Such a missed opportunity they didnt add Zelda when all other DLC characters have a female option.

 

[Neoxon]

Comm errors everwherem

Same here, man.

 

[Draconestra]

DAMN YOU WOAHNELLY!!! That was mine!! 🤣

 

[Crayon]

Man wtf. Me n my girl were playing this using the L and R joycons, with the black LR tops on em. Now I can't take the sumbitchs off!

Yep you're not the only one.

They'll prob have more DLC

 

[ChrisD]

I will forever stay with Mario and the b-dasher. Hope to join you guys later tonight playing this with my daughter unlocking parts.

Luigi/AC Boy/Inkling Girl for life with me.
Being able to change characters in the lobby is pretty big though, so perhaps I'll actually fiddle with the whole roster over time.

A shame, as BotW Zelda would fit in really well imo.

Are the + and minus symbols the same on each joycon and cap? It's an easy mistake to make, but they're a huge pain to get off if you put them on wrong. Needs to be ++ and --.

Totally got me at the last second two races ago.

So glad that's an option.

That utter dominance.

How do I find my friend code to share?

Played online with random people (my first online Mario Kart experience). Was a ton of fun and actually surprised it was 60fps

 

[sanstesy]

Is BurningJustice already in here?

As soon as he comes on I will get outta here!

 

[Raw64life]

Started playing this game yesterday. I forgot how frustrating 150cc can be. I haven't played this game in a while, so I actually started with mirror mode right away, so I won't get confused by it later.

Already several times where I'm just racing a perfect race and then blue shell, some red shells, and that's all she wrote. Super frustrating and just nothing you can do about it.

You'll be happy to learn that I'm taking a break right now lol

From the homescreen go to your user page by clicking on your icon on the upper left side. Your FC will be in your profile.

 

[sanstesy]

Awesome! There's nothing more annoying than you getting 1st place basically every game.

 

[feel]

Aaaww you can't use Auto-acceleration in Time Trial. That sucks after you're so used to playing with it.

 

[Forkball]

If you want to add MK GAFers you raced against, don't forget you can find users you played against recently in your profile on the Switch home menu.

 

[JustenP88]

I need to figure out why I suck so bad at this because I've been scaring the shit out of my dog since I started playing online.

 

[Chittagong]

I don't understand, I try to go online now and it just hangs, or shows spectator mode, and then hangs - "communication error"

Keep trying. It'll work eventually. It does that sometimes.

Come in the battle room and get a blowjob!

 

[rec0ded1]

Time to go wildin' is the 150cc split into 2 rooms ?

 

[ParityBit]

So I have a dumb question ....

I have two of the small wheels that your Joy cons go it. How do I deal with menus and stuff if I am playing single player? i.e. do I have to use the joy cons as normal, then when I race I use the wheels?

You just use the stick and buttons as if you were using the Joycon as separate controllers I guess...?

You should be able to handle all the menus just fine with a single joycon. I've played plenty like that with the wheel by myself.

 

[RoadHazard]

Seems like at least two, yes. Don't think you can actually tell?

 

[PreyingShark]

So uh, it seems the new meta, is, uh, um...

...Just use Biddybuggy/Rollers/Acceleration Glider and any character you fucking want

I get the same time on Royal Raceway no matter who the fuck I pick (outside of babies and shit, haven't tried those yet), probably because the MT stat is just fucking absurd now. Just look at this fucking nonsense: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/13893431

What the fucking hell Nintendo.

 

[motherxwolf]

Just got this last night, can't stop playing it. Loved it on Wii u and having it fully portable is insane

I can't watch the video right now. What is the 'MT stat'?

 

[PreyingShark]

I can't watch the video right now. What is the 'MT stat'?

Miniturbo, it's a hidden stat and parts/characters with more accuracy tend to have more MT.

The video is me on 200cc TT on Mario Kart Stadium doing a purple MT across pretty much the entire long stretch near the beginning, after that first big turn, with Bowser Jr. in the biddybuggy.

 

[Ozium]

Is there a way to save a room so I don't have to enter the code every time? It saved it as favorites but when I logged on today the favorites and recommendations were all wiped :/

 

[rec0ded1]

Who let wario64 get 3rd? Shame on you.

 

[ParityBit]

Yeah but I can't use the wheel until I get into the game itself? Like there is no A or B button on the Blue (left) Joycon. So I am wondering how to make menu selections easy.

The buttons in the menus aren't labeled as A and B if I recall? I think they're denoted by a small layout of the buttons and the one you have to press is filled in whereas the others are just an outline.

Either way, you just press the one on the right for A and the one to the bottom for B. A is accept, B is cancel/go back.

This is all 100% correct. Using my wheel all by myself online right now.

[depward]

Just played two hours mostly random battle online.

This is fun!

Recaptures the fun of when vanilla MK8 was released.

 

[Killthee]

Dpad on the left joycon defaults to the abxy buttons when it's used by itself.

So you pop the joycon into the wheel, use the stick for up, down, left, right menu selection, and the dpad buttons as abxy. If you don't have to auto accelerate on you hold down the rightmost button to accelerate and turn by turning the wheel or using the stick.

 

[The Goat]

Breaking does seem crucial in 200cc, but remember you can brake while drifting now and still boost around the corners.

Ah ha! I knew I had to be missing something. Ok, will master brake-boosting ASAP!

 

[Skyzard]

My router won't allow me to go online.. Nat D..

Arggh any suggestions?

Tried setting DMZ on the Switch's ip/mac address in router settings 192.168.x.x ?

 

[ParityBit]

Excellent thanks. I got it all to work good (it was controller setup that had to be done so it knew it was a single controller)

 

[Persona7]

Arggh any suggestions?

Are you plugging a router into a router provided by your ISP? This sounds like double NAT which means you need to put the ISP router into bridge mode.

 

[Betty]

They'll prob have more DLC

I've never wanted DLC from a game as much as Mario Kart 8.

New Tracks, Karts, Wheels, Gliders and racers would be very welcome.

 

[brettchalupa]

I've been enjoying Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and this morning I woke up with a silly idea for a video: Prepare to Cry: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Lore Analysis. Fans of Dark Souls might enjoy it.

 

[03sho]

Do different tyres give you more of a speed boost at the beginning?

The reason I ask is people who start behind me end up in front after the start boost even though I have the boost too. Their boost seem to last longer

 

[13ruce]

Big tip for people farming coins:
Go to vs mode choose 2 Luigi's the green big scooter or Quad, small wheels and the plane flier.

Then select no CPU, No Items 48 races and choose Moo Moo Meadows and set Auto steer and Gas on.

You just have to press A every few minutes and you get 14-20 coins per race without doing anything.

Probably the overall acceleration stat.
