I still think about The Shock sometimes but I completely forgot I actually documented it anywhere.
Full lore is that I got into MarioKart Wii a few years ago and I loved playing as "The Shock", and my friends and I would joke about it all the time as we pulled of big streams of Funky combos
I can't explain what any of my other insane ramblings are but thank you so much for featuring me and enjoying my nonsense!
Edit: Long Live The Shock😎💪
you arent the person in the video tho EDIT: nevermind I checked the original video and saw your comment. my bad
My left ear enjoyed some entries
I thought my headphones broke mid video💀
The real question here is:
"Does Mario really say 'SpongeBob?'"
who tf chooses mario bruh
@@massive_dick_gaming Chadderz would be at least one of the players who chooses Mario. :')
The characters are there, just some get used less than the others.
discuss
Discuss.
I was thinking of commenting about this. Huge missed opportunity.
I said this before, but thanks for making this series on my dumb iceberg. I may update it later down the road, but I’m probably not going to do it by myself if I want to go even more obscure. Also with the nature of the MKWii community discovering things as fast as they do (in fact as this series was going there was a discovery with outside drifting bikes that revolutionized the TAS scene), I’ll just update it as these things are discovered, and see where we go from there :).
Didn’t know grassy played mkwii, that’s my personal canon now.
Honestly, I find it very interesting and has a lot of depth that I did not know about. Pretty good iceberg imo.
@@glacierwolf2155 thanks! That means a lot :)
I’m glad that I’m not the only one who saw the Daisy Circuit jumpscare but I’m also sad that it exists
I just wanna thank you for not giving attention or sensationalizing the cases of abuse in the MKW community. It's a very sour topic, and I think the way you handled was the best way you possibly could have.
He was very joyful about James Charles tho. Who spliced pictures from young boys so yeah. Kinda supporting the guy there.
@@jimma1432 I mean, not everybody knows every little thing about every single person who got famous, got outed for doing bad things, and then was infamous because of those bad things. I kept up pretty well in the James Charles controversy and there are still things today that I'm finding out about. I think it's pretty fair to think "this guy who nobody likes but is still a popular beauty youtuber who everyone memed on actually was a popular guy in this community, funnily enough." A ton of people on the internet literally couldn't care less about the beauty community and probably only heard about him in passing.
kind of unfair to assume that just because someone spoke "joyfully" (in the same tone as the majority of the rest of the video?) about a bad person, that means they're supporting that bad person and shouldn't be spoken well about lmao
14:57 "Weird World Records" might refer to the times when you checked the world records for a track through Nintendo Wifi and the record holder's time would be 00:00.002 because they tampered with the internal code of the game so that they could finish the race after crossing the start/finish line on the start-up boost. There was some examples of 00:02.xxx since the person disabled key checkpoints except for the starting line. That way they can cross the finish line, start the next lap, reverse, cross the finish line, start the next lap, etc. Malleo's clip that you used in "Lap count beyond 3" is how hackers completed the course so quickly.
27:54 "Mario Kart Wii Physics for the win" I believe it was first used in the RTCT #1 video Troy made in 2011.
No he was right about the “Weird World Records” segment. I wish I worded that entry better though
51:54 the signs are because the trees are two intersecting planes with a transparent texture. The texture of the tree also contains textures for many other details in the course (like signs) the uvs of the tree just extended a bit too far downwards in the image.
34:25 Hi again, around the same time as my discovery in desert hills, I actually found this gap in the invisible wall too. I immediately figured it had some ultra shortcut potential, but I honestly assumed it was something that had already likely been tested and I shrugged it off. However, the success of my desert hills theory gave me the opportunity and confidence to share it with some TASers, and they were able to go absolutely insane and make the 16th ultra shortcut happen! It remains flap only to this day due to the very long setup of riding the seam back to the start line, but the flap record itself has seen some significant optimization since that initial discovery.
Unfortunately, I never made any other significant discoveries after this, other than documenting some weird checkpoint behavior. I was never interested in learning how to TAS and the more advanced mechanics of the game, so instead, I started making custom tracks a few months later. I didn't expect this video to give me so many memories, but here we are.
32:40 As the person who pieced together this shortcut in January 2020, I can try to explain how it works in more detail. By diving off of the wall to the right after the start, you can get respawned behind the region of currently loaded checkpoints, allowing you to drive backwards and enter back into the region from the opposite side. Normally, this would be much slower, in fact, a similar thing can be done in Yoshi Falls without any benefit.
