"And it even takes you through a factory. This is very unique and we've never seen anything like it before." *Sad toads factory noises*

This is my favorite origins video now. The humor is spot on, and you just talking about this game makes me wanna play it! I've never played the Mario kart arcade games and I didn't care about that games until you started making videos on them. These games look so much fun, I hope Nintendo ports them to the switch!

It might have just been me, but one thing that made this game especially fun for me (it was added to the bowling alley near my cousins' home) is this: RUBBER BANDING (DONE RIGHT). From what I could tell, when you're in first, the CPUs behind you rubber-band, but when a CPU is in first, YOU rubber-band, so it's not unfairly biased. The effect this ended up creating was that there was always action going on which made it much more fun, and never felt unfair because the rubber-banding rules were applied equally to both you and the CPUs rather than being in favor just of the CPUs. That way, it never felt like they had an unfair advantage, but also ensured that the game never got kinda boring where I'm just front-running the entire time. It was constant racing action from beginning to end.

This is the only mario kart arcade game I’ve ever played. And i loved it

I LOVE MKGPDX I used to play it all the time when I was able to go to the Arcade. I hope they release it on Switch because I'm so tired of waiting for Mario Kart 9. Also Congratulations on 8K Demeech!

That Pac-Man roasting was wild! :0

I've played this one, in fact, it was my first ever Mario game! It's super nostalgic!

You can emulate this game pretty easily on pc, it's extremely fun I definitely recommend!

THIS IS FHE BEST GAME EVER LOL AND IVE NEVER EVEN PLAYED IT

Namco Circuit is my fav Mario Kart track of all time... BRING THIS MASTERPIECE BACK! Also, I feel the Mk Arcade games give the Mario franchise a lot more love than the mainline Mk games do (more creative Mario references throughout the increased item selection, Mario-themed arcade tracks include a greater amount of iconic set-pieces than most mainline tracks do, etc.)

Just found your channel recently through this series, (MK7 episode) and I'm glad I did! Love your content!

Waluigi was on a mission to find his license during the Mario Kart 7 era! It took him SO LONG to find it, that he never found it until Mario Kart Arcade GP DX was released in Japan!

I have actually played this game multiple times at some different arcades. Really cool playing as pacman characters in mario kart!

Sadly, I don’t think this game will release on console. What I think will happen is that they’ll take ideas from it and from Tour to make Mario Kart 9. Basically MK9 will be like a MK Ultimate.

This game is unusually common in the UK. I've played it a ton. It's the only good Mario Kart arcade game imo. The others are pretty underwhelming past the novelty factor. But this holds up pretty well. There was actually DLC for this game with new tracks. But the arcade owners never do it so it seems limited to japan, so I've never seen it. The game also has online capabilities which is neat.

I don’t think I’ve ever played this one, should be interesting! After watching, it’s made me wish we had this roster instead of the MK8 roster.

Nice overview of the game. This game and Mario Kart Arcade GP are the only Mario Kart Arcade games I played. Unfortunately did not get the chance to play Arcade GP 2. What's more, Mario Kart Tour took an inspiration from this game, the driver-kart-glider selection method, although in this game it is randomized. Awesome review, Demeech!!

I've been playing this game nonstop when I am at an arcade. I always see the little kids struggling to get first place and smashing that item button, as well as not drifting, but I ended up playing it like I know what I'm doing. It along with Jurassic Park the Arcade are the arcade games that I know what's going to happen.

These games are criminally underrated (especially this game). It's also sad that Namco cares more about Mario Kart Series then Nintendo.

If I ever become rich I’m buying this arcade machine

Congrats on 8k!!!!!!

I will say the arcade series especially this game has some really good music!

Its so strange, I've been a subscriber since the early days, look how many subscribers you have now!

I have actually played this game a good few times! I've been able to play the Pac-Man cup, but not the DK cup yet unfortunately... And actually about the tracks, I think all the arcade tracks (from GP 2 and DX) would be REALLY good for Mario Kart Tour. Given their length, layout and colorfulness, I think Tour is the perfect fit for them and it will give that game a huge breath of fresh air imo. Tho, however MK9 turns out, I wouldn't be opposed to having them there heh. But yeah, I think this Mario Kart is super underrated too and it's definitely really great! Awesome video on it. Also, I'm probably the only person in the world that really wishes Koopa Troopa, Boom-Boom, Birdo and Rex (as the one weird character they usually do) were playable in GP DX hehe.

