00:00What's Crackalackin' Gaming Nation? You know this B, I'm JohnTheGamer64, coming at you with a new episode of New Games Extravaganza, Episode 8 to be precise.
00:15So today I'll be checking out another Nintendo 64 ROM hack. This is Mario Kart 64 Amped Up.
00:22And this is one I've been really wanting to play, aside from Banjo-Kazooie Nostalgia 64, which I'm still working on.
00:30But this one I really had to have. So I got this from AliExpress for like $18. Not too bad.
00:38So this is version 2.94. So funny thing is when I actually made this purchase, not but four days later, on YouTube they announced version 3.0.
00:50So I'm like, oh, okay. Buy me for the price, it's not really a big deal. I just really wanted to play, like, whole new tracks and whatnot.
00:59So. So I might not have, like, some of the same features as 3, obviously. But hey, at least I'm getting to play this ROM hack now.
01:09So. Pretty excited, man. So let's check it out.
01:15Okay. Okay. So let's check out the options here. So we got here.
01:20Ooh, the widescreen option, eh? Okay.
01:25Widescreen. Speedrun.
01:28Turn that off. Where that is.
01:33Turn that off too. Audio mode international. Not sure what that is, but okay.
01:39L-O-D quality. Don't know. Advanced Vigils. Modern.
01:45Tiausing enabled. Console.
01:52Okay. We'll mess with any other options.
01:56Okay. So, let's start her off.
01:58Start her off.
02:03Huh. New unlocks.
02:08Okay.
02:10Speedrun mode, which I turned off.
02:13Shell pathing. Where that is. See.
02:15Select how red shells will follow the path.
02:19Okay.
02:20Modern.
02:21Classic.
02:22Was I already at modern?
02:23Forget it.
02:24Oh, CPU item table.
02:25Oh, so I'm guessing you can select the items you want.
02:30Okay. Item switch.
02:35Okay.
02:36Okay.
02:37Cool new features.
02:38See page 2.
02:39Cam collisions.
02:40See if the player's camera should attempt to collide with the walls.
02:42Okay.
02:43Cool new features.
02:44See page 2.
02:45Cam collisions.
02:46See if the player's camera should attempt to collide with the walls.
02:51Advance to the next group.
02:52Pre-race regardless of rank.
02:55Huh. Interesting.
02:57Okay.
02:58So, even if you're not in the top 4.
03:00Well, that's interesting.
03:01Okay.
03:07Okay.
03:08Not gonna mess with anything else.
03:10So, let's jump right into the game.
03:13Or check out the options.
03:14Oh.
03:15That's just the standard options that are in the main game.
03:17Okay.
03:18Anyways.
03:19So, let's see what we got here.
03:21Ooh.
03:22Time shadow extras.
03:23Lockables.
03:24Additional settings that are locked.
03:25Behind certain conditions.

03:40Oh.
03:41Oh.
03:42What the heck.
03:43Haha.
03:44Interesting.
03:45It's like a filter of sorts.
03:48Alright.
03:49Let's see.
03:50Interesting.
03:51Okay.
03:52We're not gonna mess with any of that right now.
03:55So, some game settings.
03:56Okay.
03:57Stuff already saved.
03:58Okay.
03:59Still 100.
04:00Why not?
04:01Ooh.
04:02Okay.
04:03We got some new modes here.
04:04Very nice.
04:05Okay.
04:06So, we got default gameplay.
04:07We got N64 coins.
04:08Collect 8 N64 coins on the course for a Starman.
04:09Increase max speed for each coin.
04:10Balloon race.
04:11Pop your opponent's balloon.
04:12Steal them with the mushroom.
04:13Do not lose all your own balloons.
04:14Elimination.
04:15Last race here to advance a lap.
04:16Will be removed from the mushroom.
04:17Okay.
04:18Okay.
04:19Okay.
04:20Okay.
04:21Okay.
04:22Okay.
04:23Okay.
04:24Okay.
04:25Okay.
04:26Okay.
04:27Okay.
04:28Okay.
04:29Okay.
04:30Okay.
04:31Okay.
04:32Okay.
04:33Okay.
04:34Okay.
04:35Okay.
04:36Okay.
04:37Okay.
04:38So, that's just like Burnout 3.
04:39The little elimination mode.
04:40Okay.
04:41Okay.
04:42Okay.
04:43Alright.
04:44We'll start with the default for now.
