Mario Kart Friday | MK8DX Live

Welcome to Mario Kart Friday. The first hour of the stream will be consisting of regular lobbies with viewers much like last week. We will transistion into a special tournament at 9PM ET. I guess I'll call it the "Koopaling Color Rush."
Suggested by Big Floppa, this is a tournament for the Koopalings, but there is a catch (and the reason I'm calling it the Koopaling Color Rush" your combo's color has to match your Koopaling of choice. For example, if Iggy is your choice, then you're going to want as much green as possible. Ludwig blue, Wendy = pink, etc. Failure to follow these rules will result in Floppa disqualifying you himself. Still, it shouldn't be that difficult to find a combo for your Koopaling of choice. I know what I'm running for the tournament. What about you?

I said I was going to give some VOD commentary despite watching live, so here I am.

I've been waiting for this one for a long time, and I expected it to be the result of Father Boo taking away your Fire Flower, but this works too.
Father Boo *has* to be Pero, as when he gave you the Fire Flower here, he had some choice words from Fuwawa Abyssgard for the player who originally had it.
"Fire is banned. Bau bau."

If I had felt up for playing this time, my Koopaling of choice would have probably been Larry, and I probably would have put him in the Blue Falcon with the Hylian Kite glider. Tires would have been either Blue Standard or Azure Roller. Tires wouldn't affect the name of the build. It's "I'm Blue" either way, and it stays within the tournament rules because Larry has blue hair.
If not Larry, then I don't know who I would have used or what build to make to stay within tournament rules, which is why I probably would have gone with Larry.
Morton? I'd have to go Circuit Special with GLA tires and Super Glider, but I wouldn't have very good Handling with Morton in Circuit Special.
Wendy? No pink tires, so there's a color violation no matter which ones I would use.
Iggy? Not a fan of the color green, and I'm also not sure if the Flower Glider would be a color violation despite fitting with Iggy so much better than the Paper Glider.
Roy? Same issue as Wendy.
Lemmy? I could go Inkstriker or Splat Buggy with Cushion tires and either the Parachute or Parafoil glider.
Ludwig? The Larry build works, but if I'm using Ludwig, I want The Duke for my vehicle body (because of John Wayne's Fifth Symphony), and that would be a color violation.

Fun fact. I saw a clip yesterday (before my bad 24-hour stretch started) of IRyS being introduced to the Modern Warfare 2 mission responsible for the "second rule of Sunshine Airport".
Also, Merry Mountain's on the board, and that's where I made my first-ever Hololive Mario Kart cameo. On New Year's Day. With Hakos Baelz hosting. That race is also one of my 6 starred races, with the others as follows: a 4-player Yoshi Valley race featuring you and Jacob (and I don't recall off the top of my head who the 4th player was), a Peach Gardens race where I got to race against Nerissa Ravencroft and her sister Aradia (which was also my first and only victory in my Hololive cameos), the Madrid Bob-Omb that got Jacob and Stickman at the end of the first lap, last week's Rosalina's Ice World race, and using "Time Warden Yoshi" at Singapore Speedway for my most fun 200cc race ever. Needless to say, it's going to take something special in the future to get me to remove any of those stars, and there's no chance of me removing the star from Merry Mountain or Peach Gardens.

Why, oh why couldn't we get the "alternate alternate path" instead of Kalimari Desert? Getting Kalimari here creates a repeat situation later in the tournament, and since I'm not playing, there's no chance I mess with wind's race result at Yoshi Valley, so I have one question for Shigeru. What was the upside for going with Kalimari instead of Yoshi Valley here?

Most months, Dragon Driftway would be the only bad selection. This month, PPC is the only good selection.
Obviously, Random is exempt from these designations because that's not actually a course.
1:24:35
Why am I hearing Oozora Subaru in the background?

This, as well as the next 2 timestamps (if all goes according to plan) are why I had the Tour Guide on standby.
(in Tour Guide voice) If you look straight ahead, you can see two happy Wigglers in their natural habitat.
(back to normal voice) Watch out for Wiggler feet, Justin!
1:41:29
(in Tour Guide voice) Once again, you can see two happy Wigglers in their natural habitat if you look straight ahead, but if you wait too long, they'll be behind us because of a Bullet Bill.
1:42:18
(still in Tour Guide voice) If you look straight ahead, you can see a happy Wiggler in its natural habitat, but if you look over to your left, you can see Wiggler butt. If you wait too long this time, your vision will be obstructed by Blooper ink. Sorry about this interruption to our Wiggler tour.
1:44:56
Awww... Mira al adorable dormilón Wiggler. ❤
1:45:47 (technically seen 2 seconds sooner, but this timestamp works better because we can act like the upcoming Spanish phrase is being spoken *to* the Wiggler)
Buenos días, feliz Wiggler. ¿Dormiste bien?
That will do for VOD commentary this time. Enjoy. 😄
