Do the drivers have unique abilities. I see you can soup up your ride(tires, shocks, whatever)...but does Koopa control differently than Mario even if they have the same automobile?

 

[MrSaturn99]

Amazing at how I keep shifting in places in this GAF room...got first place twice, and now last lmao

 

[Incitemaybe]

First forever!!!

Then mauled by the pack

 

[Papercuts]

GGs! I was Ryan playing Waluigi.

Each weight class has different stats. Here is a list.

 

[GaimeGuy]

I was laughing my ass off when I first loaded Electrodome. That giant LCD with the koopa troopas and shy guys on the dance floor at a rave

 

[BM8]

At least 90% of the time, at 100cc, while first, i get a defensive item.

Does 150cc have higher odds?

The game also looks much better than the GS demo.

My sharpness is at 20, and the jaggies arent even close as noticeable. The colors also pop on a calibrated tv.

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

Used the super horn at the wrong time

 

[MisterGrey3000]

Probably been asked a dozen times but what are is the star you can hit + to get at the end of a race?



Yeah, this thing.

Yeah, what is that?? Seems like I've maxed it out or something.

 

[Cosmozone]

This is the first game that makes me want to buy a Wii U.

Do you unlock things in Mario Kart when you finish the different cups? Or where's the replay value at?

There are three difficulty levels. Character unlock by winning cups and beating times. The latter also gives you stamps, more stamps by winning cups with different characters. Vehicles and parts can be unlocked by collecting coins. So, plenty to do.

 

[PK Gaming]

Being the best racer should go hand in hand with winning, and the new item system in MK8 somewhat achieves that.

Cool thanks.

 

[Pappasman]

ggs guys. Playing the GAF group was super fun.

 

[MrSaturn99]

Is Anthony 'Anth0ny'?

No, that would be me.

 

[castaction]

shit game is fun as fuck add me if you want to play castaction

 

[Tekku]

Every time you get gold on a cup a cup you unlock a character (14 total to unlock). Getting first in every race on every cup on the hardest difficulty get's you a special emblem by your name online. Every time you get gold on a cup with a character you get that characters stamp (Nintendo's version of achievements) (30 characters means 30 stamps to get). Beating the staff ghost on a track in time trial gets you that tracks stamp (32 tracks total).

Thanks! That sounds really fun and challenging.

 

[Delt31]

guys - just got it but can't play until my daughter goes to bed. I played MK 64 a ton and then MK 7 and usually play 150. Should I start 150 for this one too?

 

[Cosmozone]

Yeah, what is that?? Seems like I've maxed it out or something.

The manual says, you can save the current replay as a favorite, max 6 I think. Review them in Mario Kart TV.

 

[DAREALGUMMY]

Woo! Just got it NIN - DAREALGUMMY

 

[mrhej]

Jesus christ this game is smooth as butter.

[Spieler Eins]

Cool matches, it was nice dominating y'all

 

[dark_prinny]

Victory!

 

[KnockOneOff]

Hell forgot how much split screen games could be fun

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Heh, just unlocked Pink Gold Peach.

 

[Kinsei]

Thanks! That sounds really fun and challenging.

I also forgot to mention that every time you get 50 coins (You can get a max of 10 per race) you unlock a new vehicle part. I'm not sure how many total are in the game.

 

[RoySFNR]

If the game could stop giving me coins to protect against triple red shells, that would be nice.

 

[Incitemaybe]

I let you win Misha...... because you're streaming ;-)

 

[NotLiquid]

I'm convinced that Mario Kart GAF is like a wolf pack.

If you relent for even a second your ass is grass. I've been hit by a shell in first place only to go tumbling down to ninth.

 

[TunaLover]

I registered my copy on Club Nintendo, completeed the survey got my coins, but the free game doesn't appear in my To-Do list =/

It really is the most aggressive group I've played with. And all the better for it.

 

[Deku Tree]

Bought mine, gotta hit the road, can't play till Sunday...

 

[Jucksalbe]

This was such a close race, I got a coin at the last item box, so I kinda knew what was coming:

The IA in 150 cc are just like that.
So scray >.>"

Their website is getting slammed, may just need to wait a bit.

 

[TunaLover]

^It seems that way

 

[ryushe]

I'd pay an obscene amount of money for a Waluigi Pinball track complete with an anti-grav portion.

An obscene amount.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Is there a reason why I can't click accept on the YouTube permission?

Anyone?

 

[NotLiquid]

FUCK LAKITU HOLY SHIT

First time he betrays me in recovering from a glider thunderstrike and sends me straight backwards instead of forward.

 

[Umi88]

playing with a light character.. doesnt seem like a good idea...

 

[Lumyst]

Just got my copy from a Fry's store for $53.74, which ended up cheaper with tax than online, imagine that. The red case, looks fine in person, the outside is like blue and red AirHeads, the inside is like being at Target. Double Dash was my last Mario Kart game but there's something alluring about this one, maybe I'm wanting to indulge in the visuals but I'm sure I'll enjoy the other stuff too ;-)

 

[SweetDonuts]

I'm ready to jump back online, I think I forgot my perfect kart setup though..

Same. Really sucks that it was used in MK7. A game that didn't even have Waluigi in it.

 

[kizito]

Hahaha sorry for that triple red Although the connection error when I won is quite unexpected....

 

[Spinluck]

fuck everyone in the gaf tourney.

 

[Emperor Bohe]

I haven't been following the game much, is the Mach Bike still in?

 

[B00TE]

150cc is pretty hard. 3 starred the star cup, barely. Love those tracks to death though.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

fuck everyone in the gaf tourney.

I'm not gonna lie, I rage quit when I got hit by three fuckin things and went from 4th to 12th

 

[kizito]

fuck everyone in the gaf tourney.

Are you Gian by any chance ?

 

[Spieler Eins]

So, are tournament points gonna be perma or reset after each week?
