Why does everyone think I'm going to get in trouble?

I use Link on the Eponator (I don't give a poo poo that it's the Master Cycle in my region) with usually Cyber Slick tires and the Animal Crossing sail. For 200cc, I swap out the Cyber Slick tires for Animal Crossing and I do mostly alright.

My normal setup is Bowser/Comet/Rollers and whichever glider puts acceleration on the line. That setup has the highest possible speed while still having a high mini turbo stat. Also inside drift :getin:

For 200cc I've been using the same setup with a baby because I'm a baby who sucks at cornering.

It's MISSEL! Or SISSLE!
I confused myself...



Waluigi on the Jet bike with Triforce wheels and either the Bowser kite or Triforce glider, but this may have to change for 200cc because boy does that mess up the timing for inside drifts.

I briefly tried 200cc, it's fun but in the end I just went back to 150. If I wanted to brake I'd play a racing sim :colbert:

I got this for a Ratatta on GTS.


I mostly use Rosalina, Sports Coupe, Cyber Slick Tires and MKTV Parafoil.

Although for 200cc, I've been switching between Toadette, Baby Daisy and Baby Rosalina (Despite making no sense as characters, I've grown attached to them for some reason).

Humans disgust me. Vile creatures.
50-150 cc - Large size Mii (usually either Jon Hamm, Bob Ross or Lemmy from Motorhead), Blue Falcon, Cyberslicks, Hyrule glider.

Since the latest DLC dropped, I've also been enjoying Dry Bower and his chrome skeleton trike thing with the above tires and glider. I haven't nailed down a load out for 200 cc, but generally somebody small in the kart that looks like an airship from SMB3. I like Shy Guy for the custom colour choice, but my Tobias Mii is also tempting.

My setup for a while has been Peach on the Sport Bike with Cyber Slick wheels and the Parasol. Might finally need a change cause it's not cutting it super well on these new courses.

I'll tell ya what you do, you come teach me how the gently caress to do even do that. Can't even beat Mirror Mode on the new stages cause loving Donkey Kong rubberbands on me on the Animal Crossing stage every single time.
This is crazy to me, great job dude

The rival system is strange to me, where depending on the character you pick, there will be two characters who will always be fighting you for first. I have gotten so tired of Donkey Kong and Toad and now hate them with a fiery passion.

Haven't messed with 200cc much but finally finished 3 starring all the 150 cups and beating all of the NIN time trial ghosts. I'm loving terrible now with outside drift setups though.

I was stuck on this one for a day or two, finally beat it last night. I ended up not using any shortcuts, boosting on straightaway, and just taking good racing lines and not making any mistakes. Also, go a little off the best lines early to get coin count up.

Animal Crossing was one of the harder tracks in 200cc. The course itself is pretty simple, though depending on what season you're in the ramps can be in real dickish locations that you really don't want to trick off of. The final S-turn is pretty tricky-- you want to pray Resetti doesn't show up on the left-hand side of the track, start wide, and take that first turn as tight as you can take it.

The hardest part is how hard the AI blatantly cheats on this stage. There's just something about this stage in particular where the AI will just take off directly in front of you and never give up that spot. I'm pretty sure I only won because eventually they got beaned with a blue shell and I managed to get a foothold in 1st place.

You need to be a badass first.
There was an update today that now unlocks Mirror Mode and 200cc automatically for anyone that didn't already. So now every single difficulty is out from the get go.

Also I finally three-starred all the cups on 200cc and I feel powerful.

I believe that should be possible. If it didn't that would be dumb (though I could understand for Mirror Mode).

Really? I assumed it was locked to 150? I spent the last week doing 4 time trials and then immediately playing that cup in 150 for 3stars and my mind will seriously be blown if they were two different classes, it definitely felt the same.

It is for "Worldwide" or "Regional". You can set custom rules though and play against whoever else set those same rules.

"I'm using tilt controls" should cover that.

Nope, 200CC and Mirror both don't unlock the previous things. Makes sense though, they all play quite differently
