A HOOT
Tobias Fünke really needs to listen to himself as he speaks. But he came up with a hell of a phrase, so we’ll let it slip.
You guessed it: the new fast-paced craze in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (which is still a very successful game with over 33 million sales under control) is called ‘Blue Yourself’. This means that you want to hit yourself with a blue shell as quickly as possible, and there is currently a tough competition in the country Mario Kart community.
To accomplish this task, you will acquire boost items, hang out strategically so your chances of getting a blue shell are high and then move quickly forward and “blue yourself” with the blue shell. There are chances involved, but given how fast runs are, it’s not crazy. The whole process takes about 40 seconds.
Just recently, YouTuber Skilloz (below) beat GsFlint’s world record of 39.56 seconds. Skilloz managed to sneak extra time under with a decent amount of time, with Baby Peach at 37.89 seconds.
I think one of the most virtuous aspects of the fast running community is that people make new parameters and stick to them as a group. The “All Dog Treasures” run in Breath of nature is a proof of that.
