How do you win car parts from streetpass? Come in first in the Mii's Grand Prix?

 

[andylsun]

So, do I stand a chance against any of you without having unlocked half the stuff. I would like to play online now that I have some extra free time, but I feel like most of you will have a massive advantage.

I've only completed the 50cc cups and am having a blast online.

 

[Koodo]

Open lobby with 6 people! Join up.


Edit: room started.

 

[andylsun]

2 people so far in a room waiting for more players

 

[SecretMoblin]

Thanks for the races, folks!

I'm terrible. ^_^

 

[Skiesofwonder]

Sorry didn't mean to press start guys :/ my 3DS freezed up for a bit and I was pressing random buttons to unfreeze it lol

 

[Ysiadmihi]

Random disconnects from communities are infuriating. Can't believe the matchmaking is still so bad a month after the game came out. Guess it's here for good (like the Maka Wuhu glitch).

 

[Dr Prob]

What happened to the community? Checked it this morning and it was at 600+ players, now it's back down to 550.

That's like...300 people who have gone missing.

 

[Crumpet Trumpet]

6 players in a lobby right now

edit: room started

 

[Skiesofwonder]

*sigh*

Koodona is still a second or two ahead of me I see. Next match will be different though!

 

[Crash Station]

Jesus, you guys are brutal. Can't stay in 1st for more than a few seconds. Heh.

I'm missing 1000 points :|

 

[Skiesofwonder]

No one took advantage of the Maka Wuhu trick.

Very classy NeoGaf.

Edit: wow red turtle over water at DK jungle on last lap.

 

[SmithnCo]

Hahaha lol wat

 

[Crash Station]

THAT FUCKIN BANANA!

 

[Crumpet Trumpet]

Hahaha lol wat

Bullet Bee-ing up into 1st

 

[Skiesofwonder]

Wow how in the he'll did you pass me Koodona?!?!?

 

[Koodo]

Mushroom Gorge? With a golden mushroom.

 

[Unicorn]

Tried the gyro controls.

What the fuck were you thinking Nintendo?

 

[SmithnCo]

Damn devious bananas.

 

[Ysiadmihi]

I dunno who S_exy Nerd is, but if the only way you can squeak out a win is by Maka Wuhu glitching, kindly take yourself to WW mode.

Oh, I didn't realize that person glitched. That was lame.

 

[Skiesofwonder]

Lol nothing like a battle for the top at Luigi's Raceway. Right Medley and Crumpet?

Edit: to clarify I believe they had placed in first or second all three races except the last at Luigi's Raceway which they came in at last and second to last.

 

[Invisible Man]

Sorry about that guys. Won't happen again.

 

[Grokbu]

So I'm considering getting this. Is there any game breaking lag when playing with people around the world, or people with slow internet?

 

[Franklinator]

So what exactly is this Maka Wahu glitch? I've never played on the course in multiplayer, so I haven't seen anyone do it

I get disconnected every now and then, but other than that it's been fine for me. And my internet speed is pretty bad

You drive off the edge at a certain spot and Lakitu resets you to another part of the course, ahead of where you were.

 

[Skiesofwonder]

It's not like we can boot you or anything.

That's why I'm surprised no Gaffers did it on the previous race we had there.

 

[Freezie KO]

Sorry, kak.

 

[Franklinator]

Ah, that sucks. I thought it was a pretty cool course while playing in single player, so it's lame that people are able to exploit it

Yay it would be my fav if it were not for that.

DK Jungle is my current fav BTW.

Nice, sounds good enough. Thanks!

 

[Skiesofwonder]

Thanks smith for the bomb that slide me into the pit.

Thanks A LOT.

Edit: looks like everyone is leaving. I'm headed over to some WW matches.

hehehe

 

[Koodo]

Open lobby with 4 people! Come to get slain!

 

[Skiesofwonder]

Nice, sounds good enough. Thanks!

If you like Mario Kart then pick it up for sure. It's the best MK yet IMO.

Edit: I love playing WW matches, it makes me feel like I'm a master at this game.

 

[Freezie KO]

Ain't gonna let 3 blue shells hold me down.

 

[Grokbu]

If you like Mario Kart then pick it up for sure. It's the best MK yet IMO.

Yeah, i'm very tempted to do just that right now. The main reason I've been holding off on it was because of having no one to play with.
But then I realised that there's online, heh.

 

[Vustadumas]

Fucking eh, this game makes me nuts. Horrible blue shell timing, every fucking time. Good racing equates to you getting screwed :/

 

[Ysiadmihi]

I've gone back to playing MK Wii a bit and it's amazingly refreshing how much more it rewards good driving. Blue shells are still problematic of course, but you're able to build substantial leads through skill so it's not nearly as bad.

 

[Grokbu]

Oopsie! Nvm.

 

[Raitosaito]

Fucking eh, this game makes me nuts. Horrible blue shell timing, every fucking time. Good racing equates to you getting screwed :/

I realized that today after everyone instead tried to be 2nd, or when I had a big lead in 2 races and lost due to a blue shell...

Single player this problem is non-existant.

Patch this Retro!

 

[KidAmnesiacs]

I've been lurking here for awhile.

First post.. anyone wanna play in the community 150cc all items?

 

[IceMarker]

Gonna keep reposting this to remind you all we have a *very* convenient GAF-only online chat that makes racing against GAF and communicating with each other less of a chore. (Bookmark it!)

If you have any problems just PM me or post here as I have control over room settings. Also, if anyone would like to, you can nominate people for being a moderator there as well.

Oh I dunno, being in first usualy allows you to get away from everyone. Being in 2nd and 3rd leaves you more likely to get item'd to death since you would presumably be closer to the main pack.

Perhaps this should be added to the OP?

I guess it depends on the course, but if you fall off a cliff due to a blue shell no matter what the lead is you are still in a pretty bad position.

 

[KidAmnesiacs]

EVERYONE IS TOO GOOD.

 

[Chet Rippo]

I finally got off my ass and added it to the OP.

 

[Instro]

Well sure but I think falling off a cliff in general pretty much screws you, and just about any item can cause that to happen. I just don't feel that blue shells are enough of a deterrent to make me think that trying to avoid the lead until late is a good idea. In my eyes, being in first basically allows you to avoid a significant portion of attack items, so being vulnerable to a blue shell isnt a bad tradeoff. Particularly now when they appear less often, and generally hit a few other racers on the way up, they are not totally crippling.

Thats just my experience though, I've been screwed over a lot more by items other than the blue shell, so its not my biggest worry.

 

[Freezie KO]

Full room w/ GAF. Gonna get wrecked.

GG, everyone.

*mumble* gravijah...

edit again:

GG, all. I better quit while I'm ahead (by one point).
