Almost a year later, and the game is still on 1.7.1, and nothing’s been fixed...

I 100% agree with all these, great video

Stop receiving coin from boxes when you have 10 already

1. Getting coins in last place 2. Getting coins in last place 3. Getting coins in last place 4. Getting coins in last place 5. Getting coins in last place 6. Getting coins in last place 7. Getting coins in last place 8. Having to pay for online service to use MY OWN INTERNET

Most of these issues have to do with the fact, that the online mode is build on raw Peer-to-Peer connections instead of a game host or dedicated servers. All Switches participating on an online match calculate their own gameplay, and that can differ due to lag or information loss.

Some better matchmaking for starters. I'm sick of being dropped in lobbies full of 20-30k VR players when I select worldwide while also being put in lobbies full of 1-2k VR players whenever I select regional.

No ya got it all wrong... Number 1 should have been waluigi pinball

A boo just steals my super horn or mushroom in offline when I'm about to dodge a blue shell. It's like they can read my mind

These issues are the reasons why I don’t play online and I play Wiimmfi instead, which has less game breaking issues. Think about it, a fan made server that’s free is more playable than a professional server that’s paid.

1. Fix inside drift

I wish you could Switch your Items so you can use the more defensive ones

There is one problem that doesn't makes since but it does happen in online/wireless mode that needs to be fix, is that you can get hit by a back thrown shell and lose the single defensive item behind you that also needs to be fix

8. Lag Trailing 7. Lag Trailing 6. Lag Trailing 5. Lag Trailing 4. Lag Trailing 3. Lag Trailing 2. Lag Trailing 1. Nerf boomerang pls

all of this stuff happened to me at least once and I want it changed!!

In fact I’d remove the chance for a bob-bomb in first and make the super horn a 5% chance. I’d honestly take a super horn rather than a bomb especially for them blue shells.

Just one: Remove coin as item after the first 30 sec of a race

I was once about to be hit by a blue shell, but I used a coin at the same time I got hit and it the shell exploded but I didn't get hit(this was offline multiplayer)

They need to add different color toads

Mario kart has never been a balanced game, which is why it’s fun for most players. I agree with all of the item issues on online games, but all of the others are just part of the game and what makes it fun. The item issues you discussed that were offline, don’t make sense to me, I feel you don’t like helpful items. Edit: It’s a month later and I’ve been playing online a lot, I agree with all of your points now, including the item nerfs, as they are too overpowered sometimes, great vid.

I don't have 8 fixes, but here's what I got:1. Make the "catching up" items (mushrooms, stars, etc.) actually make you catch up.2. Make items show up based on what place you're in and how far away you are from other players. I shouldn't be getting a fire flower when I'm too far away to even get any use out of them.3. Get rid of coins in the entire game and just have the speed you would have for 10 coins the default speed (depending on your build of course). 4. Allow the ability to swap items around like you could in double dash.5. In battle mode, allow for braking. I hate how you can brake in races, but not in battle mode.

The last one happens to me way to often. Despite skill level it's always causes me to end up in back spots. I can't catch up to the front because it's way to frequent in one race. By the time it stops happening, all the other players are a mile down the track. I have a lot of ground to cover, and usually when I catch back up, the race is nearly over. Getting hit by reds and greens that where never insight in 7th place at least 5 times a race is never fun. I'll always generally get 5th to 7th place when that happens. If I'm lucky 2nd or 3rd. Again it doesn't happen all the time, just about 85% of the time. You need to plan your every move. That is impossible when 5-7 Shells that where never there, hit you one after the other in the middle of the field. Side note as well, I only started having this issue after purchasing Nintendo Switch online. Before, when it was free I had these issues, hardly ever.

Just release Mario kart 9. I am dying for this!

I have a fix for Renegade Roundup. The locks should require a hit from 3 items from any 3 people. It can take hits from projectiles and people with stars. (Now keep in mind your star nerf.) It can make the law’s job a lot easier.