Someone finally mentioned the excessive head-bobbing. Is it just me or does Tropical Coast's theme sound like Katamari Damacy? MARIO GETS A FREAKIN' F1. Metal Mario became metal in the final verdict. I wish it wasn't as scarce in the UK.

I played this once at an arcade and had a blast. In the past, I actually tried to play it on my computer and yeah, I didn't get too far because it was really confusing.

This video actually made a reason for me to like the arcade mario kart titles.

I was lucky to go to an arcade in Kuching Malaysia around 2019 and this was available to play with the cabinet, I had to play it. Excellent version.

I’ve played this game once, and arcade gp DX is really good! (I MEAN, IT HAS DON CHAN! ITS GOTTA BE GOOD!)

Pac-Man downgraded to Pac-Boy in the 2010s.

Congrats on 8k Demeech!

This game might just be in every city in Japan. Like, if you come here, you will never have to look far for one of these.

Oof that Billy Mitchell roast got me

I played this game on vacation just last year, and was pleasantly surprised. I'm not sure what I expected but in the short time I had, it was pretty fun. (I just wish I knew how to play the game better!)

This game is at my local Dave and busters and it’s so fun! Definitely deserves more attention!

I'm a Dave And Busters member, it's five minutes away from my house, and I use my wrist band. Mario Kart and Luigi's Mansion are easily the best games there.

Good thing I played the best mario kart. Sadly not the newest version but I still can play it when I go to the arcade

I'm sorry, but I like the new Pac-Man design from Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures in my opinion. And need to remind you that I always play Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 in my computer? Yeah, I have some good memories.

Fun Fact: apparently, the Ghostly Adventures Pac-Man is a decendent of the original Pac-Man

Recently ordered a graphics card for my PC JUST so I can finally play this gem on PC, it's gonna be amazing!!

Next time I go to the Dave & Buster's here in Austin, I'll keep that in mind. Though I don't remember which MarioKart arcade game they have. What I do know for sure is that they have Luigi's Mansion arcade in there (unless they removed it after summer 2019).

I once tried to get this game running on my PC, but my GPU was unsupported. Got a new computer a few days ago, and finally got this game running!

I’ve played it! Near where I like an arcade thingy has two of these with working multiplayer. It’s super fun! Multiplayer is amazing as well!

I sneezed on time with the go at the beginning

Every time i see this in an arcade it’s the only game I play

I've literally started playing this game today on Teknoparrot, unfortunately I have no way of playing it in cabinet form because in Italy we don't have any of them, but I've always wanted to try this game and it was always so hard to set up but I finally did it and god I'm glad I did cause so far it's my favourite Mario Kart game no doubt

Here’s hoping we get some of these tracks in the new DLC

I figured out that peach castle & kingdom way's layout is carried over from Mario kart arcade gp 2's, yoshi park 1, & yoshi park 2.

Gosh I really want to play this Mario Kart as it looks much more colorful and fun than 8! (Switch port plz) Also the tank mode reminds me so much of Crash Tag Team Racing, where you could clash into another driver and combinate their cars into a version in which other contorls the vehicle while the other blasts off other drivers with their own special weapon that comes with their car. Fun fact: the commentator in this game is actually voiced by Ash Ketchum's Japanese voice actress Rika Matsumoto.

Hehe I love how Namco still has updates for arcade gp dx but no pac-man platformer yet.

This is a great game and I'm happy I've played it!

8:43 Aged well in the recent past

i found a mario kart gp DX machine in my local arcade and loved it

For the mario kart arcade gp episodes of mario kart origins, you should of collabed with soshi the yoshi.

i remember almost playing this at an arcade once. didn't end up actually playing tho. big regrets.

Nice game just played it at a arcade today

I PLAYED TWO RACES AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!

