I'm a 54 year old complete beginner to gaming who just got my very first nintendo switch oled. Am finding it hard to press different buttons at different times and am forever crashing. So am turning to good old CZcams and search for beginners tuition / tips. This is the first useful video I found, so thank you Bayesic. Who knew that there was a flipping INFO button tucked away at the bottom !! Within minutes you have got me taking off at the start and finally learnt to drift. The world is my oyster, and I don't like being defeated so thanks to CZcams for help. 👍🏼 🤣
So glad to be able to help, and YES the info menu was 100% the most helpful thing for me when I started too!
I hope you have a lot of fun sir!
Best of luck sir. Hope i run into ya on online sometime haha
53 year old gamer here but not new to it. Been a gamer almost my whole life. Glad to hear you're having fun!
So wholsome
63 yr old nana who got a Nintendo Switch for Christmas from my 4 adult sons so I can play with them. This was so helpful, I’ve never played gaming systems so just remembering where to put my fingers is where I’m at. I’ll keep watching and PRACTICING! They.l be so impressed next time they ask me to join them!!!
This man has a channel with 5k subs yet the quality is comparable to those with hundreds of thousands. Get this man more subs
PREACH
Just gotta be consistent and put out good contents, people will come.
I just subbed before reading this comment too. He really does have some great content
LoL no
@@chrisandreas3142 hello fellow commentor! Today we have a loser in the wild. He has not seen sunlight or touched grass in 5 years!
bruh shut up cringe
I’ve literally gold cupped every cup on 200cc, I consistently perform well online, why the hell am I watching this? Why is your video so compelling?
The effort
This is so awesome for people who are just starting out in the game. Although I already know everything in this tutorial this video was still entertaining. Great work mate
Hi the G
@@EagleGamer_ Hi Eagle gamer
Hi the G
One thing I really don’t like about playing Mariokart 8 online, is that once you reach a certain amount of points, EVERYONE in the lobby is playing Waluigi in the wiggler cart with roller wheels, some exceptions being that sometimes they’re Waluigi in the biddybuddy or Mr. Scooty. It gets annoying seeing that all the time when I’m just trying to have a good racing session. Everyone goes with the “meta” option and seeing tryhards all the time online is just really strange. A few times I was the only one who wasn’t playing Waluigi, and those races can get really annoying, really fast.
To be fair it was the same way with Mario kart Wii ... Everyone playing funky Kong flame runner
Why is other's enjoyment ruining your own personal experience? If that's what they have fun playing as I don't understand why you feel the need to be so pissed off by it, no one's stopping you from playing whatever character and build u wanna play
@@Junya01 I never said I was pissed off, I just wanna see some variety every now and then. I don't really care if people feel like they need the "meta" karts to get better at the game, I just want to see other characters for once that's all. Like, it's a game with at *least* 20 different characters to choose from, and it just feels weird seeing everyone play the same thing lol
@@jayleaf23 you. You're the variety, why don't you embrace it. And you specifically said you're annoyed by people choosing meta builds, so you care at least a little bit.
Meta builds are meta cuz they feel the best to play, gameplay dictates what people choose to drive. The game may have variety but that doesn't mean everyone has to be different for variety's sake, and that shouldn't annoy you. If u wanna see variety, be the one to switch characters and karts
@@Junya01 shut up Pichu
I absolutely love tutorials that actually explain how to get better AND emphasize that the most important thing is to have fun.
Great video man!
holding coins in first place is good incase boo steals your item and leaves you defenceless so having the coin as your first item will prevent that. it keeps me in first more often and allows me to make some distance between the rest of the players in the game.
Yeah that’s definitely true I just didn’t wanna overly complicate things for this video
The single greatest tip that has helped me is using the items defensively. Before, I was always throwing them out behind me in hopes of tripping up another player lol. I didn't realize how useful they are for keeping yourself in the lead.
bingo..i was just telling him this..i just started playing last nite..once i found the right kart/stats i was flying..but they kept attacking me right before the finish line..yea i was throwing attacks out kinda randomly..just to immediately attack the driver ahead of me & get clear for a new one..but the patient holding of the banana slip i'll try..i like how the game warns you of incoming attacks too like a jet fighter..ive been led to racing games because ive been too calm/patient w my endeavors & need to speed everything up..the games are practice..the parallels & physics are the same
This is a very well put together video, I’m not a beginner but it was still fun to watch , one thing I want to mention though is that In 200cc if someone throws a red shell at you while you have a bomb is behind you, you can avoid the blast radius by a literal centimeter if you happen to have a purple drift boost at that exact moment.