However, in desert hills, the distance between kcp 1 and 2 is so great, covering nearly half of the track, that driving backwards can actually be faster, especially when combined with the backwards shortcut you showed in the video. However, it causes a lap position glitch which is why it was banned iirc. Finally, it is possible to do that backwards shortcut shroomless with a well-timed hop, so I'm not really sure where that leaves it in terms of time trial viability.
And no, it isn't an ultra shortcut because you are not going back to hit the last key checkpoint, you are going back to hit an abnormally far second key checkpoint, nor are you getting OOB from the first key checkpoint region (kcp 0) but rather the second (kcp 1). I learned this the hard way...
47:14 WAIT THIS IS REAL? I thought I just had a weird memory back in the day of this. Crazy man I remember seeing this
Lol 23:20 the sound was coming out of my left ear only
I thought it was broken lmao
Mario Kart Wii was my first online console experience. me and my brother would play online and since I was very bad at the game, I would stick in last on purpose to throw blue shells at anyone who got in front of my brother. good times. that was also how we beat this one guy who was using cheats to spam Bullet Bills. In Funky Kong We Trust.
In Funky Kong We Trust.
In Funky Kong We Trust.
omg that daisy circuit jumpscare frightened the life out of me when I watched it back then 😭
tbh this is the most underrated iceberg it is so good and I learned so much from this game from my childhood
I remember back in 2013 this Mexican competitive player was streaming on CZcams home alone. He said he started to feel cool and dizzy and out of nowhere a and out of nowhere his door begins to close slowly but he doesn't give it much importance because he said that it had already happened before. 10 minutes later a very young woman's head pokes out and a viewer asks him who that young woman was and the boy said there was no one else in the house. We were a few people watching his stream, maybe 5-10 people. I remember there was a clip of what happened but the channel was shut down or changed its name. This thing was very popular in the Latino community. The clip was uploaded on Facebook btw
Very good but the lack of music is flagrant
WHY IS THE AUDIO ALTERNATING LEFT AND RIGHT OMG
Usually I don't really watch "Iceberg"-related videos, but for the sake of finding some more information about the game and see how much we know now (in a matter of a half year at the time I posted this message), it was really enjoyable to watch. :)
Awesome stuff, keep up the great work. 👍
I'd argue that Hammer Bro's potential inclusion in the game was probably more likely than Petey and Paratroopa. The icons for the game were carried over from Double Dash, meaning that Petey and Para may or may not have been considered for the game, but their icons' appearances could very well be a byproduct of asset reuse. Hammer Bro's icon meanwhile was a Wii original, meaning that he was likely actively in development at some point in development, even if he was cut early. I'm not sure when the karts were decided upon and designed, but given that Petey was eventually killed in action and his husk was turned into a car by his former partner in crime King Boo, I'm a bit more skeptical of his chances. And Para? Come on now.
I'd personally assume they chose random character icons to test how icons would appear in-game.
22:43
Just a correction here, but the mii sphinx DID make it to the final game, you have to use a mii to see it
I was about to say...thought it was some mandela effect
Yeah. A general easter egg in Mario Kart Wii is thatt Miis would show up in place of other characters in much of the newer tracks if you played as one yourself.
omg yesterday i was wondering if a mkwii iceberg exists and now youtube recommends me this. the game was there in my entire adolescence, so i'm happy. i really love the community
also, on the "unironically playing battle mode" part, as someone who was more involved in the battle side of the community than the racing part, i wish people paid more attention to it. it was really fun u_u
Really enjoyed this iceberg! I am very fond to Mario Kart Wii so it's nice to know a lot about the game and what was and is happening with the community. I thank you a lot for not playing jumpscares.
what do you f*cking mean by “jumpscares” i didnt watch the video yet but this is GODDAMN MKWII how can there be jumpscares??
oh
@@lowrngy The original Mario 64 iceberg video that started everything had a jumpscare in it (don't remember if it was just one or more), and while most iceberg videos don't contain jumpscares, some included them to follow the format of the original. Hence my comment ^_^
Watched this so blazed 🔥🔥
This is what I was waiting for! :)
And he needs to release the dong cut
I just realized I really love your voice. It's so soft and soothing to listen to lol
50:15
I wish more people knew about Eggdings, so underrated, he is in my top 20 favorite CZcamsrs.
