The Mario Kart Thread

I’m horrible at trying to beat these Fast Staff ghosts. Been even trying to emulate them turn by turn, wheelie by wheelie, drift by drift. Should I switch from using Koopa/Bullet Bike?

bullet bike is hard to drive. just use the mach bike with daisy.

bullet bikes not hard its real good for cutting corners and drifting.

Are you blind? When did I say that? Items would help out the lower placed drivers,yeah you might get out in 1 place by yourself but you might get smacked with red a purple shells too and back to 12th you go.

This is what I have been saying, and I am the blind one?

Anyone here use automatic?

I’m about to go back to automatic to wean myself off of trying to drift every turn just so I can unlock these expert ghosts.

Whats the point of automatic? You can’t mini-turbo.

I’m also now officially over 9,000 in ranks. I’ve seen a three star GIRL(Using Diasy) that got up to 9999 which as far as the ranaking goes.

Automatic is inferior to Manual. The only pro I see with automatic is that you can partition your drift faster than in manual. But no mini turbo, and no turning while wheeling is no good.

Why are half the friend codes I registered from here still question marks? Including frequent posters in this thread. I’d like to play you people.

bullet bike is hard to drive. once u start drifting it turns sharply. which is extremely hard to drive if u arnt used to it. try giving a first time user the bullet bike in manual and see how mad they get.

While playing online have you guys ever finished 2nd or 3rd in a race but for some reason it came up as 3rd or 4th when the player list popped up? It’s rare but I’ve had it happen to me three times so far.

It’s the game masking lag. While you play, the game predicts where players will be and corrects it whenever data is received. The results are determined by a compiled list of actual race times taken from each player. They look like they finished behind you, but the actual time it took them to finish is lower than yours.

i guess im excluded from this comment then ive been on bullet bike since day one.

SSS already got it before i could so i second his quote. but shin ive played you once a while ago now but you beasted me, probably from all the time trial practices, ive been workin on my time trials against the worlds ghost just tryin to keep up so i can start getting the hang of tracks better. so far its ok just gotta keep goin for those better times now.

I used to play Mario + Mach Bike. Recently my wife started playing this, and plays Peach on the Mach Bike. Maybe I’m just imagining this, but whenever she’s in second place the chances of getting a mushroom are much higher than when you play with any other character.

Has anyone else noticed this or is it just a red herring?

If you’re in first you most likley get Banans and Green Shells with the occasional Fake Item. 2nd Place people get better items(Red Shells Triple Green Shells).

Yeah that’s standard though.

It just seems weird because when she plays with Peach (or when I select Peach) - it seems as if we get the mushroom a lot more often.

All I’ll say is there’s a hidden item stat, with the Quacker having the best one.
I registered you Okazaki III.
How 'bout some races ArcadeFire and DARKHOKAGE?

Stupid fucking busted Wifi cost me like 1,000 points worth today since I kept getting disconected for no goddamn reason and when you get disconected the game registers it as you droping from a race so it’s like -300 pts. I had 9,250 going in and now I have 8,256 =[

Goddamit Nintendo

That has happened to me so many times.

I’m looking foward to playing with some of yall but i won’t get my wii back in over a month (i’m moving)
my number is 4682- 9080- 8893
my wii is IrOn_MaN

The hot shit to play is
Baby Daisy - B bike
Daisy- Mach
Funky Kong - spear (this setup kinda sucks when you get into the 150cc and mirror matches because of it’s horrible turning radius)
Dry Bones- magi cruiser (seems to be good but i don’t really like this)

as for the comment about the automatic vehicles Funky Kong- Jetsetter on Automatic will beat majority of people online. This works better than Manual for me because it has better turning on Auto and the boosts you would normally get for manual suck anyways.

yea man for sure… always welcome a challenge… im on right now if anyone wants to join up

daisy is my new love… yoshi still my homie though lol