I also agree to everything! Plus, another one: Stop getting coins in first place when you got 1,000 already

I wish that they would add a menu where you can save vehicle combos

1. Custom item list- it's currently either all items or only shells/bananas/shrooms? What a guff idea! Let us play without lightning bolts but with a bit more variety than a single item type. 2. Custom CPU list- this would solve my main issue with all those Mario & Peach clones (i.e. facing several versions of one character simultaneously). It'd also be nice to decide whether guests from other gaming universes show up or not- Link & Inklings really kill my immersion.

One of the things Nintendo has to change are the CPU-players, because they are way too easy even on the "hardest" difficulty setting. That makes the single player mode boring and unfun to play, because there is no challenge from the CPUs.

In Shine Thief: When a person, who has the shine, gets hit by a mushroom at anytime, either a fast or slow mushroom speed, should hand over the shine to the person that had the mushroom.

My top 8: 4 New cups 4 New characters (with petey piranha)

#1 should’ve been “Make Mario Kart 9”.

100% agreed but I want them to keep the Bob - omb in first place because I really love the bomb in first place.

They really need to nerf how many times the blue shell spawns because I won’t even be that far ahead and 5 of them will spawn in one race

One of my most annoying problems is that the law is so underpowered. They only have 2 really good items, being the shock and triple reds, and remember that those are EXTREMELY rare (I’ve only got the shock once, in my 500 hours of experience, on FRANTIC). Renegade items are so overpowered. They get boomerangs, stars, golden shrooms, super horns, and so much more. Maybe the law can get blue shells that will only appear with one person left and automatically targets them and blows them up and it cannot be dodged with a super horn and shroom.

Top 8 issues Nintendo needs to fix 1: getting coins in first place 2: getting coins in second place 3: getting coins in third place 4: getting coins in fourth place in 5: getting coins in 5th place 6: getting coins in 6th place 7: getting coins and 7th place 8: getting coins in any place

the most annoying thing I think they could have fixed is that when you are for example in first and you are decently near the second place player and a red shell is thrown towards the second place person you will get a red shell warning, but then not get hit because it was not targetting you, this can make you unnecessarily use your items.

I only have three issues with this game 3.No waluigi pinball 2.Existence of pink gold peach 1.WHERE TF IS DIDDY KONG?

Lakitu shouldn't take more than 3 seconds to carry me back to safety. If I get hit right before a glider section, (especially in Big Blue) Lakitu takes 8 years to carry me to the end while other people are zooming past me. It makes me want to throw my controller on the ground.

I just want balloon battle to be last man standing

Make the cpu smarter Get rid of pink gold peach Make 5 robbers and 7 cops Make a 1 item mode Add 50cc 100cc 200cc mirrior mode

I'd like to see the drop boost return honestly, it would make getting back to speed much easier when lakitu pulls you back on track, I would say the further you are from first the more you benefit from the boost, where as first, you don't get the boost. Least something along those lines to make it balanced

Agree, and since they seem to be fixing bugs and making balance changes as they release new DLC waves, there’s still probably hope! Another thing I would add is that items that are normally supposed to be impossible to receive in your secondary item slot if you’re already holding one, usually Coins, can still very occasionally break this rule if the game lags online. Hopefully this and the other technical issues with the online you brought up aren’t caused by super fundamental elements of the game’s netcode that’d be too hard to fix.

Another issue: Daisy's Kart ( and only Kart ) stunts are too basic, her bike stunts are fine, it's just the karts I'm worried about

I agree with this! I’m sure you mentioned it in the video but nothing irritates me more than getting hit by an item you were even close to! Someone could have a green shell and you wouldn’t even be directly behind them not would the throw it behind them to hit you and you would somehow STILL get his with it. That irks my soul because you aren’t even prepared for it

3:36 nice reused clip from the last video you made on what needs to be fixed (also funny how that video was a while ago and none of those points were implemented into the game. Basically, this game is doomed)

This is why we play Mario Kart Wii.

Ugghhh...When you're holding an item and pauses the race, and press continue you enable/disable smart steering

I know how to fix. It’s called “Mario Kart Wii”.

I really agree with #6, the second part to be specific. I won so manty races and felt bad, I have also lost so many games because of that

So I'm not the only one who noticed a super horn activating after a red shell hits me, and I wasn't online!

