IT'S REAL

If you leave a lobby and don't vote for a map, there's a chance the lobby gets a communication error. That's why that shit keep happening to people that spectate waiting for a spot, get in and the lobby dies.

fix this shit guerrilla
 
At long last, I 100%ed the entire single-player grand prix mode!

So what would we like to see as DLC, besides tracks and characters?

I imagine a true battle mode after the uproar.

I'd like to see a mission mode like the DS version had.

Some more single player content...in the form of challenges or something. This feels like the Titanfall of Kart Racers.

Did a quick search but couldn't find an answer - so what's the deal with the 3 stars of each cup?
Does the coins have to do with it? I always try to end a race with 10 coins on place one, naturally that doesn't work out all the time.
Also what is up with those x/6 stars that are displayed on the top left after each race, when you select highlights or next race, by pressing the + button that number also gets increased by one.


Gorgeous game, enjoying it a lot.
Give me a couple more days and I will jump into the multiplayer.
 
Do different gliders have any hidden parameters such as longer air time or anything like that? If I hit (+) on the parts selection screen I can see bars going up and down for Acceleration/Weight for different glider parts but I'm wondering if there's more to them than just aesthetics.

You need to get a perfect "score" by getting first place every round.

Normally MKTV just displays highlights from your last six races. Pressing + after a race lets you lock your highlight vid for that race so it doesn't get cycled out.

All you need now is first place in all four races to get 3 stars

the /6 is your favorites. Pressing + saves one.

3 stars is the maximum ranking you can obtain for a cup. As far as I can tell, the only requirement to get 3 stars for this game is to simply place in 1st each race. I think it's different from the previous games in that regard.

At for the x/6 star in the highlight reel, that saves that particular highlight to your favorites. Highlights not saved into your favorites disappear after 12 more races, but favorites are permanent.

EDIT: Too slow, like I will be once I join the GAF community lol.

I've given up trying to get 3 stars on all the cups. I've never had so much trouble in 150cc in a Mario kart. They made the AI way too unfair in this game

I asked this yesteday, but got ignored in the cascade of comments.

does anyone knows if I can change my "country flag" online without changing my WiiU's region settings?