04:46Oh.
04:47Okay.
04:48So, they just added a random button.
04:53No new characters I see.
04:55That's fine.
04:56Let's go with DJ Donkey Kong.
05:00Ooh.
05:01Okay.
05:02Now we got some new tracks here.
05:07Very nice.
05:08Okay.
05:09So, we got the Ancient Lake from DJ Kong Racing.
05:14What's that?
05:15GameCube.
05:16GCN.
05:17So, I'm guessing that's GameCube.
05:18Mario Circuit from Double Dash.
05:21Samurai Beach.
05:22Calabari Desert.
05:23Oh.
05:24Oh yeah.
05:25It's one of the other reasons I wanted this.
05:28For the Sonic Adventure 2 Battle Route 64 stage.
05:34Mario 64.
05:35Green Greens.
05:37Let's see.
05:38Super Mario Eraser.
05:39See, that's a totally original one you made right there.
05:41Super Mario World.
05:42Style of the track.
05:43Mario Stadium.
05:44Kiki Kakai Shrine.
05:45I think that one's from the Switch one.
05:46The Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
05:47Alt Secret Slide from 64?
05:48Okay.
05:49Hazy Maze Cave.
05:50Alright.
05:51Oh, the Glover.
05:52The One Glover track.
05:53That is so cool.
05:54Grand Cup.
05:55Ooh, so Grand Cup.
05:56I guess you play every cup.
05:57That is...
05:58Yeah, that's awesome.
05:59That's hardcore, man.
06:00Okay.
06:01So you can do a random cup or...
06:03Okay.
06:04Alright, so I guess we'll try out the first cup here.
06:05Alright, so I guess we'll try out the first cup here.
06:28All right, so I guess we'll try out the first cup here.
06:37All right, Ancient Light from Liddy Kong Racing.
06:43You put it.
06:46So I wonder if this version has the same drifting mechanic from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
06:54Oh, okay, okay, I saw that blue spark there.
07:00Oh crap!
07:02Oh, my damn dinosaur.
07:04Outta here, outta here.
07:10Ooh, okay.
07:12I notice the weapons are in full 3D here, like that.
07:20Ooh, it's got a little confirmation.
07:24Uh, that you hit your enemy.
07:27That's cool.
07:28So if you lay like a banana peel behind you, you know, you hit him.
07:37Oh, new item boxes.
07:39Whoa, crap.
07:40Woohoo!
07:41All right, slide those up, baby.
07:42All right.
07:43Let's see if I can...
07:44Actually, all right, there we go.
07:45Yep.
07:46Okay, so it just shows the, like, the blue spark, but I don't know if we can actually, like, go up another level, just like in Mario Kart 2, but I don't know if we can actually go up another level.
07:53Just like in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, but I guess we'll see.
07:54Guess we'll see.
07:55Guess we'll see.
07:56Guess we'll see.
07:57Guess we'll see.
07:59Okay.
08:00Check it out.
08:01Got a half sand, right?
08:02Oh, it's pretty good.
08:03It's pretty good.
08:04Hell right.
08:05Yeah, I'll see.
08:06Let's see if I can... actually.
08:07All right, there we go.
08:08Yep.
08:09Okay, so it just shows the, like, the blue spark, but I don't know if we can actually, like, go up another level just like in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
08:18I guess we'll see. I guess we'll see.
08:28Hm. All original music, I love it.
08:36I love how all the weapons are in full 3D here. That's freaking neat.
08:42A little new item box too.
08:48Third place. Yay.
09:03Still blocking me out of the way. Love it.
09:09Oh crap!
09:11Uh.
09:16So yeah, I guess in version 3, like, the racers are actually in full 3D.
09:21And not just the weapons, and as you can see here, some of the road hazards, like the piranha plant, that are in full 3D.
09:27Yeah, I'm digging these new tracks for sure.
09:33But you can't go wrong with Diddy Kong racing tracks.
09:36Even though that was just the one.
09:39Oh crap!
09:40Yeah, 3D models look frickin' good in this, man.
09:53Geez.
09:54Nope.
09:55Fuck.
09:56Damn it.
09:57Stupid Goomans.
09:58They almost have, like, that 3D, like, DS quality that you would see in, like, you know, the Mario Kart 7, no.
10:06I guess 3DS, but, uh.
10:07I'm talking about, like, the OG Mario Kart DS.
