I gotta say, I too like Koopa Troopa too, but I don't really play as him.
200cc is no match for me! Even the sharpest turns can't stop me (On some levels that is)
 
Looks like my new battle main is the male Villager... at least until I get the Villager amiibo lol.

His smiling face just screams "fite me m8".
 
On online play, while I raced on Ribbon Road, on the final lap I accidentally fell. Then a lightning strike occurred, I didn't get shrunk because I was still being held onto by Lakitu. Talk about accidental luck!
 
Just 3-starred the new cups up to mirror. Haven't tried any grand Prix on 200CC yet.
 
What's your guys favorite course from the new DLC. mine is Wild Wood because it's very nice looking and I'm in love with the song to it.

Someone fight me 1v1 200 CC Bombs only pls /s.

I did a GP of Manda's stream and a 3 GPs of a post-stream froom. Really fun.
 
For those of you who are already good at 200cc do you find you actually have to use the brake button (1 button for me as I'm a tilt steerer on Wii Mote)? Or does just letting off the gas (2 button for me) suffice? I've only dabbled in like 4 courses on 200cc (haven't had the time after getting good at the new DLC courses on 150cc and Mirror).

I can already tell 200cc will take me a lot of practice before I get good at that mode as back in the day I even found 100cc too difficult lol. Practice has made all the difference as I'm now even pretty good at mirror. Just need to work on 200cc! ^.^

I was using the brake on certain turns so I wouldn't fall off or wreck. XD I need to time my drifts correctly or I'll end up in second or something.
 
I find I don't need to brake as much as I probably should, I just anticipate when I should start drifting to ensure that I actually make it through the turn.

Usually I just let off the gas and that works wonders.

I don't like the sharp turns though. I always fall.
 
We don't have 200cc on our Mario kart 8. Is there an issue or do I need to reset the system?
 
You need to update it first.


WAIT WHAT STEVE IS FIRENINJA I AM SHELL SHOCKED.

I feel that on 200CC just drive off course if it means a small slow down, mainly because if you're drifting you're moving so fast that the turbo boost won't cut out and you'll still be able to use it after you cross without bumping into a wall.
