 I never intended this to be this extravagant, but we have a quarter of a mile go-kart racetrack We have the Mario Kart home circuit attached to this car. We have the four gates. Okay, so I'm pulling up on the first gate And acknowledges the first gate so everything's so far so good So I'm about to create Hopefully the world's first three-quarter of a mile Mario Kart home circuit course I think the game is very confused right now gate two is still a long way away I am slightly worried Because the map has disappeared from the screen Let me explain How I got to this point first we need to go back to now Because I haven't actually bought the go-kart yet this idea to take a Go-kart that can go 25 miles an hour and turn it into a actual working Mario Kart that integrates with the home circuit game it started in a very unlikely scenario I have a Podcast I haven't bought anything in forever nothing fun nothing exciting I haven't gone anywhere and done anything and I'm starting to feel that urge to make a big purchase So I'm gonna pass it on to people listening if you want to tweet at me DM me with big dumb purchases And I will buy one of those. I don't care what it is. It can be anything. No, I got a ton of replies a lot of them were good plant growing case kit thing and you You can grow whatever you want year-round now whatever you want whatever you want But the one that really caught my eye Was this they're called Ninebot, right? That's the name of the company and they make these go-karts and they are made for drifting can hit 23 miles an hour Wow, how much is it in turn? It might be a couple thousand. I'm not sure it's it's a bunch of money I don't think I've ever spent $2,000 on anything which is why I started to think how do I make a go-kart? Equipment for my YouTube channel. The answer was obvious Mario Kart, but what was a little less obvious was how I was gonna make that work Because I didn't just want to dress up the go-kart and put out a few obstacles and get out there with the camera and be like Oh, look at me. I'm playing Mario Kart. Whoopie. I wanted to do something more complex There is a lot I need to figure out for this to even work To start with and I already know the answer to this I need to figure out if we need to use the gates how we're gonna use them I don't know because this little guy can very easily fit underneath here, but the go-kart I'm buying Might be a bit of a stretch for the courses set. I have to go through the gates I don't think I can now move the gates So yeah, the gates have to be part of this for this to work because what I'm thinking is if we take the big Go-kart and we stick this onto the front or onto the side and have it come along with us as we're moving That could work for any of these ideas to actually work This guy needs to be able to go through these gates Without the wheels actually moving and I don't know if that's possible spoiler alert It wasn't I quickly came to realize that the car needed to be level with the ground to work So any notion I had at that point of strapping Mario to my head went out the window The only thing I can think of is Attaching it next to the car and having it run along the ground with the car I sound defeated here because I kind of was at this point I thought my test had proved this idea to be improbable, but you know, I want to pull it off I want to make this happen. Fortunately it is on sale. Uh, 300 $200 office 200 Sadly after tax though it bumps back up to 2,000 so it's not really like I'm saving anything Okay, we have to set this up Oh god, it's pretty heavy Fun fact, I actually hurt my back doing this and couldn't move later that night it happened right there It comes with this a Bluetooth speaker I'm not really sure why when I answered the door the delivery driver I don't think he had to be there. I think he wanted to see who bought it Because when I opened the door he was like have fun and that's all he said Yeah, I will okay quick start. That's what I want. I want a nice quick start You got to install the spoiler Install the engine speaker. Oh, so it makes it sound like a go-kart because it's electric I don't know. It's kind of cool Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah long story short We had to build this thing put it on charge and then download an app giving me all these Instructions of things I shouldn't shouldn't do but I'm more worried about all these screws that I didn't get to put in That's just extra stuff. I hope so. You don't need it. Oh, it's going No, that was me running over a strap congratulations, I'm verified I got my license I can now go the full speed limit. I want to ride this thing right now. So bad Let's just go take it out to like some like random road or something where it's like we don't have to worry about traffic Okay thinking I Love my life right now. I guess I'm gonna drive it test it out. See how I feel I'm really not even thinking about the video right now if I'm being honest I'm thinking about driving a go-kart not a huge acceleration. That's because you have it set to safe mode you idiot Dude, it's not going very fast and wonder why But that is It's still kind of slow right now We're safe mode. Oh, that's what it is. That's what it is. It's safe mode sports mode. No, you're in speed limit That's so much better just wait till he realizes that's not even the fast mode Without it Okay, it's really good It looks like you're about to fly off of it, man The drifting feels crazy, dude It doesn't feel like I should be staying on my wheels. So we got sports mode and track mode Track modes 37 kilometers an hour. Wait, hold on it can go faster No way, that's this is a bad idea At this point, I feel obligated to say kids always wear a helmet Dude, that's ridiculous in kilometers. That's 40 kilometers an hour That's how fast the car goes down side streets. You want to go? I would later regret asking that question I still don't know what that part is, but I hope I don't need it. You know why it's so fun It's because when you ride a go-kart, you usually have to ride it in certain places like oh my god, like Probably for the best, but I like a carnival or a bumper car ride You don't ever just get one to do whatever you want with it After Billy was done breaking my go-kart Did it break it? Yeah, you did. So this