Fair is fair. I'll take my lumps with dignity whenever they come...and I know they'll come.

ffdgh pls
I know
Heath are we all going to have to post our W/L ratios against you?
Well, to be honest, I played way less than most of you there so I think I'm doing very well with lack of time and practices.
And please let me dream.

LMFAO
In that vid I start out by doing very well. Then things sorta go to hell. I left right before the Thwomp Ruins race BTW, GGs.
I was actually wondering what were you thinking when the post-apocalyptic music was chosen lol
edit: as a test I'm actually impressed it went so smoothly. Will you be able to stream in HD in future races?
If not that's perfectly fine, I'm just curious.
that caught me off guard when I pressed play lol. only fitting it got that as background music for the room haha
edit: well youtube kept complaining about the speed I was getting when I was trying to do 720p but I can try the next set of races
...Fanmade first place beats that sound decent? Why you gotta do this to me Roo? Was hoping Moonview highway, sherbet land, and mushroom bridge would have been there too.

You'll get Mushroom Gorge again and you'll like it
It seems like the guy will make a frontrunning version for each song of previous games without one. Wii and GCN Rainbow Road (which are awesome if you ask me) are there too....Fanmade first place beats that sound decent? Why you gotta do this to me Roo? Was hoping Moonview highway, sherbet land, and mushroom bridge would have been there too.
Heck, even those outdated SNES and GBA tracks sound amazing with 1st place beats.
You can request your personal favorite but you have to wait
@Andy, I love Mushroom Gorge and I'm sure it would look awesome so I'm ok with that too

I suck at rWGM so I uploaded a ghost. If you guys could look at it later and tell me if I'm doing anything wrong then I would greatly appreciate it.
No pls, that's probably my worst course in MK history.
Bring back the GCN one instead,

Mushroom Gorge is boring.
Give me Maple Treeway! Just think of how many people you can hit with a boomerang on that little bridge. 8)

God no. Mario kart 8's bump physics alone would kill my love for that course lol.
I don't think the bridge would be an issue. DK Jungle and Yoshi Valley have bridges and they're not really really chaotic.
Now, if they place item boxes right before the bridge.. Holy shit.

Azuran pls..

Did not know that had a name.
I remember doing that on the SNES RR as well, too bad MK8 makes most of the courses wider.

They have rails. EDIT: As in, in Maple Treeway, you'd get hit by something and then somebody would bump you off.
Also, I have indeed gotten fucked on those bridges many times precisely because I had like no room to dodge a boomerang.
IntelliHeath

LMAO. Yeah, it would be so joy killer if we play frantic mode at Maple Treeway.
Do Waluigi Pinball have any narrow path?
MK7 didn't have the boomerang, piranha plant and MK8's stupid physicsThe item boxes WERE before the bridge in 7.
I meant the second bridge. The long and narrow one. Tho you're right. The last one with rails is right after the item boxes and it can get pretty nasty. The egg spinning around does not help at all.
Might as well bring back DK Mountain while you're at it.

I'm indifferent with that one but which console I forget? Is that one from Wii?
I don't mind to see Dino Dino Jungle!
Double Dash. Same place for Dino Dino jungle.

Oh that one. I was thinking of something else.

Retro courses revealed!I think they'll do the same as the first DLC pack
5 new nitro tracks and 3 retro (1 new and 2 old)
Just let any Bowser's Castle (except GBA and SNES ones) be one of them
GCN Luigi Circuit
N64 Luigi Raceway
DS Figure 8

Well. I couldn't help but wondering if they were planning to have 4 retro tracks but something happened middle of development since you can see first two tracks were retro for both cups except ExciteBike.
I wonder if they decided to nix Baby Park since items would be too chaotic for Baby Park. So they decided to go with ExciteBike with long oval track.
No please no
They could've made Baby Park as long as Excitebike if that were the case.
Baby Park was a good track in practice because its original game had items tied to specific characters.
It was chaotic in a fun way because it was only you and (maybe) your friends but it simply wouldn't work with today's items and online gameplay being a huge component now
People fail to see that.
The DS version and the Custom Tracks from Wii are living proof of that.
Without Double Dash's mechanics, that track is trash.
