MK8: Ghost / MKTV / solid ghost / combined replays comparison mindscarp 2021-05-30 | Top left: GHOST // Top right: MKTV // Bottom left: SOLID GHOST // Bottom right: COMBINEDThe solid ghost replay code was created by MK8DXLive: twitter.com/MK8DXLive (TID: 1346404686241300481) / youtube.com/channel/UCFboJTeg9Eqjy92NVh2-7bw/videos (Discord: MK8DXLive@2863)This video shows 4 different ways of recording replays in Mario Kart 8 (Wii U).______________________________--- Top left = GHOSTThe regular in-game replay. The character/vehicle is transparent. Picked-up coins remain on the track. The track doesn't interact with the racer (e.g. Electrodrome stairs do not light up when driven over, traffic cones don't move when hit…)______________________________--- Top right = MKTVThe "Mario Kart TV" highlight reel. Has a MKTV watermark in the upper right corner. Can be rewinded/fast-forwarded. No motion blur when using a mushroom / dash panel.Only plays the lap 1 regular music continuously (even on final lap/section), but music can be disabled so that only sound effects play (e.g. youtu.be/NWQmas-TA5o ). Does not have a mushroom box, timer, coin counter, Lakitu. Lap count only appears when crossing the line. Track objects interact with the racer.It was possible to share the MKTV replay by uploading it along a Miiverse post (details: youtu.be/8YpV1DDG62A ) but Miiverse was shut down by Nintendo in November 2017. Nowadays, only the player who made the run can watch his own MKTV replay (unless he hacks his Wii U console and manually retrieves the MKTV replay file, or uses Cemu emulator).______________________________--- Bottom left = SOLID GHOSTSame as ghost, except the character/vehicle is now opaque and casts a shadow.This is the newest method, made possible thanks to MK8DXLive's code.MK8DXLive does not wish to post the code publicly (a bit like mdmwii during Mario Kart Wii days), please contact him directly for inquiries.I call it a "solid ghost replay" because it's technically not like the Live Replay code from Mario Kart Wii where the game plays back the button inputs stored in the ghost file. Here in MK8, the code only affects the appearance of the racer. It's still considered as a ghost: coins do not disappear when picked up, and the track does not react to the racer.______________________________--- Bottom right = COMBINEDThe main type of video editing that was used on MK8Records between ~October 2014 (first use: youtu.be/hl3CVScNkww ) and October 2017. Players would upload their world record ghost to Nintendo Network, but also their MKTV highlight reel along a Miiverse post so that I could retrieve both types of replays and combine them to take advantage of their features. Explanation of how "combined replays" were made: https://i.imgur.com/AGUkHF8.pngAs far as I remember, the basic idea of combined replays came from Japanese player tossy ( youtu.be/wv1feJ0oRlw ).
Can you upload AV1 videos to YouTube? (libaom-av1) mindscarp 2021-03-14 | Answer: YES, YouTube accepts AV1 video uploads and transcodes themDownload the original file (200 MB): mediafire.com/file/zciqmmsvlfrtn3i/libaom-av1_crf34_mk8-rRRd-1-16-364_GusNyquist.mkv/fileWhen searching about AV1 and YouTube on the Internet, many results talk about how YouTube transcodes existing videos to AV1 for display. However I couldn't find easily whether YouTube accepts AV1-encoded video UPLOADS so I tried to upload an AV1-encoded video and it works.Google's help page "Supported YouTube file formats" does list HEVC (h265) but not AV1 at the moment: support.google.com/youtube/troubleshooter/2888402?hl=enThis video is *NOT* in AV1 when watched on YouTube. It is best viewed in 1440p resolution as YouTube transcodes to this resolution with VP9 codec while lower resolutions get h264/AVC. Or just download the original file but it may not play smoothly on VLC with lower-end devices.--- The original video was encoded with:ffmpeg version 4.3.2-2021-02-27-full_build-www.gyan.devffmpeg.org/download.htmllibaom-av1 2.0.2-1328-gc458ab0b5-c:v libaom-av1 -cpu-used 4 -crf 34 -b:v 0 -lag-in-frames 35 -c:a libopus -b:a 192KThe single-pass software encoding took about 4h10 on an Intel Core i9-10900k CPU (5166 frames, fps=0.3, bitrate=19486.3kbits/s)--- The Mario Kart 8 ghost replay was recorded on the Wii U emulator Cemu 1.22.8, with Vulkan + Graphics pack enabled (TV Resolution 5120x2880 then Bilinear downscaled to 2560x1440 in Cemu)This is the current 1:16.364 world record run on N64 Rainbow Road by Sgt. Guy: youtube.com/watch?v=bMAQxmaFF4YAt 0:58 the fireworks suddenly change because I could not get Cemu emulator to not drop frames so the final video is a combination of two recordings and changes between the two to discard segments with dropped frames. Also, despite the Cemu wiki saying "Compatibility: Perfect" for this game ( wiki.cemu.info/wiki/Mario_Kart_8 ), Mii faces are not rendered correctly.

