Mario Kart 8 Official General Discussion

Wait I thought Baby Park was just a rumor, dispelled by the "fact" that it didn't show up in any images or text put out by Nintendo. Idk, it's been ages since people actually posted the rumored tracks lol.
I'm so mixed about that one being a retro course, it's so stupidly simple but the hectic item barrages made it fun. They should have just added that to the battle course selection.

HOLY CRAP TBH, I didn't think of Gracie's Car for the Villager's car. Too bad it might be a little mixed genderish, boy villager with sorta girly car, people would be like wat. But I'd love it anyway, maybe still a leopard print seat haha Def would love the grass pattern umbrella for the glider. Dunno about tire theme.

Well if Bowser can ride the Cat Cruiser I don't think anything's too far fetch'd.

 

[FireNinja1]

If they're going to make an AC themed glider make it the broken umbrella. You fall as soon as you deploy it

Unless you put cushion wheels on that Cat Cruiser, Bowser will be too kawaii.

 

[Zigzag991]

Omg yes broken umbrella that'd be so awesome.

Is villager going to be just the male one? I wonder if they will surprise us with a female option like how the shy guys and yoshis have multi colors. They would only have to make 2 options, male and female lol

Well, apparently the track list with baby park and Koopa city was ripped from the sound file shortcuts in the games coding. So if that's true (which it hasn't been contested, so I'm assuming it is), then it sort of has been confirmed by nintendo.
Hopefully 4 new battle courses from the DLC selection get patched in too. Really it only requires tracks that have no 1 way ramps in them, so I don't see why it shouldn't happen.

I could also see a rocket gyroid being used for a kart/bike option after Villagers side B in smash.

YES.
Okay, I want this now. Makes so much sense, and is pretty universal.

I'm really hoping this does happen. Also more colours for toads and koopas. ~ because Shy Guys and Yoshis were apparently added because they already had character models from the background of the tracks. And the same goes for Toads and Koopas.

Agreed! Really hoping there's that option to change from male to female, and maybe even have like 3 or 4 different outfits for the females and males, similar to villager in smash bros. (I doubt that will happen but hey)

Oh I see, well it may be possible. I can't say any of those tracks get me super excited though haha Yeah new battle courses would be nice but I really am betting a no on that one too ~_~

OMG I didn't know thats why they added the other colors, sheesh that seems silly anyway, all they have to do is change 2 colors, the clothes/body and the shoe color. Pfft, either way I bet people would throw a fit, MORE COLORS!? WHY NOT MORE CHARACTERS!?

 

[Cress]

Was anybody really against the Yoshi and Shy Guy colors though? And I know a lot of people want more Toad colors (including myself) so I could see then doing it as a preorder bonus for a 3rd and 4th pack of DLC if they end up wanting to make more.

Also more amiibo costumes. There's almost 30 now and only 12 (kinda 13 since Toon Link unlocks Link's costume.) have costumes

I'll be playing online again tonight if anyone wants to join!
Trying to get that VR at 10k.

 

[Cress]

Mine isn't even at 3k yet but I really don't care.

- - - Post Merge - - -

Nevermind, I'm just over 3k

 

[Byngo]

ohh I'm in the mood to play

 

[Zigzag991]

I'll join in when ya' start!

 

[Espurr96]

Neo Bowser City would actually be a really cool track, and I want my favorite series of tracks to come back, the GBA Bowser Castles!

Do you get shoved in with a new tier of people around then? I'm closing in on 7000 lol...

 

[Jinglefruit]

If people are playing, I'll jump in. ~ so long as its within the next couple hours.

 

[LaBelleFleur]

I'm up to race if anyone's around.

 

[oranges_ate_you]

Why is Mario Kart 8 online so janky

 

[n64king]

Okay I kinda have to agree that the online is getting weird. The items are screwed up, stars and bullets in 2nd place? What the hell? Also played against a duo that had the same Mii but different names, one was Thundastorm and the other was Mrs Shells, and we got hit by lightning about 5 times one race and the other person seemingly could avoid red shells, but not green. Also wondering why I keep getting put in rooms with people who have VR scores around mine but then a random 22,000 pointer will be in there who's impossible to beat.
