I don't understand the fascination with Takamaru.

Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel. Yabuki turned off voice chat in Mario Kart races. True artists of their time.
Once Isabelle is released, all the other characters are getting the shaft.

Amazing DLC. Just playing single player for now to get the hang of the new circuits. Of course, the CPU cheats as always. Fuck it.
My track opinions.
1. Mute City: everything is masterful in it. From the intro race theme, to the amazing track design fun and fast as hell, to the incredible mute city theme rendition, and the incredible graphics (Animated captain Falcon billboard saying show me your moves lol). And then, if all of this wasnt already amazing, you have the snes f-zero results theme. Cherry on the cake, perfect.
2. Excitebike: This track is frantic, random and fun, and you can be a master on it if you know how to chain the jump tricks well. And my eyes cry everytime I hear the rendition of one of my favourite NES themes longer and remixed. Thanks you MK team.
3. Hyrule field: beautiful, playing it is fun, the song is awesome. All that fanservice. I love that the object wheel has the chest theme fastforward lol
4. Yoshi Circuit: Those crazy turns are super fun when you know how to make them. Just a tip for people having problems with it. There are multiple chicanes at the end where you dont need to turn, take advantage of them.
5. Dragon Driftway: I like the Lakitu decors, the track is relatively fun, not the best, but not bad either.
6. Wario's mine: Its not really that bad, but a little on the boring side.
7. Rainbow Road SNES: meh (like the majority of SNES circuits) but fun to play. I like the new village below it.
8. The polar thingy: Right now, against the CPU, I fucking hate this track. The majority of twists are like the last one in the Rainbow Road WiiU track when you ride a motorbike. Doesnt help that the CPU takes advantage of it and converts it in a blue and red shell zone, with all the players trying to help the racer in second place behind you. 3 times Ive played it, 3 times it happened. Maybe is better on real multi, because Ive seen some neat shortcuts I still need to lear porperly.
About the characters, I really like the 3 of them becuase they have more unique animations than the retail ones. The dialog of Cat Peach is just PrrrrFect.

Excitebike legit reminds me of Baby Park sometimes.
It's just a silly holdover from the SmashGAF days, don't pay too much mind to me.

If you preordered then it should be downloaded by now if you have your Wii U set up to update in standby mode. Just insert the game.

Some people have been going around claiming that the VR system has been changed to the way it initially was.
If that was the case then it was temporary. I paid close attention during these WWs I did just now and the gains and losses were pretty much exactly the same as before the patch. :/

You have to quote the opening post for the code. It's the Frantic gaf race or something.

Some of these races, it's like the definition of everything going wrong.

Also Link's weight class I believe is the same as Rosalina and whoever else is in that group. A Wario/Morton/Bowser he is not.

No hesitation.
I got hit by a bullet bill, a green shell, and two stars in the span of around 7 seconds in that last race.

So how do these tracks work playing online? Does everyone get to play them or does it check who has what tracks in the lobby?

Fatass/Falcon/Slicks/Heavy Glider is actually pretty much a top tier combo.
I still prefer the pipe frame for its handling but it's still a perfectly viable combo.
