Post by: SlowPokemon on June 13, 2014, 08:05:21 PM
Hey! This is a discussion topic for this game. Who's your guys' favorite racer overall, and favorite new racer?

For my brother it's the same--for some reason he loves playing as Ludwig. For me, some of my favorites are Rosalina, Baby Luigi, Baby Rosalina, and Koopa Troopa (with my favorite Koopaling being Larry).

I've never played it yet but my fav is Toad. He's always my favorite.

Hadn't played Mario Kart 7 so this was a huge surprise. Zero-gravity, flying, and underwater? Wat. Still loads of fun though. They've stuck to what makes Mario Kart great.

A little disappointed by the fact that secret characters will race you as CPUs before you even unlock them. And they're all Koopalings -.- Very little thought there.
Title: Re: Mario Kart 8
Post by: SlowPokemon on June 13, 2014, 08:59:47 PM
^i thought that at first, but all the Koopalings are really unique when you actually use them and it finally lets me differentiate between them.
Title: Re: Mario Kart 8
Post by: Crazy Hand on June 13, 2014, 10:14:00 PM
I am still just always baby Luigi...
But I really like
A)Anti-gravity
B)Multiple players can be the same character
C)Custom karts
D)Bob-ombs only mode (has anyone else tried this?)
E)Multi-player grand prix

Post by: MaestroUGC on June 13, 2014, 10:42:03 PM
My main racer is Metal Mario, since they seem to not keep King Boo around for these games.

My favorite newcomer is Pink Gold Peach because it gives credence to me Metal Mario/Metal Peach fan-fiction.

Post by: DonValentino on June 14, 2014, 01:05:42 AM
My mains are Luigi, Wario and Waluigi since MKDS, and my favorite Koopalings are Larry and Morton. Still, I'm kinda disappointed with the newcomers... I hope they add Diddy, King Boo or Dry Bowser eventually as DLC. :-\
Title: Re: Mario Kart 8
Post by: Petpetfood on June 14, 2014, 01:31:28 AM
Favorite racer is Rosalina, and I guess my favorite newcomer is the baby version of her

they really must have ran out of ideas when including the seven koopa kids  ???

The gameplay changes are great since there is a much larger emphasis on skill, while retaining the luck elements of what makes mario kart special

Anyone want to race sometime?

Post by: fingerz on June 16, 2014, 04:23:37 PM
I swear to god Wario says "Seig Heil!" whenever you select him. It's kinda funny but slightly politically wrong. :P

In fact, most of the characters are hilarious when you select them! Shy Guy has me in stitches 'cause I always take the piss outta his noises, and Morton sounds like he's just hiccuped! XD

Me? DK all the way. Always has been, always will be. ;)

THOUGH, I must say that the drift mechanics and start boost in this game annoy me to no end. They're different from Mario Kart 7 in a bad way, so it stuffs me up when I go to play MK7 again...  >:(
Title: Re: Mario Kart 8
Post by: Sebastian on June 16, 2014, 04:40:59 PM
Why do drift mechanics and start boost piss you off?
Title: Re: Mario Kart 8
Post by: fingerz on June 16, 2014, 06:09:44 PM
Well, in order to turn ANY sharp corner, I have to turn into the corner as hard as I possibly can to make it around. It's kinda annoying, considering how well-balanced the drift system was in MK7. Seriously, I've tried all sorts of different combinations in MK8 and none of them have anywhere near as good handling as those in MK7. Plus, the combinations that have awfully low handling in MK8 play pretty much the exact same way as those that have supreme handling! Weird, I say... O.o

The start boost is far too early. It stuffs me up for MK7, so that's why it annoys me.

Post by: fingerz on June 20, 2014, 08:18:46 PM
WELL, I FIGURED OUT WHY THE DRIFT WAS SO SHIT.

It turns out that characters DO matter in this game. Never before have I played a Mario Kart game that penalises you much for choosing a heavy character. And since when was DK a heavyweight?? He's never been that before! Now he can't turn corners for peanuts!! :(

So, I've decided to go for Toad. I was originally Toad back in MK64 and MKDS until I kept getting smashed off Rainbow Road in DS... You could do some ridiculous things to lightweights back in that game... XD

So yeah, I'm now Toad!! I can finally drift around corners again!! Not quite as good as MK7, but it'll do. Now I just need internet. ;)
Title: Re: Mario Kart 8
Post by: MaestroUGC on June 20, 2014, 08:21:51 PM
DK has always been a heavyweight since 64.

