Mario Kart Double Dash 16 PLAYER LAN session 2: 9 lap Baby Park races at ESA Summer 2024
17One of the many multiplayer playthroughs I've recorded in the latter half of July 2024.
It's been a tradition that at ESA Summer events, there's a couple of gaming sessions of Mario Kart Double Dash but with an actual setup to get 16 players involved.
8 Gamecube systems with 2 players per Gamecube which means 2 players sharing the same kart.
Usually it's an all cup tour with default lap count, other times it's Battle mode.
This video is simply Baby Park but with the lap counter being set to 9 laps instead of the usual 7.
Between July 19th to July 28th, I was at an event in Sweden known as European Speedrunner Assembly Summer 2024, raising money towards Alzheimerfonden (Swedish Alzhimer's Foundation). This was my first on-site event where I didn't participate in a full length run at all other than commentating an extra run and taking part in a Super Mario 64 Relay.
Fortunately, before the event, I purchased a second hand Avermedia Live Gamer Portable II Plus unit for like over 75% off the default price. This allowed me to record content WITHOUT a PC. The recorded output matches with Nintendo Gamecube which is a plus, the Gamecube had a Carby HDMI dongle making it super convenient.
Special thanks goes to Hiddenpower13 who brought with him x8 Gamecube consoles all with GCLoader installed, x8 OFFICIAL Gamecube broadband adapters (they were bought sometime before 2017 which was before the retro price hike craze on ebay like sites) and also 16 Wavebird controllers + 16 Wavebird recievers, he had a huge dedication towards the ESA Summer Mario Kart Double Dash LAN sessions.
