Mario Kart 8 Official General Discussion

[Zigzag991]

Well hey, at least it'll be easier to get on that one ramp in SNES Rainbow Road that you have to go out of your way to get.

I remember staying up until like 3am to download the first pack. I was playing until like 7am after that. Sucks how other timezones got it before we did.

But I also saw those crystal (platinum?)-looking trophies. Was that for the 200cc class or a whole new level of rank? Either way, it means it's time to play GP again!

 

[Zigzag991]

Pretty sure those were silver?


Last DLC I set my alarm and woke up as soon as they released it, it just took another hour and half to actually figure out how to download it. 2

 

[Pokemanz]

Maybe. I wasn't really paying attention so I thought I saw something.

Nintendo only got silver on their own game. Wow.

 

[Zigzag991]

Here's a longer listening to the track music for the Animal Crossing course!

I'm thinking they're gonna be slightly different depending on the season, as you can start here jingling bells while they show clips of the track in winter.

I sooo wanna play 200 cc purely because i am going to suck at it, and i would love to be bad in a game once again! I remember being proud of myself when me and my dad got 6th place on 50 cc on Mario Kart: Double Dash!! That actually was a lot more fun than how it is now, winning every match with ease so it isn't even special anymore.

Ooh, not bad really. I bet the season changes by randomize.

Can't wait to hear more news!

omg, look how much quicker the race goes. o.o;
2 laps of 150cc will be almost 3 laps of 200 cc in time. o:

I am kind of wondering if 200cc will be worth it online. It'll take longer to pick the next track and load than playing a race.


Also, I wonder if firehopping will be patched out. And Time Trials will be on 200 cc so it makes an even playing field?

Ik! 200cc is going to be WILD! I hope 200cc online will only be on from time to time.

I assume 200cc will only be available through custom rules online like Mirror and Frantic.

At least I sure hope so...

 

[Paperboy012305]

Hey guys, have you noticed this before?

They updated it, and they revealed the hidden image. Turns out its the season change to the Animal Crossing course, its the same thing. Nothing like Baby park. And hey, they removed that one tree course, why? Looks like a fun course to me.

 

[Pokemanz]

I wish they had a thing where you could connect to your New Leaf game and upload your mayor to play as. That would be awesome.

I wonder if there will be any other DLC packs after this? Maybe that tree course will be later DLC?

I thought of that too.

I'm sure there will, they might announce it after release. Or at E3.

I would like to see Star Fox X Mario Kart 8 and Kirby X Mario Kart 8 as the next DLC Packs.

Analysis of the Animal Crossing track!

They forgot 1 thing, coins have stars on them, just like bells! I wonder if they'll make the bell "ching!" noise when you collect them!

 

[Holla]

This has me beyond excited! The course is adorable, I love the Female villager and the City Tripper Scooter! Also looks like the season changes each time you play the course, that's super cool! Can't wait for the 23rd! ^.^

I was wondering why the coins are just ordinary coins, but they're not.

Haha typo on my part, but yeah the 23rd is even better! ^.^

That would be super awesome, and also something I can totally see them putting in - they did the rupee sound effects for the LoZ course, after all.

I absolutely LOVE how much effort and time they put into making the course authentically Animal Crossing. There is so much detail. It's really incredible. I can already tell that this is probably going to be one of my absolute favorite tracks.

The only thing I'm going to have to watch out for is to keep my eyes on the racing and not all the cool little awesome Animal Crossing details/characters/buildings/scenery/references, etc. There's just so much! The video covered a lot of stuff I definitely missed. They do a great job.
