Is multiplayer cross platform between Wii U and switch or are they separate?

Separate. The Switch one has slightly different mechanics from the Wii U one--no fire hopping, dual item carry, purple boost.

I already unlocked the pikmin amiibo suit before this update???

I think the update makes the game compatible with the Pikmin amiibo coming out with the new game. It's worded strangely.

Edit: if you play local multiplayer for the first time after starting the game, it always has smart steering automatically on for players 2-4 and that is really stupid I wish they would change that.

Also my wife and I keep hitting bananas that aren't actually visible until we are right in front of them. It's like the image hasn't loaded until it's impossible to avoid. Happened twice in the hour we played tonight.

Some tracks on 200cc are balls and not very fun*, but others become insanely fun.

Dolphin Shoals, SNES Rainbow Road, Excitebike, Wild Woods, Mario Stadium, Baby Park, and Ribbon Road are some of my favorites for 200cc.

You have to get at least one star on every cup on Mirror to get one of the gold items. And beat all the Time Trial ghosts for another. The last one just requires 5000 coins.

Coming in first in every cup on 200cc unlocks Gold Mario. I thought there was going to be a 200cc mirror mode but I think that may have been a translation error?

Random choice of 100 or 150cc until you reach over 3000 VR, then it's 150, mirror, or 200

Correct but it's also mostly 150cc at that level. One of the latest updates lowered the chances of mirror and 200cc games which is nice.

Did you grind for coins? I'm almost at 6000 and have like 700 to go before I get that.

Mwaha ha HA ha!
My rating is up to 3400 or so but I still rarely see 150cc. I often get tossed into games with 1000 rated people though. Should I be playing worldwide instead of North American regional or something? Does the average in the room need to be over 3k rating or what?

Argue
Sep 29, 2005

Yeah, I play worldwide and I'm always put into rooms with high average ratings. As soon as I hit 3000, I quit out and went back in and immediately I was dumped into a room where the average must have been 4k-5k and everyone knew what they were doing and even if you didn't get hit by any shells a single mistake could still get you severely punished.

Interesting. The one time I tried world wide mode the lag issues were terrible. I was getting that issue where you get nothing but coins no matter your position and stuff like that. That was before the most recent patch though so maybe it's improved.

My wife and I played through every cup on 50, 100 and 150. Then I went back and got three stars on all the 150 courses, and on mirror, and beat all the cups on 200. That got me to ~3300.

Let's see, on that date it would be 80 days since release, so the guy would have to average just under 1000 VR per day. Improbable but not really impossible if he had no life otherwise.

There’s a pretty decent guide on the main screen under “info”. Read all that stuff there. Also explains each battle mode.

if the smart steering and auto acceleration options aren't hand holding then I dunno what is..

They just updated the game btw guys, only one piranha plant can exist at a time now, they extended some of the invulnerability periods and you're even more likely to get better items the worse your position
