Think I like the slims better on the b-dasher than slicks.

Stepping back down from 200CC to 150CC is incredible. You're expecting it to be difficult, you reach that first corner you struggled to drift round consistently, and then... the reflexes just take over and before you know it you've won the race, easily.
So I'm getting murdered also by you guys...
Anyone else have experiences like hitting the same person say with 3 red shells In a row, but they don't actually get stopped. They don't block it, they do the spinning got hit animation, but they stay ahead of you and never stop moving.

Does the AI seem rebalanced at all to anybody else? I distinctly remember 150cc and above being an incredibly frustrating, un-fun experience, almost as bad as Mario Kart Wii. I think I only bothered to get gold on two cups in 150cc, and just played a couple rounds on 200cc before giving up. It just wasn't fun.
But I've been playing on 150cc since getting the game on Friday and it's been a blast! Much more fun than I remember having with it on the Wii U. It really seems like they must have touched up the balance somehow.
Or maybe I'm just misremembering the Wii U version? Could be, it was a while ago.

Yes...it's weird and i don't Know what It is...
It's probably lag, but usually they have an item at the back that disappears after the heat but they still do the tumble animation without losing speed.

Maybe we both are crazy but for me it feels exactly the same.

Played a bunch of this game this weekend split screen online with the GF, we had some great fun. the last 200 meters in any race is my absolute danger zone though. I can't even count how many times I've been able to see the finish line in 2nd or 3rd place and end up eating a blue shell, few reds, a horn etc, and then finishing 8th. It's really disheartening.
I also found out this way that after the first place person finishes, the blue shells aim at whoever is ahead in the race and not finished. Sad days.

Thats a tough lesson to learn. Theres sadly not much you can do about that except cross the finish line.
In my expirience, every time a shot is blocked they always appear to spin out and they always drop coins. I guess it's lag? I've just learned to accept that if it looked like I hit them but they didn't slow down, then I didn't hit them and they probably blocked the shot.
Edit: I'm thinking it's not lag but a quirk with the netcode

I took a break from GAF 150cc to unlock Gold Mario, the gold kart, and the gold tires.. all that's left now is the gold glider but I can gather the remaining 7,000 coins online so see y'all tonight.

It is an option at the kart selection menu? I suppose I just haven't seen it.
I think it's on by default because let's say you're 5 years old, you won't know what smart steering is, or that it might help you to turn it on. However if you're a 20 year old Mario Kart veteran then it's easy to know what's up and turn it off, so I think it's best on by default, personally. It's easy for me to turn off, but wouldn't be easy for a child to turn on if they felt that they needed it.

There is; it's called Mario Kart 8 on Wii U. ;p
Two items has really destroyed the middle-of-the-pack balance for me.
You have to push the button that toggles kart stats on/off, then you'll see options for motion controls, smart steering, and auto acceleration. You can also access it from the pause menu during a race.

Considering Double Dash was one of my favorite in the series I am loving the double items. Is there a way to switch which item you have selected like there was in Double Dash?

I'm using tilt controls!I'm waiting in the 150cc GAF room
This makes some sense. I'll try to make the same assumption and not rage lol.

I played all of the Mod Nation games extensively and I must say I strongly disagree. The story was abysmal and only added to the absurd loading times. The tracks were often uninspired and boring. The framerate wasn't stable, and the graphics merely alright (at least on Vita). The only thing it had was the editor, which was easy to use, and the player created content was alright.
MK8 has it beat in every single aspect, and noone has ever pined for a story in the Kart games. It's completely unneccessary.
Also, you can see the stats when picking the parts, so I don't see how it's "you're suppsed to figure it out". Apart from trying different things to see what you like best, I guess. It's not a guessing game.
Nope, just Vs. races.

Do I need to 3-star the cups to unlock everything (Gold Mario is it I guess?), or is gold enough? Does 3-starring give me anything at all?
This was answered within the last page, but no, unless you have boomerang.

Thanks! I actually did it when I had the boomerang and was a bit confused and thought I was missing something.

Fuck everything about what just happened
Ok I'll have to check that out next time I'm playing then. I strongly dislike those BS items that punish good drivers :\
it's probably somewhere in this thread....but could someone explain to me the meaning of the icons at the vehicle select screen (i think there they are)
one is antenna on/off, one is motion control/normal controls/one is the assistant so you can't drop of the track but what is the one with the R and the arrow in front of the mario?

The one who currently has the highest total score wears the crown.
That's probably auto-accelerate, so you don't have to hold A while driving.

Don't get how I'm suppose to crawl back from last place when hit with 3 red shells and a bullet bill. Every. Single. Game.

I think it should be whoever wins the current race but....I guess tournaments are like that. It's pretty dumb.
ohhhhhhh, thank you. did not know that exists..what does mario kart pro gaf think..on or off?
Ohhhh I see thanks for clearing that up for me!
It's a bit lame, I actually would rather know who won the last race
Yeah, this is the first MK title I've actually owned. I'm not enjoying this at all.