10:08Oh, c'mon.
10:09Get outta here with that.
10:10Get outta here with that, man.
10:11Come on.
10:12Come on.
10:13What?
10:14Oh my god.
10:15I'm getting murdered by the stupid Chain Chomp.
10:16Got a lot of reach on that one.
10:17Ha, ha, ha.
10:18Come on, bruh.
10:19Ooh.
10:20Oh.
10:21Tha, th.
10:22Tha, th.
10:23Tha, th.
10:24Tha, th.
10:25Tha.
10:26Tha, th.
10:27Tha, th.
10:28Tha, th.
10:29Tha.
10:30Tha, th.

10:39Tha.
10:40Tha.
10:41Tha.
10:42Tha.
10:43Tha, th.
10:44Tha.
10:45like the new item icons here. Yeah, got your ass.
10:53Oh, crap. One second. Alright, alright. Okay, we're gonna change up the modes here.
11:07But I saw the little blue spark, so... Yeah, I mean, it's not like you can really figure
11:15out how to do it, because there's no manual or anything, but I have to see if that's only
11:22exclusive to the later versions of this game. So, yeah.
11:31Enjoyed this so far, man. Love these new tracks. Alright, hold on, foo. Hold on, foo.
11:41Alright, quiet.
11:50A little Mario theme playing on the game select screen. It's very nice.
12:00Okay, so we did the default. So let's try the N64 coins. So it says coins and quartz for
12:07star man and increase max speed for each coin. So... Alright, let's try that out.
12:18Let's go with Yoshi.
12:21I guess we'll, yeah, try out the Route 64 from Sonic Adventure 2. Hell yeah. Let's do's it, man.
12:42Round 64.
12:49Out of the way, sucka.
12:51Alright, what are these bloody coins?
12:56Oh, I missed one! Crap.
13:01Alright, alright.
13:02Is there a coin somewhere?
13:03No item boxes.
13:04That works.
13:08You guys are so dumb!
13:12Alright, come on.
13:13Are the coins?
13:16Don't tell me the one I missed.
13:17Okay, there was another one right there.
13:19Crap.
13:20I was gonna say, it's like, oh, the first one I missed is probably the start of the mode
13:25or something.
13:30Aw.
13:32They should have a mod where you can actually destroy the NPC vehicles.
13:35But that would have been awesome.
13:39Alright, there we go.
13:41No coin!
13:42Damn it.
13:43I couldn't get one coin.
13:44What's up?
13:47I'm enjoying the hell out of this track though, man.
13:50You Sonic fail.
13:51Aw.
13:52Crap.
13:53Missed it!
13:54Going Yoshi.
13:56Can't give these coins for nothing.
14:03Oh, there we go.
14:04We got one.
14:05Haha.
14:06Sweet.
14:07Boom.
14:08Little speed boost.
14:09I love that.
14:10Just like in Song Adventure 2.
14:11Ah, crap.
14:12Missed it!
14:13Look how the coins are purple.
14:14Haha.
14:15Pretty interesting color.
14:16Purple.
14:17Purple.
14:18Oh.
14:19Oh.
14:20Oh.
14:21Oh.
14:22Oh.
14:23Oh.
14:24Oh.
14:25Oh.
14:26Oh.
14:27Oh.
14:28Oh.
14:30Oh.
14:31Oh.
14:32Oh.
14:33Oh.
14:34Oh.
14:35Oh.
14:36Oh.
14:37Oh.
14:38Oh.
14:39Oh.
14:40Oh.
14:41Oh.
14:42Oh.
14:43Oh.
14:44Oh.
14:45Oh.
14:46Oh.
14:47Oh.
14:48Oh.
14:49Oh.
14:50Oh.
14:51Oh.
14:52Yeah.
14:53Can't miss this one.
14:54Really?
14:55Still missed it.
14:56Yep.
14:57So it's just no different than just like getting coins from like the older versions of Mario Kart
15:03here.
15:04This makes you go faster.
15:06Okay.
15:07Interesting.
15:08I gotta say this is one of my favorite tracks so far.
15:21And of course the one from NiddyCon Racing.
15:22Love it.
15:23Yep.
15:24Three coins baby.
15:26I got three coins.
15:28I got three coins baby.
15:38Yep, three coins, baby!
15:58So, if someone can let me know if this version actually has the little drifting mechanics, let me know.
16:06There we go.
