Mario Kart 8 Official General Discussion


Some good points in here. Am now thinking we'll get;

AC track
3d world track - potentially as a new casino-y rainbow road
woods track
metro track
baby park
neo bowser city
Pikmin, Kirby or Pacman track
Another retro game track - most likely gba as there's only 1 from gba so far, and all other games have 3 or 4 with dlc other than snes with 2.

Still hoping for Daisy Hills though!

I could see Neo Bowser City because of how popular it is, but what is the deal with Baby Park? I was never a fan of that course, plus it came back in Mario Kart DS. I would much rather save spaces for courses that haven't gotten remade at all yet.

Also, I was looking at the Wiki page a while ago... did you guys know that each character has "rivals" that will always be in a race against you when you play as that character offline? It was in MK7 at least. I totally did not know that lol I thought it was pretty cool.

Yeah i saw it on the Super Mario Wiki but i never really noticed it, it was really noticeable in Mario Kart 7 and Mario Kart 64 (Mario Kart 64 was awful in terms of AI it was insane!)

Also, i do not understand the popularity of Baby Park either, it was cool on the GameCube because of the item craze but those items which created the mess do not exist anymore! Baby Park had it's time, we have to move on and i think that Nintendo will not choose Baby Park anyways because i'm sure of it that they have something more fun and original to surprise us with.

And yes, Baby Park was remade earlier but so were Yoshi Circuit and SNES Rainbow Road. Those are quite different because more people will enjoy them more! Baby Park is just too plain for Mario Kart 8's standards. I think Baby Park might get a chance in the next portable Mario Kart, that would make sense.

Knew about this a long time.

The Rivals for the villager are gonna be Isabelle and a random rival.
Same for Isabelle, but mirrored.
Dry Bowser's is going to be regular Bowser and a random racer.

Neo Bowser city and Baby park are both named in the sound files that were put in with DLC pack 1. (along with woods, metro and the AC course) And even though it's not a definite confirmation, I imagine it'll turn out true.
And I love the course, provided it has a decent number of laps and items can still travel over the middle barrier. I'd love to shells only race on there, and it'd also be cool if it was set as a battle track.

I literally just saw that when I was making my last post because I wanted to see if they generally spaced out where retro tracks come from. ~ Which they don't, but there is a real lack of the 2D snes and gba tracks in mk8.

Lol how do you know that already or is it just a prediction? It would be funny if Isabelle's and Villager's second rival would be Link (Cross over versus cross over!) and it would make more sense if Dry Bowser's rival was Tanooki Mario and Tanooki Peach. (Isn't possible though if you do not have both DLC packs or have only pack 2 downloaded. Who the hell has bought only one DLC pack by the way? I know some people who do not have the DLC and i know a lot who have bought both, but i know nobody who bought only one pack!)

Its a prediction, and its obvious that they can be rivals.

Ahh okay, it is funny how they would be rivals then because Isabelle and Village used to be friends in their home franchise, Dry Bowser as a rival would be better if you come to think of it... hmmm
 
Can't wait for that Baby Park confirmation!!
Hope they make the whole little course anti-gravity too heh.

Anyway, is anyone trying to race in a few?
Whether it be 1v1 or just following online?

Well i can play in a hour i guess
 
Forgot to mention this earlier:
I also find it funny how they mentioned the fact that the AC course should match your current time because I was literally thinking about how they should've done that the past few days. They should make it to where you view it at your current time of day while others view it as theirs.

I probably worded that wrong.

I'll take you on Jav :rolleyes:
 
Alrighty, I'm ready to play now.
Let me know if you're trying to get down with the get down!
 
GGs guys! I need to go out before it starts storming again. I'll be on later tonight!
 
Yes, GG's indeed!
I'll probably be available tonight after work.
I'll post in here!
 
Spring, Summer and Autumn all have a different title theme from AC. (WW and CF have the same one)
Can't remember the order. Winter is the only track with a different tune it seems. ~ though I hope 8pm saturdays have 4 K.K. songs, 1 for each track.

Also; Pirahna Plant Pipeway 200 cc video anyone?
Somehow I think this is this week's trailer for the DLC.

I know right.
Expecially since the last pack Gamexplain (and other channels) got to play and show the tracks a week in advance. I'd rather the news get spread out than get it all at once then. Plus it's more fun wondering how the track is laid out before seeing the full thing.

Yeah. But there is tomorrow. We could expect a trailer for that.
