It's auto-gas. Basically just presses the a button for you.

Damn...I started downloading the game 14 hours ago. I had several crash this morning and had to manually restart the DL. I come back from work only to discover my DL has crashed again. I am using my phone with H+. The connection sseems OK. I have downloaded Zelda with no problem a few days ago. Any advice anyone?
AH gotcha, thanks.
On a side note, kind of bummed everything is unlocked off the bat. Still having a blast though
Yeah, on my TV there's no contest. The game looks so much better compared to the Wii U one.

Not the parts! There are soooo many Kart pieces to unlock via coins, and all of them have different attributes and change colors depending on your character. They're the meat of the unlockables and there's a lot to find.
I haven't actually used the feature, so I'm not 100% sure, but I would assume no. I assume it begins accelerating as soon as the countdown ends.

On my oled 65" the wiiu one was disturbingly bad looking. Too much aliasing. This one looks really nice
I had zero problems last night when i was playing from my bed and my wifi router is located in my living room.
playing with one bar. it's fine.
From Amazon, regarding my order stuck at "shipping soon":
"Upon checking your order details, I see that your package is already shipped and will be delivered by the end of Friday, April 28, 2017.
I realize that you find the status as not yet shipped, but I guess this is due to some technical glitch that the status is not updated yet. But, I've confirmed that your order is shipped and will be soon delivered."
I'm going to respond and ask for a tracking number as I still have my doubts. Sucks that UPS doesn't usually get here until 3 so I won't know until much later today...

Still "preparing for shipment," so...
I'm fucked.
I'm fucked.
Played some Dolphin Shoals just now and, to be honest, I'm more impressed by the graphics on display in handheld mode than I have been for most current-gen titles. It's incredible how sharp it all looks and the lighting is amazing.
Too tired to play much more now but I'm gonna join the GAF group later. Need to figure out which kart is best for battle mode, one I was just playing with had both poor handling and way too little acceleration.

It looks really good and I also find it a bit more playable. Could be the ultra low latency or having the screen closer to my eyes. Probably both.

First time ever playing this game. I ran through the Mushroom Cup tracks in portable mode Time Trial. It *feels* so good. Now I see what the hype was about when it came out on Wii-U. Can't wait to dig in later after work when I have more time.
My four year old is going to lose his mind over this game!

The defend part is at least. Some people don;t realize that you can drag items behind you to use as a shield.
Make sure you drift around every corner.
You should only use the brake button on 200cc. You can take every corner on 150cc and below without braking.
Maybe start by using lighter characters. They have better acceleration and handling than heavier characters.
Are codes bought from Amazon Japan region free?
Or do I have to do some wizardry with Japanese eShop accounts to redeem them?
You just have to change region in your nintendo account. Then enter the code in the eshop, dl, and then just put your region back. Typing this probably took longer than it actually takes to do.
The annoying part is more the creation of an amazon.jp account using a japanese address.

So what are all the ways that the physics/stats affect the actual gameplay? Do heavier characters bump the lighter characters further if contact is made, or is it just stuff like acceleration stats?
Also how "felt" is the stats differences anyway? Can you actually tell a difference when racing from one "build" versus an opposite build?

Oh sweet, thanks
Amazon UK have flapped my delivery so thinking as a last resort to just get digital so I can play after work.
Not wizardry, but yeah it's easiest to just create a Japanese eShop account and create a user on your switch to connect to it. All users have access to the game and such. It's like a 2-4 minute one time process after which buying games from Japan' eShop is almost as easy as buying it from your own region's.
Note this doesn't work if you have funds in your eShop. Hence why most just create a second account. Especially where it's really hard to get eShop cards for the exact same amount as the titles you spend them on. Entering game codes is easy to handle, but if you ever purchase from the shop directly you're going to want a second account.

Amazing
Every stat has an in-race effect. Your guess that heavies have more push is correct. Traction determines how much speed you retain going off track, acceleration and speed are self explanatory. The kart creation system is very robust in my eyes and is actually my favorite part of the game.
Lighter characters tend to have tighter handling and higher acceleration, whereas heavies have greater max speed and more weight for knocking people around. Plus the kart parts changing color with your character essentialy makes creating a layout "Fashion Kart" for me.

loving this so far! I do wish though that you could choose want kind of battle mode you want to queue up for instead of always running through the playlist
Is there not already tournaments that are set to just one battle mode?
Damn, that happened with my switch. It's kind of nice that Nintendo releases things on fridays since we get them for the weekend, but if the shipments delayed we don't have it for the whole weekend.

Played a couple vs cpu last night before bed. Wow game is amazing and as someone who hasn't played a MK since N64, game is really fun. I can see myself losing many, many hours to this.
