Question about the DS battery...
Are there 3 LED indication colors? When the batteries get low, the green LED changes to orange. But I could've sworn I have seen that light red. Is there a red (after the orange), or am I just going nuts?
Also, how long is you battery lasting with WiFi enabled?

Im playing now if anyone wants a game,
<- details
Also, the battery light is red when it's low, not orange, orange is the charge colour on mine. I know because I think of it as "the red light of doom" in my head every time it comes on.
This game is a monster on the batteries.
I've just stared playing a lot on line (finished 1p) we should post which shortcuts we know for levels, I keep getting screwed when competitors know a shortcut. I've been trying the shortcut on DK pass, is a mushroom needed for that one, or not? It cuts off a big corner.

I'd like to know, is the Delfino shorcut (through the alley with the mud) lucrative when you don't have a mushroom?

I'm pretty sure not, I think most of them aren't, on the delfino one, you can get at least 2 powerslides around the normal way if you don't have a mushroom.
Sky garden shortcut is good even without a mushroom it also has a mushroom required shortcut.
I'm not sure about the DK pass one. what other shortcuts are there?
Mario circuit has one where you can just go across the sand if you have a mushroom, skips a corner and the staff ghost does it in time trial,
cheep cheep beach you can go through the water and skip a large corner with a mushroom.

Question: Is it better to have my ports open on my router when playing? Would I be able to connect to more people?

GG Error. Last one was close. You kept getting good item after good item.
Just save yourself some time, and drop prior to a race with a guy named "dibar" that has no avatar. He snakes like a motherfucker, and the second you get ahead, he drops. He did it 3 times against me. He can snake really well, but can't actually race for shit. He's fine as long as he has a big ass lead, but when you start taking it to him, drop city.
if i didnt race him yesterday, it was someone with a familiar tactic. he got stuck on a bush or something on the last stretch of yoshi circuit then dropped right after i crossed the finish right in front of him. its not like he wouldnt have gotten any wins, the other 2 racers were way back behind us in both the races we did.Drensch said:

gf need the computer in another room away from the wire now as well.In that situation, what happens? I mean if you want your 2 friends to join, we all quit and research right?
which car/rider combo does everyone find the best btw? I'm a sucker for luigi in his vacuum ride. quite quick with good accel and it's fairly easy to be a snaking ass with if thats who you wind up playing against. A tad weak on the items though, so catching up from the back proves difficult sometimes.
We could play with people from my friendslist that you don't have on yours, yes (good part about the online system), have done it before.catfish said:damnit

I was on skype with them so I had them wait until out races were done, they were still setting up anyways.
I use yoshi in his egg cause he's just teh cute and handles well.

Adam, thanks for coming out. I know you were hoping for better (given your performance over the day). You guys really made for a kick-ass final though.
Also, I'd just like to say to anyone who is crazy enough to try doing something like this ... no matter how well you plan it, no matter how cooperative and patient your participants are (ours kicked ass), it will be hell thanks to Nintendo's broken online.
Normally, I don't call it broken. I usually just say that it's limited. However, we worked past the limited problem by coordinating people in specific chat rooms and making sure they only had each others friend codes (for the most part). Even with that, connection troubles absolutely plagued us all afternoon. We spent more time fighting with WFC than we raced. A simple lobby system would have solved this completely. Hell, they did it with AC.
Anyway, to anyone reading this that was involved, thank you. You made it into a fun time for everyone.