Really useful. My kids got this for Christmas so we're very much new to it. Excellent content. Thanks!
This video is great! My friends and I spent years playing Mario kart Wii - always on automatic and never having to drift. When I started Mario kart 8 I felt really frustrated at the controls. This video is really helpful 😃
Completed the game 100% (all gold parts) and I still learned a lot of stuff here. Keep up the great work man!
HA! Thank for this info I can't believe the kids and I did not see the tutorial on the front page. This will help level up the family and make game nights even more competitive. I've watched a few of your videos and you make great content. Keep it up!
This was very insightful and I learnt a lot of useful tiny details that make the difference. Thanks a lot !
Very good detailed video im relatively new to the game so this was helpful
I subscribed and liked which I rarely do! I had no idea about the tips lists! I will finally master the boost! Prepare to have videos liked!
Appreciate that!
Thank you very much for this short and informative little video :)
Wow. I learned so much! Already beating my friends due to your videos, and this video filled in a lot of gaps in my knowledge.
Brilliant video as always!
I bought the game yesterday, ive loved the series since I was 5 but I haven’t really grinded on the game. So this is helpful!!
Nice info. Underrated channel.
Subscribed!
Video came in just in time for the MK8 tournament that’s coming next week. Good on you mate
This video is amazing, very nice job!!
Your videos are fantastic, I’ve got to say. Thank you
Subbed. Great content. Keep up the good work!
This was a really great video! Another video idea that might be useful is tips for avoiding the middle of the pack, and what to do if you do end up stuck in the purgatory that is the middle of the pack.
I recently did the time trial staff ghosts too unlock the golden wheels and I was quite surprised when I noticed later on I was doing significantly better in online and grand prix mode. It makes sense in hindsight but when a few days ago you were struggling to get 5th or 6th place and you glance at the map and realise not only are you in 1st place but there's actually a very large gap between you and 2nd place it's a pretty cool feeling.
It helps to think of the lines to take like if you stretched string inside the “walls” of the track. you would follow the string
This is definitely the best guide I have seen
This video was amazing! I just got this game and i was confuse so tyvm.
Awesome glad to hear you found it useful!
Thank you for the video!
Super Horn? We've always called it the Boom Box 😁
Excellent, thanks!👍
I mainly play Yoshi/P-Wing/Slick/Super Glider, and this advice was all super helpful as I’m trying to get better at the game and raise my score!
Edit (1 month later): I’ve changed my main vehicle to Streetle/Roller/Cloud Glider, and since writing this comment, I’ve gone from about 4.5k VR to 6.5k VR. On the offchance you’re reading this, thank you!
Been playing for a while now, but this video just taught me a new shortcut on the Dragon track, and how to optimally glide on the sand track
This is such an amazing video, I wish I had this 4 years ago lol
Now I’m just looking for an advanced guide video. I’m currently sitting 32K VR, but always looking to improve
Haha almost twice as much as mine (currently at 17.2k)
Thanks for the tips!
Thanks, very helpful!
I can't believe this game has been out for so long and only now there are good videos out that go in-depth on the mechanics
I only started making videos because I play with a group of people and I couldn’t find any good resources for them. So I pulled a Thanos and was just like “I’ll do it myself“ lol
I started playing this game recently. Great game. I just have a couple nitpicks. The one that bothers me is N64 Rainbow Road. It feels too short with one lap and I prefer the old space theme instead of the change to city lights. On the other hand, I really enjoy how they made 200 cc very playable in comparison to other mario kart games.
100% agreed on N64 rainbow road
This was helpful thank you.
I'm so glad there's "something" that puts the blue shell in it's place
Good stuff! As a semi-pro MK8D player, I've got one main piece of advice.
Memorize the layout of each and every track as fast as you can! Including all the shortcuts, item box locations, places you can trick off of, hazards, etc. This will help you focus more on item management and driving technique since you won't be thinking about where you have to go all the time.
A less significant, but still important piece of advice is, you don't have to do a trick off of everything all the time! While 99% of the time you should, there are situations (especially on 200cc) where you don't want to trick so you can maintain control or ride the better line.
