Just letting you know that item hacks have been out for this game for a few months.
Proof? How come anytime me or someone else asks about it, the response is "there's no hacks for WiiU/MK8 yet", even recently.

Also when I said stars and bullets in 2nd place, I myself am getting them in 2nd place. I got a bullet in 2nd on the last item box on Rainbow Road (the new one) on the last lap. Lol I sure didn't need that, no one would have.
Yeah, I get them in second place too.
Hacks have been out on MK8 for... 6 months? Check out MrBean's channel, he has everything there.

8 months, so pretty much right after the game was released. Back then it was just changing the names of courses, but it's gotten crazier since then.

Why would they hack a star/bullet for me when I'm in 2nd, it's not even causing any or enough havoc. Pretty much nothing happens except little things that make me question why the game is slightly off.
Other than the people who get miles ahead and the rare times someone seems to have lightning or shell power, I don't think hacks apply to the issues me and others have brought up before. There's no indication that someone would waste their time on such small small annoyances when they can play "ruin da game" with 100 lightnings. But if that's what passes as a hack for the lols these days then alright. We use to know how to have fun back in the day.
At least if you're going to hack the game why not have a good time? What's the point of hacking so you just win every time with ease or mess with the item which seemingly do nothing? Yawn. LOL Guess I'd prefer to be Mrs Shell or Thundastorm.
The mushroom thing though, that clearly has to be on the game's side. When there's like 9 or less people and no one gets anything but coins and mushrooms....

The crazy items in 2nd place are because the person is 1st place is decently far ahead of you. Your item selection is determined on the distance between you and first, but for some reason the selection is programmed to give out bullet bills and crazy 8s to people closer to first and mushrooms for people further behind. If you've got a 22000 VR in with a load of 2000 VR's then they'll likely be so far ahead it'll screw the items up for everyone.
On the item hacks, so far as I know they can't do anything useful with so far. It requires pausing to change what item the game tries to give you, so not helpful online. (thank god!) And most items dont work or take half the properties of the item the game loaded, and half the properties of the item they input. ~ So it seems we still have sometime before MKWs nonsense is replicated.

I am so glad you posted that it's in 10 minutes. Because the clocks didn't change here so I would have been wildly late. o:

IIRC Bean promised something about not releasing the codes; either he wasn't going to release them to the general public at all or he was going to delay them. I'm thinking it was the former of the two.
I'm in the mood for some racing! I'll add you. My NNID is MysticTenderloin and my Mii's name is LaShawndae

There's space now Hyogo.
Awh, if I had known you wanted on I would have gotten off earlier. Sorry to hear that Hyogo. If you have a Twitch account you should join in the chat on Manda's stream and let us know you want in. Several people were more than willing to sit out a few races to let others get a turn.

I also find if your internet is slow like mine, turning on audio only in Mobile Twitch makes stream run more smoothly with no buffering. It's not like you need the video anyways if you yourself are playing.

If you'd come into chat, we were swapping people out so other people got the chance to play. I didn't even know you were on or coming, since you didn't say anything about it today. :/ People were happy to take turns tonight. There just happened to be a lot of people.

Thanks for the stream!
And special thanks for the mirror shells cup!
Because I love races with random rules, and because "The race ended because you were too far behind." being displayed at me John and LabelleFleur when we were still only about 75% of the way through lap 3 and being lapped made me laugh harder than I have all year.
I was trying so hard to finish but we kept all getting triple reds and hitting each other, and Nintendo must have thought we were doing so bad that we had to be trolling. xD

Oh my GOSH that was just too much!
Last race of the night, I pick Yoshi Circuit because I figured ah who cares it's the last race it probably won't eve-BAM, picked, frantic.
Last lap, nearing the end of the course. Only Yoshi's boot to go. All of a sudden, Jingle Bullet Bill's into 1st, bypassing all who cross his path. Suddenly, a Spiny Shell appears as if from no where and chases him down. Within a split second I get a Bullet Bill and shoot forward. Knocking through 5 people in front of me, I reach Jingle, when suddenly, BOOM, Spiny Shell socks it to 'im. Fast as light I flash through untouched still going strong with the Bullet Bill. I return to normal state right in time for the item boxes, plowing through in first and I get a MUSHROOM of all things (I'd say those are pretty rare). Nothing left to stop me, I joyfully drift up to the finish line, use my mushroom, do a little jump-hop, and whoosh across. Not only did I hit a bunch of people, a Spiny Shell hit first, and I also bypassed and still got a mushroom.
Like holy wow was that intense. Especially in the replay because you can see the screen flash white in slow motion, then slowly see Larry flip in agony as a Bullet Bill skims right passed him, showing mercy.
I'M SORRY MANDA DON'T KILL ME.
But that was really fun! Thanks again! I had a (SpinyShellBulletBillRedShellRacingMushroom) BLAST!
