut where the world record uses their mushroom and does you can cut it really tight like this wa and that saves a lot more time compared to the regular shortcut you may take which cuts off a lot less grass but obviously is much easier to do so if you attempt this shortcut uh the most common error you're going to make even if you make it correctly between these two is you're going to hit this and you'll notice the difference between my two alignments is one I went straight between the Rock and the tree and the other one I Tred to start more left and curve more to the right so the idea is you don't just make it between the Rock and the tree like this the angle that you want to go into it is a little bit more like this way that way you can avoid the bush coming up next oh okay okay got it so you're going to be closer to the tree than the rock mhm yeah I'm going to go for it okay okay yeah let's see here we go here goes nothing is that good wow that's good that was perfect first try how' you do thaty that's one of the toughest you know what you know what's funny about that is this is the one out of all of them so far I was definitely most nervous about I felt like this was going to take the longest but I watched you do it so many times that I really like downloaded that one I I need you to do it again prove to me that wasn't a f i want to see this no I I think that was the key is that like you were going so close to the the tree or whatever you're not really going near the rock it's a lot different than what I envisioned okay so it's right here and use it like this okay that was that was definitely like more what you expected yeah there there is a bit of detail with how you want to release your mini turbo at the end to make sure you don't fly out too much but yeah you just release your mini turbo as soon as you're out of the Offroad even if you still have a mushroom Bo oh that was good perfect let's go yeah sometimes you'll hit the tree but you don't lose time it's it's really great beautiful okay well we're moving on to the next one wow really impressing me Troy you've never done this before I've never done this one before so the most important part of squeaky clean Sprints is this entire beginning section if you don't drive this part properly you can lose multiple seconds compared to a good player so here we have a lot of trickable surfaces but I'm actually just drifting off of all of it to make sure I get really good mini turos cuz that's a lot faster and then we have a little optional shortcut there if you would like but we don't have to learn that one not too important and uh of course we have a little wall Bon shortcut yep one of my favorite tracks in this game oh my gosh this one looks really tough are you holding right when you go Airborne initially before you hit the water well yes in the air you're going to hold right the whole time because in this game you can charge your mini turbo in the air and so holding right is going to charge it faster than any other direction so I get the orange the main Turbo get the main turbo hold okay nice nice hold and then Rel yeah release in here perfect go and then Bonk kind of that was pretty good you it you kind of it and then and then now we got to do the wob Bonk so then right here this oh I missed the won oh missed the wall oh okay that was a really really good first attempt Prett yeah definitely exceeded my expectations we're just going to keep rolling and go into it lap two here one of the funny things about this track I always found was just you enter the sink and you don't trick like you purposly like nose dive and then you hit the bottom and trick I always thought that was really cool okay here we go yeah something about tricking into water is actually slower yeah so odd okay yeah oh didn't quite get the drift yeah so the most important thing no matter how you land on that sponge is to make sure a drift comes out because no matter how that drift comes out you can fix your alignment towards the drain afterwards I have never gotten a drift but I got one on the first attempt so I do have hope here okay let's go for yeah he did really good I almost got the whole thing let's see here we go that's very good alignment yes very nice okay don't don't don't dip too much you want to make sure you're not on the ground okay and then that yep yep yep so Troy you're getting it mostly right uh there's one thing that'll make it a bit easier here is after the orange mini turbo you want to make sure you hop to a line straight and then hop off like that oh and then if you if you think uh your mini Turbo's charged you can actually just land in a drift on the sponge this definitely is one of the best like underwater ones like they really found a way to just have a lot of cool Tech that we're not really used to seeing on other tracks 100% agree this is one of my favorite tracks and I never thought I would like water physics in this game but with squeaky clean Sprint and pirano plant Cove which we'll look at later they have such Cool Water Tech I love yes got it perfect yes wow I did it oh so good I know and I just literally always wrote this track off it's just like I don't really care for this one people do some crazy Shenanigans it makes no sense little cheaters but nope that is not the case now I get how it's done thank you yeah this is one of those tracks where the more you learn it the more fun it becomes I love this track oh that was so satisfying and that probably saves a ridiculous amount of time like over half a second at least compared to how I would do it before without using the sponges I have a comparison on my channel because I tried using a terrible combo to do this track and I just couldn't I tried just tricking like doing the most basic thing you could think of and yeah it was I think it was over 1 second or multiple seconds the beginning shortcut on Peach Gardens is very important if you're front