LOVIN' it
I only ever played the console iterations, and as such I missed out on the underwater features and air-time features (hang glider stuff).

Check out this GIF I made—I'm playing as Luigi, and I manage to squeak by Mario in the final few feet of the race to take it all.

So good. Would've been heartbreaking for Mario if it was online.

I have a question.

I pre-ordered from Best Buy and it won't come until next week at the earliest! Since I'm seeing no cancel option on it I guess I have to ship it back to it whenever it arrives? Would they allow that? I also redeemed the $10 gift card promotion but haven't used it yet (though I'm not sure how much that matters).

I really just want to go to gamestop and buy the game today. I'm not waiting no damn 2 weeks after launch.

I contacted Bestbuy late 29th/early 30th but I won't get an answer until wed-thursday the earliest. Man fuck bestbuy, I should have stuck with Amazon Prime.

Just bumping this in case it got lost in the giddy of all you lucky fools playing :(
 
So I went in 100CC not realizing you got 50CC trophies as well. I was worried about character unlocks, but you can go to any 50 CC you have not played and get new characters. So just a heads up!

Man you can have all the luck sometimes, and then have absolutely none the next race lol. When that happens, it's a really ugly thing.
 
I haven't played a lot yet but Electrodome is definitely my weakest track right now. Played it thrice and have drifted into the abyss 4 times total.

Speaking of, I love how falling into a pit doesn't screw you over all that much compared to older iterations. Never played 7 so I don't know if that's new.

So good. I bet Mario was pissed. Was this online?

haha, I WISH! It was not online. I only just got the game, and plan on playing through each of the 8 cups at least once before going online ;)

2 things...

How do you pop a wheelie on a motorcycle using the Gamepad controller?

Best way to get a fast start? I start gassing right at the 2 second mark, but I know there's a way to get an even better jump start.

No more manual wheelies. They only happen when you get a boost.

Just pulled the trigger on purchasing MK8. For anyone who hasn't, ToysRus.com is having a deal giving you 40% off another WiiU game while purchasing MK8 (and free shipping for some reason). I got Wonderful101...turns out to only be $18.
 
how are the coins collected counted?

A) Every Coin you collect, even if you lose them by getting hit

B) Only the Coins you finish a race with

which one?
