Can we make a separate thread to gush over how amazing the Thwomp Ruins song is? It's the greatest thing Nintendo has ever done.

I think getting blooped reduces your traction stat substantially. I was in a kart with pretty bad turning already and when I was oiled my drifting went to complete dogshit. Of course AI will just adjust around this, though.

Unlocking Metal Mario/Peach is just luck when winning GX cups? I have been playing almost exclusively online so while my carts are being fleshed out, I don't have many racers unlocked and wanted to give Metalclass weights a shot after playing with Heavyweight all weekend.

I've just got this and it's amazing. Is it me or are bikes just completely ridiculous. I've stomped 150cc Mushroom and Shell cup on them, but the moment I tried to do the same in a kart I got annihilated. Like it feels like bikes with comparable top speed just seem to go faster than karts.

I don't know if this has been brought up but I really really hope they release the N64 Battle Arena's re-done as DLC. I don't like the way battles are right now at all. Other than that it's an amazing game tho

I like the idea of putting battles in larger, more open areas, but dedicated courses would still be better.

Battles should be 15 minute cat and mouse games of dodging shells around corners, screen watching for locations and items, barricading yourself in with bananas, and then dying to a false item box you forgot you placed on the first pick up.

Filthy Haiku posted:Why on earth did it bounce back like that? Because gently caress your couch. I'm enjoying this game to loving pieces, with goons and with randoms though I win more against randoms. It seems as if heavyweights are better at turning in this game than the lighter weights who seem to power slide wildly and out of control (and off the stage  ). Couple with higher speeds and heavies are pretty much the business. They seem to be who I see at the top of the leaderboards too. I generally roll with Rosalina and Roy with the sport bike, but Ludwig in the Biddybuggy seems to be alright though a bit wild as he's also not a heavy.What's everyone rolling with so that we can all drive the same char/car like Funky Kong on Wii? Edit: I also rocked a tiny Hitler Mii I called Lil' Hit with his buddy Lil' Stalin back on MK Wii. But Wii was quite unpoliced unlike the U. I just KNOW the second I do that on MK8 I'm getting banned immediately Dishwasher fucked around with this message at 04:18 on Jun 2, 2014 |

drat you thread, stop making me want to buy this. Seems like the best Mario Kart in a long time and me and my friends could use another good game for drunk multiplayer (I'm pretty sure nothing will ever beat drunk F-Zero GX, though), but that would mean I'd need to shell out for a bunch of Pro controllers.  It is tempting, though... edit: oh okay it supports the Wii classic controller too, that'll help a bit DMorbid fucked around with this message at 04:34 on Jun 2, 2014 |

Not only is this the best Mario Kart in a long time, but IMO it's the best Mario Kart ever made. The new tracks are almost all incredibly well done and anti gravity is a super fun mechanic!

Like, with karts I have some leeway going back and forth, but bikes? Either all the way out or all the way in, and I usually end up on one side of the rough terrain no matter how hard I try. Granted, its just my first day, so I probably have a lot of time to learn still.

I can't believe how well I've been doing with Pink Gold Peach on the sports bike with the little roller wheels. Consistently getting first place or at least top positions online, and this is the first Mario Kart I've played in a while so I expected to do terribly to begin with.

I'm one of those grumpy-rear end  Mario Kart fans who only like the original, 64 and Super Circuit and don't care for the gimmicky stuff they've been adding in the more recent games, but I'm willing to give this a shot because it really does seem like an awesome game. I was kinda iffy on the anti-gravity thing when I first saw it, but if it's actually implemented well I won't mind.

That's the risk-reward with bikes. They corner amazingly well, but their drifting is much harder to control and if you go off-road just slightly they nearly stop dead. Bikes require you to maintain a very specific racing line, whereas karts can slide and maneuver all over the place. I think karts are competitive with bikes, but you have to be really skilled with the power-slide and get the full boost off of every turn you can. I find Wood wheels go really well with karts and make power-sliding really simple. I don't even know what the deal is with ATVs. I would have thought their thing would be having slightly poor stats but performing well off-road (basically the inverse of bikes), but that doesn't seem to be the case.

So to get the full boost from drifting do you still need to wiggle the control stick back and forth or did that mechanic get ditched? I thought it was still in but then I realized my waggling might be doing nothing and its just a placebo effect.

Just got this game, and I made a nerd table based on the data from this FAQ (values multiplied by 4 to make them whole): PDF here, XLSX here. There's data missing, since it wasn't in the source FAQ, but it's enough to poke around. The bottom line seems to be "there's no all-around best, drive what you like".