16:12I wonder if you can save these coins up for anything.
16:16Or if it's just make you go fast.
16:18Just like in the other games.
16:22Oh hell yeah, though. I love this track so much.
16:32Alright.
16:36Okay, let's try another mode.
16:48I'm trying to play all the tracks here.
16:52Okay, so I just need four coins.
17:04Okay, ballooneries. Pop your opponent's balloons or steal them with a mushroom. Do not lose all your balloons.
17:16Let's go with Mario.
17:26Let's go!
17:28Select the map!
17:30Select the map!
17:32Let's go!
17:34Ooh.
17:35Hazy Mays looks fun.
17:36Ooh, and that clever level. Can't wait to play that one.
17:42Get ready!
17:54Aw, snaps.
17:56Oh crap!
17:57Oh, that was stupid!
17:58Oh, don't tell me I'll lose one after that.
18:00Yep.
18:01Pretty sure I'll lose one, right?
18:07I'm pretty sure I lost one.
18:08Aw, crap!
18:09No!
18:10Freaking boulders.
18:11Yeah.
18:14Oh crap!
18:15I would definitely love this track so far.
18:19But there's Nessie!
18:21Wait!
18:23Wait, wait a minute!
18:25Can I just jump off something and then get a speed boost?
18:29No effin' wait!
18:30Yeah!
18:31Ha ha ha!
18:32I wanna go!
18:33Alright, hold on.
18:34Oop!
18:35Shurry up!
18:36Whee!
18:38Ha!
18:39Ma-ma-ma-me-ee!
18:41Ah, a little shortcut, huh?
18:42Nice!
18:43Oh crap!
18:44Oh crap!
18:45I gotta go!
18:46Yeah!
18:47I gotta go!
18:48Oh crap!
18:49Oh crap!
18:50Oh crap!
18:51Oh crap!
18:52Oh crap!
18:54That's all crap!
18:55Oh crap!
18:56Oh crap!
18:57Oh crap!
18:58Oh crap!
18:59Ah, nice.
19:01Oh crap!
19:03Some creepy-ass little spiders.
19:09Oh, what the heck?
19:14Oh no!
19:15Aw, dammit.
19:17Oh, okay, so this is like F-Zero.
19:21Like F-Zero X, where you turn into a bomb.
19:24And you can just kill the remaining opponents.
19:30Okay, okay.
19:32Still got third place, I guess.
19:38So I guess in multiplayer mode, then you can kill each other.
19:41Interesting.
19:54Okay, so we need to find somewhere to jump off of
19:57to see if that jumping speed boost mechanic is confirmed.
20:07Ah crap!
20:10Whee!
20:11Whee!
20:19Crap!
20:23Oh, Twisten turns it this way.
20:30Whee!
20:31Oh, see?
20:32Yeah, there was like a stunt mechanic.
20:34Just like in the later games.
20:36No freaking way.
20:41Whee!
20:44Dude, that is great.
20:45So they added stunt boost in this one.
20:47That is amazing.
20:48Hell, yeah.
20:50Yeah.
20:55Now if I can just learn the freaking drifting boost, that'd be great.
21:08See?
21:09You see it there!
21:12Aw, crap.
21:13It's kinda cool how they, uh, basically mixed the balloon battle with the standard, uh, race- racing.
21:26I'd say it was a good culmination of both.
21:32And stunts, baby!
21:34Ah, man.
21:36Love this.
21:40So, this...
21:42This actually isn't my first Mario Kart 4 ROM pack.
21:46Cause I think the first one I played was the, uh, Dragon Ball...
21:50Dragon Ball Z Kart.
21:53With, uh, Dragon Ball Z characters.
22:00Yeah, that one was decent.
22:01It was just a basic reskin, but...
22:03This one just, like...
22:05Man.
22:06It's like a whole new game, it seems like.
22:08Cause you got all these new tracks, all these new mechanics.
22:12You know, just like Smash Remix.
22:13You know, they added all those new levels.
22:16New characters, and...
22:17It's like a whole new game.
22:18Like, holy moly.
22:19Like, holy moly.
22:23A little music kind of stuff for a second here.
22:25Strange.
22:30But hell yeah, man!
22:31Oh, the stunt mechanic.
22:32The stunt drifting.
22:33Or no, uh...
22:34The stunt boosts.
22:36I'm glad they added it.
22:37Like, love it.
22:39Love it.