running because you can take this without a mushroom so it's actually quite easy you release a mini turbo early and hop through and land in a drift at the end to instantly get all of your speed back can you do it on lap three you can also do this one on yes it's exactly the same thing just in the opposite direction but just be warned people will be coming through you with stars and it is not fun yeah okay so you can do it a zero coins I'm going to go for it yeah release it early hop hop hop hop hop hop drift just like that right easy nice yeah and that's quite a bit faster isn't it yeah yeah it's a lot faster than going around and the most important thing that a lot of people get wrong in this one is your mini turbo must be completely done by the time you enter the off Offroad if you have any bit of mini turbo you will lose all of your speed so this shortcut is easy but it is very punishing if you mess it up and then you just got to get the timing down with spamming hop so when you land from your last hop you're not just trudging through the offroad got this one down this one's going to be very useful and I've seen you do this one in videos so uh now we're going to be evenly matched on the Nintendo s it'll be quite the battle when we to play Peach Gardens next time oh yeah and one of us is going to be hopping through the off-road lap 3 and the other one's going to be star bashing an interesting thing about this one is the less time your mini turbo has been gone for the faster you'll move through the offroad which is like so you want to get a really precise timing but it's tough cuz if you have any mini turbo left you'll actually just lose all your speed so you want it just to be like the frame before your mini turbo ends yeah the frame after tur ends yeah and then and then right when your mini turbo ends and and then see I did like four hops there cuz I did it perfectly so good but I would never risk doing it that way online because if if you have the mini turbo out you just lose all your speed so there's a really cool thing you can do at the end of Mario Kart Stadium on the glider and you have to hold a purple mini turbo super long keep charging it Bonk into the wall and then hold down and just try to stay in the air at the end you slightly shift over to left but you still hold mostly down oh and you want to stay in the air until the finish line is that the right way to do it uh yeah you don't actually have to but that's just the way that I like to do it cuz I like being in a glider yeah I don't blame you it looks cool I'm going for it I really like this one I get first try this cool one that that that was pretty good yeah pretty much hold down don't go too far left that's good as long as you skip the offroad you did it well yes we take those and then the shroomless shortcut right here like this boom boom boom boom let's go we are popping off right here and then this is the Sha shortcut never mind I failed that one cut cut okay I'm going to try this again there we go just like that perfect perfect yep keep holding mostly down only a little bit left very you got the air pocket that was really nice that was so fun and it's really cool how you can do this shortcut without doing motion glider and it's faster than going around right yeah it's definitely faster than going around this was actually discovered quite late into the game for many years people didn't know about this even though it doesn't require motion glider yeah no I I never knew that was a thing that's going to be really helpful I'm going to start doing that online cuz you still get the item box too which is huge the double box yeah but if you had motion glider you could do this oh my gosh I I messed it up that that was pretty good though that was pretty good so for the tram bounce on lap one you just have to drive a pretty fast lap one you get a purple mini turbo here and then you have to hit these tricks very specifically I'll explain it after and then you get a mini turbo trick off of the tram this saves a full second compared to not doing this so on lap one you can get a huge Breakaway if you do this um I give this one a difficulty of five out of five probably the toughest one you are going to learn today it reminds me of like the DK jungle Super bounce but with a moving mushroom pad exactly exactly it's a Super bounce and that's part of why you gain so much time but it's moving and it's a very tiny Target I really excited for this one but this might take a lot of tries okay here we go so Troy before you get started I want to make sure you know exactly what to do off of each ramp because otherwise you won't get it the alignment in in the ramps is the most important part you want to get a trick off the first ramp left drift into a trick off the second ramp and then don't trick off the Third ramp you have to make sure you hit it exactly like that then you can right drift off of the booster and you should land on the tram assuming everything you did before that was exactly what I said got it I I got it I'm going for it right now actually here we go oh no oh wait wait wait that was a pretty good first attempt that was actually kind of close yeah no I'm I'm getting the second try I changed my mind this is not going to take many attempts I think I got it oh that's it but my angle is like totally garbage but but that was it like I got the the the uh metro booat into the Super bounce that was amazing wow that didn't take us you're you're you got that Mario Kart Ultra Instinct sometimes you know like this is this is so difficult and you're getting this very very quickly I feel like for me the Super bounce is something I've known since the original Mario Kart 8 so this one you know it's also a track that I've played for a long time much longer than than the booster por pass ones so that's why this one's just clicking a little bit easier despite it being harder than the other ones all