I spent an unbelievable amount of time researching, recording, scripting, and editing this video, so it would mean a lot to me if you subscribed :)

    I love how, despite the track looking like it would be an immediate write off as impossible, Coconut Mall is somehow possible backwards in every game it appears in.
  • @JatendoYoshi
    Hearing your voice from a 13 year old to now sounding like a 18 year old is insane. The amount of effort you put in your videos are incredible, keep up the good work ❤

    0:24 Oh. My. God. This might not seem big but this guy got the model, edited the materials or replaced the water and then rendered an animation. I LOVE reflections!!!!
  • @Eevay_
    crazy how lakitu, the one that tries to stop you, is the reason some of these are possible
  • @MrCheese270
    1:37 How on Earth did you discover that bonking into a random corner would disable Lakitu?! How long did it take to discover that?! What kind of witchcraft did you use!? You are a madman, and I respect the hell out of you.
  • @LegoEngineer003
    When you got to the point of saying “We need to understand how Lakitu works”, I was expecting the SM64 File Select music to start playing

    You don’t know how dissatisfied I was when I found out mirror mode just meant the tracks were flipped instead of being backwards. I hope in the next Mario kart we finally get that, I’ve always wanted to be able to play them backwards, and with all the stuff the last 2 games have added (glider, underwater, zero g), it’s 100% possible for them to make courses make sense backwards. Cool to know how many are possible without any changes tho
  • @JigsawFlex
    Interesting video! Wasn't expecting that many tracks to be possible backwards!
  • @jaidenester8714
    I think it’s really cool how different all the tracks look and play backwards, and I think it’d be cool if Nintendo added a way to play them backwards officially
  • @SonicKid7
    The 3D visuals for Royal Raceway and Animal Crossing blew my mind. As is apparently typical, the editing just gets better and better and better
  • @Bayesic
    It’s honestly amazing how much of this you were able to figure out on your own before even knowing the backwards server existed haha a lot of these strategies are not at all obvious so big props to you
  • @SpicyInk
    Nathaniel Bandy tried this back when the game released and I've been wanting to see someone try it with the dlc ones. I finally get to see that!
  • @conkerfrog2005
    Dude, the amount of work you put into these videos blows me away, i hope you keep up the good work 😁
  • @porpercrater
    you did the courses backwards, but try them DRIVING backwards
  • It’s honestly really fascinating and cool to see how many people are dedicated to doing this, and the creative solutions everyone comes up with to accomplish them! The Squeaky Clean Sprint pipe jump is super cool. Gg!
  • @bugtussle5720
    Awesome video! You should retry the ones you barely couldn't do with a higher/max speed combo. Might just be enough to get you that extra distance Shy guy is based though
  • @nouche
    All of them, in Tour. That was one of the few brilliant ideas that game had, and I hope they keep it for the next installment. I’d honestly find it way more appealing than, say, mirror mode.
