Bahahahahah, that crazy 8 item just put me from 9th to 3rd in the last stretch.
Just SPAMMING the weapon button.

For tournament, Is there anyway to choose what game you get into or is it always random?
Haha right at the end!

FIRST PLACE WAS MINE! DAMN THAT STATUE!
I played with this user a bunch and I'm pretty sure he wasn't cheating. I mean I finished 3/4 consistently, couple of wins. I'm not a cheater...
Living proof you can blow by a blue shell with a mushroom.

Seriously. Buy this damn game. Buy a Wii U if you don't have one. This is the reason why you buy Nintendo products.

Been having a right laugh with around 7 mates online. Absolutely stellar game. I'm still thinking about it after I've turned the console off.
Best online experience I've had in many years and gotta agree that Mt Wario is sublime. Yeah middle of the pack mayhem on this game. If you can't get in front early then you're in for a fight.
Going back to mt wario I had an epic race on that earlier. Full 12 of us in. As we hit the 3rd section there were 3 of us away from the pack absolutely neck and neck sliding round all the slalom corners and positions kept swapping frequently. I came 2nd out of the 3 of us but talk about a photo finish over the line.
GOTY for me! Thanks Nintendo

In first place it's a tricky one. The item selection is quite different. The tactic is (I guess it seems obvious) to get in front, and always have a defense item (usually green shell or banana) behind you. It's pretty difficult though because the item frequency of coins in first is very large, and the mega horn iis a gimmick because you quite rarely seem to get it even in 1st. Handy for that odd time you can zap a blue or red though.
You'll notice the times that I got stuck in the mid pack I couldnt get out of it,and that cos mid is a nightmare, for anyone xD
I remember when I first got the 8 item, I tried to delicately pick which weapon to use, patiently waiting till the right one came up, trying to coordinate that with the track and my own driving, lining up the shot with the enemy drivers, which always turned out along the lines of "gimme a second guys, just need to wai-- HEY, stop, stop it, oh i wasted my-- noope, aw JEEZ"
So yeah, mash that button like there's no tomorrow.

Holy Fuck I finally won one. F U Ridley
Wii U Pro is pretty amazing with this game, just as good as GCN controller (I only used GCN controller on MKWii). Definitely recommend it.

How is the tourney score calculated? If it's just points from racing, won't people who play a lot automatically rank higher than others?

As someone that is behind him in most of the races, he uses the items very startegically (always a defending object behind, even if its shitty like a banana peel and he passes new object boxes). He is also pretty good racing and leaving behind the pack.

It's absolutely awful, just a bunch of aimless driving. Can't believe how unfun it is.
Agree, I miss the old arena battle game from the super nintendo.

I'd like to know this as well. The test tourney seemed to do it where it only calculated my score in 4 tracks and then gave a score.
The one they have up now just seems like whomever plays a lot will eventually have a lot of points.
