I Made the Map Nintendo Didn't for Mario Kart World

Hello, yes, this is actually a video about a modern game from Shelby from Tech Tangents.

Okay, so this is a weird one. While I was on my break the Switch 2 had just come out and I was playing a bunch of Mario Kart World. Apparently I am incapable of not "doing something" and I ended up making an online map ( https://mkw.techtangents.net/ ) of all the collectables in the game. Originally I was at most going to make a second channel video about it but then two things happened:

1. The map started getting traction all on it's own after I posted it in a few small places. I figured if anyone was going to make a video about it after that, it should probably be me.

2. The end of the Stop Killing Games ( https://www.stopkillinggames.com/ ) campaign is very close and this gave me a gaming related topic that could actually reach the audience that needs to hear about it.

So I decided to make a main channel video out of it instead of a second channel video (this would have been the 3rd second channel video in a row as part of my break but that's over now I guess). This is now a deep look at what the shortfalls of the game are the lead me to make the map, what the map is and can do, and some details about how I made the map from scratch in plain HTML/JS/CSS. I really did not plan on making a video out of this topic but there are too many things aligning for me to pass this up.
