Didn't unlock for me when I finished all 8 cups on 150cc. Had to finish them on 50cc for Mii to unlock. That was some serious bullshit...sooooo slow.

I think I'm missing a star from flower cup. How do you get the stars?

150 cc is too fast for me in this game. I'm still working my way through the 100cc races, but I'll join you guys if I feel the urge. Look for me - Beefy Hits
Actually you could have just done one more 150cc cup after finishing the initial 8 and the Mii would've unlocked.

So do you get anything for getting three stars on everything? I'm having a hell of a time trying to do that.
A lot easier to look at the OP.

Well, seems Worldwide races have finally reached the point of being unplayable. Last night I was in a game with a total of 4 glitchers all spamming Wuhu Moutain Loop, each one of them was from Japan and using Metal Mario. We only started off with one and then more kept joining after each race.
Also I swear this game has something against me, 1200 coins in and I've still not unlocked a single part that I actually want to use - in fact I've not even unlocked any tyres since about 200 coins in.

Spoiler regarding unlocks
Next two unlockables you're getting will be tires. (1,400 & 1,600 coins for each)
mountain loop is the stage with the glitched shortcut, isn't it?

That wasn't the case for me. I've never played on anything below 150.

That was remade for Wii. haven't put any of the same tracks in the Retro cups twice, and I wouldn't expect them to for at least another few games.
It's actually random for everyone, though at the rate he's going he probably will get some tires soon.
I had to do 50cc to get the Mii also, but if the Prima Guide is correct then you actually only have to complete Special and Lightning Cup in a class. I'm not going to go back and check, but I guess if I beat one of the last cups a second time, I would've had my mii without having to do a completely different class.
why do they make guides for kart racers anyway

uhm, where do you see how many coins you've collected?
Mario Kart Channel > click on your Mii picture on the bottom right.
Also, why do I keep getting errors when trying to play online now? I've been trying to get into a game for the past hour to no avail -________-

I'm still not sure if anyone knows how you get stars.

I'm not sure, try holding onto items instead of using them. I got a few 3 stars from that but it was in 50cc.

Because Peach being pictured with Mario is unique to this artwork, of course.
How lucky we are to have you pointing out the evils of Peach being depicted with Mario in artwork.

Anyone up for playing? I'm sitting In a lobby by myself :/
Btw Worldwide was really glitching out on me today. Besides from the usual wuhu mountain trick, people that I would pass still somehow finished in front of me. Twice I finished first but they counted me as second....
Weird.
Edit: nm girlfriend woke up. I'll play you guys either tonight or tommorrow.

OH GOD. YOU'RE RIGHT!
ONLY PEACH AND MARIO IN THE SAME PICTURE?!?!?! HOW FUCKING SEXIST CAN YOU BE CHET?! IM REPORTING YOU TO THE INTERNET POLICE AND TELLING NINTENDO ON YOU. YOU'VE GONE TOO FAR!!!
lol
It truly remains one of our greatest mysteries.
Think the formula for three stars is something like this:
+ Time spent in first, 40 points (though some claim to have gotten 3 stars even with a second place finish in 1/4 races)
- Time spent going offroad (even though some shortcuts require you to do so, it's better to just stay on the track), out of bounds (lakitu'd) or hitting obstacles/walls
I don't think items or coins figures into it, but who knows. Just try to have a clean run and watch out for that asshole Wario throwing a bunch of shit at you, then knocking you off the last turn of Rainbow Road after you've been blue shelled-RUINING MINUTES OF HARD WORK...because I've heard that can happen.

So far the new tracks seem really good. I'm really digging the Wuhu Island courses a lot. I wish they had more like this that were in sections, rather than laps. I also really love that Piranha Plant course.
Triple Stars don't seem nearly as tough to achieve as Mario Kart Wii. Wii was brutal; one off course, a couple of wall bumps, or a few too many hits from an item and it was over and you had to restart.
Mario Kart 7 seems much more forgivable. I've had a couple of very close races where I only took the lead in the last 5 seconds, but managed to pull out a triple star in the end.

Yup, and from what I've seen it's pathetically easy to do.
SNES Rainbow Road is on it's second retro cup outing, it was in Super Circuit as well.

Super Circuit doesn't count as it had every SNES track.
I'm just having a look at how the GC tracks match up to their MK 7 outing, they're similar to the cut down version you get in splitscreen mode, but there's a few differences here and there.
Actually it's first retro cup outing, since only Shell/Leaf/Banana/and the new Lightning cups count to that end. Super Circuit was just fuckawesome.

In Super Circuit, stars were given on the basis of your overall times in GP, the amount of coins collected and points overall.

Probably a mix of everything then. I ***'d every 50cc course on my first attempt.

wuhu anything is the freaking best. I like the way the shortcuts aren't really short cuts, just 'other ways' unless you play it really well.

not counting the snes courses in super circuit, have any mario kart retro courses been in more than 2 games?
No, and they still have a lot of courses to go before they run out from any game, though I doubt they'll want to go through the whole SNES tracklist, and a few N64 tracks ought to be completely reworked if they bring them over.

First ink in the face that has made me lose a match....
Dr. Prob is dominating!

Who won in the end? i don't remember nicknames, but other than Dash there was a DK player and a Shy Guy player.
*sigh* i was off to a good start too.
Damn it Internet, the first time i get a dc in the game and it's not even the game's fault!
(I hope the game doesn't have a dc %)
Btw Super Circuit is criminally underrated imo.