is how much more fatter I am than you Oh, I don't think that's the word it's more how much thicker you are with two C's. Yeah Now the next step is figuring out What we're gonna do as far as getting the Mario Kart attached to it to actually race this thing in the game So I mean if you want to drive home, I'll just follow you. Okay. Okay Wait, he was serious This thing's battery is about to die, but you know what batteries almost never die? Reikon. Hold on. Let me get a little closer Reikon's because Reikon's have six hours of playtime and this little case that you carried them around in also acts as a charge bank Charging them back up when you're done Miracle of science. They're almost as cool as this thing No, they are as cool as this thing. Sorry Reikon Wait, what if I did the whole read while I was driving around do it do too. Okay Reikon have great sound more bass and a comfortable fit their noise isolating and come in a wide range of fun colors and patterns I probably don't have to yell because the lap is right here. You can probably hear me. I Can't really read this that well. Oh, it says that I use mine when I'm working out Which is very true, but I also use them while I'm riding around in the go-kart. Hold on Probably shouldn't do that. It's probably not very safe Use the Reikon's everywhere in your life other than when you're riding around go-kart I really appreciate everyone that's been snapping me pictures of their Reikon's After they've used my code by Reikon.com forward slash beat em ups. They've got 15% off. You could be just like them Sadly it's been raining every day since we tested out the go-kart So I haven't really made any progress, but let me go show you what I'm thinking first step is to try and just Get this attached to this should be able to put that There this is obviously way too long. It's actually about perfect. I Don't really need this one Okay, let me try and zip tie this. Let's see how that goes. Okay, believe it or not. That is Super sturdy. Yeah, I can't budge that. It's so simple. Maybe too simple Maybe way too simple. Now the part that I was really worried about Attaching the the Mario Kart To this thing. Oh, I don't want to block the camera though. It looks like I can actually this slots Perfectly in between the steering wheel and the front of the car and it won't get in the way That's honestly too perfect. How is this working? And so I went to work zip tying a Nintendo toy to a PVC pipe That was also zip tied to a go-kart. I was so sure this wasn't going to work. It actually it has give It's weighted enough that it's putting pressure on it. So it's hitting the ground But if I do go over any kind of bump, I really feel like it's gonna have that give and this was my face when I began To realize this might actually work. All right, let's do a test. Let's see how it drives just here in the garage Oh, no, I don't really have a great deal of room to test this I don't see why this wouldn't work. I can't see what's happening on that screen down there right now But not only is he moving perfectly with me the wheels are even moving. Well, I would think That's gotta work. Let me grab one of the gates because if it can recognize the gate, it's it's working So now I got to make the gate. I'm really excited. This is actually going to work The amount of footage I have of a 30 year old me struggling to get out of a go-kart is Staggering. All right. So another long story short I can't just throw down the gates and drive through them with a massive PVC pipe in the way So I'm creating these very elegant blue flag poles and zip tying the gates to them at their usual Exact height and the AR camera only cares about this part Anyway, it just looks for this big border in the number one It doesn't really even care about this picture too much Well, this is all I need zip ties really are champion in this project. Yes, they are I'm putting a lot of faith in just several zip ties Boom bam for beautiful gates to race through Hi, I'm pretty happy with how these turned out. I mean, they're exactly what I expected and they're gonna work So now that we have the flags we have the cart attached to the other car You would think that we're ready problem is this Awesome go-kart doesn't exactly look the pod. I'm gonna fix that And be flagged number one Blow that away. I didn't the only way anyone's ever gonna top this is if I go over a mile Never intended this to be this extravagant, but we have a quarter of a mile go-kart racetrack We have the Mario Kart home circuit attached to this cart, which I have dressed up to look like the smaller car We have the four gates I'm gonna hold my switch and very slowly see if I can create the course Okay, so I'm pulling up on the first gate And acknowledges the first gate so everything's so far so good setup race Custom race will do 50 CC on all the differences create course So I'm about to create Hopefully the world's first three-quarter of a mile Mario Kart home circuit course Okay, there's gate one not realizing. This is gonna take a while. I'm not sure if there's a speed limit here I think the game is very confused right now gate two is still a long way away. I am slightly worried Because the map has disappeared from the screen that we're not gonna be able to connect to gate two Oh, it's changed and says drive through gate one. Damn it. We might need to go back to gate one very upsetting So I got up there straight away and then it told me to go back to gate one So I'm gonna try one more time slower Sadly and see if I can get to gate two I guess this time I'll test when it says go to gate one like how big we can make it Stay connected, baby. This time I'm holding a on the switch and making the wheels go forward Hoping that it tricks it into thinking it is actually driving last time I wasn't doing that still says drive through gate two we've ran out of paint try again so that time It was working, but it ran out of paint meaning We can't make a course that big just for the sake of doing it I'm gonna race the course. It will still register each of the gates It just won't be a course that we've made meaning it won't augment all of the reality It won't turn it into a Mario Kart race But it will still acknowledge each of the gates as we go through it And I can still try and set a time for