I feel Namco should've done more with their Namco character roster in these Mario Kart Arcade games. Like they don't just have to resort to just Pacman characters in there. I know they included another character here, but here are other Namco characters that would be awesome to include here: Mappy, Dig Dug, Mr. Driller, Pooka from Dig Dug, One of the Meowky gang from Mappy, boss cat Goro from Mappy, Bravoman, Wonder Momo etc. So many great Namco characters they could've added in these Mario Kart Arcade Games. I would love to play as Mappy in a Mario Kart game.

I always play as Don-Chan. Guess I'm going to Dave and Buster's today.

None of these tracks will ever be seen in a future console DLC because these are all Namco creations likely optimized for the Ridge Racer engine.

I just played it and had a great time.

even tho the race countdown to start has the double dash sound effect

*beep beep* Here comes a guy that actually loves the GA Pac Man design. You guys argue in the comments I won't bother arguing anymore other than what I said

I played this game in the Rec Room in London Ontario and you are right the international version needs as much content as the Japanese version.

I kinda wish you showed the pacman cup and the dk cup, those are some of my favorite cups in the game

It was worth spending so much credits on this game at main event

My hometown arcade has mk arcade 2, but we went down to another city the other day and their namco funscape had DX. holy shit it’s so much better

I actually have played this game in a real arcade before but i didnt record it, however i did record me playing mario kart arcade gp 2 sooooo

We have this arcade cabinet in the hotel I'm staying at its pretty cool

*me reading the title* me: was my memories fake

I have played it, in fact, years before this video.

3 Fun facts: In 2021: Mario Kart Super Circuit will turn 20 Mario Kart 7 will turn 10 In 2022, the Mario Kart franchise will have its 30th anniversary

If you thought that Mametchi was the weirdest character in Mario Kart, Don-Chan is way, WAY crazier

King Boo is actually playable in this game if you unlock him during the Halloween events

WAIT I PLAYED THIS GAME IN MY LOCAL JOHNNYS REDS, ITS SO COOL

I think the best way to release this game would be an Arcade1up cabinet, they already got a steering wheel and pedals made, they also got games like Killer Instinct, so eventually they will have enough power to make it. It's up to Nintendo to release it.

I have played Mario Kart Arcade GP DX at Dave&Buster’s in Texas at baybrook mall,from I can tell it’s a good Arcade game and I hope there will be a switch port in the future.

My favorite memory of this game is arguing who gets to be waluigi with my brother and dad

They should just port this, add all the old tracks from gp 1 and 2 and call it mario kart 9

I swear if this game could of waited until 2019 when banapassoport came to America this game would of been so much better

We were wrong this whole time... Pink Gold Peach wasn't the worst Mario Kart Character, nor Peachette... It's Ghostly Adventures Pac-Man and forever will be.

I've played it and it is one of the best Mario games.

I've genuinely considered trying to track down and buy a cabinet for myself but even if I could find one I'd have no space for it. Yeah I could emulate it but 1. it's not the same and 2. Arcade emulation is also a headache.

whenever we find a place with this game me my mom and my sister would play it (Metal Mario Main btw, my mom plays toad and my sister plays don-chan)

im here in texas and i have one at our main event and it randomly picks your kart and items is that normal for all the us versions i hated that i want to pick my own cart THANK YOU!

My university has this game in the arcade it’s very popular there

What's wrong with the Pac-Man design? I personally like it... maybe just not how he sounds like Ash from the Pokémon anime.

You roasting my boy Pac-Man in this version of the game. That was so uncalled for😡😡😡😡😡😡😡. I like his design from ghostly adventures it’s more cooler than his old style counterpart.

Where’s the part where you talk about 3D World + Bowser’s Fury?

You roasted pac man ghostly adventures design terribly

I played it for the first time this year

What I don’t like about the tracks in the Arcade games in general is that they lack hazards, forks in the roads, and shortcuts.

I would play it, if it exist on my local mall arcade

Nice Justin Berti Inclusion here

True

I've played this! It was alright

Only game worth playing at Dave and Busters

I have a question How come we don’t have the Donkey Kong and the PAC-MAN cup for the teknoparrot version?, is there a way i can get that?

Holy shit, I think I was the ten thousandth viewer. Totally worth it for this video too.

I played it at chuck e cheese.