Bowser rolling / spinning jingle (drums, flutes) - Super Mario Galaxy Music mindscarp 2019-01-16 | Variation of Bowser's boss battle theme in Super Mario Galaxy (Nintendo Wii) that only plays while Bowser is spinning on its back. This version contains drums and flutes in addition to the regular theme and choir.To my knowledge, nobody bothered uploading this specific version to YouTube with good quality.I did not rip this sequenced music, it comes from slippyToad's topic on the Final Fantasy Shrine forum.• juanacate recorded the song but it has in-game sound effects:→ youtube.com/watch?v=XGdMJAD72EY"King Bowser (Spinning Around) | Super Mario Galaxy | Soundtrack"• chipmunkmusic999 seemingly posted an older version of slippyToad's rip which was desynchronized:→ youtube.com/watch?v=Hpmd_OdhfX0"SMG OST- King Bowser ~ Rolling [115]"The most commonly uploaded version on the Internet only contains the regular theme and choir - ironically, such a version is never played in the game.

Online cheater in Mario Kart 8 (hacked time trial run) mindscarp 2015-08-25 | As you can see at 0:54 , the timer stops, while the lap count displays 2/3 . Both the Lakitu new lap jingle and the finish whistle are played simultaneously. The Lakitu itself doesn't show up to either indicate lap 2 entrance or the end of the run. The cheater apparently modified the track file so that it's only 1 lap long on his console.

Combined MKTV+ghost replay +custom music test (Mario Kart 8) BC 2:00.752 by HD ◆ DDSC mindscarp 2014-09-27 | MKTV replays = solid character, audio with effects onlyGhost replays = shroombox + coin/lap count + timer• MKTV replays display a ribbon at the bottom of the screen ( http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2014/39/1411763410-mktv-time-trials-bottom-ribbon.jpg ) during the first few seconds of a run so the ghost replay is used instead at the beginning.I used tossyMK's idea of fading the ghost into the solid character as soon as the MKTV ribbon disappears ( youtube.com/watch?v=wv1feJ0oRlw&t=18s ).• Due to the randomly generated elements ( see video http://youtu.be/CF6fANfMkFA ), the separation lines between the MKTV & ghost replays may be visible sometimes. This is the 1280×720 mask I used: http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2014/39/1411851645-mktv-replay-mask.pngSince the Lakitu doesn't appear on MKTV replays, he is visible only during the countdown, where the ghost replay is used.• MKTV replays do not play Lakitu lap 1→2 transition jingle nor the final lap jingle so you'll have to add them manually. I could only rip the final lap without other sound effects; I can't find a way to rip lap 1→2 transition jingle alone.Ghost is from French player HD ◆ DDSC 2:00.752 on Bowser's Castle. He used HD★Dεmøη♪'s Mii nickname at the time as a joke because they were both in the worldwide Top 10.Music is regular Bowser Battle theme from Super Mario Galaxy (regular, burned tail & rolling variations).
Randomly generated visual elements in Mario Kart 8 test mindscarp 2014-09-27 | The same ghost was recorded 2 different times. The two recordings are synchronised and overlaid on top of each other. All pixels that are identical in the two recordings turn gray; therefore, all elements that are visible in this comparison video are generated randomly by the game since they were different in the two recordings.- Timer (especially milliseconds/hundredths of second)- Most particle effects (Bowser's Castle yellow/orange floating particles, similar to Mount Wario's snow or Cloudtop Cruise's thundercloud particles), drift sparks…- Most smoke effects (tire drifts, heat haze…)- Most fire effects (firebars, torches, the vehicle's exhaust pipe… even the “MARIOKART” logo's burning fire texture on the finish line)- Wind lines (when under the effect of a boost, and the glider's wind lines)- Most lighting effects (tricking, picking up a coin, lasers from the small Bowser heads…) – but, surprisingly, not the anti-gravity tire transformation effect it seems!?- Lava texture seems to flow randomly- Hammer Bros. jump with no fixed pattern- The airship visible in the turn after the wrecking ball moves up/down randomly- Flags wave randomly- Lava geysersThat may seem like a lot of elements, but keep in mind the majority of the comparison video remains gray, which means all the rest is rendered exactly the same during each replay.______________________________» Examples with the same frame in the two recordings:recording1→ http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2014/39/1411834157-random-elements-mk8-bctest-3867-996.pngrecording2→ http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2014/39/1411834160-random-elements-mk8-bctest-3867-987.pngrecording1→ http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2014/39/1411834203-random-elements-mk8-bctest-3635-126.pngrecording2→ http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2014/39/1411834207-random-elements-mk8-bctest-3635-124.pngrecording1→ http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2014/39/1411834251-random-elements-mk8-bctest-2119-866.pngrecording2→ http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2014/39/1411834251-random-elements-mk8-bctest-2119-864.png______________________________» Filter used for the comparison is Avisynth's “Subtract” which turns gray RGB(128,128,128) all identical pixels.http://avisynth.nl/index.php/Subtracthttp://avisynth.org.ru/docs/english/corefilters/subtract.htmThe comparison was performed using uncompressed video footage in order to prevent noise caused by video compression artifacts.Ghost is from French player HD ◆ DDSC 2:00.752 on Bowser's Castle.