that to clarify Mario Kart home circuit has an explore mode, which is still kind of a mode It's still kind of the game you can drive around with the gates just not on a created course Then we'll try making just a smaller course with what we have that's gate one But first if I can pull this off, it'll still be the longest adventure mode lap in history Oh No, this gates blown I'm gonna have to try and FNAGLE my way around this one gate three. There we go So this shot here, I knew it was gonna sweep around me and I had the chance to say something really awesome I was actually a pretty cool shot, and that's what I chose to say Oh Half of the course, I don't know if anyone took my time for me I'm gonna guess probably the fastest this course has ever been run in general. All right Let's settle down here at the start that this wasn't the plan to begin with I think we got carried away in the glitz and the glamour of being at a mile long go kart course The plan initially was just to get this cut to work with home circuit So let's go back to that plan and actually get a course made here and race the course Before it starts to rain because it's looking overcast. So that's what I'm gonna do now We've placed the flag at a bit more of a reasonable distance I'm gonna try creating a course in mario kart home circuit using my go kart 50 cc Maybe I should go higher because I'm definitely racing higher and then create course will be okay I mean I'm going really slow The cart has left the ground Please do not pick up the cart Oh my god, I thought the cart left the ground. Okay Apparently I can't rush this so let me go slower the guys that let us in here and now thinking to themselves. What have we done? My god, dude, it's telling me gate one again. So hopefully this time With a little bit of added pressure on the pipe You keep it on the ground. Okay. I'm not gonna push luck too much. I'm just gonna turn here go around a three Got it one gate left once the course is made I can be a little bit more reckless reckless because the course is made. It's just making the course. It needs to connect the whole way All right, we did it back to gate one and then the course is made However, this turn would prove to be difficult time and time again Cut has left the ground We were so close We were right there You want to move that closer? We try one more time at this point I'd given it my all days of planning had led up to this moment with storm clouds overhead The threat of lightning might pull us off the course at any second. We don't have time for any more mistakes Come on, man. We just gotta make it gate four Just gotta turn it around Then I'm the very last turn disaster Wait, wait, wait, wait. I could still do it I could still do it I will get it back. It'll make the course and then we put it back on and we race We did it. Oh my god Here's your new course here. Take a look take a look at it. So I'm not lying We did it in kind of a roundabout way. Okay So now we can race. I just got to get it back on That was still perfect. I know it was okay three two Oh god, what do they go? Did I oh I'm blasting past them. They can't keep up Sorry Place you in uh first now wait that count is going through the gate. Yeah, I think it did Okay, I'm holding a bomb That's gate three. So I'm already in gate three in first place I just got blue shelled blue shelled again. Okay. There's some races coming past I've lost my bomb sadly This is actually pretty funny that I can see the races on the course not that I can keep up with them, but All right, there's gate four. We're about to complete one lap My god, it's finally working. We're on two out of three I have no idea where the other races are at this point if I'm leagues ahead of them Or they're super far behind me, but I'm picking up objects. I have a mushroom. Let's see what happens I have a mushroom. What do you think happens when I boost? I can't even I don't even know what button it is to boost up there We can't marry them going fast Oh my god, at least it's finally working Get this gate Nice last lap gate two gate three. Oh, I'm in sec. I'm in third now Okay, one more gate do not slip off do not slip off if I hit this gate. I have finished the race Oh my god I Successfully did it. I raced a game of home circuit with an actual go-kart attached to the other go-kart I'm counting it. This has to still be How long would you think that is like quarter mile half a quarter mile? Quarter quarter mile one tenth of a mile home circuit course on an actual go-kart I don't I don't care. I'm sure some sort of record was broken. I'm just trying to find it Either way, I had fun. It's been a blast Now I have been dying to race this course at least once without this thing on do you guys mind if I really quickly just race the course Time me. What's the fastest time of the course? Easy I honestly don't know why I made this video or even decided to do this in the first place But I have to say it was some of the most fun. I've had in a long time I'm not sure if we technically set any records the longest adventure mode lap or The first mario kart home circuit course completed on a go-kart. It really doesn't matter I guess all that matters is that I had a good time and made a fun video Oh, well technically I did set one record for sure. That was very fun. What was my time? I got you a two twelve point five eight. Nice. So record for the course On this thing sure Well, that's something I'm setting so many records today. What a blast. It's been really fun. Thank you. I appreciate it Well, I think we accomplished several tasks today. I don't even know how many records we may or may not have broken But it wouldn't have been possible without Kart motor I appreciate you guys so much really in fact, can you take this helmet off because I can't breathe We're in crescent, texas at jason to motorsport ranch It's uh three quarters of a mile go-kart track and we're definitely known for the supermodos out here too I mean, I've had a blast and I need someone to drive this thing from now on so I know where i'm going Oh, sure would why don't you go around and pick up all the flags? Don't mind the fact they'll have super heavy rocks on them And you're in a tiny go-kart without any weather store anything. You'll be fine Why did I think I was I could do that