22:43Now if I can just learn the drift properly.
22:46The drift boosts.
22:49Alright, hold on.
22:53Great new mode though, by the way.
22:55So...
23:04Okay, so let's check out...
23:06Mario Grease.
23:07Mario Grease.
23:08Mario Grease.
23:09Mario Grease.
23:10Mario Grease.
23:11Mario Grease.
23:12Ah, Elimination.
23:13That's gonna be a fun one right there.
23:14Let's do it, man.
23:21Let's see who should go in.
23:23I'm gonna give Bowser a try.
23:25Give that dinosaur some love.
23:27Let's see.
23:28Mario Stadium.
23:29Too bad you can't do like a single race thing.
23:30Wait, could you?
23:31Gotta check that.
23:32I was pretty sure that was in the original game where you can do like a single race.
23:34Alright, I just wanna see if I can pick one stage here.
23:35Alright, I just wanna see if I can pick just one stage here.
23:37Alright, I just wanna see if I can pick one stage here.
23:38race thing. Wait, could you? Gotta check that. I was pretty sure that was in the original
23:45game where you can do like a single race. Alright, I just want to see if I can pick
24:01this one. One stage here. Okay, so this is the only one you can pick out. Okay, okay. Good to know.
24:25Okay, I don't even remember the other boats. I mean it was elimination that was the last
24:29one, but I guess I'd need to be in an actual race for that one, so. Alright, let's just
24:40go to GP. Okay, elimination was the last one here. Okay. But yeah, it's like kind of weird
24:56how like, with a time trial, like you can select one course, but if you're doing a cup, you're
25:03like, I just want to do a single race, but not necessarily want to do a time trial, but whatever.
25:09It's neither here nor there, so. Yeah. Let's just do Wario Stadium. Oh, cool. We can do mirror
25:17too. Don't know if I'm going to lock that. Hail you. Wow, this looks like the best version
25:29of Wario Stadium here. Ooh. Very retro. There we go. Speed boost.
25:44Yeah. And stunts in. Ha, ha, ha. Never thought I'd see the day we're going to be seeing stunts
25:58in Mario Kart 64. Hot crap. Hot crap. Go, go. Yeah, boy.
26:11Yeah, boy. Woo. Awesome track indeed. Alright, elimination. So, someone got eliminated. Woo, stunting.
26:39So, yeah. So cool. So, yeah. Or the modder, whoever made this mod, like, deserves a race.
26:59Oh, crap. No, stuck in the mud. Oh, no. I'm going to be eliminated. Crap. No. No. Look how they show the boot.
27:13Showing that. Oh. I'm going to get kicked off the race, man. Crap. Oh, damn. And that's how it goes. Damn.
27:23Okay, okay. That was kind of brutal. If you don't know your way around the tracks. So, yeah.
27:35Alright, so I think we did all of them. Let's see here. There we go. So, we do got time trial modes here. Okay.
27:51Target zones. Try if they're on targets. Any turbos. Okay, so there's two new ones here.
27:57Well, three. But, you know, because we're already seeing that one in the main GP mode. So, okay.
28:04Alright, target zones. Let's do that one.
28:12Alright, fat bastard. Let's go.
28:16Oh, good. And we can actually pick the levels here. Time trial.
28:21Alright. Glover, man.
28:23He gets out with the ROM hacks that some of the modders, like, love Glover.
28:29Because, I guess, in Banjo-Kazooie 64.
28:32Or, no. Banjo-Kazooie Saoja 64. There is, uh, Glover level.
28:37Which I haven't gotten to yet. So, that's going to be, heh heh.
28:40When I finish my playthrough later on. Let's play that level.
28:43It's going to be pretty dope.
28:46Alright, let's do it.
28:52Ooh.
28:54Carnival level, baby.
28:56Yeah.
28:57No, I missed it!
29:00Crap.
29:02Restart.
29:03Retry.
29:05Because that run was crappy.
29:10We'll start with three boosts here.
29:13Here we go.
29:18Ah, I see them.
29:19Little rings like to move.
29:20Interesting.
29:21Interesting.
29:27Ooh, okay.
29:28Drifted.
29:29Drifted.
29:33Oh, I just did it!
29:34I just...
29:35Okay, so.
29:36Starting to learn the new mechanic there.
29:38Little drifting mechanic.
29:391, 2, 3, 1, 1, 1, 2, 0.
