Getting a super horn is no skill at all but if you want to go for skill save a mushroom so you can dodge a blue shell at the right moment. Also the item disabution is a little different for example sometimes you get a bomb in 1st place which I call it broken. Blue Falcon used to be overused but now the Splat Buggy + Slim + Cloud Glider is the best combo to use for online, it depends. Racing with staff ghosts is very simple to do but if you want to race with competitive ghost you have know your line strats and know how to control your stick controls in a very specific way. There's some sections that requires to use umt (pink turbo) so don't rely on that pink turbo because you'll just waste time if you go out of line. Nintendo didn't mention for no reason that the karts and characters stats has been changed so don't think about using a outdated combo which is blue falcon + slick + gold glider. Last you need to know how to use your items correctly so don't spam your items immidietly like a psycho or else you won't get first. This is how you dominate deluxe. Other deluxe tips videos like yours only gives very simple tutorials except if someone gives expert shortcuts tutorials or how to soft drift. Like this comment so noobs can see how to play deluxe well.

All pretty obvious…
This is a terrible list that will make you mediocre at best. Holding a when 2 is fading will give you a non competitive start boost. Blue shell tracks the leader at the time of deploying. If you drop back to second while its in flight it will still hit you, best option is to catch second place in the blast too. The nintendo ghosts arent that good, they will occasionally use a smart shortcut, but often times there are better choices. Also, ai is a dick to first place, even if you get a soundbox 90% of the time a ghost will take it away before the blue shell comes anyway.
0:10 That "Leeeets-a-go!" was a little on the croaky side, haha!
Lame… only noobs still have not learned this stuff
so…. basically the same "tricks" since super mario kart from snes.. (except for the blue shell thing)
I want Mario Kart 8 Deluxe so bad!
I already know all these tips! But thanks for reminding me!
You guys really are running out of ideas…..
Thank you for the tips 😉
Suggestion for a video: top 10 anime foreheads. Top spots: Saikawa (Kobayashi) and Ritsu (K-on). (and Vegeta maybe)
Ehi, I just thought it was hilarious xD
Oo canada!
I clicked this for no good reason lol but nice to see that the game looks beautiful.
Probably the best MARIO game ever
uh…these are common knowledge. here are others that are more helpful
1. If you have a shroom in first and a blue shell is coming, you can dodge the blast. the shell circles around your car twice, aims down and then attacks. When it aims down and is about to attack, use the shroom and you could dodge the blast. Timing is key though so it may take a couple times to perfect it.
2. Yes. hitting the gas when the 2 fades does help but you can hit gas when the 2 fully fades in. dont try to anticipate it though cause you can still spin out. this will give you a slightly larger boost.
3. The two new features have both pros and cons.
Auto Accel, Pro: You don't have to hold the button down, good for people like me that end up cramping their hands by holding buttons down too hard. and the only time you have to worry about it is during the beginning boost. Cons: You can not fully break or reverse your car. sometimes making it hard to get back on the track.
Smart Steering: Pro: You will not fall off the track as much. You have to really try to fall off. Not bad for 200CC. Cons: You can not get the Purple Sparks while using this mode and certain shortcuts can't be accessed. Also, When holding an item and pausing the game, you need to toggle steering then untoggle it when unpausing to keep holding the item
4. When drifting, you can press the break while still maintaining a drift. This is more refined in Deluxe than in the Wii U version. you can do it in the Wii u version but just barely
5. There are certain short cuts that can be down shroomless in 200 cc. like the begining of Yoshi Circuit and the second section of Big Blue. These work for all Karts and some motor cycles. Inward drifting cycles such as Links bike will have a hard time doing these cuts.
Welp, thats all i got for now. Hope this helps.
I feel weird seeing top 5 from this channel when they usually do top 10
Tip #1: Git gud.
I HATE THIS NEW MUSIC!! CHANGE IT BACK TO NORMAL
sadly they're not selling anymore Nintendo Switch's 🙁
please Link this video to Mini Ladd and Jiggly XD

Also, who the flying fuck forgets to drift in Mario Kart?!
Someone send this to minilad immediately!!!!!!!! Plz he needs it
I cant believe you can actually break the blue shell!!!

So is this like a tutorial for noobs?
I feel like these were the most basic tips and I feel like everybody already knew them
I seriously thought that it would be pro tips, but I already knew all of them before watching this video, so "Dominate" might not be the right word to choose for the title. "Excel" might be a better word in my opinion.
there's a Nintendo Canada?
i wish they added more characters in the game. like really great new characters like kirby,pikatchu. instead of the trash koopa brothers and baby versions of the same characters
Link and his whole setup is horseshit. The Kart's Meta Knight
tomoro i am going to have a nintendo swich
This is more like tips for just Mario kart 8

3:31 Ok that was actually funny
NOGLA!!!??? BRIAN!!!???? U WATCHING THIS TO WIN EVERY GAME ??? (lol)
what about brake drifting so you can brake but keep your drift boost still?
To add to this…
Turn off driving assist when looking at stats (left bumper). This will let you take shortcuts way better. If you have assist on a lot of the times it will turn you away from the shortcut.
Dodging a blue shell can also happen with a mushroom. It's hard, but right when the blue shells pulls back and shows you its belly, meaning it's a split second from attacking, boost and you might make it outside of the blast radius.
You can't achieve the 3rd tier boost, pink, unless assist is turned off. It's on the stats screen.
GO TELL DASHIE, NOW!!!
No.
Well, if my sister wants to win against me at MK Wii, she can try to actually to use manual, instead of automatic.
you've always been able to dodge a blue shell with a mushroom all you do is boost just before it hits you
What if you get 3 blue shells after you followed by a stampede of red shells accompanied by a lightning bolt which makes you slip and slide by a banana peel