1. Add good inside drift 2. Add wheelies 3. Remove gliders 4. Add Funky Kong 5. Fix Lakitu 6. Make a CTGP 7. Implement item rain 8. Title it "Mario Kart Wii"

They need to fix the drift. I feel like i'm sliding whenever i drift in mk8 (wii u) when i'm not a part where i'm supposed to.

They need to revert the miniturbo stat to what is was in mk8u where a low stat charges faster but is shorter.

One that should also be fixed is the fake fall-offs. These were present in MKWii also, and what it does is makes a player look like they fell down, but teleport back to the track. It is minor but can trick the player that the guy on their screen fell but they didn't really.

My advice for Nintendo is to get rid of Pink Gold Peach in the next update.

Wait, bob ombs are super rare? Yesterday I played after some timr again and got like 4 bob ombs in a row. I thought they just updated the game so that first place also gets bob ombs.

As a self-proclaimed Mario Kart "vet" , I agree with most of these. Some of these however just require the player to simply get good...for instance, the skill it requires to both brake-drift during a sharp turn AND shoot a green shell at an angle behind you in order to knockout 2nd place might suck for those getting hit, but not for those of us who worked hard to get and maintain the lead.

Someone already said this but: getting coins as an item when you already have 10

1. No wild wing 2. No wild wing 3. No wild wing 4. No wild wing 5. No wild wing 6. No wild.wing 7. No wild wing 8. *JUST DON'T MAKE THE ONLINE PAID FOR ONCE*

Minor complaint, but the game also needs pop-out menus for vehicles and parts, and they need better organization. It's frustrating for any players who don't live and breathe Mario Kart and haven't memorized the order.

I think that there would be one thing that I would fix or add to your list 1. Blue shell The whole concept of Blue shells are to put the first place at a disadvantage but now they can hit unlucky players along the way which isn't fair in the slightest

I 100% agree with all of these Mario kart would b so much better and fun

I have a problem when a accelerate it doesn’t move properly but it just makes me start still the moves me backwards when I release a.

My top 8: 1: There is no Funky Kong. 2: Daisy is no longer overpowered. 3: There is no Funky Kong. 4: There are no Fake Item Boxes. 5: There is no Funky Kong. 6: Morton is in the best weight class. 7: Morton is in the best weight class. 8: Morton is in the best weight class.

This is the only issue I personally think needs to be fixed: Bobombs need to be closer to a player to walk towards it.

#1 Buff every wheel. Except the roller.

Issue #1, playing Mario kart 8 deluxe

1. Nintendo should fix the Mirror Mode because is 150cc it may be 50cc or 100cc 2. And he too needs to fix tho the banana peels will ever need to throw in your back

The song you put on is a starting of a smuggles on some videos and one part was from the smuggles

I agree with your choices, the online needs to be fixed big time. 8 changes I would make to the game are... 8. Buff the Piranha Plant in some way or at least reduce the time you have with it. 7. Make the fire flower only have 3 fireballs out at a time. 6. You can only have a minimum of 3 red shells in second (or any other placing) just so you don't get bombarded with a million red shells when you have a just a small lead. 5. Give the blue shell more power to make up for less red shells. 4. Have an option to choose what CPU characters you want in offline versus race. 3. Have an option to stack all the character that have a clone version just so the roster can look much better and not have it look like the roster is being taken up by all the additional Marios, Peaches, Bowsers, ect. 2. More DLC! I would still like more characters added and I'm sure adding more isn't as hard as making a character for a fighting game. Karts, bikes, wheels, tracks and battle arenas would be a huge bonus. 1. Fix online's problems. The ones listed in this video. Online is a mess and I hope they fix it.

Backward thrown shells are straight up missiles coming at ya at sonic speed

Add wheelies back as either a purely visual thing or give karts an equivalent to its wii version. They were just cool. Also fix inside drift.

I really don't enjoy playing this game online that much. It just feels more luck-based than in other games. The lag is another serious concern. Nintendo doesn't seem to care about this game anymore, which is sad. This update was nothing for most people.

Love your vids and hey from Croatia 😍

1-8: Getting coins 99.9999999999999999% of the time in first

The fact with some of these are things with serverside and clientside and that is pretty hard to make it exactly the same for both. It is doable but it may take up too much space.

