So you have to beat every time trial for gold wheels?
Seems tedious

Yeah, it sucks. Today's been terrible for me, had to give up at one point after four consecutive com errors on join. Barely any in the GAF 150cc tournament though.

If you go off-road mid-drift it cancels your mini turbo, so I sssume they do that to help people with steer assist drift.

My results after just a handful of races (oops)
337/500 podium finishes is not bad, sooo many of those 2nd places were firsts until a blue shell on the last corner/straight -_-

1208 races.
1st: 500
2nd: 263
3rd: 137
41% of me finishing first in any particular race.
74.5% of me obtaining a podium finish in any particular race.
I'm pretty happy, considering how often I play against really competitive people in GAF and WW.

I got Gold Mario. I did all of it except for Rainbow Road without smart steering, which I beat the moment I turned it on after several attempts. Thankfully the music itself was a treat Rainbow Road or not. Of course, the next track I played online was Cheese Land, thanks game.
I was looking at builds for 150cc and eventually 200cc when it starts popping up online for Gold Mario. Anyone see any issue with Mr. Scooty (seems to have the same stats as biddybuggy), rollers, and cloud glider? That gives me a lot of acceleration and handling and was my build for 200cc, except shy guy instead.
Why has discussion on this game slowed down significantly? The Zelda thread is on OT3, but this one has been moving a lot slower. It's only been out for a short amount of time and sold well, so I can't imagine people are tiring of it.

You unlock kart pieces via collecting coins.
Next time you build a kart setup you'll see the unlock.

How does this work, only for the Standard Kart? Somehow equip them in the Kart selection screen I assume.

Kart selection screen. You'll unlock new carts, wheels and gliders.
It's very obvious what the new unlocked item is when you see it.
EDIT: You can collect coins from any mode.

Sometimes the items can be a pain in the ass (the red shell is extremely annoying to me solely because it flies over pits). lol
It can be so defeating to drop all the way into 12th place in the 3rd lap when you were in 2nd or even 1st because you got hit by fifteen bazillion items in the span of 3 seconds.
I wish the invincibility frames would kick in earlier and last a little longer because watching my character helplessly flail around while being pummeled can be a bit annoying sometimes.

Yeah I hate this, once you get hit it's so easy to get hit over and over without being able to do much. I'd like to an increasing invuln time for each hit, but it's arguable that this kind of thrashing belongs in MK.
Probably a more fun if the offenders are in the room with you to yell at... or strangle. >_>MisterGrey3000

Yeah, there is a weird kind of fun involved in it.
Sometimes I'm just busting a gut after getting pummeled because it looks ridiculous to see all kinds of crazy things like explosions, red shells, and piranha plants toss my character around...but when I feel like I'm kicking butt and suddenly find myself in 12th place after being hammered by multiple items consecutively I lose interest.

Not sure what is wrong with mirror mode but 200cc def needed to fuck off

Finally finished 200cc cups. Wasn't as painful as I imagined. 200cc actually adds a fair bit of depth by bringing braking into the equation and forcing track mastery. You have to know when and when NOT to drift, do tricks and take boosts, as opposed to just using those things all the time without thinking.
I won my first online race and battle, then never won again.
After about 150 online races, I still haven't won a single time
Got second a couple of times, but never won.

What's your VR total?
I raced two Japanese players yesterday who were both over 10,000. The races were super tight, lots of fun.

Beat all the staff ghosts in 150, earning myself a set of gold tires, which was the last unlock I needed! It took a lot of patience and practice, but it feels pretty good knowing that I'm progressively getting better at the game and slowly learning the tracks.

Damn, well done! Grats.
