It's basically, the track is just a bunch of trivial 90-degree turns so it's pretty easy to navigate, and items are so powerful on it because during hitstun you can get bumped off. The tracks may be wider but bumps are also buffed.

The tradition of castles being in "X Circuit" courses applies to the Zelda track as well lol.

If you're not a heavy character, you may as well fall off the course on your own with MK8's mechanics lol.
We still don't know if we will be able to create tournaments exclusively for those with DLC packs but if there's indeed such feature, you can count on it.

Even if there isn't such a feature we should probably make one anyways, use huge, bold letters, and hope people can A) read and B) aren't assholes.
Did people figure them out already? What about the other 3 vehicles?

Glad this is coming out on the 13th, gives me 8 days to enjoy it before Smash comes out.
Do we know the stats for the new parts? Doubt I'll use any of them anyway.

Don't underestimate people.

Good thing I already use the Pipe Frame :>

"We're going to take .5 weight from pipeframe and add it to speed and aceel. That's totally balanced!"
IntelliHeath
As in "Heathcliff"
Well, I hope that we can. I'm concerned that people (without DLC) might decide to come in and screw us over.
Hopefully that's not the case.
Also, I just noticed the lame excuse of "anti-gravity" Hyrule Castle has lol
I can finally toss gold/slick to the side in favor of Peach/iggy With blue falcon.
4 and 4.5 speed with 3 acceleration is so good. Heavies tho...they're gonna stats whore the heck of of this thing lol.
And on that thought....DK/waluigi/Roy/Rosalina will have a 4 acceleration and 4 speed combo...crap
Can you imagine someone being so salty that they uninstall the DLC and then rejoin the group to screw everyone up?

We would just make a new private room and not give them the password.
Gotta reward their effort with our own effort, yo.

This track is going to be so fucking chaotic with 12 racers and boomerangs and horns and...and.. and I love it!!!! >
Music is fantastic.Aswering your question... No I don't think there's footage of the other 3 tracks.
They changed the location of the last item boxes to the turn instead of on the narrow straightway. Good change. Not really sure why they changed the locations of the first 2 item boxes. The only reason I see them for doing that is just to make it so the item boxes only appear on turns/corners.
I wonder if the thwomps can't be affected by racers with a star since they seem to have a star like effect.

I'm actually hoping these are correct now simply because seeing a lot of heavyweights in that tiny little thing would be hilarious.
Unless Nintendo surprises us with new info (which I doubt at this point) DLC OT is completely done. The only thing missing is the new DLC Tournament code
btw, in terms of digital stuff how it usually works? DLC will be available 13th November, does that mean we will be able to download it Wednesday night past midnight or late Thurdsday?

The way this is gonna go is that, the DLC OT will be bumped if people that have DLC want to online with DLC?

The Americas got the Mario Golf DLC when Japan did, so we were playing it on... Wednesday evenings I believe. This was probably to facilitate multiplayer.Unless Nintendo surprises us with new info (which I doubt at this point) DLC OT is completely done. The only thing missing is the new DLC Tournament code

The patch will definitely be required to play online so that will have a worldwide release for sure, and the DLC likely comes when the patch comes. Expect it Thursday morning at the latest but start paying attention Wednesday evening in case we get it when Japan or Europe does.
I don't think I understand your question :V
I see, thanks. I'll post the OT early next Wednesday anyway but I wanted to make sure.

Can't fucking wait for this DLC to drop! Glad to see we'll be making a DLC tournament for people to join.
Are you going to make a DLC OT, and is it going to be separate thread from this one, just for the people who want to play with the DLC online
Yes, it will be an independent new thread for everyone.
The day before release, I'll post the new DLC OT and this one will be locked.
We're moving back into Gaming so it's pointless to have both threads open.
It's like OT4 if you like but the main focus of the new thread will be all the DLC content.

A better question might be who hasn't.
That jazzy Mute City theme is so good. Can't wait to hear the whole thing and cry because F-Zero is dead.

This is the one from the JP Direct, I think (except in English, obviously).
Yeah, it looks great. Again though it better have separate playlists online or it'll be rather useless.
They should've create a upside down SNES raindow road.

I would have taken that over the same track again. No anti-grav pretty much killed my interest in it since I already played it to death in MK7.
Not to be nitpicky but you'll play "anti-gravity" SNES Rainbow Road everytime you play in Mirror Mode.. just saying.
