I love Dolphin Shoals and don't understand why people hate it. I don't love or hate SNES Rainbow Road, but I'm confused why there's a ramp to nowhere in the middle of that second U-turn. Bone Dry Dunes is awful, Donut Plains is awesome, and Rainbow Road 8 sucks. Rainbow Road 64 would be better if it wasn't one lap. Electrodrome, Shy Guy Falls, and Mute City are the best. Future DLC needs to add Rainbow Road DD, Rainbow Road 7, and Waluigi Pinball. These are my opinions on Mario Kart tracks.

All the Rainbow Roads are great because mostly people I race against fall repeatedly off them while I laugh my way to victory.

The ramp to nowhere is just so you can cut the corner super hard and it rules. Also RR8 is good because it actually asks you to pay attention and RR64 sucks rear end because outside of pretty lights it's too wide and as exciting as watching paint dry.

ThisIsACoolGuy posted:I love the shortcuts in ice ice outpost because every race is people saying "I'll get it this time" and then dying to it horribly myself included. I just went through a round where I did that because I kept going, "I'm going to learn how to make these shortcuts work for me!" And I don't think they're very good. I've been hit by other vehicles when trying to get onto some of them because of the sharp turns across traffic you have to make. They don't see much shorter, and the primary advantage is the short jump boost. I'm sure all the record times are going to use them, but the only one I can see being consistently useful for most players is the second half of the first short cut since you can just drop off the left edge at high speed to hit that one. sporadicsarcasm posted:I will only accept it if it were like Yoshi's Valley. It would only take a few runs before everyone figured out that you had to go north, west, south, and west to get through. It has occurred to me that SNES Rainbow Road probably makes a great battle track. I'll have to try that out sometime if I ever work up the energy to play battle mode again.

Nintendo is going to have its work cut out for it when they try to top this Mario Kart they could definitely improve battle mode, any other ideas?

All Nintendo needs is to release Block Fort for battle mode and battle mode will immediately be good. Outside of sheer laziness/quicker release I have no idea why they made MK8's battle mode the way it is.

How cool would it be if they made battle mode DLC that also included new items. How much cooler would it be if it had Zelda themed items like Bombchus or something.

It seems like every time I get an 8 lately there's always someone right next to me to bump into the inevitable bomb so it triggers instantly nailing us both. I hate bombs.

It feels like the star is MUCH less powerful than it was in MK64. Probably a good choice, all things considered.

I'm still waiting for the day Nintendo turns Mario Kart into Nintendo Wacky Racers. The latest DLC just confirms to me that this is in no way a bad idea.

Little Mac posted:I'd Rather Not Tier You just need to have that one time you get a Piranha plant, get hit by something, and then the plant eats like 6 guys that try to pass you in a row while you recover. Or sloooooowly catching up to somebody knowing it's inevitably going to knock them out as well as eat the shell they're dragging behind them and there's nothing they can do about it.

Or when the Piranha Plant eats the Blooper, thus saving your UI and your traction.

Wait, the Blooper fucks up your traction? I never noticed anything other than it covering the screen (which is easy enough to still see around the ink), certainly never noticed my driving being impaired. Blooper sucks.

DarthBlingBling posted:You're covered in oil! ^^^  Someone posted earlier that they don't like the crazy 8 item; that's crazy talk. When I get a crazy 8 toward the end of a race online every once in a while, it's pretty much an automatic (but kind of undeserved-feeling) win button. I mean, just activate the star power first, then you can go to town with the rest of the items risk-free. If anything, it's way overpowered.