Good luck out there!
Thx
Thank you so much, was very helpful
I would LOVE a video going in depth with inwards! I’ve been using it lately and it would be nice
I'll keep in mind those, especially item management, info screen and time trials
I feel like drifting and item management were probably the most important things to learn as a beginner. Happy racing!
Time trials ate super underrated. I finally figured out drift braking so I've been trialing the 200cc action
i just got MK8D for my b-day and i doubted i could do most of the things you say but OH MY GOD THANK YOOUUUUUUU
I have set myself yesterday to beat all the 150cc staff ghosts without any mushrooms.
It was far easier than I thought. I've only had to restart in two races because I fell off the track.
And NOW I have done it on 200cc!
Cheep Cheep Beach, Ribbon Road and Super Bell Subway were very painful to do, but I managed to persevere and fully master the game.
Bayesic. Your training helped me do all this.
Thank you.
Appreciate the video
Ty king 🙏🏼
This was sooooo useful
This really is a helpful video
I've been playing it on and off for maybe a month and didn't know coins make you go faster. I was about to just quit playing because I suck too bad (At 200cc and online.) Thank you Mr. Man.
I just recently got into Mario Kart and one thing I would always tell my wife when she would play or already knew to do was stay close to the inside of the track from running track in high school, that’s why the lanes have different starting points
My friend just got me into the game yesturday, got completely rekt so I watched him play a little and turns out he's a 99999 player xd. Gonna try really hard to learn a new map that he has little knowledge on and this guide really helps alot. Hopefully I can beat him in at least one map!
Good luck with that man
Man, you made me feel like 150cc was actually possible for me as someone who was TERRIFIED of it because I was bad at MarioKart (read: I always played really casually). With these tips alone I felt confident enough to start some Grand Prix races. Three stars on Mushroom Cup and I pulled WAY ahead on Mario Circuit in the Flower Cup. I know to a lot of people that's not a big deal, but it makes me really hapoy.
It also makes me really happy that my favorite character (Daisy) is good for beginner builds, heheh.
I’m glad to hear it!
Good stuff
The last bit of advice is strongest "keep on playing"
Was same advice my friend told me about trickshotting on cod, now I flex online on battle royals.
Different game but the advice is solid and has helped me alot
Lmao that's me except I don't get any better as much as I play lol
I suck at every game fr
Keep it going with your content please!! Do you play Crash Team Racing?
Its amazing how people never know about the coin trick in first place. Maybe one of the biggest first place tricks you can do.
I am really looking forward to the item management video!!!
Regarding Time Trials: I can only confirm that it brings the most to invest a lot of time in it! Best if you have friends, with whom then the times are comparable. During the covid lockdown, we literally beat each other daily in the shared apartment!
About the item management video: I would be happy about individual strategies depending on the placement!
As always: The videos of you are the best!
this game is so fun I cant stop playing it
THANK YOU SO MUCH
i just got the game and your videos are a huge help! thank you!
I more of a mkwii kinda guy, but this is a very well made video and who knows; maybe I'll renew my online member ship and try mk8 someday. :D
Man gracias por tu video la verdad esto me va ayudar mucho acabo de comprar el switch para mi hijo pero igual ya me gusto mucho y ahora ya se que tengo que hacer seguiré mirando tus videos saludos bye
Not a beginner, but absolutely great video. Every point is well explained and doesn't overstay its welcome, and has great tips without being too babying or obvious. Keep it up!
If you don't mind video ideas, maybe a video that explains the mechanics behind each stat? I think that could make for a super interesting deep-dive.
Thanks! I was definitely concerned about coming across as patronizing, so I’m glad to hear that’s not the case
Thanks 🙏
Tight lines is big. I usually play with my family on 100cc, and one day I just wasn't feeling like putting in the effort to drift or trick. Instead, I just went for clean, tight lines. Despite never drifting or tricking, I was still sometimes coming in first just by taking tighter lines.
8:50 coins in your primary slot also serve as a defensive barrier against boos stealing your actual defensive item (and it's why I assumed people do this)
In some cases it's better to use the coin and just have the item trailing, as you won't be able to react in time if a red shell is thrown at you from close by otherwise.
Wow, you did a great job on showcasing! I'm a veteran of Mario Kart, and when I started watching Mankalor, I quickly knew how to play more professionally.
