But another Mario and peach is silly, imo, since this time it's just them in different clothes, at least the metal varients seemed like doppelgangers or something. I would've rather seen Birdo and Nabbit in their place. Another guy and girl midweight character, a vet returning and a newcomer from a recent game

Nabbit being in this game is the biggest omission, imo. Well, him and Bowser Jr., but he got Smash. Dude's already playable in a mainline Mario (er...Luigi) title by his second appearance, he deserves to be in Mario Kart. King Boo is another weird omission since it'd go perfect since LM2 just came out.

Not sure why people are so opposed to the series opening up to non-Mario franchises. The track design possibilities seem wonderfully endless if they were to do so.

Mario Kart 8 did some awesome course-work with areas completely made up from thin air, and I think some people just like the simplicity of it being Mario-only. I can understand people being apprehensive about messing with the formula.

I think the best option would be for Nintendo to evenly split it, make half the characters and courses Mario and Mario Kart-style locations, while the other half are guest characters, and Nintendo-themed courses. And stick to the Nintendo characters that don't feel as off when paired with Mario in a Mario-centric game. Link? OK, more so if it was Toon Link though honestly. But I think it'd be weird seeing Captain Falcon or Marth appear in-person as a driver.

Thanks.

Holy shit Wario's Mine course looks SO bad on Off-TV Play. Compressed to hell and back.

I wonder if Nintendo nerf Green Shell's auto aim because I noticed that Green Shell haven't trying to hit me.

Rainbow Road SNES is brutal

I think tracks like Dragon Driftway present a pretty convincing argument in favor of the kinds of neat tracks that can be made when keeping things (more or less) franchise-neutral.

imo, the way things are being handled with this game is pretty good as is, with other Nintendo franchises being included, but as special guests.

 

[theechrisfox]

That F-Zero track is the first time I enjoyed a F-Zero game.

Mute City is by far my favorite track now! The coin thing is so perfect.

 

[Saint Gregory]

All three sand stages? We done goofed GAF.

Edit: I thought someone said they fixed invisible items?

Not going to lie, that being a Murasame-themed level would have ruled though. Imagine Mario Kart 8's rendition of the Murasame Castle theme.

 

[Burning Justice]

And of course now I have to wait since Justice took my spot after I got DC >.>

Ah, sorry about that. I'd been waiting in the room for about three races when suddenly I got in.

It affected me last night as well. :<

If they made it Mysterious Murasame Castle themed, I feel like people would've complained about how it has nothing to do with the original game, lol. It'd feel kinda arbitrary.

Nintendo doesn't really have much in the way of Chinese-esque aesthetics. Like, what even is there? Young Cricket in WarioWare? Chai Kingdom from Mario Land?

 

[Shun]

Please make this a one wheeled bike.

Add Warp Star and Dragoon karts as well. We don't need to play as Kirby but please carts.

 

[Eiolon]

After playing all the new courses, I am going to be honest and say I am a little underwhelmed. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed getting some more variety and the price was really good. But when you sell DLC with a "Triforce" cup, you should actually have 4 Zelda themed tracks. There would be plenty of options, such as a Death Mountain track that would be similar to Mount Wario, or racing through the Lost Woods, Lake Hylia, Gerudo Valley, Hyrule Field, etc. Like-wise, there should have been an F-Zero cup with 4 tracks since the chance of having a dedicated game is going to be slim.

 

[Omnicent]

to to hop online. go easy on me, havent had much practice on the new tracks

 

[Saint Gregory]

Who picked random?

Edit: OMG why???

Roo where's the DLC tracks only tournament?!?!?!

 

[Grizzo]

I ate, changed my clothes to fit the context.

Currently installing the update.

[PreyingShark]

Hi Greg

[Kade]

Whoa. I want that shirt.

 

[Saint Gregory]

Hi Greg

Nice of you to join the fun

Was there anyone who didn't fireball me?

 

[Teknoman]

Oh man I kept hitting the same person with items over and over :X

lol

Someone superhorned me right off the first ramp x_x

 

[Azuran]

Hi Greg

EDIT: Azuran if it chooses you you're dead this is my favorite DLC track FFF-

But Moo Moo is my 2nd favorite track

 

[Saint Gregory]

But Moo Moo is my 2nd favorite track

We've been racing it for 6 months man!

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

Oh good, it didn't pick Toad's Turnpike.

 

[Edag Plata]

Whoa whoa whoa hold on....

I just 3-starred 150cc for the Egg Cup and it has 100cc and 50cc as 3-starred too. Was this always the case in the game or is this new with the DLC?

I think that was always the case

 

[Teknoman]

The hell was that explosion mid race lol? Then double red shelled right after

 

[entremet]

I think that was always the case

I wish I knew that previously lol. So much time wasted.

 

[MrDaravon]

I wish I knew that previously lol. So much time wasted.

Same here, holy shit

 

[Azuran]

Hypno pls. Was that back throw truly necessary? >.>

 

[Omnicent]

that green shell got me good Griss, but praise be to red shells =P

 

[Edag Plata]

always been the case

I think that was always the case

I can't believe I never knew this and wasted my time...

It doesn't work where mirror knocks out the other three, right? Just 150cc knocking out 100cc and 50cc, right?

 

[PadWarrior]

I hope you guys are still on later tonight.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Hypno pls. Was that back throw truly necessary? >.>

Well you kept attacking me for no reasons so I think what he did is right thing.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

That bullet bill lasted for so long lol

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

That was way too close. o_o

 

[Azuran]

Well you kept attacking me for no reasons so I think what he did is right thing.

But I only discriminate when Roo or Exentryk are playing :/

 

[Burning Justice]

Dragon Driftway is not kind to inside drift at all. I can take the turns without crashing now, but I always end up way on the outside of the track.

 

[mktrOOp]

Mute City is ridiculously good and the results music is even better. <3

 

[Omnicent]

man that oil slick, totally not ready for it on those last curves on hyrule

 

[explodet]

I can't stop laughing at this screenshot.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Them dark interlopers...

 

[Saint Gregory]

I used to like that spiked blue but that seems so long ago now ;'(

 

[Teknoman]

Call Netwrecker Revolver Ocelot, cause he's always got a bullet in the chamber.

 

[jorgejjvr]

You guys still doing normal? I hope you are by the time i get home xD
