He doesn't need to be since he's raced you in the past. I only have Toronto-GAF on my list but I join other GAFers in WW all the time.

Alright guys I'm done for now. I can't deal with Mirror DK Mountain
I don't think so. I posted my friend code in the 3DS friend code thread but not here.
I'm 0130-2087-2081, so if any of y'all wanna add me just shoot me a PM. I'm going to be playing this for years, because I have no life, etc.

Just got a 3DS and this game today. Havent gotten a chance to play it yet cause I decided to let it fully charge first but then I thought it was a great idea and checked for a system update so this is taking forever. Can I close the lid while its on the dock or will the update stop?

Given the popularity of Mario Kart DS, I'm surprised at how many people online don't use that technique. It's downright nasty. ;-)

I've been playing with some gaffers on Worldwide but if you're in a community you'll have to post here that the lobby is open or else everyone gets fragmented.

Panjeet here, those were some great matches we just had. I actually didn't do as bad as I thought I would against ya'll and all the matches were pretty close. Fun times.

Especially if we flood a room and end up with no Wuhu glitch spammers. I wish there was a feature that let you join a WW race with any other member of a community, even if they aren't on your friends list.

Finally sat down with the game yesterday and man the tracks are awesome! Shortcuts abound everywhere and different pathways makes you think if you should travel the slightly longer distance for those coins or just cut the path as close as possible. I need to play the game a few more times before joining gaf games!

I wish there was a "chill the fuck out" or "patience young one!" canned response in this game :-(

My 3DS wheel arrived today. Really great fit and build quality, it even provides bigger L and R triggers.

More impressions please! I'm considering picking up a couple to use at home. 3DS gets uncomfortable to hold real quick. I like the idea of nice handles to grip and big shoulder buttons.

OK, here are some more impressions on the 3DS wheel.
The most important part of the design for me are the bits that stick out at the bottom, the "horns" as I will call them. These "horns" actually give the last three fingers (other than your index finger and thumb) on each hand something to hold on to, and prevent the corners of the device sticking into your palms. It totally removes the palm pain, as well as the possibility of getting pins and needles - at least in my situation.
The shoulder triggers are a nice bonus, and have almost as much movement as the standard triggers - definitely no more movement than the standard as they simply press the standard triggers. They are hinged towards the middle of the unit which means they feel more responsive towards where your fingers are. They have a different feel and size, which can take a small amount of getting used to.
The circumference of the unit is good. All in all the wheel a couple of cm less wide compared to the Wii wheel. The thickness of the grip itself is slightly fatter than the Wii wheel. The curve of the grip is rounded on the back side of the wheel, and flat on the front.
You put the 3DS into the wheel shoulder buttons first, and there is some soft rubber to make the unit fit perfectly just above the "horns". All in all, it's excellent. Everything you would expect from an officially licences peripheral, and up to Hori's high standards.
One last thought: I think this makes the game feels more like a home console game rather than a handheld, which is a nice side effect.
Here's a comparison photo 3DS wheel vs. Wii wheel:

pro tip, you don't unlock anything in 50 and 100cc so there's no reason to play those cups.
Aw fuck. Might as well just finish up 50 to have a breezy tour of the tracks and the move up to 150
You need to win every cup in every class for dat true ending.

Dateline: Earlier today. Racing on (new) Mario Circuit in a WW. In first at that part before you go into the castle. Hit the jump, off the shroom, through a coin, in the middle of the track and the game tells me I'm out of bounds, laying the groundwork for a screwjob you wouldn't believe. And one I don't recall the details of, but it was bad!
Coincidence? I think not.

was trying to play last night and it was communications errors all over.
I suspect that it's related to rage quits or people leaving and the game just not handling it right. Does it use servers or is it peer to peer? Is peer to peer even possible on a DS?
anyway I watched about 7 live races and got comms errors after every one, usually got halfway through a race before everyone disappeared and then comms errors.

Nah. It's all good. It was that blue shell at the finish line for Neo Bowser City that gets me. No third lap blue shells!

I'm guessing you get the stars by beating every cup with a given star rating? I saw one player tonight who had a bomb with a star on top instead of the normal stars, what's that about?
I'm been really impressed, over the weekend I played a ton of online multiplayer and I haven't seen a single person use the Maka Wuhu glitch, even when someone suggests it and it gets chosen.

Most likely something to do with Battle Mode rating.
Sure it wasn't the black wheel badge?
Late on this but GGs. I'll have to add you to my friend list (when I find the friend code list).
