Paj! Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Annoying me. I came 4th in Special Cup on 150cc, in an attempt to unlock Daisy. I love how I somehow came 3rd on Rainbow Road though, considering I was 12th most of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zechs Merquise Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 Let me know when, I'm sure all the regulars will play as well. Well if you want to arrange a time for the meet, I'll be there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paj! Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I didn't realise that "To get Daisy, win 150cc Special Cup" meant I had to come first... So annoying. I'm never going to do well on bloddy rainbow road. I even came third this time. *weeps* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jav_NE Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Rainbow Road isn't so bad once you get used to it. It's only the figure-of-8 part in the middle that gets me, i'm not sure of the best way to get through it. Going up the sides seems like it takes longer than just edging through past the holes, but meh. The rest is just a case of powersliding round the corners and hitting as many of the turbos as you can which you'll learn after a few runs.

Yeah, but I'm really bad on manual, so I always use automatic. Maybe I should just practice with manual. The figure of 8 one is ok for me, it's usually the first big jumo, on which I do a stunt, but I somehow, in doing so, end up hutling towards earth... I might just work on manual and do it then.

Then don't do a stunt! you won't exactly loose much time. And yeah the figure of 8 is easy. I just say on the left and at ground level [not going up the sides] the whole way. It gives you a nice approach for the corner after the 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 BTW, If I bought Mario Galaxy tomorrow, and loaded it up, saved blah blah, would Rosalina instantly be unlocked in Mario Kart? (I assume I'll have done 50 races by now..or at least coming up on it. Unless "races" refers to Vs. races or something...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fused King Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 COuld everyone in this topic at least have their Mario Kart Code somewhere displayed so we can add one another and kick off some tournaments... Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksnowman Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 COuld everyone in this topic at least have their Mario Kart Code somewhere displayed so we can add one another and kick off some tournaments... Thank you. In the Wii Online Gaming sub-board there are already a couple of Mario Kart threads for organising online games, as well as other threads where friend codes are already posted. Its best if online challenges and that are chiefly talked about in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I added darksnowman and Molly to my friends roster, and I've got another few to add still. Just unlocked Baby Daisy! Attempts to unlocked Daisy herself resulted in me getting SECOND place in the 150cc Special Cup. Great... Also, how do I get Mirror Mode? And can someone further explain staff ghosts? I beat them, but it annoyingly doesn't tell me which ones I have and haven't done in the past. Will it just say "Expert Staff Gosts unlocked" after I beat EVERY staff ghost on all races?

Retro_Link Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 And can someone further explain staff ghosts? I beat them, but it annoyingly doesn't tell me which ones I have and haven't done in the past. Will it just say "Expert Staff Gosts unlocked" after I beat EVERY staff ghost on all races?Ok, so you go into TT mode, and for each course there will be 2 ghosts, a staff ghost [with evil looking staff Mii's!], and a ghost for the fastest time you've done it in. Just race the staff ghost and if you beat it by enough time, it will say at the bottom of the screen 'expert staff ghost unlocked', this is the 2nd staff ghost for that course. So now there will be a third ghost to race on that course, the expert staff ghost, and his/her time will be very fast and they will usually be using a kart/bike that you have to unlock at some point. Does that help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emasher Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I'm going to have to get back into this game after exams. I never really got that far. I think I only finished one cup in 150cc before I started playing something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I'm too bad to ever be able to unlock any expert staff ghosts, let alone beat them once they're unlocked. *weeps* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I'm too bad to ever be able to unlock any expert staff ghosts, let alone beat them once they're unlocked. *weeps* There are quite a few easy ones in there.

I've beaten a few already, but not by enough, but earlier tonight I was just all over the place! I won none. I think it's cause I'm stil not confident on manual, so I just use Automatic (a disadvantage, as the ghosts are all manual, IIRC?).. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedShell Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 How are people liking the current competition? I'm enjoying it, but finding it pretty difficult to get a decent time. It's just the way that the coins are positioned on the dirt patches, with the ones either side of the main row that makes it annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
