Damn, I forgot you can save one ghost in this game. Would have been nice to keep my Mario Circuit 1 ghost.
On the positive side, when you're a bit ahead, you don't have to fear being shot by anything. At least until you start to lap the other drivers.

Sadly, no. Since they already published a list of "key titles" for April, it's unlikely to come next month either.
150cc done.
Guess I can go back to the Time Trials now. And it seems like I have to, Jazzem already beat my Mario Circuit 1 time.
Edit: My new Mario Circuit 1 time:
Miiverse
I must admit, I've been struggling to beat your times! I outdid Mario Circuit 2 but the rest I'm off by a second or two. I'm going to be addicted to this for the whole weekend
Also, thanks for the add!
Mario Circuit 2 was by far my worst time. I couldn't really do a complete race without bumping into something. I have to practice that track a bit more.
Glad to hear you're at least struggling on the other tracks.
That was me on Bowser's Castle, those thwomps frequently ruin otherwise solid runs...I'm dreading any future attempts at Rainbow Road!

If love to see them remake this as close to the original as possible, using modern technology. With Nintendo's current development skills it would take no time at all.
New Super Mario Kart
Add online options and I'd buy it on top of any modern versions.

It is an awesome game, but for me Mario Kart 64 was the one because we had so much fun playing 4 player matches back in High School!

The Jucksalbe leaderboards are up to date.

8 Players might be pushing it with the way the courses are designed. 2- 4 player online would be nice though. I played this online all the time on XBand in the early 90s so I know it is possible. Nintendo just has to put in a bit of effort for a change.
My affinity for this game is a bit of an oddity. I don't really like racing games or even other Mario Kart games, but this is probably my favorite game of all time. It is an absolute classic.

I will get involved, I promise.
Last I heard the cpu characters couldnt navigate around custom tracks. But yeah, would love to look into creating some new tracks.
afaik that's been fixed. You can set CPU routes
Wow great! Will need to check this out.

In the original game the CPU players had a set speed they always drove at constantly. So it was easy to calculate their time since once all HUMAN players finished, there'd be no more obstacles to stop them in their tracks so the game can just do the math and figure out how long each one would take.
It's basically what "rubber band AI" is. When you knock a CPU character out of place, they always speed up or slow down to get back into their "proper" position. So when the last human finishes the game takes all the remaining CPU players and does the math. The game knows how long the course is and how fast the CPU character should go. So it's a simple matter of mathematics to figure out the remaining length they need to drive at the speed they're moving.
I assume the game randomly chooses what speed CPU characters will go which is why it's never the same people in first. (Imagine if Toad was always fastest) Not sure if it chooses their speed at game start or track start.
Who comes in first is usually decided by what character the player picks.
But it still doesn't explain how Peach can be faster than Yoshi in front of her. I guess the positions are determined when the race screen fades away and the times are determined when you cross the finish line.

Wtf is this shit?
I downloaded the e-shop version because I want to play it with my wife. Gamepad and Wii-remote.
Original text (e-shop):
Controller required: Gamepad
Optional: Wii-remote, Wii-remote with classic controller
It doesn't work. When I start the game it says "You can't play this game with the Wii-remote." Then the remote turns off and the game reboots.
I'm really angry right now. I want my money back.

Hooray, someone's participating!
Yeah I didn't want to leave you on your own.
Will try and post times of the other courses as well - but I have to get near your Mario Circuit 1 time first.

I'm too used to the timing for the boost on 50hz. The amount of restarts because I'm too set in my ways.
Make a game out of it. If I mess up the start I usually try to get to the "Give Up" menu as soon as possible. My record was something around 00'01"56.

No I am not trolling you, I just wanted to check out how to post Miiverse pics.
If you choose Koopa, you'll always have Luigi as your arch rival. Choose the princess, it will be Bowser etc. The AI is really stupid and cheating as hell.
Thanks to the Quick Save I often try to shoot down the the guy behind me shortly before the race is finished, but I never made him to become worse than 4th place. At some point your rival will be replaced (Mario will replace Luigi for example).

Posting this just to show support for the leaderboards, cause I'm really not close to the records in this thread. Also, pretty sure I was much faster when I played this on SNES 20 years ago :-( Anyone care to share tips and tricks?
Edit:
And another one to act as leaderboard filler
