Mario Kart 8 Official General Discussion

[Paperboy012305]

I believe I've seen Punchy before, can't remember.
Though I do know one of the "villagers" is Rover, don't know why they threw him in like that instead of making him act like an NPC.

I love how three of my villagers are on the track. c:

Because you have 4 wolves living in your town. Unfortunately, the only dreamy I see in the course is Chrissy and Marshal. Why no Kid Cat and Mira?

Yup. Technically 4 on the track are mine since I just lost Chief the other day and replaced him with Wolfgang. c:

My question is, why no Stitches or Julian?

 

[Paperboy012305]

And they are: Chrissy, Francine, Marshal, Static, Filbert, Poppy and Bunnie??? I swear I saw Bunnie in the AC course, or its just my imagination.

Yeah. Before the final version of the DLC, they rejected the idea of putting Ducks and Bears as spectators.

I'm going to be honest, the DLC packs really breathed some life into my game after not being able to play it for a while! I was honestly not motivated to start console gaming again until I purchased them I'm not the best player either, but I think I'm learning some good techniques! I've been working my way up from where I left off at 100cc and now I'm trying to 3-star all of my 150cc cups. I also tried 200cc and I'm just going to say, yeah that's not going to be fun D:

 

[Zigzag991]

I finally got 3 stars on Bell cup, ~ so every cup ow. 8D Now I can finally avoid GP altogether.

inb4 Spiny Shell Cup is the hardest ever and you never beat it


Ha.



Haha.


HAHAHA


(But seriously I'm hoping those 3 cups will surface in the future.)

 

[Amissapanda]

Same time as always. I'll put a link closer to start time~

Pree certain they were just placeholder cups as Crossing/Bell/Triforce hadn't been thought up at the time.
Saying that though, I wonder if the data is still in the game now the dlc is out... If it is, then they're likely more than placeholders. (seeing as the places they held are now taken xP)

And yes all mario kart mondays.

3 cups left to 3 star in 200CC. Special (ugh Cloudtop Cruise and Rainbow Road), Egg (ugh Dragon Driftway and Mute City), and Bell (ugh Neo Bowser City and Big Blue).

I could swear a few courses in this game was designed to be played specifically on 200CC. Almost everything on such tracks flows perfectly at that speed.
Ribbon Road, Thwomp Ruins, Electrodrome, arguably Sunshine Airport, and Mute City are good examples of this flow. Ribbon Road in particular seems explicitly designed for it zel.

 

[Cress]

3 starred all 200CC cups. I'll have nightmares from the Bell cup, I only got first in Neo Bowser City twice. I also got 1st all 4 races of the Special Cup on my first try somehow.

FTFY 8P

Special cup I got 1st in all 4 before I even knew how to brake. I don't even know why.

Off topic: How come "Bell" and "Neo" were censored out when Jinglefruit quoted him/her?

On topic: I don't blame you for having trouble on Neo Bowser City. It's probably the hardest DLC course on 200CC, competing with Hyrule Circuit for that title. And doing the Special Cup in one try? You must be a fast learner to get around the two hardest turns in the entire game on Rainbow Road, zel.

Over here, I still need to 3 star the original tracks on 200CC. I already 3-starred the DLC tracks zel.

I censored them because bell cup and NBC gave me so much trouble I figured they should be classed as swear words. (Hence the Fixed that for you.)

The thing with special cup is the computers seem unable to drive too. I ended up miles ahead of them just because there was only 1 corner I had difficulty on, and I just let go of A when I reached it lap 2 and 3. The only cups that gave me real difficulty was Crossing and Bell cups, and I assume that's because they were made and programmed while 200cc was being developed and they paid more attention programming the cpu for those 8 tracks.

I'm pretty sure it was my first time playing RR on 200cc too, and it was the 3rd or 4th 200cc GP I attempted.

 

[Panazel Maria]

Oops, didn't know what FTFY was then zel XD

Yeah the computers struggle on some of the courses, especially ones where it's very easy to fall off due to the increased speed. WiiU Rainbow Road and SNES Rainbow Road are great examples of their struggles; in fact, SNES Rainbow Road is a taffy-stroll on 200CC due to its colorful color of doom tossing the AI into Lakitu's time-occupying rescue frenzy.

Still love the mode regardless. Now if only there was a Time Trial leaderboard for 200CC...

I did RR on 200CC a few times before trying the cup, and I think I did Cloudtop Cruise once as well. Special Cup was the last non-DLC cup I did.
Crossing Cup wasn't too hard, I just got item haxed a lot. (Not as much as the Bell Cup, but still quite a bit.)