29:43Here I go.
29:54Oh, crap! Nooo!
29:56Oh, yeah.
29:57Smashing the teeth.
29:58Oh yeah, smashing the teeth, the big bowling ball of Glover.
30:05That was always so satisfying.
30:09Sorry guys, Glover's like one of the most underrated platformers of all time.
30:14I don't care what anyone says.
30:17It's a damn shame that they had a cancelled sequel, man.
30:20Like, oh my god.
30:25I would love to see a Glover too, because they actually did like a, I guess, kind of like
30:33a fort, not really a remaster of Glover on Switch.
30:41Whee!
30:46Alright, this Glover levels the tits right here.
30:49Love it.
30:51Oh, one of the enemies from the Lumber.
30:55Go!
30:56Yeah, boi!
30:58Aw, no!
31:00Son of a bastard.
31:04Heh, monoxymoron.
31:07Son of a bastard.
31:12Sniper!
31:17Yup!
31:18We screwed THAT up, but you joined the hell out of this level anyway.
31:21Aw, no!
31:23Oh my god, no.
31:26Oh my god no. She drifted.
31:48Crap. Crap, crap.
31:56Ay-yi-yi-yi-yi.
32:01Big ol' fan.
32:06Wait, hold on. Was there a big switch behind that fan so you could actually turn it on?
32:11Dude, if that detail is included, that would be amazing.
32:18Hold on. No, can't get over there. Dammit. Okay.
32:21Fair enough. Fair enough.
32:26There we go.
32:39Okay. Enough getting my butt handed to me here.
32:42Let's try the Mini Turbos mode.
32:45Okay. Mini Turbos. Automatic acceleration. Use Mini Turbos by drifting without crashing or driving the wrong way.
33:00All right.
33:03Definitely gonna be a challenge here. Let's go for it.
33:05Let's go for it.
33:12Oh yeah. That little, uh...
33:14That last mode was actually pretty decent. Not too bad.
33:21Let's see. There's another one I should try.
33:23Let's see. There's a Kirby one. A little Kirby stage.
33:26I was more interested in the Super Mario World race... Super Mario World race right here.
33:34Ooh, it's like a pseudo, like, 3D, 2D hybrid.
33:37Hybrid.
33:38Ooh.
33:39Loving that already.
33:45Dude, this looks so freaking cool.
33:47Love it.
33:49Whee!
33:57Oh, it is automatic. Okay.
33:58Acceleration is automatic. Okay.
34:01So, acceleration is automatic. Okay.
34:03I've seen that before.
34:16Interesting.
34:22Dude, I love the look of this level, man.
34:23I would just love a whole Mario Kart game where it's, like, in this style.
34:29It's like, pure 16-bit goodness.
34:34Like a Super Mario World Mario Kart Edition.
34:37Or, vice versa.
34:46Ah, crap!
34:53I can drift like that.
34:56It's all trying to learn the drift mechanics.
34:58Because, again, no instruction manual.
35:00It's like, I would do it, but then I'm like, oh, I don't know how I really do it.
35:04It's like in a fighting game when you pull off, like, a badass move or combo, like, how'd I do that?
35:08Heh, heh.
35:24Interesting mode.
35:27I've never seen the time trial mode where, like, the acceleration...
35:32Where, like, the acceleration was, like, automatic.
35:35So, that is interesting.
35:37Okay, okay.
35:40Alright.
35:41Should probably check out the battle mode, see if there's any changes there.
35:44So, check it out.
35:48Okay, just had to check the battle mode here.
35:51Well, you know, weird thing is, it says, not yet implemented.
35:54So, I'm guessing because it's all new tracks, that's probably why.
36:01Well, let's see, can you still do versus...?
36:06Okay, yeah.
36:07So, versus!
36:08I'm like, dude, that would have been, like, a deal breaker for this ROM hack.
36:14I'm like, oh, if you can't do any of this, then that would suck.
36:18So, it includes the balloon race, and...
36:22Elimination.
36:24Well, that's pretty cool.
36:27Awesome.
36:28At least they have that.
36:29So, maybe that's why they, uh...
36:32implemented that.
36:34Ooh.
36:35Let's see, yeah.
36:36No bots.
36:38Two, three, four bots.
36:40Oh, interesting.
36:41So, it has a bot mechanic.
36:45So, instead of doing just, like, a straight two-player versus...
36:50Okay, okay.
