N-Europe Get Together! 20/06/2024)

[Glen-i]

Honestly, coming 3rd in that race was a bloody miracle!

Cheers for biting that bullet for me, @Josh64!

[darksnowman]

You were all on top of your game last night. Well played.

[BowserBasher]

There was some very close games last night, Lots of fun.

 

[Josh64]

Very fun games! Baby Park is definitely cursed for me though 😂 I always do SO terribly on that stage lol. 

I was so excited I got joint first in that one cup!

And I much prefer my Mii voice this week, thanks Glen-i!

Well that was a mess of a night for me. Got bounced around a lot to pretty much lose every race in the second half there.

And your choice of track didn't show up once!

And nothing of value was lost.

So proud of myself!

Yeah, not quite "Suddenly, Bananas!" because it didn't hit me, so this is the term for that now!

Yeah, same for me but for the 2nd and 3rd set of races.

N-Europe Get Together! 27/06/2024)

[Glen-i]

Mario Kartma at it's finest!

[BowserBasher]

OK a few from me.

I need to see if there is a better way now to get them from the Switch to Apple devices. Doing one at a time (whilst really simple) is just time consuming.

[Ike]

All right, who had 5 Red Shells at the end of Kalimari Desert?

(it was 6 but I didn't see 1)

The timing on this Boo as well.

 

Who could that have been?

Ive had that happen to me way too many times. Its both annoying but so funny.

Hoping the forum stays online long enough to see the Wimby 2024 theme.

What am I supposed to do with that!? 12 games on Wuhu Town?

Nah, we're going with this instead.

Summer Games Done Quick is currently ongoing, so let's speedrun the N-Europe Get Together tonight!
These are the 12 shortest tracks in the game (thanks to @BowserBasher for getting that info), and we're playing them with the Mushrooms Only setup.

See you at 8pm! (Lobby opens at 7:45)

You cannot be serious.

Make us Miis of players. Do a draw for who's gets to be who. White outfits only. Players arrive at Sunshine Airport. The London track. Grass tracks. Sweet Sweet Canyon for strawberries and cream? Who's in the royal box on Royal Raceway? Tick Tock Shot Clock. Recovery ice bath in Squeaky Clean Sprint then collect @BowserBasher from creche at Baby Park. Lightning bolts for that SW19 weather. Fire Flowers as a tennis ball barrage. Banana skins discarded at the change of ends. 

Plenty of potential for a seasoned theme maker like yourself. Could even go above and beyond and check if there's sporty vehicles!

Will speedrun track selection as best I can.

When everyone has mushrooms, no one has mushrooms. 
 

If I hadn’t put all that effort into getting the times, I would have said expand @darksnowman’s theme and go with that. That’s a dang fine story you did. Maybe next year. 

[martinist]

Think i'll hop on tonight. Been a while since i've joined...

200cc mushrooms only on Baby Park though...

You'd be surprised. With how the item boxes work there, a lot of improvisation is needed to keep up.

[Glen-i]

Having enough time for 5 GPs is certainly a new one!

Thanks for the games.

N-Europe Get Together! 04/07/2024)

[darksnowman]

Not a lot of frame-perfect, pixel-perfect gameplay on show with those parameters. Like the driver of the Macbeth forever train in Lylat Wars said: "step on the gas... no! Hit the brakes!"

Coins!

[BowserBasher]

It's not often we get 5 GP's in one night. That was fun. Sometimes 200cc and Mushrooms means you just don't do what you'd normally do in races.
