Line #20 Funny/MarioKart


1	* For some players, holding onto a Spiny Shell can result in this. Because it only targets the racer in first place, an approaching Spiny Shell tends to turn any neck-and-neck battle for the lead into a frantic game of HotPotato, as the lead racers will often panic and stop dead in their tracks in an attempt to stay in second place and screw each other over.
2	** Watching another player [[EpicFail use a Spiny Shell in first place]].
3	* Baby Park from ''Double Dash!!'' might be ThatOneLevel due to items bouncing all over the place, but you can't help but laugh at just how chaotic it can get.
4	* In ''Wii'' and ''7'', playing as a regular character or as a Mii and seeing your own Miis in Coconut Mall is pretty hilarious as well. Especially since they also drive the parking cars that you must dodge at the end.
5	* Doing badly in a race can trigger some pretty funny reactions from your racer.
6	** In ''Double Dash'', if you get in second or third place while Birdo is one of your characters, she'll start to cheer only to stop when she realizes you didn't first place.
7	---> '''Birdo:''' Wooo... What? Oh.
8	** Also in ''Double Dash'', if you get in second or third place while Baby Luigi is one of your characters, he'll say "Baby Weegee number not one."
9	** In ''Wii'', if you play as Wario and he gets lower than fifth place, he will loudly grumble, "I hate you." In ''8'', he'll say "Gahh, I ''hate'' losing!", and in ''Double Dash''? "I lost! To a bunch of losers!"
10	** In ''Wii'' and ''7'', if you rank low enough, [[TheUnintelligible Bowser]] will grumble out a coherent "Horrible..." One of the few moments in recent years (outside of ''[[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory Bowser's Inside Story]]'') where he actually talks, rather than just roaring and grumbling.
11	** Bowser Jr. losing: [[FlatWhat "What. What..."]] It's a bit of a relief that he doesn't bawl hysterically like he did in Toadstool Tour and Double Dash.
12	** Waluigi: GAH! Everybody cheated! [[HypocriticalHumor NEXT TIME I'LL CHEAT!]]
13	** [[ThatMakesMeFeelAngry Luigi sad... so sad...]]
14	** Baby Daisy's BigWhat when losing in ''Wii''.
15	** The noises Donkey Kong makes when being dragged out of the water in ''Wii''. They were later reused for when he loses in ''7''.
16	** Koopa Troopa goes inside his shell out of embarrassment when losing in ''Wii'', giving us the sight of a kart (or bike) driven by a turtle shell, ''literally''.
17	* In between the bouts of seething hatred you'll be feeling at getting caught in a HumiliationConga, you can't help but laugh at the sheer amount of abuse [[ChewToy your player]] can go through [[MadeOfIron without so much as an annoyed grumble.]] [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge Especially if you go on to win.]]
18	* Falling off the edge (''especially'' if you're driving on Rainbow Road) ''on purpose'' [[ComedicSociopathy just to hear your character scream]] (in Time Trial, of course).
19	* Under the right circumstances, the triple red shell item makes for a hilarious FoeTossingCharge.
20	* Toad's Turnpike in ''64''. Extra Cup. ''Oncoming cars.''
21	* If you end up in 4th place overall in ''64'', which is actually much harder to do than it sounds[[note]]You pretty much have to finish 4th place in every race, ''[[DoWellButNotPerfect but not any lower]]'', because 5th or below forces a redo of the race.[[/note]], you'll sadly watch the ceremony from the castle and drive off... only for a bomb-shaped kart to follow you and blow you up. The victory music even [[DarkReprise shifts to a minor key halfway through.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKTO0tavDxw View it here.]]
22	** On the same note, finishing 4th in ''Super Circuit'' will have you confronting the top 3 head-on before getting squished by the podium that is falling from the sky.
23	* A player spamming the Lucky 7 or the Crazy 8 [[AttackAttackAttack to use every item quickly]] sometimes leads to pretty funny results, like hitting each racer nearby with a different item or even making some of them fall off the track... Or the Bob-omb backfiring, [[EpicFail exploding near you]] [[HopeSpot and destroying all the remaining items]], maybe even hitting another racer who was trying to steal your star.
24	* Due to ''Mario Kart 64'' being the first game in the series with true 3D, an unusual quirk is that certain sounds have a Doppler Effect if you drive underneath them at the right time. This includes racers' ''screams''. It's hilarious to hit Wario with a shell, zip under him as he flies into the air, and hear his yell sharply rise in pitch and then down again as you do so.
25	* In ''Super Mario Kart,'' if you earn a gold trophy, the Cheep Cheep balloon that drops the trophy will deflate and go flying out of control.
26	* The Super Horn in ''8''. While it's the one thing that will get rid of the spiny shell, it will also kill nearby obstacles... and send them ''flying''.
27	* Several players intentionally drive off the track at the finish line - the game still counts this as a win!
28	* Thank to the use of Smart Steering and Auto-accelerate, it's possible to (but only on 50cc) literally [[WinsByDoingABsolutelyNothing win by doing absolutely nothing]], as demonstrated by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9F2djsuZuTg Luigi]].
29	* When Wario replaced Koopa Troopa for ''Mario Kart 64'', some amused fans "explained" Troopa's disappearance by saying Wario stole Troopa's kart, which wouldn't be out of character for him. Magazine/NintendoPower almost made it AscendedFanon by printing some fan art of Koopa Troopa phoning the police to report Wario's theft of his kart.
30	-->'''Koopa Troopa''': Yes officer, it was a fat man in purple overalls who stole my kart!
31	* While initially considered the reason for Daisy's [[TheScrappy scrappydom]] back in the day, her manic "HI I'M DAISY!" in ''Double Dash!!'' whenever you switch to her mid-race is the stuff of legends for just how memetically grating it is. The fact that you can ''spam it'' just makes it even better.
