Mario Kart 8's completely normal Time Trial leaderboards

i like how the ones that cheated to be really fast just crash into every wall imaginable

I feel like the most embarrassing ones are the ones that don’t use any cheats except modifying the end time, because then they just end up putting their incredibly mediocre driving at the top of the leaderboard for everyone to look at. Like I’d at least put on some silly cheats so I look funny, they’re just playing the game normally, and not very well at that.

Imagine how crazy these times would be if they took decent lines

I remember going through a whole race and crossing the finish line before the ghost, but still lost 😭

15:30 The infinite trick effect trail is super interesting. Also its pretty funny how they drive a 40 second lap, the lap time counts as like .013 seconds, and then the race ends and their time is like .003 seconds.

I once accidentally played with modded tracks in Mario Kart 8 online and the game just let me play. The other racers went through walls cuz they’re on the real track and it let me finish the race. So yeah 0 anti cheat

when you see the ghost fliping around, going against walls etc. It means that the players may have played (with cheats or not) on a custom tracks. That ghost data have been uploaded and then when replaying, the ghost do the same inputs as the player, but on the real tracks.

6:11 This is actually very easy to explain. Playing as Wario always garuntees success.

Theres something similar in Pokemon Sun/Moon & Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon where people are offering impossible Pokemon for other impossible Pokemon. One such example is a Shiny Solgaleo for a female Magnemite

I was hoping people would just launch themselves across the map to actually take that time instead of just editing the timer

“These guys just decided to make sure that the only ghosts you can download are the ones who play worse than you.” Best quote in video.

What is so weird is that this would almost surely be incredibly trivial to check to at least remove the most egregious cheaters: There can't be more input data in time that the course took to complete, plus a bit of extra for before and after the track. That would probably make cheating a lot less appealing.

See, when you travel close to the speed of light, everything slows down. Or something like that.

When I was little Mario Kart Wii was the same, suspect times although no item spam, they would crash into the wall and get times of 00:00.014 or whatever. I used to think that if I got the timer past 99:99.999 it would loop and I would be able to get a top 10 record.

The really funny thing about all of these hacked times is that the people doing them are SO BAD at the game. It’s actually painful to watch them play.

16:15 probably the particle effect for the start of bullet bill transformation (it has a shockwave effect when used, the light engine is bugging out the colors cause it tries to aply the filter on top of itself) also probably on a turbo controller so they just held the button and got the starting frames of it over and over again, they even realease the button on that section cause it soflocks them from going trough the glider edit: the time stamp clearly shows the character standing still and having this effect so I don't know what are y'all talking about

Yes deluxe has no firehop, but I find the mini turbo mechanics more fun in deluxe

This is what happens when you shift into second gear before the race even starts

Seeing those EC2 and USB clan tags brings back memories. Those clans were so full of hackers that legit members lamented the fact that people immediately assumed they were hackers simply for wearing their clan tags.
