Mario Kart 8 Official General Discussion

[AkatsukiYoshi]

But that's the thing, there was extreme demand for both Cheese land and Ribbon road.

Of the returning DLC tracks 3 of them are on their 3rd round. And exclusing Snes tracks (as they were all on the GBA MK) No track had ever returned twice until this DLC, in which we've had 3/7 return for a second time.
I just don't think the general rule of remade tracks not returning applies to the DLC, and the remaining 4 returning tracks may well return in the future. Especially since not every MK8 owner will get the DLC, so they're not really full returning tracks are they?

Edit: Also, DLC patch notes: www.gamefaqs.com/boards/700050-mario-kart-8/71630613
Kind of unhappy with this, because if they've included a note for 10 new miiverse stamps, but not a 48 track option or 4 new battle arenas, I'm guessing these things aren't being added. D:

Also Manda you'll be able to put the map on screen now.

The new miiverse stamps sounds cool, but why just 10 extra? There should be stamps for all the DLC tracks and characters. That would be very cool. As for other notes in the patch I am disappointed to not see a patch in the item system or a patch for firehopping. It does say other bugs and so on so hopefully these "other bugs" means the things I just mentioned.

Maybe it is just a rumor. I can not imagine what those 10 stamps could be to be honest.

From what I heard it is the DLC characters, but that only makes 6. I have no idea what the other 4 could possibly be. I know that Time Trials could also get you stamps, but still that wouldn't make sense because why would you only include 4 stamps from DLC tracks when there are 16 DLC tracks? There is still a lot of mystery with this update. The only way we can know for sure is wait one more week for the release of the patch.

The character stamps is something which would make sense, i literally thought (i actually still do) the same as you. Hmmmmm...

Hey guys, when you play as the villager. Do you only get to play as a certain gender if its the same gender as your main Mii? Or is it a choice?

I would assume that it's like choosing your Mii. When you select the Villager, you get to select boy or girl.

Oh, ok then. But i'll play as the boy first.

I imagine it's either 6 characters and 1 for each cup. (maybe unlocked for completing all 4 tracks on TT)
Or 7 characters (both gendered villagers) and 3 you unlock by getting 1 star, 2 stars and 3 stars in all cups.

But it could be anything. Some might auto unlock with the software.

You can pick somehow, otherwise GX's wouldn't have a video of each gender.

In the next DLC (If they ever make one) You might expect Birdo, Bowser Jr. King Boo, Funky Kong, etc. But NOPE! They're gonna add more costume, metallic and baby clones!

Map display for all tracks. ~ cheese lands is only slightly different, nothing along the line of Ribbon road.

Also fruit on the AC track acts as mushrooms. o:

Truth be told, I'm avoiding most of the videos for now ---especially ones of full courses ---since I really want to genuinely experience them for myself when the DLC releases next week.

I can hardly wait. I hope Nintendo keeps up with this MK8 DLC trend. They're going to get some extreme longevity out of this game with things that are going to keep bringing players back to it.

Yup, only six days left. And I was so mad that I had to wait that long for it to come out, I was patient enough. This DLC will be my very late Christmas present, because the 1st one wasn't really my style. Dragon Driftway, a little bit.