36:53That's interesting.
36:54Okay.
36:55Like that.
37:05Okay.
37:07And then, of course, we can pick the ones we want.
37:10Okay, cool.
37:13No, nobody's playing with me.
37:14I'm just trying to, like, check it out here.
37:16So...
37:23Okay.
37:24Well, at least we know the versus is still intact.
37:27Because I guess with the battle mode, since these are completely new tracks,
37:29I guess they couldn't implement them yet.
37:33So, I'm wondering if version three, they're gonna...
37:36If they added, uh...
37:38Battle mode.
37:41So, yeah.
37:46Well, it's kinda cool.
37:47They did the hybrid of the battle and the standard GP, so...
37:51Pretty cool.
37:58Go ahead and DK again.
37:59Let's see.
38:02Let's pick another level that we really want to play to end this video here.
38:07Let's see.
38:09Yeah, Hazy means great.
38:10I like that one.
38:12Cardo Bell Rome.
38:13I loved it.
38:14It was great.
38:17Should do the Kiki Kai Kai Shrine.
38:21I think that's the one from, uh...
38:24Mario Kart E Deluxe.
38:27Well, no.
38:28We're gonna try both Secret Slide and the Shrine.
38:38Let's see Calamari Canyon.
38:40So, that's a reworked one.
38:42The Calamari Canyon, you can see.
38:44You can tell.
38:45So...
38:51Alright.
38:53So, we'll just...
38:55Fly by the, uh...
38:56Wario Stadium real quick.
38:59Alright.
39:00Kiki Kai Kai Shrine.
39:01Okay, maybe it's not the same one from, uh...
39:06Mario Kart E Deluxe.
39:08But, it is a Shrine level.
39:14Wait a minute.
39:15Can I even recognize that music?
39:19Isn't this Pocky and Rocky?
39:21Dude, this is Pocky and Rocky!
39:22It's Pocky and Rocky!
39:24Dude!
39:25No way!
39:26They added a Pocky and Rocky frickin' level.
39:29No effin' way.
39:32Dude, that is sick!
39:36That game was great, too.
39:38Hard as hell, but...
39:40Definitely a good shoot'em on.
39:44And then the remake was pretty good, too.
39:46Got that on Switch.
39:48Oh, wow!
39:49I didn't see this comin'.
39:50Freakin' Pocky and Rocky.
39:51Heh, the stage here.
39:53It's almost as random when you, uh...
39:56When they added the, uh...
39:58Marvelous Capcom 2 level in Smash Remix.
40:05Oh, my god.
40:07Ooh, I like the little day to night transition here.
40:10What the heck?
40:12Oh, my god.
40:13There's a lot going on in this level.
40:15Heh, heh.
40:16No transition.
40:17It's raining.
40:20Dude, it's so cool.
40:22Back it up.
40:23Back it up, son.
40:24There we go.
40:30Oh, my god.
40:31This level's so good.
40:36Yeah, slip on it, dummy.
40:38Get that.
40:41Oh, my gosh.
40:46Ghosts and demons and everything.
40:47But yeah, the whole day-night transition here, it's like the chef's kiss on this amazing level right here.
41:06Ah, come on.
41:08It was funny, cause this was like a Japanese-themed level, and I automatically thought, I'm like, oh yeah, it's that, uh...
41:16It's the same stage for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
41:24I think it was part of like the booster track pack, too.
41:28But I just totally forgot the name of that track.
41:30But it was also like a shrine slash dojo type level.
41:34But holy hell, Pocky and Rocky, did not see that coming.
41:44So yeah, like two Super Nintendo game-themed tracks here.
41:48The Super Mario World and Pocky and Rocky.
41:51That's so cool.
41:52Oh yeah, and then the one from, uh, Super Mario Kart on Super Nintendo.
42:00So.
42:04Wait, did I turn on the option to proceed even though it got past?
42:21Oh, okay.
42:22I guess I did have that option.
42:25That is awesome.
42:27And I still got one point.
42:29Even though it was like...
42:31Six plays.
42:33Alright.
42:35It's grinding.
42:36Grinding.
42:48Ah, crap, no!
42:49See, I see the blue spark, but I don't know how to, like, boost.
42:56How?
42:58I'm gonna have to Google that.
43:00There's the mechanics there.
43:01I know it is.
43:04Sun leader virgins.
43:05Oh, come here, boy!
