Serebii Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Did 100cc, three starred everything except Special Cup because Peach snuck in on the final stretch in one race. Not happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aneres11 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Just got home, booted up and played the first retro cup... what a gorgeous game. I mean, when I looked at some of the screen shots I was almost a little worried that this move to HD would leave the courses bereft of any Nintendo character and charm - how wrong I was. The courses just look sublime. My favourite bit so far? Peach's paraglider bouncing out into action - the detaaaaiilll! You can virtually see the perforation in the material! First thing I unlocked after completing the cup... PINK GOLD PEACH BITCHES. Shiinyyy. Also, started on 150cc before grinding out 50cc it feels so much quicker. I also love the fact you can only hold 1 item despite hating it at first. That will make for a verrry interesting MK League! Bring it on!! : peace: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pestneb Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I retract my earlier rage.... Still feel I'm getting it late now every bugger else has it. mm. I wonder if I will be as fortunate as you - I too received a confirmation email suggesting 3rd June. Hoping tomorrow will have a pleasant surprise in store for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not happy Moments like that was more annoying than getting hit by blue shells repeatedly. Just simply drives by you three meters before the goal.

That's setting yourself up for quite a fall if I do happen to perform better. Careful now... I shall represent the glory that is the Mii! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryanee Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Do you have to do 50cc and 100cc to unlock thing? I just did the mushroom cup on 100cc and it was too easy and quite boring so I'd rather not have do those if I don't have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buggering bugger This is why I always do 50/100 cc first. Get the easy stuff out of the way as quickly as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryanee Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Great game so far but it could stand to be a little faster in 150cc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pestneb Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Great game so far but it could stand to be a little faster in 150cc. Perhaps they could DLC release a 200cc... Is there a reason they limit to 150cc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 This is why I always do 50/100 cc first. Get the easy stuff out of the way as quickly as possible. Same here. It's also good to learn the tracks this way, without the cheating AI giving you hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen-i Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Same here. It's also good to learn the tracks this way, without the cheating AI giving you hassle. I actually use Time Trials to learn track layouts and practice shortcuts that require mushrooms and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero-of-Time Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Time Trials have stamps to unlock :p I know, I'm on doing it now. I meant generally I don't go in depth with games, learning tricks, tracks, maps etc. unless I get a goodie for my effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen-i Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I never go that in depth with it all. If it doesn't have an unlockable then I don't bother with it. Mario Kart Wii had 3 characters that could be unlocked through time trials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryanee Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Some one on gaf says you don't need to do the slower CC's. All the stats from 150cc count for the lower CC's as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's got an unlockable I'll go for it but if it's doing something like time trials just to learn tricks or shortcuts I don't bother. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog-amoto Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Why is the default option after a race to watch the highlights? So annoying when it should be next race. Keep catching it by mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wii Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 (edited) Why is the default option after a race to watch the highlights? So annoying when it should be next race. Keep catching it by mistake. They want you to earn them money? I don't know. Or it could be because if you click onto next race by mistake then your video is lost and by doing it this way it makes it more of a conscious decision to push the control stick to move onto the next race rather than mindlessly pressing buttons.

Yeah, this little thing is quite annoying. I suppose if it was the other around and someone hit next race by accident they would lose the option to watch the highlights.