right here we [Music] go I I'm clicking it I'm clicking it what is this how many times do I have to click the freaking trick button I suspect you're probably tricking too early your trick needs to come after the Bounce has already begun [Music] yeah yeah let's go oh that was so satisfying that's one of the co saves one second it felt like it too better than most shortcuts yeah no that's what I was going to say it it really feels like a shortcut I guess it's not technically a shortcut you're not really cutting part of the track but you're just going faster than a bullet Bill all of a sudden yeah it's crazy how much it saves all right we've peaked but let's keep going so this shortcuts a bit similar to Peach Gardens the entire shortcut section is Offroad even the ramp so you have to make sure you release your mini turbo early so it's gone by the time you try to trick so here watch how early I release this and then there we go the ramp is Offroad the ramp is Offroad what yeah it doesn't look like it but the ramp is Offroad this is the hardest shortcut in the game I'm dead serious but you just taught me something I didn't realize which is having to release the me tro early nobody ever taught me that so I'm going for it right now all right let's see it oh first try I I feel like I just got so lucky I clipped something and I shot forward I I feel like that was a fluke I'm not going to lie I cannot believe it but let me tell you something I hit the wall too if you want to make an error on that shortcut you want to hit the wall if you're too far left you will actually fail the shortcut but if you hit the wall it's okay I'm going to show you what what would happen if you try to do the old meta for this watch this I'm going to release it as late as possible I lost always happened to me that that's what always happens every single time you have to release your mini chobo early I'm going for it again this is just let's see you get it right away I know do I'll be so happy oh oh you you still almost made that that was crazy what did I do wrong there that one was uh exactly what we were just talking about where you went too far to the left and you weren't even close to the wall really um oh wow yeah you you want to air on the side of bonking the wall rather than completely avoiding the wall [Music] okay yes I made it I made it I think I think you saved time I think you saved time that was good and then here don't you like release some M you do this and you you get like a m turbo like that or something yeah yeah yeah and then it's like boom boom boom boom boom something like that is that good what the hell is that good yeah that was good yes wait what am I teaching you here and then how do you how to do this one you like this and then you do this and you hold it close close you hold it and you go like this and you do that and then you go and then you go yippe t 40 seconds world record wow what are we doing on Wario Stadium you already know how to play this track so I I I feel like the better I get at this game the more I like Wario stadium for all the tech here like watch this releas a mini turbo and right hop in the air hit that booster and then drift off the third one oh wait if you have a mushroom you then take this trck here yeah which you can do with a purple mini turbo watch yeah it's such a fun track so you charge up a blue mini turbo and go off the ramp with it charged when you release the blue mini turbo right after the ramp you actually have to input right and drift or hop so it's called a right air hop and this immediately corrects your vehicle instead of pointing left it starts pointing forward do you release the jump button or do you hold it afterwards you release it so you're going to go you're going to get your mini turbo and just hit quickly hit right R and that will all right all right there you go okay now that is exactly something you want to avoid right afterwards which is doing an airhop makes you land in a super weird drift and so you can't land in a drift you actually just drive off the second booster and then you drift off the third booster oh released too early that weird yes I got it I got it yes yes nice oh that that was amazing perfect good lines too on the shortcut oh that was so good all right I'm set on this track this is one my favorite tracks in the base game like the original 48 it's just so good like they really nailed it I love what they did with Ds Warrior stadium so piranha plant Cove has become one of my favorite tracks again just like squeaky clean Sprint one of the water tracks very unexpected as you can see here there's a couple of really cool shortcuts like this one right here where you bounce off the little red thing and get a purple mini turbo I love that one so you're like skipping so much thanks to the water but you also come out with a mini turbo and then we have another one coming up right here after the glider uh which is also it is a much bigger shortcut it's much easier this one but yeah uh for this one you can just you can just drift off like that nice motion gliding very nice and then I don't know if it was optimal but yeah and then just like the other one you charge a purple mini turbo so you're coming out of the shortcut super fast so satisfying and this is the best one coming up third right yeah yeah the third one well the other on are easy I would say this one is the one where you can save the most time compared to your competitors who don't know how to do it but it is very very difficult I give this one a five out of five I sometimes struggle with this one as well so we're going to see if I can pull it off first try um and we're going for the fast version of the shortcut cuz it is so much cooler you got this orange mini turbo early trick go to the right hold down you make it between this Gap mini turbo onto the booster let's go oh my go it is one of my shortcuts in this game you were getting good