Amazing video man, watching this is going to make me watch the rest of your iceberg vids
RELEASE THE DONG CUT
there's a good chunk of audio problems in this video (mostly stuff only playing in the left ear or suddenly getting louder), but otherwise this is a great video. I thought I knew a lot about mkwii and i was proven wrong
He initially got some entries wrong so they were recorded after, which is why they’re weird ig
Well after replaying this video multiple times, I can happily announce that draw_demo is now the setting of a terrible creepypasta. I won't link the video here because I don't know if that'll get this comment removed but it's called "The Truth Behind draw_demo and Funky Kong." It is a direct sequel to my other deranged pasta "The Shock." So be sure to check out that for full context and embrace the insanity and stupidity in both er I mean if you dare ooo spooky warning.
Now release the dong cut dang it!
53:49 i remember playing with the wii photo channel and had a mkwii ceremony photo and there was a green booger looking thing on the mii and my uncle pointed at it and asked me "what is that"
i don't remember it being on the emblem though but it was in like 2012
59:29 japan is famous for its trains and public transport so i think maybe this entry is suggesting that nintendo is subtly trying to convince the japanese population that automobiles are a superior form of transport
The game is nearly 15 and it's still massively played online. Mario kart wii never dies!!
my left ear really likes some of these entries
you know what you must do. release the dong. release the dong cut.
My left ear enjoyed this video very much
actually the "nintendo mario kart wii soundtrack wipeout" wasn't done by nintendo, but a third party impersonating nintendo.
Can't believe this iceberg didn't have a "Mario says Spongebob" entry.
Mario kart wii was some of the most insane history and glitches in any games tbh
so about the last WFC race, we actually have both perspectives of that specific race as the guy who played as 'Andrew' also recorded it and uploaded it here: czcams.com/video/p1VETWruD1k/video.html
Amazing video! I watched it until the end while playing and it was really interesting overall
Also release the uncut footage of you reading The Shock's story lmao
Such a good video man!!
amazing video! solid 10/10 on the explanations!
have to say It took me a second to relise that the footage at 18:12 was mine, I recognised it really well and then I was like. Wait hold up that's my video! Thank you for the credit!
Fun fact, mii heads appear instead of character heads on many tracks (dk summit, dry dry ruins, etc) if you play as a mii
11:54 so I actually had a book as a kid that was full of “cheats and tricks” for various video games in the Wii/DS era, and one of the things listed under Mario Kart Wii was something that said that Mii Outfit C was unlockable after playing 15,000 VS matches. Which I’m not sure where they got that information but it’s always stuck with me
gotta love how im watching this and just as you explain 'ctgp' im launching it
edit: 43:05 THATS ME LOL!! im eleking! haha the guy (zach, a good friend) asked me to join his room real quick because he wanted to record this glitch
My left ear likes this video
The Funky Kong story at around 1:01:00 took me out XD
Sounds like my insane fandom/lore ramblings on tumblr lol
Release the DONG cut
About the item box under L Curcuit, this is done, because there allways needs to be an Item box in the map or it doesn't work, in time trials there aren't any item boxes in the map exept for that 1 under the track, heard that one from Troy (or the guy from Boundary Break, i forgot his name and not really sure which one)
I played Mario kart wii as a kid with my brother, and we did the same character glitch, and we unlocked king boo, and we both wanted to play him, and the game didn't crash. We played all of special cup and it didn't crash
kind of wish there was a video about the entire series instead of just one game. good job regardless tho!
Awesome video!!!!
This video is incredible, the only thing that could be improved would be the lack of background music. Add that, and you’re golden!
a little background music would have helped but other than that. this video is amazing. 8/10
1) Coconut Mall is the best Mario Kart track of all time and no one can tell me otherwise.
2) Desert Hills is a great track. There is no negative aura, people just don’t like it for whatever reason.
3) I think Mario Kart Wii’s battle mode is one of the best in the series and the best in terms of battle map selection. The timer isn’t really a huge problem.
4) I can confirm that driving on the left side of the road is safer.
33:35 (this is to keep track of the time when I originally watched this if confused)
23:19 how come the audio went to the left??
That was a great video! Thank you!
nice vid!
20:19 There actually is a creepypasta based on that course, I remember watching a video about it almost 10 years ago (it was in Portuguese though, so idk if that creepypasta was popular in the English-speaking community)
My boy seed with another certified hood classic.
how in god's name was bumpfest not on this iceberg that video is iconic
Well "the shock" story aged like milk 🥛
49:43
I'm prety sure that the alternate Grumble Volcano Ultra refers to the fact that you can drive around another rock close to the finish line to perform an ultra shortcut, aside from the one that is usually used.
Like this: czcams.com/video/KiiM3wz0hog/video.html
I highly doubt that it refers to the 200cc Shenanigans you're showing. I'm not even sure if that would be an ultra shortcut.
