The funny thing is, the communities already are "private" just because they require a code that would be damn near impossible to guess. I don't see why they don't let you freely chat in communities and with friends.

Gotta bee fast
No idea, especially seeing that the 3DS has a built-in mic even! The WiiSpeak is discontinued though.

true. I just beat them all and didn't get 3 stars for any, even though I got 40 points for all.
Also, after doing that, I have one more question box left on character select screen. UH?

I just dominated on the community. That felt good. Now to unlock the few characters I have left.

Apparently you have to maintain first place for as long as you can, along with coming first in each course to get all 3 stars. Just coming in first doesn't guarantee 3 stars, lol.
This is some tough shit.

Yes.
If you can get one cheap enough sure. This Mario Kart is Mario Crack.

Any advantage to running over coins when you already have 10?

I ain't touching the community stuff until I unlock EVERYTHING.
You get a small boost and you prevent other racers from picking them up.

OK thanks.
The Nintendo recommended communities have been active all day, try those.
But I just got up and getting ready for work. (・へ・
Quote the OP and you'll see at the bottom of the quoted text some numbers hidden between tags.
I meant the GAF community. Just played online with randoms and got my butt whooped by some really good people in Japan.
Quote the OP and waay at the bottom there will be a code that will have the [ email ] tag around it. I believe it's to keep lurkers from joining.

Fucking snakers all over Coconut Mall, why is the Egg1 the only kart that can do it? It has to be a homage or something.
Snakers? WTFfffuuuuu. How can you even do it in this one?
motherfucker...banana on the line
If I'm winning and there is a banana near the line I'll always drive into it so I can do a 360 to victory.

I met my first snaker this morning! But I don't know why they bother, it's not even possible to make power sparks fast enough to make it worthwile in this version.
Jesus christ, I thought developers had to have some intelligence to be able to function in their role, but fuck me how goddamn fucking stupidly fucktarded to you have to be to think putting something like a blue shell in a finely tuned racing game like they have in Mario Kart is a good fucking idea?
I swear to god you'll be in the middle of an awesome dog fight for first place, fending off red shells, and shit, swopping place all the time with the guys behind you and the twat in eighth place and over half a lap behind gets the blue "you are not allowed to be first any fucking more button" shell and launches it, just as you are on the second to last corner and have took first place.
You then after a lap or two of awesome racing get fucked up by the blue shell and all the other ordinance fired your way and end up 7th, just in front of the little cunt who pointlessly fucked you with his blue shell.
Sorry for the swearing I'v nearly lost my shit and wrecked my 3ds a few times tonight.

I think you take your game a little too seriously, maybe.
dude mario kart is socialism....
My hands are okay but for some reason my eyes are taking the 3d in this game very well. I've actually played more in 2d than 3d which is a first for me.

I had really big problems before realizing that you can actually accelerate with Y and not only with A.

It's only worthwhile on specific courses, which they will spam until they get them. So far it's been Coconut Mall, SNES Rainbow Road, Bowsers Castle GBA, DK Pass, Toad Circuit and Luigi's Raceway N64.
Did they end up losing the race?
Ill have to try that and see if it works.
Wait, 2D or 3D? The beginning of your post makes it sound like you prefer the 3D. Unless you meant to say arent. Then the 2D makes sense heh

I'm sure this been discussed for years, but what reason do the devs give for why blue shell exists besides trolling?
Unless the race is insanely close somehow, I can't see how the blue shell benefits the 'owner'.
Probably the only thing keeping me away from picking this up right now and all the talk of 3 stars = stay in 1st as long as you can...
When has staying in first ever been the best strategy in MK?

it may have been deal with it? dunno ._.
Oops, I meant "aren't" which is odd cuz normally 3d works great for me. Luckily 3d isn't very consequential in this game.

Generally, in my observation, shortly after you've just been struck by a Blue Shell.

fine. When has staying in first early on the race ever been the best strategy in MK?
I've always thought hanging 2-3rd place until halfway through lap 3 was the way to go.

I generally stay in first for the majority of the race. A blue shell will never knock you too far back beyond repair.

Well, this was on LR64. It didn't look worthwile to me, but then again I can't remember what vehicle this guy was using.
I really like that there is a big emphasis on sparks though. On levels like Melody Motorway it's possible to get two boosts in a lot of the curves.
Speaking of which... You guys do realize that Melody Motorway is based on Wii Music right? It's the same tones
(also, I'm probably the only one on gaf that thinks Wii Music is one of the most brilliant games ever made. Oh well)CrazedProfessional

I've only witnessed it on people using the Egg1 which makes me think it's a homage to Mario Kart DS.