at this game that was an impressive lap world record Pace don't stop I was always good what are you talking about oh okay okay okay you you were cooking something yeah yeah it it was close I just didn't have enough air so there's pretty much everything you have to get right here you want to trick early off of the ramp coming out of the water get an orange mini turbo as fast as you can aim slightly diagonally towards the middle coin do an uptick which means hold up on your stick as you trick earlier than it looks like you're actually allowed to that's very important why does it have to uptick well for one you want to be holding up so that you go down in the water but the other thing is like it's a weird thing about water tricks where if you do a left or right trick the animation ends sooner and instantly gives you your Boost you want the Boost to come as late as possible and upticks and down tricks actually delay your Boost in the and then right before you land you switch to holding a right drift and after you have turned completely sideways you switch to holding down and from there you can make Minor Adjustments but you still have to be mostly holding down okay this is a lot mhm it is a lot this is a lot this one's absolutely a five out of five difficulty even once you're very good at it you can still fail it sometimes and there's so many things you have to get just right all right here we go [Music] oh oh oh what is that it that's it this guy is so talented that was your second [Laughter] try wow that was incredible I I don't I don't know how first of all you did everything right congrats really good job I don't know how your brain managed to think about every subsequent input so quickly cuz there are so many things you got to do there that exem impressive when you were explaining everything like I was just like going through it like on my joystick while I wasn't even playing like I was literally like mapping it out like as you were playing and doing it I was doing the inputs on my controller and just like trying to get that muscle memory cuz it was a lot but that is so smart because you can practice without panicking and without like visual inputs of you doing it wrong on wi Rainbow Road there are two very important pieces of tech to know and the first one is the gap jump but it all starts from the half pipes on the first half pipe after you go into the air you want to hit right and R to stay high and this one you hit nothing then you hop right here that gives you a mushroom boost to clear the Gap I'm going to give this one a difficulty one out of five this one is 100% consistent okay so I go off here and then I go off here and then I jump and then I got it yeah awesome yeah one thing is you don't have to trick on the half pipes oh okay it's probably easier not to I'd imagine perfect stay up and then this one you don't have to hit anything for the second one there you go I got so so this this air hopping thing is for Real wow it's all over the place this is so interesting it's like an invisible Tech exactly yeah yeah it's like if you just watched Mario Kart you would have never known about it know about it yeah oh it's so so fascinating to me so it is right after the cannon this is kind of like a halfpipe skip and it's very interesting this halfpipe you may not get the Boost panel I mean you may not get the mushroom boost unless you do it like that and then see the Flames under my tires that's how you know I got a mushroom Boost from that halfpipe um if you just try to cut off as much as you can you actually won't get the mushroom boost I'm going to go for it right [Music] now that okay see there were no flames under your tires and you slowed down because you didn't get a mushroom boost so this is another one of those invisible Tech in this game where you have to know exactly what to do there so the key with this one is you want to aim a left drift to the bottom corner of the blue panel and right before you get to the blue panel you have to while holding R the whole time you have to press left and then release a for a brief moment what this makes no sense are you serious all right I'm going to go for it you tell me if I get it or not here we go all right all right let's see it oh too [Music] low oh that's it oh first try well I guess second try but the first try was so bad true true Did did you did you actually do everything I said I think so yeah I pressed left I got let go of a I held R I think I think that was perfect right like that felt so good I I was so surprised by that like what the heck oh my gosh man this guy Troy once again proven why he is the Mario Kart I hey I was The Glitch Master of Mario Kart Wii like back in the day that was my nickname don't feel bad guys if you can't get it as quickly as Troy got it got it again yes yes that that is so crazy why do you have to let go of a I do not understand this game at all I feel like I understand this game even less after today even though I'm better at the game now but that that is so fun that's actually more fun than doing the Gap jump that's like really really incredible oh wow I I'm having so much fun learning these shortcuts we absolutely have to do a part two and I know the audience is going to want to see me learn some more shortcuts from you because you are the short cat you know the shortcuts you guys should leave a like if you want to see a part two and give suggestions of what shortcuts you want to see and you absolutely have to check out the video on shortcuts Channel where he learns Mario Kart Wii glitches shortcuts low jumps and Tech it's going to be just like this one but I'm going to be the teacher this time and we'll see how he does hope to see you guys there [Music] [Applause] [Music] w [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] I'm going for it I'm going for it I don't need your tutor a all right let's get started then show me show me how it's done