Another tip to get better is, when you're drifting, try to stay as close to the edge as possible, but not too close; otherwise, you might mess up your drift and waste time.
I just got the game like 2 days ago and I didn't know the super horn could stop projectiles until I found out when randomly trying it when I was about to be hit by a blue shell😁
Last time I played MC was on SNES. Looks like there's been some changes but the fundamentals are pretty familiar. Thanks!
You’d be surprised at how different they are. I went back and tried to play Mario kart on the switch emulator and it took me so long to figure it out haha
@@Bayesic for sure it's way more technical and more attention to detail but playing offense and defense still has a familiar feel. It's a lot of data to consume all at once but I think once I get back into it it'll still be just as fun.
Here's a beginner question: When I'm gliding, is it faster to extend the glide as far as practical or to try to get down on the road as soon as I'm over track? Is gliding faster or slower than driving?
Gliding is definitely slower than driving, so generally you wanna try and get back to the track more quickly
@@Bayesic Thanks!
Thanks
A few of these skills I developed from my mario kart 64 days
I just completed all the 150cc Grand Prixs with triple stars today 😅😅😅😅😅
It’s perfect
My favourite build: Iggy on the inkstriker roller wheels and parachute
another good one is king boo on the teddy buggy roller wheels and parachute
I want to note that you generally don't need to drop bombs behind you in 200cc, you'll be going fast enough that you'll outrun the explosion
Ah good timing I'm just getting into MK8 in 2021 after playing Forza Horizon 5 I'm not master at drifting lol!
I'm shocked to hear that people dislike time trialing. These are my favorite part of any racing game.
Then it's totally time to try TrackMania
toooooo cold
Try beating all the staff ghosts in CTR Nitro Fueled to get Master Wheels. That's a damn gauntlet of mastering the game.
Great video and much thanks!! I’ve tried looking on CZcams but is there any practice tips you’d recommend? Like if I’m trying to get good as fast as possible maybe a few track/NISC recommendations I should grind out ? Almost have all the dev ghosts beat and I completed the game all the way through 200cc which wasn’t too challenging. Thanks again !
I'd suggest electrodrome, Mario Circuit 3 (if you have the booster course pass), and Neo Bowser City just because those tracks all require you to master skills that are useful on basically every course in the game
@@Bayesic much thanks ! Planning to purchase dlc asap
And can’t wait for Bayesic Training on Neo Bowser ! It’s my favorite track !
@@mikeyflaherty4616 it’s coming out within the next week!
@@Bayesic POGU. Excellent content and I bet you’ll get a big spike in viewership with the 2023 tracks coming out later this year! I played tons of snes and n64 kart as a kid but then got old and had kids hahaha great to see the game is better then ever with a pretty large community!
Subscription 👍🏻😊❤️
*A question* from an absolute beginner. (If you have the time and desire to answer, that would be nice) : is the Special Cup, the distance Bone Dry Dunes (Desert). Is the second track in the Cup. I don't know if it's also the English name. I just can't get to the upper level after the ramp. Is there a trick? Don't have this problem with any other track. I'm at a loss. -
*I like time trials too* 😊
Upper level is slower any way so don’t worry about it :-)
I love dry bones :)
I was SHOCKED to find out that there's no turbo charging difference between a 2-o'clock drift and a 3. I just assumed it was a linear increase, but knowing that I only need a 2-o'clock for fast turbos is a massive help.
6:20 Alberto el Padre 🇪🇸
pov: you and your family play mario kart as a family game and you wanna beat them
When I play with my daughters I just shell the daylights out of all the CPUs
They get to win and I get to practice ruining people’s days
@@Bayesic lol
@@Bayesicthat's some next level pro gaming lol
i just have to learn when to start drifting and how to move the joystick while drifting in every turn in the game and then i’ll be set
I am watching this for the only sole reason of beating my friends, rather than becoming a pro and playing online lol
5:20 even if you are in those angles the drift doesn't charge that fast if you wiggle left and right
Yup. That’s because wiggling actually takes you out of the fast charging angles
11:44
I wish it was like this on Wii U pretendo network lmao
How to Play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - PLAY THE GAME. IT'S THAT SIMPLE.
Holding the coin in first is about to save my life
What are those blue things on the maps that when you hit them, you spin slowly with that blue shield around you….