43:19Yeah.
43:20Oh, I still hit him?
43:21Even though I just barely came off of the star?
43:25Alright.
43:26That'll work.
43:27It's okay.
43:29It's okay.
43:33Peenie.
43:34Peenie.
43:38Peenie.
43:42Peenie.
43:43Peenie.
43:50Ah, crap!
43:52Oh.
43:53Ah, crap.
43:55I'm sure I can phase through the, uh, stained glass window here.
43:59There we go.
44:00There we go.
44:04No, no!
44:08Alright, come on.
44:10Come on.
44:11Gotta do a drift boost here, man.
44:14Wanna figure it out.
44:15Ah, crap.
44:17Oh, you bastard.
44:19Of course I'd be a Wario.
44:20Wario's always been a douchebag.
44:22Especially in the Mario Party games, man.
44:24How many times Mario...
44:26Like, how many times has he, like, screwed people over?
44:29Oh, man.
44:31Oh, man.
44:33Oh, man.
44:35Oh, man.
44:36Oh, man.
44:37Oh, man.
44:38Oh, man.
44:39Oh, man.
44:40Oh, man.
44:41Oh, man.
44:42Oh, man.
44:43Oh, man.
44:44Oh, man.
44:45Oh, man.
44:46Oh, man.
44:47Oh, man.
44:53Kinda interesting how we're going up this slide here.
44:57I don't think I remember doing the mirror mode, but...
45:07Yeah, bet.
45:08See the blue spark?
45:09Well, hell not a boost.
45:11It's killing me.
45:12Killing me souls.
45:14Nooo.
45:15I don't think I didn't move.
45:20Oh, man.
45:21Crap.
45:22Crap, crap, crap.
45:23Oh, man.
45:32Oh, my gosh.
45:36So we're about that, folks.
45:37Just had to make an adjustment real quick.
45:39I love the drifting potential in this freaking track, dude.
45:52Aw, damn.
45:53Did you see Luigi?
45:55He just freaking did Peach so dirty.
46:00I told Mikey Polymer out a little girl, like the challenging times, all странations to black and purple with the woods.
46:08I kind of want to do alist all this, like, what usually I'm laughing like, did you hear the show?
46:14Huh?
46:17Alright, here's you.
46:22Here's me.
46:31Grab.
46:33Grab.
46:34Grab.
46:42Oh, yep!
46:43First, first, first, first!
46:45Yeah, boy!
46:47That's how we do it.
46:49This is how we do it.
46:52Love it.
47:01Alright, that was the secret slide.
47:05Let's see what's the next stage.
47:09Ooh, Neo Bowser City.
47:13I love the rain.
47:17Like, in some of these stages, man.
47:19It's so freaking cool.
47:23Okay, but I think we're gonna end the video here.
47:28Aw, crap. Hold on.
47:31Alrighty, folks.
47:32So, we're gonna go ahead and end this video for...
47:35For...
47:38This episode of New Games Extravaganza Episode 8.
47:44And this was a fun one, man.
47:45Like, ah, I was not disappointed with this ROM hack.
47:48Like, honestly, it just feels like a brand new frickin' game.
47:51This would be like...
47:52If they made, like, a Mario Kart 64 2.
47:55Like...
47:56This would be like a full-blown sequel.
47:58With all these sweet-ass features.
48:01New tracks.
48:02New mechanics.
48:04Like...
48:05Yeah, I love how they brought, like, little stunt boosts.
48:09Drifting boosts from the later games, and...
48:13Oh, man.
48:14I was just so impressed with this ROM hack.
48:17Like...
48:18Definitely leagues above the, uh, Dragon Ball Z Kart.
48:21Cause that one was just a mere reskin.
48:24But, holy hell, man.
48:27But I would like to get version 3 at some point.
48:30I don't know if I'll ever find, like, an EverDrive Kart for cheap.
48:33But...
48:34It'd be nice if I could, so I can...
48:36You know...
48:38Get the updates.
48:39Without having to buy another cartridge or whatever.
48:42Heh.
48:43Although I would probably sell the one that I already bought previously,
48:46and then get the new one, or...
48:47Something like that.
48:48But, I don't know.
48:50But, yeah, man.
48:53That concludes this episode of New Games Extravaganza.
48:57Episode 8 of Mario Kart 64 Amped Up.
49:00So, until next time...
49:02Love, peace, chicken grease.
