Mario Kart 8 Official General Discussion

I have no idea what just happened but I was in a race in Dry Dry Desert while in 1st. I think I was technically front running, but 2nd place was a bit behind me. All of a sudden, someone throws a Spiny Shell and me and 2nd split during the lake section. I really don't think they somehow "technically" passed me (like in the split paths in Yoshi Valley) for the brief moment that we split up, but for some reason the Spiny Shell suddenly stopped chasing me and all I hear is an explosion behind me, along with a red shell chasing me down. Luckily, I had a banana, but I burst into laughter after going through all that within a few seconds on the final lap a few corners from the finish line.

There's the sugar! But don't mind the hidden icon thingy, it was the best I could do honestly.
 
My god, Zig, 150 global feels so slow. I'm dying here.

Also I hope you're happy with that first, I took out 2nd's red shell for you and then got smashed into 11th immediately... :c


Also I took a ton of printscreens when the trailor videos were out while they were HQ full screened. So they'd match my laptop size. :p Much easier for backgrounds.

Lord I know it's like moving .5 miles an hour. Wanna switch? :p

Oh and speaking of 1st, I got a Spiny Shell during Baby Park in 2nd and took the lead with half a lap to go! :D
 
Once you get used to 200cc. 150cc feels like 100cc or 50cc. Can I join in a few too?

Maybe, I am still kind of furious over the cpus bull**** on 200 cc grand prixs. But I only have 3 cups left to 3 star now.

Also I just got DC'd the moment I past the line, and it won't let me reconnect. :c But I saw someone hit a clownface in the box with a star and it flailed everywhere and made me glad I fell off and got to witness this.

And yeah, join too. more the hairier.

Pretty sure the item boxes just gave me ruppees 7 times in a row just then. ****dat

Sent a friend request. If you meant me to join. And its 200cc is it?
 
uh do you mean the stats on the menu screen? I'm pretty sure they update automatically I'm not sure what you're asking
I mean like Favorite Course, character, vehicle, tires and glider. That's what I meant. You press the select button on the main menu.

It's just whatever you play most. You can't change it immediately. So if you want the AC course to be your favorite, play on it a few hundred times.

Ok, so I go to vs race and play as the person I love the most, and set the race count to 32 and spam the course I want to play on the most? I'll try that.

I don't even know why they call it "favorite". "Most Played" is the better term.
It's been like that for a few Mario Karts now.
The cool thing is you can see which course you've played the most.

I actually kinda see why. As they ARE one of your favorites.

Oh, and I miss that feature in MK7 where you can create your own cup with your favorite courses. Or did they bring that back?