Title: Re: Mario Kart 8
Post by: SlowPokemon on June 20, 2014, 09:43:50 PM
Uh, you figured out nothing (or at least I still don't understand your issue). I find that the heavy characters are actually way better to use in Mario Kart 8, and usually I use lightweights in the other games.
Title: Re: Mario Kart 8
Post by: MaestroUGC on June 20, 2014, 09:49:48 PM
Yeah, I find that the heavies control much better in this game than they have in the past, of course this is mitigated by the whole customization thing. I generally go for a mostly balanced ride anyway, allows me to run through the courses however the situation demands and doesn't force me to rely on keeping my lines when sh*t is going down around me.

Flexibility is key in the game.
Title: Re: Mario Kart 8
Post by: K-NiGhT on June 20, 2014, 11:21:57 PM
Nah heavies are pretty much still OP if you don't suck at turning. Honestly this game should be called Rosalina Kart 8.

No, he wasn't a middleweight. He was "cruiser" which is between middle and heavy.

You know I kid! Using motion controls is bloody hard... XD

You don't know about inside drift? It came about with bikes in Mario Kart Wii! Some of them didn't drift outwards when they go to turn a corner and instead drift into the corner you're going around, greatly cutting down your time and making it a superior vehicle to use. You'll understand it once you see the video below:


That's why you could catch up to me even when I had about double your speed stat. :P

After the music of Cloudtop Cruise, I don't have any doubts that orchestral music in Mario Kart is actually workable. Still, I think the more electronic and catchy themes are better usually.

Various Rainbow Roads would be nice. Baby Park would be cool, especially with 12 player karts. It would even more PURE MADNESS. N64's Wario Stadium and the DS's Shroom Ridge would be also good.

I'm more excited to see the new courses, personally. Ice, Ice Outpost is one of my favorite courses and is really fun. I would really like to them to fix up Battle mode, which has kinda been a sorry pile of "meh" since Mario Kart 7. Mario Kart 8's even worse!

I don't think so. Nintendo kept all the Donkey Kong titles as their IP. They also released Diddy Kong Racing on DS. So maybe.

Nintendo kept Donkey Kong and all the related material because they owned the IP, everythings else Rare came up with on their own so now Microsoft technically owns them.

Post by: ZeldaFan on March 06, 2015, 08:32:54 AM
Yeah I saw that he was in the DLC.
But it can't be that expensive can it?

"Both DLC packs will feature three new characters, four vehicles, and eight courses each. Simply called "The Legend of Zelda X Mario Kart 8" and "Animal Crossing X Mario Kart 8," the DLC packs are available separately but can also be purchased as a bundle at a lower price. Each pack costs $7.99 on its own but players buying the bundle need only pay $11.99."
Source (http://www.techtimes.com/articles/14163/20140828/mario-kart-8-dlc-new-playable-racers-prices-release-dates.htm)

That's a good price for all that stuff! Pfff, I'd pay that to get Link

True. But it's worth it :P
It originally starts with 30 characters and 32 Courses which is the same amount Mario Kart Wii has.
If you buy the DLC, you get 6 more characters and 16 more courses. Making it 36 characters and 48 courses which is worth about $75 bucks to me imo.(Lets's not forget the 8 colored Yoshis and Shy Guys).

You already got the full game, NoS. Yes, dlc is wrong when devs only provide you with part of the game and expect you to pay for the rest of the on-disc dlc. But that is not the same as this. A dedicated team has been working on this only after the game was launched, and it's not like we got less than the normal amount of tracks anyway.

This exactly. I'd be pissed if the disc came out with say.....25 courses. And they make you pay for the other 7. But this DLC is all extra.
Title: Re: Mario Kart 8
Post by: mikey on March 06, 2015, 10:08:57 AM
The thing is I didn't get the full game.  I couldn't join the NSM tournament because I don't have the DLC.  In otherwords, part of the game that I already purchased was inaccessible because I didn't have it.  In all honesty I didn't even pay 60 bucks for the game, I got a Wii U+MK8+Nintendo Land bundle for 180 bucks.  :P  Still, it's not worth paying 12 bucks for a few characters and maps that could have been in the game in the first place.  "Free" DLC like Mewtwo for smash, now that's good DLC.  Technically you still have to "pay" for it because of the redundancy of 2 systems, but you're not actually paying for the DLC itself.  Speaking of which, I can't wait for the Mewtwo code to come!

No. It seriously took 6 months for them to complete the first pack. Yes, they could have been free. But paid dlc is not inherently evil.

A general warning for used nintendo games: often, it is cheaper not to wait too long, especially if the game is on the rare side.
And most Nintendo games drop less in price. Skyward Sword is still $50.00. Ocarina of Time 3D s $60.00 on ebay and never went below $30.00 on amazon.

Fine, yes. You can get OoT for MSRP. However, I was using it as an example to prove a point about physical copies, so that is irrelevant. In fact, the existence of an alternative has probably kept the price from going up higher, but it has also stopped Nintendo from making more.

