RedShell Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Loving the new competition, got around 17 seconds on it at the moment. I tried the Grumble Volcano thing earlier, managed to get on the rock (after a few attempts) but couldn't get the laps to register. Still, it's a really cheap shortcut. Hope it doesn't work online.
Coolness Bears Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 OMG The chat on mario kart absolutely blows! EDIT: My stress levels have just risen EDIT2: Didnt realise it would really be just a race between the two of us coolness (where i got owned ). Ah well EDIT3: F**K! My laptop fell on the floor breaking my nintendo usb wifi connector! CRAP its all bent out of shape! Not a good day! EDIT4: I think i managed to fix it! Whew! Woah! That's an eventful few minutes! Good games Deathjam I enjoyed them Though I accidently set my Bike to manual mode which I had never done before! I didn't like it that much I felt as if i had less control and drifting didn't really work. I'm glad your USB seems to still be working! another good game on Delfino Square (continental) But I got bashed to 7th or 8th.... Time for dinner!
Deathjam Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Speechless...First for two laps then straight to 5th in the last lap... Woah! That's an eventful few minutes!

Though i really did get owned Apart from delfino which i love.
Platty Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Got 20 seconds on the new challenge. Can't seem to break out of the 20's which is annoying..

Though i really did get owned Apart from delfino which i love. I love Delfino square! I'm not very good at the one on the Wii! I'm good at the DS version of it though! (maybe because of snaking on the first straight :P)

(maybe because of snaking on the first straight :P) I seem to prefer most of the 'classic/retro' tracks. Don't know why but the wii ones just seem to have too many random things going on and are item abuse prone.
lostmario Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Nice time and I was impressed by your TT efforts earlier too...but I just did a 17.427 and can't see myself beating it too soon! Thanks, any chance of you adding me or are you full up? I just set a 18.269 or something like that.
Supercube Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Thanks, any chance of you adding me or are you full up? I'm not taking on any more people right now, thanks all the same.
MoogleViper Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Me and my girlfriend have just been on and Japjer was on at the same time. It wasn't done through the friend roster thingy it was just a coincidence.
Blue_Ninja0 Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Nintendo smoke!!? Hells yeah I would definitely smoke that.
Mokong Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Just got my competition time down to 21.778 if i can shave off 1.779 seconds i'll be happy...the world records are insane
Coolness Bears Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Only just completed all the cups on 50cc today! I seriously have not played the single player and thought I'd give it a whirl now my exams are done. I liked the end credits where they had replaced the giant luigi statues head with My Mii's head. It was awesome!
MoogleViper Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 I liked the end credits where they had replaced the giant luigi statues head with My Mii's head. It was awesome! It reminded me of Trash it!* *Anybody who has not played this game has never lived.
Dyson Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 It reminded me of Trash it!* *Anybody who has not played this game has never lived. Holy shit holy shit holy shit. Best game ever, seriously. Fuck me I loved that game. Is it available on PC somewhere? Like a freeware version or something?
darksnowman Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Not sure if anyone knows or if its been mentioned but... I played a bit of MK earlier this week to try out the competition, and since I didn't do the previous one (driving through the gates) I was able to do it, and then get the newest competition. I tried it once and it took me 3 mins.

Try letting them come at you rather than chasing them down, move out of the way and then knock them off. You only ever need to get one lot of mushrooms for all 4 Topmen!
tapedeck Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Well pissed off! I was unable to do the recent "galaxy alike" competition coz it just said "competition has ended" WTF?! I have yet to do ANY competitions but it wont let me accept any. So how do I get them? I looked everywhere?! It's a bit stupid. Typical online Nintendo setup really. Fook. Sake.

You may have to look in your wifi acceptance t&c's or perhaps any correspondence from Nintendo about what they can send to you and receive from you. Many people don't like the idea of them collecting marketing data but it may be the only way to get certain online features.

Try updating the data. It's the bottom most option in the channel screen.
Coolness Bears Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 I only played Mario Kart Wii for 12 minutes today. Those 12 minutes were some of the most frustrating in my life so far. I could feel myself getting tense. So I attempted 150cc today and Wow does the computer Cheat! I'm trying to get star ranking or above on this now and I managed it for the first cup but gave up half way through on the 2nd cup as the amount of items that bombarded me got ridiculous. Still love the game though and I'll be back on it tomorrow! Just took a little break from it today. : peace: Also the online got to me on Friday as I went from 6100 to 5800 now I think. I think I've stayed the same and everyone else has gotten much better. The good mews is that I unlocked the Mii and I love the way I go GOGOGOGOGO!!!! First time I heard him to this it had me laughing for awhile and I was unable to concentrate on the race.
Deathjam Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 My mii has access to the heavy vehicles, which I am just not used to using as they cannot turn corners sharp enough. WAAAAAY too used to using the light characters but tis such a shame as i get bumped around the course as if I was a tiny insect. And then the poor top speed can hurt time trials but I find the high acceleration highly useful for grand prix and online play as you get bombarded with so many weapons that you start and stop alot and so hitting top speed becomes less important than just making sure that you are dead still for so long that the opposition catches up.

WOAH! It's the complete opposite for me! I'm to used to the heavy characters and find myself unable to use the likes of Toad as he gets bashed around to much! The Mii is a heavy character I think as mine has access to the heavy stuff as well with him I used the Twinkle Star Bike which I find is very good for me as It's got lovely smooth drifting and I was very suprised at how well it drifted around corners. I also find myself too used to bikes now and going back to a Kart feels strange....

I also find myself too used to bikes now and going back to a Kart feels strange.... Yeah I am waaaay to used to bikes now. Shame really. Also, there seem to be 2 different types of drifting. One, where the bikes REALLY lean into the corners and dont really skid round, and the other which is just like the karts (sideways). For the former, I think you can initiate the drift later, but because of this, it has crapped all over my timing of drifting the standard sideways method. (if that makes sense )

Yes I do not use the bikes that have that too tightier drifting which hugs onto the inner side of the track as often it goes over to far into the grass which isn't very helpful! I much prefer the standard way which is much easier to execute! It is a shame that I'm too used to the bikes, in a way I feel like I'm cheating the game! It is called Mario Kart after all Though I do still use them ocassionally! Perhaps will get a challenge which will be Karts only?
