Community is nowhere near as good as just doing normal Worldwide games, at least with the latter you can leave after you have had enough, with Community, you have to do a stupid GP, even when you have been 1st in 2 races, only to come bottom 2 after being blasted by people who were at the back of the pack. Stupid.

Good games. Can't shake the frustration of actually having a good race then in the last 5 seconds getting smashed with an unavoidable blue shell and coming in last within seconds. Still, fun

Don't wake him up.
I got gold on all cups in 150cc. Feels good mang. Also played a shitload of online, which is great. But I hate to be right about one thing: no single-player Versus sucks. I'd love to play just Bowser's Castle, against opponents with items, but I'm stuck playing through half of the Special Cup first, or going through god knows how many races online before my vote is picked.
I swear, Nintendo is like an autistic genius, brilliantly talented but unable to grasp social norms. Here you have this incredible gameplay and track design, these spectacular graphics (which look absolutely fucking INCREDIBLE in 3D), and yet... Nintendo gimped the most basic of customization options, namely, the ability to play a single race against the computer. Sigh.

They were under quite some time pressure. Which explains some of the things they left out like leaderboards, proper ghost downloads, replay viewing and challenges.I got gold on all cups in 150cc.

It's a good Mario Kart but not the most complete.

The spotpass ghost data thing is more encouraging than I thought it would be. Beating seven ghosts at once is pretty nice.

First time you just ran into me. Second time was my fault lol.
Awesome, congrats! That's .005 seconds faster, right?

I give up. I always get disconnected.
Just happened to me too. One race and then disconnected. I'm so tired of seeing "A communication error has occurred". I forwarded the port someone mentioned earlier. This is the only game I'm having this issue with.

1st place tie with Farscape... hey that's good enough for me!
What's a good kart combo for high acceleration, decent speed, very good off-road, yet also decent handling? I don't have all the kart parts unlocked yet, but I want to know what combo would be good for me once I do unlock them all. I like lighter characters that have high acceleration, but I also like having good off-road so I can take shortcuts without being slowed down too much. I never really payed much attention to stats in previous Mario Kart games, so it's all kinda overwhelming to me, lol.

Here's a tip for people that want to learn the tracks and be competetive online. Do the time trials and race against the ghost from the dev. This will show you how to ace tracks.

Any trick to getting slipstreams? I used to be able to get them often in MKWii, but I feel like I'm losing a fair few community races since everyone drives past like I'm standing still but my slipstreams break really easily.
man my second online game and I was dominating the whole race until the very end when yoshi somehow caught up to me, and made a perfect bob-omb throw 3 seconds before the finish line and knocked me into the lava putting me in 6th. I wasn't even mad it was so pro.
also in the Mario Kart channel it says i have 3 wins and 7 losses, although I don't remember playing 10 online games yet.... anyone notice discrepencies in their W/L??

I think it is counting all the people you are racing against.

That was possibly my worst race ever. Kept running into walls and stray bananas everywhere.

The wins are how many people you beat during a race, and loses is how many people you were behind of.

It's probably because of the large increase of players over the weekend. Especially since yesterday was the NA launch.storafötter;33203487 said:I am getting too many errors now

I actually went and beat it easily when I removed the slick wheels off my kart, which I found odd as slick wheels give a lot of speed but the crap handling and possibly the rain on the track itself seemed to hinder more than just standard turning.
Methinks I gave it to much credit, it was kicking my ass at first though leading me to wonder if ice and rain affect certain wheel types more, does the off road stat factor into this as well?