I'd choose Toad but I feel like I'll be continuously projectiled off courses by heavy characters that due to the fact that they're CPU's means they can actually drift around corners with the mastery of a lightweight.

I'd say it's because Nintendo has already been doing it for decades, just under a different name. In fact, they are VERY good at selling late-released DLC, not just for Smash 4.

Think about it:
*Yellow
*Crystal
*Emerald
*Platinum

In fact, any company that's been in the business of making "expansion packs" should know how to handle DLC well.

Still haven't bought any of the DLC yet because of the fact that they didn't bring back any of the battle arenas to fix battle mode. It also didn't help that every Mario character that comes with the DLC packs are all clones. (Tanooki Mario, Cat Peach and Dry Bowser? Why not Nabbit or Cranky Kong? Someone new for a change that isn't a clone or crossover character.) I was hoping at least ONE battle arena would return for the DLC pack 2 but nope, they brought back the worst course in the entire franchise instead. (Baby Park of all things...) All the update added that I liked were the Amiibo racing costumes, which are fun to collect, especially that Pac Man one that makes me want his Amiibo a lot.

Let's be honest here, the meat of these DLC packs are the courses. The icing on the cake are the newcomers like Link and Villager, but I imagine it's far easier to make some characters and karts so why not throw in a bunch with these courses?

True. More characters would be cool.....but I'm satisfied :p
There are rumors about more DLC in Mario Kart 8 though.....

New poll (Baby Rosalina won the previous one as the best new racer in the game).

As for more DLC, I'll say it seems strange to have two F-Zero tracks and F-Zero karts without an F-Zero character.
Title: Re: Mario Kart 8
Post by: Jamaha on April 25, 2015, 01:05:44 AM
Might be that F-Zero characters don't translate well to the style of Mario Kart.

Plus there's already the Captain Falcon Mii costume.

But there are also the Link and Mario Mii costumes. I don't think having a playful costume would prevent the developers from making a full-fledged character.

I have 3 star on 50, 100, and 150 cc and only a few on mirror mode.

Post by: fingerz on April 27, 2015, 03:21:22 PM
I'm glad they've made 200cc. Getting 3-star rank on every cup was pretty much a breeze. The only way to really lose is to have incredibly bad luck with items. XD

So yeah, I just finished the new cups on Mirror and now doing Time Trials for 'em. I use Time Trials for lots of things, actually; to get a decent time, to gawk at the amazing graphics and go on a tour around the whole course and to drive as much of it as possible backwards. :P

...So yeah, I'm almost up to trying 200cc. As if I didn't already have trouble making DK turn around corners... I REALLY don't want to have to change characters, but Toad is looking pretty good if things go awfully. XD

I am almost always ahead of everyone by at least half the course. Then I get lightning'd/red shelled/blue shelled or some combination of those.
Title: Re: Mario Kart 8
Post by: fingerz on April 27, 2015, 07:40:41 PM
Yeah, you've gotta keep a close eye on the item screen on the Gamepad at all times. In fact, it's kinda like you're driving a real car and have to (or should) check all your mirrors every few seconds. The more you do it, the more you'll know about who's got what. I literally have the Gamepad up near my face so I can quickly check whilst driving. XD

As for your item troubles, can't do much about Lightning... I always carry an item behind me to thwart Red Shells and I make sure I never get tempted to throw it away for another item just in case I get a coin... Unless there's someone behind who I can hit. :P

As for the Spiny Shells, you've only got two choices; speed up or reverse like there's no tomorrow! Depending on how far ahead I am, I'll immediately decide to do one or the other. If you can see that the person behind you has a Red Shell or something and they're not too far away, it's best to reverse. Then again, it's up to you.

I tend to zoom ahead and gain as much distance between myself and 2nd position so if anything does come my way, I'm still in the lead. ^^

that's usually what I do too.  Some people say though that sticking close to second place and keeping them off item boxes and letting them get hit by stuff is much easier though so yeah

Say you're using a GameCube controller etc.
Couldn't you use the gameplay as a lookout to see what people have and use another controller the control the driver like on smash?
Title: Re: Mario Kart 8
Post by: MaestroUGC on April 28, 2015, 08:04:26 AM
The Gamepad has a few display options: Off-TV, which is classic Mario Kart viewing; and a Map & Standings, which shows everybody's current positions and what item's they're holding; it also toggles motion control steering.

That said I only use the Pro-controller and tend to leave my Gamepad charging. I've never needed to know what everybody else is holding; always assume either lightening, a blue shell, or both (in the case of DD).

If my room was a little bigger and I had more space to put my Gamepad where I could see it, then yes. Until I move, though, it's not easy or plausible.

The game automatically turns your kart to avoid walls, the edge of the track, etc. If your shortcuts are the kind where you're using a boost over non-track terrain, that would explain it.
