Mario Kart 8 doesnt make you grind your way through the easy 50cc races just to get your collection of shiny gold trophies. Instead, placing in a higher speed automatically also earns you the trophy for the same cup at the lower speed as well. Think of it as finishing a game on Hardcore and automatically getting the Normal mode achievement. The retroactive awards also apply to stars, which are given for just how definitively you rout the competition. To get three stars, you need to not only place gold in a cup, but also have come in first place in each of the individual races.
Each speed will always keep the highest trophy and stars earned--so if you gold in 50cc and silver in 100cc, you wont get knocked down a rank in the 50cc cup--but you can feel free to skip the lower speeds if you find them too easy. And thats a good thing, because

Having baby characters is stupid.
Looks like I'm going digital for that free game.

Oh man, I love the music in this track; it might even be my favorite part of the entire course. It's so epic, yet still has that playful Mario aspect to it. To each their own, I guess.I LOVE everything about this track but the music.
It just doesn't do it for me. It doesn't sound like a Bowser's Castle song.
I was expecting someting more..well.. sad, lonely and dark like previous games. It worked for 3D World because it wasn't a Castle and the building was full of lights and circus stuff going on but at least to me, this doesn't fit a Bowser's Castle track.
I guess I love Wii Bowser's Castle too much :/
Where the hell is this google document?

Unless you're a super technical savvy guy with fantastic eagle eyes and doing a technical analysis, you won't notice it. At all.Don't like the sound of that micro stutter, wonder how bad it is in play?
I really hope so, looking forward to this game so hard!Unless you're a super technical savvy guy with fantastic eagle eyes and doing a technical analysis, you won't notice it. At all.
The way the game still outputs 60 images per second in 4 player mode but sends new frames alternatively for the top and bottom parts of the screen is a surprising technique.Digital Foundry article on Mario Kart 8: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2014-vs-mario-kart-8

Digital Foundry vs MK8 said:What makes this situation all the more strange is the fact that this problem only appears when CPU opponents are active. In time trials or split-screen matches, with AI-controlled drivers disabled, the frame-rate updates flawlessly while race introductions and victory animations all display correctly as well. The frequency and pattern of this problem suggests an internal timing issue, potentially related to Mario Kart TV, rather than one of performance.
