Tellyn Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Just got on Mario Kart Wii for a bit and added the codes of everyone who PM'd me, but I think some may have deleted me. If you PM'd me to add my code, make sure you've actually got me added.
Aalborg Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 hmmm... anybody's Wii making wrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr noises when they have their copy of mario kart in? Can't remember any other game making that noice.. but it is ofcourse a racing game
or else you will DIE Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Okay, my impressions: Gud: Online is great Some of the new tracks are pretty cool Love the stunts Love using the wheel Ghost Valley 2 Bad: Too many babies No Kamek The Item Blocks take a fucking decade to re-appear The Pow block is the worst/most annoying item from any video game ever They picked the worst tracks from the N64 version, except one. The AI is a real pain in the ass most of the time. RED SHELL BLUE SHELL LIGHTNING BOLT RED SHELL POW BLOCK RED SHELL...then you slip on a banana peel The characters are always in a group and you can never get too far in front - one mistake and you're 12th. Rainbow Road....sucks I give it a 7.
MrRon Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 I find recovering from a POW block quite satisfying when other players don't and you overtake them for the win! File under "Gud."
Japjer Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Bad: Blue shells in..friggin battle mode! (oh and pow blocks too...)
Guest Jordan Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Did Mario Kart 64 have a restart race option? I can remember SMK and MK: SC having one. But since DD it seems they've taken it out. Nothing is more frustrating than losing on the last corner of the last race and having to do the entire cup again just to get a stupid star rank

Chris the great Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 i have to connfess, i hate the snes tracks. hate them. ghost vally 2 is mildly preferable but oh my go i hate them. getting a gold mushroom sucks, its near impossible to use it with out a total loss of controle. i can tollerate dk snowboard pass, the only outher track i dont like, due to the half pipe which id say was more of an honest mistake the a balls up in design. i do hate the cheap AI spamming weapons, but i should expect that in mario kart. obviouly i hate the pow, goes without saying that teasing you with the near un avoidable item is crule, that said, when i dodged one with a hop i felt mighty and awsome, specialy as it was online. im very happy with the game, it was a good buy, and its faults are all minor compaired to its good points.
Sheikah Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 I really like the SNES tracks, as they test your pure drifting skill the most. What I don't like is levels like Luigi circuit, where any noob with a good string of items can win.
Hero-of-Time Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Did Mario Kart 64 have a restart race option? I can remember SMK and MK: SC having one. But since DD it seems they've taken it out. Nothing is more frustrating than losing on the last corner of the last race and having to do the entire cup again just to get a stupid star rank Totally agree and yeah you had like 2-3 continues in the N64 version, cant remember if you did on the SNES.
Guest Jordan Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 You had 4 tries in SMK, but that was because if you didn't get higher than fourth you failed the race.
Hero-of-Time Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 You had 4 tries in SMK, but that was because if you didn't get higher than fourth you failed the race. Yeah thats right, ah good times.
david.dakota Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 still no competitions? I'm eager to give them a go. Have the japanese had any competitions yet?
Deathjam Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 still no competitions? I'm eager to give them a go. Have the japanese had any competitions yet? The competitions could be regional, or they could be global, meaning that it would be fairer to let the americans join in before they start rolling them out. Although in both cases it may be fairer to do this, i dunno.
Gio001 Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 OK OK, this cheating AI on 150cc aint funny anymore, just 2 gold cups to get. Wish it would let you know in the first race that no matter how well you drive or how you battle against the cheating AI in the first races you are gonna get screwed over on the last lap of the last race anyway. Otherwise, i love this game, as long as it is against human opponents lol.
Mike Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Ahh, just got my last gold on mirror mode this morning. Now I'm going to have a go at time trials before going back to get stars in the Grand Prix.
nekunando Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Ahh, just got my last gold on mirror mode this morning. Now I'm going to have a go at time trials before going back to get stars in the Grand Prix. This is exactly where I am at (except I did the Time Trials last night) ..though getting the stars in 150cc and especially Mirror Mode seems almost an impossibility for me at the minute I feel I will do 50cc and 100cc fine but the final unlockable character is going to be insanely hard to get due to the amount of luck involved.. I struggled to get gold in the Mirror Leaf Cup, taking me 4 attempts..
DazzeL Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 I find recovering from a POW block quite satisfying when other players don't and you overtake them for the win! File under "Gud." This is something I've been trying to work out how to do! How exactly do you recover from them?
Rowan Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 If you're using the wheel (or remote), just before the third hit of the POW block shake the Wii Wheel, what this will do it you will still spin out but in the air so that you do not come to a complete standstill. Hope this helps. I am not sure whether it is possible to fully escape a POW block (unless you are already high in the air such as from a ramp)
Tales Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 It's hard to do it when you are turning. I either take the hit or I drive off course.
Aalborg Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 if i ever meet anybody who had anything to do with this game i will flip a coin 3 times. If one of the results is heads i will spray ink in their faces. I will then forcible insert a green turtle shell in their behind. i will then in a high pitched scream yell "BYE BYE". I will then insert a red shell into their behind. i will then spinn them around 3 times an yell "BYE BYE".. then i will insert the last blue shell (i will make room). I will the flip a coin 3 times.. etc.
Helmsly Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 If your using the gamecube, you press 'up' on the d-pad to survive a POW block.
Gizmo Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 I just spent an hour trying to get a good time trial record to send to my friend. He beat it within ten minutes. That just sums up my experience with this game.
Emerald Emblem Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 150cc is really difficult with the Wii wheel, Special cup with the Wiimote + Nunchuck, failed 5 times with the wheel (This was winning all races for like 3 of them) but using this system I managed to win all races and have a 30 second lead over the AI on Rainbow road.
