Think about it guys

1] If you don't want random online Miis you can turn off that option in the Streetpass Plaza options.

2] If indeed all the online Miis would've given you a piece of puzzle you'd complete everything in half a day

3] Streetpass Miis are different from regular Miis (hatssssssssssss)

I have 50 SP hits and... about 200 Miis in the plaza, I think.
It's good that, if you save a regular (online) Mii it gets the fuck away from your plaza. or you can simply delete it, like i did with one.

With SP Miis even if you save them they don't get deleted. and it's such a rare thing that you don't want to!

I've not played MK since the SNES days so I should make nice, easy fodder for someone.

Yeah I agree about not needing region specific communities. Was getting plenty of games on the main gaf one last night between 5 and 9 in the UK and there was quite a few people from regions outside of europe joining in. If we make them region specific it's just going to discourage those people from joining.

agreed.

I didn't notice lag issues either playing with WW players. just everyone jump on the main neogaf and it should go well.

edit: how do I unlock the last character on character select? 1 up from bottom right. I've beaten no 100cc cups (that's my girlfriends job) but got gold in all 150cc. only 1 or 2 stars on all of em though.

 

[GC|Simon]

I just played wtih some people from AussiGAF and suddenly my 3DS deactivate hisself. It seems to happen when pushing the console downwards (w/o touching something). Though, it also happens in the 3DS menu. So it is not a problem of Mario Kart. Strange!

Added my code to the list. I'm based in the UK, please PM if you add me.

Spoiler

You get it for completing every cup in any CC, I believe.

Not true. I first placed every cup on 150cc and didn't get it. Does it involve

Spoiler

Mirror Mode

or the star rankings on cups?

Ah just checked, its 50cc specifically. That'll be a bit tedious if you've been acing 100/150cc!

edit: weird, just reading on at GameFAQs and some people unlocked him when doing 100cc and 150cc too... perhaps you're right and its a star related thing.

 

[Hylian7]

Wait I seriously have to go back and beat everything 50cc even if I only played 150cc?! Ughhhhhh.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

Ah just checked, its 50cc specifically. That'll be a bit tedious if you've been acing 100/150cc!

That's not it either, I haven't played any 50 cc cups but I unlocked the option already. I think I unlocked it when I beat every cup in 100 cc.

 

[radioheadrule83]

Just read further and it seems I was wrong... some people are reporting getting Mii at different times. I now have no idea how he's unlocked! Edited my earlier post.

 

[mocolostrocolos]

I unlocked my Mii by finishing all the 50CC championships.

 

[gerudoman]

I've noticed more than a few times online that I've bumped into people with a star or bullet bill and it had zero effect on them. Netcode seems a lot more iffy vs MK Wii.

I haven't seen this one, but in almost every race I see that a player in front of me touches an item box, the box is still there but by looking at the map you see that they've been given an item, it never happened to me in MKWii. And there's still the traditional player that seems to fall off the road but two seconds later is still ahead of you, due to the lag.

Same here.

Added myself to the list as well, I'm in Canada. Feel free to add me, no pm required. I have no friends on my 3DS yet so looking to change that.

Damn you bee!!! I was all ready with my Kingofgaf? More like Kingoflast but when you had to get those bad 3 red shells ;(

bad bad bad

So I assume when joining a community it only ever connects you to local games? Because every time I see you guys talking about playing and join it never connects me to a match, and only starts when other Australians are online.

I mostly connect to WW games.

Yeah, I played with a lot of across the ponders last night in the GAF community.

Whereas the Worldwide mode will allow you to join and spectate at any time, I think in community games you're gathered together into groups, and you have to wait for a group to finish a round of 4 gp matches (if they've already started racing) before you'll see them. I don't know if its different when you use the 'join a friend' thing from the OS friends menu.

Has anyone gotten SpotPass data besides the recommended communities? I'd like to have a TT race against 7 ghosts, just for fun.

 

[EatChildren]

OH MY GOD I HATE THE BLUE SHELL SO MUCH

EDIT: Thanks for the input guys.

Tons. I work in the city though, so I've got lots of ghost data.

 

[BGBW]

I'm guessing the Mii option is the last unlockable character? I am only missing one slot.

Or the first since you only need to complete a class to get it.

I got Spotpassed some ghosts in Time Trial.

So much bullshit.

Fuck you game. Fuck you.

I've got a lot of spot-passed ghosts. Hoping to get some Streetpasses today now that the game is out in NA.

Fuck you game. Fuck you.

You will say this every 2 - 3 games, and you might even close your 3DS and take a break to calm down... but you will keep coming back!

I don't understand it myself, I must be a masochist

This game is really only fun when you can convince yourself not to take it too seriously. It took a few incredibly frustrating moments yesterday to help me realize this. That doesn't mean I don't have the occasional outburst though.

It's so weird, in most competitive MP games I would be thinking about all of the cheap stuff that needs to get patched, but in Mario Kart that stuff totally makes the experience what it is. There are times when I curse the blue shell and despise it to the core but if I had the option to remove it I honestly wouldn't.

 

[CrazedProfessional]

So lonely

 

[JimboJones]

Have to wait till xmas before I can join in, the wait is painful

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

Thinking about frustrating moments, the most demoralizing thing happened to me last night in a GAF race. I was doing pretty poorly and was finishing up my final lap in fifth place out of six racers. As I rounded the final turn and headed for the finish line I heard the unmistakable sound of a blue shell headed towards me. It nailed me about 5 feet from the finish line and I watched the last place guy fly past me as I flailed around in the air. A fitting end to a crappy race, I would say.

 

[CrazedProfessional]

wifi dropped out as I was in a group of 4 other gaffers, fml.

 

[EatChildren]

It's the Mario Kart curse. It manages to be both one of the most addictive and rage educing games ever made. Where you can be in first for 90% of a race, only to have it all come undone on the last stretch of the very last match by a random blue shell.

Oh how I love/loath you Mario Kart.

 

[CrazedProfessional]

Hate Kart 7.

I've also noticed that when it rains it freakin' pours. A blue shell is rarely enough, it seems.

 

[Bumhead]

I honestly don't mind the up and down nature of these games. There's a good feeling that anyone can always have a chance of winning, and playing Mario Kart it never feels like a procession where one guy creates an unasailable lead.

I had a couple of GAF races last night. Came 7th or 6th out of 7 in every race in the first 4 races. Second set of 4 I managed to win a race and came second overall, without blue shell or the like.

Just my opinion, mind.

Will add people from the list shortly.

 

[Chorazin]

Last night in a GAF match I got: Blue shell, lightning, red shell, fell off track...halfway through lap 3.

The worst is when you fall of the track and as you are being placed back on it someone rams into you and knocks you right back off.

THIS!

I think the goal is to be in second place for 90% of the race and then jump into first at the last second when the 1st place guy is getting shell-shocked.

 

[BGBW]

Packing up at work so I'll be home soon. I'll be adding everyone on the list. It would be a bit silly if I didn't.

Either that or have a small enough lead that you can slam the brakes and share a slice of that blue shell goodness to a few of the guys behind you.

It's a classic tactic. Works a treat.
