Nah, just needs to happen once. Use a lightweight character focused on acceleration because the AI scales the speed anyway. It's really easy to get a big lead and shrug off the blue shell.

No. It's the same as 150cc.

I'm guessing it's coming later.So.. what the heck happened to this stats part of the Mario Kart TV web app?
I thought maybe I'd have to buy the game first in order for it to show up, but still nadda.

It disconnects a lot in general. It's pretty horrendous, they really need to step up their game there.

I feel like this is the first Mario Kart that can get away with a No Items mode, because all the little jumps and boosts and hazards and drifting opportunities keep you busy enough that the race is stimulating the whole way through. It's nice

Coins from the box 24/7... i don't get it either. They should really take that shit out.
OK. I don't know how to do this stuff. I've just been following instructions online. I don't know what any of it means.
1. I have manually assigned an IP Address to my Wii U. I manually entered the DNS thing that my computer indicated that I use.
2. I was able to access my router settings, where I entered my Wii U's IP Address into the DMZ section. I then saved the settings.
3. I was not able to play online.
4. I "power cycled my home network."
5. I was able to play two matches online before being kicked off with a new error message. Nintendo's website suggested it might be a DNS issue.
6. I looked up the DNS information on my computer again, and it had changed.
7. I updated the DNS information on my Wii U and the connection test was successful.
8. I am still unable to play online, but now I'm getting error codes that offer simple suggestions that I've already done.
What am I doing wrong? Why did my DNS numbers change? Nintendo implied I should manually enter my DNS but if it's going to change randomly then I can't do that.
Why is this so complicated? Why can't I select my SSID, enter my WEP passcode, and be done with it?

Coins near the front of the pack. I'd rather have mushrooms any day over coins.

They should change if your ISP has changed them. In most cases like this these recommendations are snake oil.

After playing a lot in the GAF lobby that happens a lot against randoms now.

Mariokart.tv seems optimised for mobile.

iirc, dev said it'll come out shortly after mk8 releases.
So, maybe a month at most?
Don't know how things work, but maybe they wanted to wait until they stabilize mk8s online.

That was close with the Blue Shell on Mario Circuit.
You go "against traffic" even in 50cc... That's not like N64, there's traffic in both directions (they're driving on the wrong side of the road, btw ^_^)

Try using a stable, public DNS like 4.4.4.2 or 8.8.8.8. TBH I never use my ISP's DNS when entering the DNS manually for devices.

Whoever got that lightning bolt, thank you so much! That actually got me from 8th to 5th. I don't even know what happened, I fell into the pool before the finish line on Electrodrome.

Anyway I'm with him, go for the pro controller, is just as good as the Gamecube one.

Lol avatar quote? Nice! First time that happened to me lol
Yeah, I hear that. I feel like the OT lobby is really great for improving quickly, outside of random shit that you literally cannot recover from.
I can also recommend the pro controller, it's awesome. I thought it'd be wonky at first, but it's my favorite way to play now.
It's a Japanese game...

So who at Nintendo sat and looked at Mario Kart Wii's courses and said to themselves "gee, you know what map would be cool to bring back, Grumble Volcano. Yea, that'd be nice. No major layout changes, no new music. I'm sure they'll love it!"
I didn't even like the map in MKWii, seeing it back with very few changes, and not even updated music is disappointing. It brings back terrible, terrible memories of trying to beat 150 to unlock Dry Bowser

Everything about this game is perfect except for those stupid damn coins. I can get the measly 10 coin limit myself, I don't need a worthless item every box I hit.

The only online tracks are Electrodome, both Rainbow Roads, Sunshine Airport, Music Park, and Tick Tock Clock. That's all I ever seem to play.

That Moo Moo Meadows race was nuts,
And disconnected again. I guess it was all of us since I'm spectating some of the same people I was with before, but only 4 are left.

Afoni made it personal! We were trolling each other quite often.

FFS..1st to 9th
I don't have a pro controller so I'm just on gamepad. I literally have the stand right next to me, and I lay it in to charge a little after each race.
the battery life struggle is real.
