Agreed, Excitebike seems to be the most improved course in 200cc.

Depending on the course layout, you can boost over one of the ramps and launch yourself over like a quarter of the track. At least. I also (accidentally) discovered that you can launch yourself over some of the hair pin turns in Big Blue at 200cc.

I'm so bad at 200cc that I almost feel like I should pay someone for Mario Kart lessons. I constantly get my poo poo stomped in online. What is it I don't know that everyone else does?

There can only be one Isabelle.
Also, at 0:35, the other Isabelle falls off but that wasn't recorded.

Use y for acceleration instead of a, and mush tap B to brake and get more control over turns without losing drift boost.

Start drifting/braking earlier than you'd think coming up on a turn (fight it to keep going mostly straight) then turn hard into it while applying B as necessary and you can ride the edges of a turn just as easily as in 150.

Also know what's coming up. Some turns you don't really want to follow, but instead just do a quick drift correction so that you're facing the right way as you come out of it and can start on the next curve. This is crucial for yoshi's circuit, neo bowser, rainbow road 8 etc.

200cc is also fast enough you can cut or hop over small patches of grass/dirt, without losing speed which is good if it gets you a better line.

I wonder why they added the little sad sound when you get hit by an item? It's kinda hard to miss when you spin out, roll, explode, or get covered in splooge. An odd thing to add in version 4.0.

The people who are good at the game in general seem to do the best in 200cc as well, I don't think there's a special secret. Just some general ideas like use the brakes, maybe switch to a loadout with higher acceleration and traction, and reconsider your lines in tracks that you know well from slower speeds.

I need to re-learn all the tracks, some are just kicking my rear end even when I try to slow down.

I mostly enjoy how everything is viable, Biddy Buggy, Leaf Tires and a baby character will give you one bar of speed and you can trounce people with that one bar, I have a feeling speed is entirely maxed out in 200c even if it doesn't show it.

I'm seeing a weird thing online where no one is picking Big Blue. I was in a full room and 11 people picked Ribbon Road over Big Blue??? It just happened again except people picked Donut Plains + Excite Bike

I had been in the rooms for a long time so it's not like we had just played it or anything. People are weird

False.

I could see people picking Excite Bike over anything else, though. It's probably the best 200cc track because it's transformed into a Stunt Show Deathmatch.

like, why not just make it completely random then?

This is how they both a) let you have some agency in choosing a track if you absolutely hate some tracks and b) stop the online from being Rainbow Road (or whatever track is the flavor of the month) all the time. If you had played 7 online you would know that usually about half the people in the room would vote for Wuhu Mountain every single time because it had a skip glitch. Eventually this was useless as everyone knew the glitch anyway so it didn't gain you anything but man did it not stop people from picking that goddamn track.

It also slightly shortens the time between races by giving people less options to search through.

It's a love it or hate it thing. The physics of drifting on inside drift sport bikes is totally different so if you're used to outside drift it just feels awkward and counter intuitive. I learned how to play on an inside drift bike though so outside drift feels weird and wrong to me. Comet 4 lyfe.

You can't. But you can use Y instead of A for more convenient thumb placement.

That would be me.

I saved that same replay, because that finish was bonkers. After I hit you, I thought for sure I had first.

One cool tip for 200cc a lot of people overlook/don't realise - holding Y/A while midair still gives you forward momentum. If you feel you're gonna overshoot or wanna slow down before landing into an awkward spot, release the gas and you'll start to drop like a stone.
