Does anyone know how to change controls in MK8?

I press start at the beginning of the game and I don't see any options to switch acceleration from that horrid a button.

Also do you think there's a chance that tweeting nintendo will have them update it so acceleration can be R, drift can be L and item can be whatever like every other normal racer? Soooo much more comfortable on my hands.

EDIT: Also any way to get the map to show on screen? I'm using the WiiU pro controller but the map only shows on the gamepad and I have zero idea on how to disable it. This game desperately needs an option menu.

Use "Y" to accelerate instead, much more comfortable.

 

[rnaud]

Arghhhh that green shell on the line

 

[javac]

1st! I was first and the blue shell went past me

 

[Chubby Rain]

but don't you want first place...

I would love to, but goddamn it's hard to win against other gaffers on there

 

[Net_Wrecker]

But top speed don't mean nothin when red shell after red shell is hitting you

 

[Kjellson]

150cc is hard this time. I don't remember it being this tough before.

You always seem so hyped. I like it!

 

[DedValve]

How though?

 

[Irminsul]

Second! Now that I didn't expect ^_^

 

[Cbajd5]

How though?

It's on the opposite side of A.

Which is the best side, apparently.

sorry Matt

 

[Qurupeke]

Man, I already hate the game. Bitten by a plant, red shelled and fell into the cliff on 5 seconds...

 

[ViewtifulJC]

dat 12 place finish tho

 

[DedValve]

How do I do that though? I don't see any options to change.

THIS ASSCLOWN LAKITU

HE PULLED ME BACKWARD ACROSS THE GAP AFTER A SHELL HIT ME

FROM 2ND PLACE TO 12TH

 

[Son Of D]

Man, I am completely terrible at Rainbow Road. Always falling off.

 

[Neoriceisgood]

They both work for gas at the same time.


I often switch up pressing A and Y from race to race to solve my issues.

[ChrisD]

Game is amazing but whenever you get stuck in the item pack it sucks. 1st to 4th is racing, 5th onwards is a vicious pack of items and you just hope for the best.

Anyone else use bikes here? I love them

it's a very complicated process

I'm sayin I was gonna end up in 2nd, but the race was basically over from there

 

[daydream]

Drifting with the bike feels so good. I like the kart designs more, but they don't do much for me in terms of handling.

 

[prag16]

So what's the story with the VR. I haven't played enough online races yet to gauge it...

I was hoping the gain/loss would scale based on the competition, but so far it kind of doesn't look like it really does; or if it does, not by a whole lot.

I'd prefer something that can be some semblance of a skill rating, rather than just tracking who has played the most matches (without totally sucking and finishing 8-12 every race).

I'll quote this once more then I'll drop it. DAMN is this a terrible topic to ask questions in. 90% of them go unanswered because the topic moves so quickly with so many different lines of discussion and random comments.

 

[Dr.Hadji]

Sorry if this has been mentioned (I'm sure it has) but how does one get to the GAF lobby?

 

[BM8]

Gamepad motion controls is actually pretty fun to use for a change of pace, and works quite well. Gives a little sense of immersion, and the weight of the gamepad works well.

You can even do motion control(while tilting the gamepad) for off tv play.

Is Rosalina having a seizure? lol

 

[Shady859]

Argh Mario Kart 8 what have you done?? My Best Buy is all out of pro controllers! I asked about any in the back or another display and the guy was like yea we got a ton they gotta be here somewhere they rarely sell. Searches in back and then looks all over and someone else says yea they on sale this week and Mario Kart yesterday all gone. Gonna order online as I have a big pile of RZ points to spend. Stuck with this crappy Nyko Commander (2 month old and won't hold a charge) rigged to my cell phone battery pack for another few days.

 

[ffdgh]

Gotta love Koodo is the only one getting hit by blues.

 

[enoki]

It's twice as funny because I'm epileptic.

 

[Feltrol]

Finally racing against you!

Having the wrong direction locked in while drifting suuuuucks..

 

[Siegmeyer]

ok gaf, I'd love to play online wifh some of you guys but my computer is at the repair shop at the moment (posting from my Vita) so i can't open that document to add my NNID. I've got the quoted code from the OP but when i enter it it just puts me in a lobby by myself. Is there something else I need to do?

Edit nm, I'm in! Baintz btw

Just keep trying or wait for more players. There is probably a full lobby.

Seems like MK7. Or in other words, not worth caring about at all. Don't rise much ever and a loss is a little slap on the wrist.

 

[Cheddahz]

everytime a shell hits me and i'm in the top three

 

[enoki]

Sorry, didn't know that.

No! It really is funny.

I'd like to formally announce that I've contracted Item Magnetism.


Seeking help now

Didn't know they worked at the same time.

Ugh, tried a race with it, waaaaay worse than the a for me. Problem is I don't like pressing down on my thumb for extended periods so both don't really help me, but with a I can at least slide my thumb up a little.

Man this needs an R/L option asap.