For example, some tracks load faster than others. Also, if you launch the game right after you powered on the console & the Wii U main menu appeared, it will take longer.
Background music test (ghost) - Mario Kart 8 mindscarp 2014-08-25 | Testing a few different background music configurations when using ghost replays (i.e. not MKTV replays with sound effects on).Some observations for people who want to do audio editing:- It is not possible (as far as I am aware) to rip the Lakitu new lap jingle from the game without sound effects/music. I could have used MKWii's one but it sounds quite different. So, it's a bit weird to put the final lap jingle but not the lap 2 entrance jingle. On the other hand, it doesn't cover the music.- Impossible to rip the whistling that plays when the finish line is crossed, but I used MKWii's one as it is similar.- Impossible to rip the “race intro” jingle that plays at the very beginning of the race, when the camera turns around the vehicle, but it's not really needed as this part is cut (the video starts right before the countdown, and the course intro jingle is played before that moment).Ending the menu music abruptly when the race part stars didn't sound good, since there was no sound at all, so I made it last a bit longer and fade out before the countdown.______________________________» Songs used:0:00 Cloudtop CruiseKid Icarus: Uprising (Nintendo 3DS - 2012)• Chapter 14: Thunder Cloud Temple youtube.com/watch?v=LO44T5WBcCc• Chapter 14: Lightning Battle youtube.com/watch?v=p9-Rem1kd1E2:13 Bowser's CastleSonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed (Wii U, 3DS, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PS Vita, PC, Android/iOS - 2012)• Adder's Lair youtube.com/watch?v=XKVWgKJfm4o4:29 Dolphin ShoalsSuper Mario Galaxy (Nintendo Wii - 2007)• Beach Bowl Galaxy - Above Water youtube.com/watch?v=gU44wvfjGHc• Beach Bowl Galaxy - Underwater youtube.com/watch?v=Asa1Ri6I7hM6:41 Shy Guy FallsThe Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks (Nintendo DS - 2009)• Realm Overworld youtube.com/watch?v=7mnPPOgf000______________________________» Ghost info:[0:00] Cloudtop Cruise - 2:00.265 - Zane41.568 - 39.153 - 39.544Heavy Mii + Mach 8 / Cyber Slick / Super Glider• youtube.com/user/zroyalmkw/videos• http://www.twitch.tv/zroyalmk/profile• miiverse.nintendo.net/users/Inceptionalize______________________________[2:13] Bowser's Castle - 2:02.448 - ıм Tyler42.027 - 40.174 - 40.247Morton + Mach 8 / Slick / Gold Glider• twitter.com/Tylershwam• youtube.com/user/ShwaMalleoMK/videos• http://www.twitch.tv/tyle_rr/profile• miiverse.nintendo.net/users/Tylershwam______________________________[4:29] Dolphin Shoals - 1:59.148 - JαK40.887 - 39.114 - 39.147Heavy Mii + Tri-Speeder / Standard / Super Glider• twitter.com/JaKortez• http://www.twitch.tv/jakortez/profile• youtube.com/user/JaKool6/videos• miiverse.nintendo.net/users/JaKool6______________________________[6:41] Shy Guy Falls - 1:56.563 - HD★Dεmøη♪39.387 - 38.468 - 38.708Heavy Mii + Mach 8 / Slick / Gold Glider• youtube.com/user/Speed64Demon/videos• http://www.twitch.tv/speed64demon/profile• miiverse.nintendo.net/users/Speed64Demon

Music: Water Park - Underwater alternative theme - Mario Kart 8 Rip mindscarp 2014-06-11 | Second version of Water Park music that plays during the two parts where you're driving underwater, before and after the "Sub Coaster".
Music: Dolphin Shoals - Shallow water alternative theme - Mario Kart 8 Rip mindscarp 2014-06-11 | Alternative background music of Dolphin Shoals that plays from the starting line to the underwater cave, but not during final lap. Dolphin Shoals is actually the track that has the highest number of variations (3) in Mario Kart 8 with the jazzy theme (swirl area & final lap), the shallow water variation (heard on this video) and the undersea cave.
Music: Electrodrome - Alternate theme (trippy anti-gravity zone) - Mario Kart 8 Rip mindscarp 2014-06-10 | Again, I couldn't find on YouTube this special alternative theme of Electrodrome which plays during a short part in the anti-gravity zone. I do not know if there are differences between the two paths but just for reference, this was recorded on the green path.
Music: Shy Guys mining crystals and humming along - Mario Kart 8 Rip mindscarp 2014-06-04 | meow (ding), owey (ding), meow... this is the alternate version of Shy Guy Falls.
Music: In the Cloud of Cloudtop Cruise (guitar alternate theme) - Mario Kart 8 Rip mindscarp 2014-06-03 | Since seemingly no one bothered recording the alternate version of track themes in this game, here is a quick rip.
