The shortcut on Yoshi Circuit is easy. You're probably going to fail the first time because there's no way you could see that coming, but after that you know that you have to drift into it. Very good shortcut too.
Ice Outpost has three shortcuts I believe, and if I recall if you choose the first one it'll drop you off right after the second one so you have to choose between the two. The second one is just an easy drop to the right like halfway through the level. Third one is right before the finish line and is pretty risky. First one you have to drift off to the right; feels like the second shortcut is better.

Trying that shortcut for the first time online was a terrible idea -_-

Yeah, it's kind of weird how having one banana/green shell is preferable to having three. Three red shells is best of the game though; no complaining when you get that.
Play through all the levels in time attack first; easy way to try out all the shortcuts. And looking at the store names on Yoshi Circuit while at it.
Never even tried; don't see the point myself.

Excite bike with a few more laps would really be awesome in frantic. You can really go from 6th to 1st to 6th again in a matter of seconds.

The new DLC is fantastic so far. I love the reimagined tracks and it's awesome playing as the new characters. I can't wait for more Nintendo.
Easier to make gifs, showing people certain replays for fun, etc.
Since they didn't pay for it/can'tdownload it, nope.

Good games guys, most of the new tracks are incredible IMO. And so fast...
I'll be back tomorrow!

I just wish it had as many laps as Baby Park.
When you get a moment everyone should go watch a replay on each of the new tracks in slow motion to get a grasp of just how much incidental detail Nintendo has stuffed into each one.
F-Zero, in particular, is stunning. I saw a flowing river, a desert area, Helipads and Biodomes on top of skyscrapers, jets flying in formation, a ringed moon, and all kinds of interesting buildings. Also a "Show me your moves" Captain Falcon billboard as well as rotating billboard featuring F-Zero ships.
Not only that, but the replay camera angles Nintendo chooses are inspired, brilliantly framing your character and the track itself with the background, and usually orienting the camera to gravity so that you can see just how upside-down you really are, which you can't tell while racing, obviously.
This game is ludicrously good. Makes me sad that this might be the all-time peak of MK. It might not get any better than this, it really mightn't.

After F-Zero GX, it's so weird to see an HD version of the F-Zero world in the SNES style rather than the GX style. I loved GX, but I have to say that what Nintendo has pulled off here is quite masterful. It really feels like the old-school F-Zero in 3D HD.

Really? I guess it is just really noticeable in Excitebike for me to notice it right away.
Communication error, and I foresaw it because of long item spins...

You don't need to add money to your account at all, you can just pay it directly from your bank account just like with every other service.
Try purchasing it and it should give you the option of adding needed funds if you use a credit card.