Issue 9: It's not like Smash where Piranha Plant is playable and Waluigi is an item.

Okay, i have a question. Why is it that you can get bombs in first but not mushrooms?

I have had an instance where I threw a red shell to first and it went right up to him and just trailed behind him without hitting. And it never connected! It was just right behind him, just waiting to connect but because of the lag that never happened and he unfairly got 1st place.

Yesterday I got 2 bombs in first place in a row. What are the odds of that?

They should add another difficulty for the cpu

1. Give me 1 million dollars for no apparent reason

They would also fix that NPC's or bots in Grand Prix or Vs Race are always obssessed at throwing red shells and green shells backwards at us and they dont even use shells as a defense

Nintendo needs to watch this video ASAP, by the way here's my few issues: 1. Bullet Bill's with zero warning: It's bad enough to get hit by a bullet bill but often they will come out of nowhere beaming towards you with out a warning, it shouldn't have to be weather the game decides to warn you of an incoming bullet bill it's kind of annoying to be honest. 2.Bullet Bill's dropping you off at a sharp turn: Bullet Bill's will often leave you at a sharp turn making the item rather useless, they should make it to where Bullet Bill's drop you off at a straight or narrow path. I can also relate to the whole fake item hit, Far too often I will land a hit on an opponent, usually with a visual cue that it landed, like my character cheering, only for the player to continue on like nothing happened and, in battle mode, no points being given to me. In races I will see coins fly out of a character alongside my cheer, but the driver will continue ahead and win a race that should be secured for me, yet it seems like everything always hits me with no issues. I don’t know what my hits look like on their end, but I doubt they have any idea that I’m even attacking them.

For me #7 is most important, but all are fair points. Also they should make inside drift Like it was in Wii

I completely agree with all of these. Unfortunately, I doubt Nintendo will actually do anything about this. The game has been out for almost 2 years, they released one patch that fixed a couple things but that was early on, ever since then there has been no word on trying to fix any of this. The only way I see this stuff getting patched is if DLC is coming to the game, and even then I would be doubtful. We can only hope that MK9 will have resolved these issues.

About the Renegade Roundup game meode, Idk about online, but for local co-op just make each match 5 min instead of 3. It doesn’t fix the problem but it helps a little bit.

1:26 the first “failed and glitched” bam shock dodge

MK8DX needs to bring back the Gamepad screen from Wii U MK8. Perhaps have that on your Phone using the NSO app. Doing this would make Deluxe much less stressful to play by knowing any items you were and or could get hit by. Also can 1st place have a legit chance at defending the top spot again?!? Constantly dropping Bob-ombs back just doesn't cut it for me that's not how I want to go about things. Maybe have a 1-2% chance of Triple Bananas pretty please. Ugh you said it best when you mentioned this game being unpolished at times.

8 reasons why I stopped playing this game months ago**

Hello, I'm korean and watching your mario kart 8 Deluxe ~! You are good player! (I want to play mario kart 8 Deluxe lol)

The first one happens to me every time I play with my brother or sister. I’m literally never touching the item

I remember I was playing online mode and I got hit by 3 invisible bananas in a single lap

How hard people bump you in 200cc you could get hit by a red shell then when they drive by they bump you and you go flying

They should make less renegades and more cops for example a 6 to 4 or 7 to 3

I love how many blue and red shells come after you in first. It’s every 10 seconds

You should actually submit this to Nintendo. #1 and #3 are absolutely unacceptable in honesty. The others feel a bit more minor to me but you make fair points on all of them. It feels like they're pretty ignorant about the balance of this game.

Oh god finally I know what hits me i never rewatched the games but it happend so many times to me where I was like : What the heck hit me !?!? Now I know the shell they throw forward spawned behind them, hit me and caused me the match.

Dragged item hit detection is complete rubbish. Be on the other side of the road because I've been forced to take a corner wide, and still get smacked by the dragged item despite my screen showing him hugging the apex. So damn infuriating when that happens -_-

I freaking knew it!! I'm sitting here wondering what hit me when there's no one around me and Nintendo still ain't fix it!

I swear that all online random rooms are worse but personal rooms seem to be better, I have gotten a lot more of these problems after they added having to pay for online.