This was what I was referring to. Thanks
Remember when they added funky Kong in mario kart wii?
lmao I always heard Funky Kong's voice clip as referencing some Indian guy named Dashanth, not "the shock"
23:20 did you forget my right ear existed?
Shortcutsss :D
you probably get this alot but you deserve more subscribers
Is there a way to fix the audio? Great video, but the spots where the audio is only in 1 ear get on my nerves
I'm not really at all convinced that "ma-ma-Mario Kart" is that rare. I'm pretty sure its just as common as the other intros
I think the Luna dies one is a reference to Smash. If you KO a Luma, another one with a different color will come to help Rosalina
pretty good video. it feels empty without background music though
IT"S PRONOUNCED IN-VIDIA
IT'S PRONOUNCED NO-ONE CARES
@@GribbleGob that's cool man, doesn't stop me from having an aneurysm when people say navidia
CTGP is at its 3rd Version btw, CTGP 2 is an old version lol
28:47 no screw lakitu
14:34 for me the tracks have different names, for example DK Summit is called DK’s Snowboarding Surf
That’s the American vs European versions of the game
I FORGOT ABOUT THE DAISY CIRCUIT JUMPSCARE VIDEO!! I REMEMBER WATCHING IT WHEN I WAS LIKE 8 AND I LEGIT SHIT MYSELF 😭😭😭
40:16 yeah thats what would happen if i would moonjump on tracks. Cpus come along for the ride with momentum lol
23:20 my left ear enjoys this
Why does your narration keep switching audio channels
Mario shart
Mario fart
A little tip for making iceberg videos: don't always take the fun away by saying something like "this is obviously not true". The whole point of icebergs like this after all is to take things to the extreme and dark. These videos are way more enjoyable when you talk about even the most rediculous things in an objective way so the viewer has some space for imagination. Otherwise great video
deez
My left ear liked 23:18
What happened at about 25:50? Audio just shuts off
Wow first tier and somehow something I didn't know. Not cut content, not an easter egg, just a plain old level that was in the game that I never knew about coz I never played online. 14 years is a long ass time to only just learn about a game you spent 100s of hours on hahaha
Bunch of audio problems, man. Might wanna check that out later
Can you play Mario Kart Wii online on a Wii U?
Random tangent, during the funky flame runner segment, bro had trick animations I'd never seen before. Am I being Mandela'd or was that a mod???
RELEASE THE DONG CUT!
Mario kart 8 is best Mario kart title in every world
I miss the red boxes
I got one time the ma-ma-Mario Kart and it was unexpect.😂
I'm just older than mario kart wii yesss
They should have MK Emporium in Super Nintendo world
This may be controversial to say but I don’t think it was right to skim over/disregard the grooming section for both the safety of vulnerable minors, as well as for the historical significance of some of these individuals. I understand your reasoning to not want to give attention to these figures but it is important for those to be weary around popular players who could be abusing their reach. I definitely think smaller cases need no discussion here, but some of those accused are still active on some accounts. In regard to the narrative of this video, I think it was vital to mention one by name-that being Sword0fSeals. He was a highly influential figure in the early 2010s; He made multiple videos being one of the first “content creators” alongside Troy, appeared in many of Troy’s videos along with becoming acquainted with him IRL, helped with CTGP (the Spear bike was even renamed the “Sword” in CTGP at one point), held various world records including one for the Sherbet Land Ultra Shortcut, and popularized the mystery of the 3 item boxes under DK Summit. Sword was my favorite Mario Kart player as a kid; I thought his videos were hilarious and he was an incredible player. I used to rewatch his “MK64 tracks in MKWii” video once a year until one day, when trying to find it, I discovered all his videos were gone. That’s when I learned about his online relationship with a minor. I no longer endorse him/support him, as that deprived revelation broke my heart. However, due to what he had accomplished beforehand, he’s a vital part to the game’s history. The actions of groomers are deplorable, but from a historical overview, it’s still important to recount what they had done before (or unfortunately for some cases, during) their own undoings. And of course as I initially mentioned, it’s integral to warn those who could be at risk as while I believe Sword is fully retired, I’ve seen others who’ve unfortunately been successful at closeting their past. Thank you for reading.
Wtf, never heard this about sword until now. Granted I'm not very well versed in the MKW community nowadays. I thought that entry was referring to the "When I get hit by a item, the video ends" guy
As well wiimmfi allowed people to play accf online
24:14 mario kart if Elon bought it
the Miis were turned into Shy Guys
So the miis were forced to hide themselves under robes by Nintendo lol
