Thar Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 At first I thought I'd love it. But then I realized I suck and would probably constantly fall off the track. A better idea would be one based off the Secret Slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 These levels look like they gonna be SOOOO much fun on 150cc. Especially Mount Wario. DAMN, son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonk Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Mount Wario is a fun one. I've already beaten Mushroom Cup on 150cc and that race in Thwomp Ruins was epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicο Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 So in my first try on this one's Rainbow Road I died 5 times and come in 4th, a lot better than the Wii's one. I guess I am better at Mario Kart now but not as good as Agro. What did you get Agro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL Posted May 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 I still getting a feel of the game. Just beat the Mushroom cup on 50 cc They made Luigi faster.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonk Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Fornicate that ape DK. I slipped on one banana and ended up in 2nd place on 150cc Rainbow Road and didn't get 3 stars :( I felt like calling him a racial slur, but I'm not that base.

Flame Dragon Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Really want this game. Just with Dream Team and Tropical Freeze still needing to be finished and Pikmin 3 needing to get started I'm just falling so far behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I am better at Mario Kart now but not as good as Agro. What did you get Agro? I played it on 50cc and didn't fall off once and got 1st by a landslide. I'll get back to you when I've played it at 150cc I'm just trying to complete all the cups with 3 stars to start off. So far 5 for 5 in 50cc Shell cup felt a little underwhelming... I mean besides Moo Moo Meadows Music and GBA Mario Circuit's atmosphere, geez. EDIT: wait, when was it assumed that I'm really good at mariokart?

Because I heard how easy you find like every Rainbow Road, Agro-Senpai. I should still like Desu more but you like more things I do. <3 Also, I keep having Grumble Volcano problems, but that's kinda why I adore it. Finally placed first in it, and as such, got 3 stars on all 50cc cups. Tomorrow, I'll start 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Idk about every Rainbow Road. Double Dash Rainbow Road still causes me all sorts of issues. Lol, I just played Grumble Volcano. There's always one pitfall that gets me. Lightning Cup may be my second favorite behind Star Cup. I adore Tick Tock Clock and I like what they did with Piranha Plant Slide and N64 Rainbow Road.

Double Dash has always made me wish I had a Gamecube, but when the Wii came around, I never once thought to try and get it, although there we still some Gamecube games in stores. I... Well, I... I'm gonna have to say I can really agree on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonk Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Well, it's definitely harder than 7, but easier than Wii. At least in this game you don't get much of a penalty for falling off the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL Posted May 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 I finally beat all the cups at 50 cc....now to go for 100cc! Oh and I DO feel flying has been made more restrictive...so thats a downside. But at least the water was improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonk Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 I beat Special Cup with 3 stars on 150cc. Those AI become ridiculously spiteful by throwing all their Red Shells at the player character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why triple bananas are the best item for first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonk Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 That's why triple bananas are the best item for first place. Too bad they somewhat nerfed Triple Bananas in 8. Now, instead of lining up in a line, they circle around you. It might not seem like much, but now blocking against a shell after a banana is removed becomes luck-based rather than the guaranteed lines of defense the other games previously had. Actually, they nerfed the capability of using items defensively in general (such as not being able to get another item while you are holding out an item).

You can just drop the banana before the red shell hits you. But yea, making defensive item use a thing of the past is going to be interesting.

DL Posted May 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 They DID make the thing that blocks the blue shell....and also deals damage to anyone around you XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonk Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 They DID make the thing that blocks the blue shell....and also deals damage to anyone around you XD It's a fair trade-off. Giving us a weapon against the frickin' Blue Shell in exchange for Defensive Item power seems logical. Though, I hate how 50% of the time it feels like I'm getting the Coin item and my opponent gets the Red Shell and immediately chucks it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 The only nerf defensive items got was not being able to use 2 of them. All the rest are still the same as long as you know how to play them. It makes you reconsider whether to waste a shell or a banana to get ahead of one opponent in exchange for losing a defensive item. Plus Bananas now defend all sides of you instead of just behind you. The real nerf might be the triple mushrooms, which can now be stolen if you're not careful. Also, I managed to Super Horn a Blue Shell on Dry Dry Desert... of which's name is funny now, btw, because it has an oasis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
