Someone said that (I think it was Tech) that 8's battle mode was fun. Give me the details.

Was Mariobro4. No, I'm not taking off my backpack...it's important.

I think I seriously raced and beat Reggie today...like for real.

I raced two different Reggies and a Reggienator today. And a Miyamoto from Japan! But i don't think any of them were the real deal.

Not this tech. I've barely played any mode.

I think they made it a way for you to tell if they were real. Back on DS I think they had a special icon and they're names were a different color. No clue if its like that here or not.

Oh right it was @brewsky. You said it was addicting.

@Toad Addicting? Without the arenas, battle mode is nothing but weak air. It sucks really bad.

Heh, I figured with all the reviews I've seen. It's been nearly hated by all with the total omission of arenas. I just wanted to get @brewsky 's experience on it, he said the opposite.

Funny, we may have thought to ourselves at one point in this series lifetime. "Shoot, I wish we can play battle mode in a race track." Glad to see that happen, though I do agree this doesn't have to mean getting rid of the arenas entirely and could be better handled.

...How are people playing battle mode? From what I can tell, people are just "racing" and hitting people when they drive by.

Except you're supposed to treat the course as an arena, people are still using it as a race track. lol

I'm not sure if I'm getting it. Partly because of my understandable fear of being destroyed and humiliated by Bad Kitty, the ultimate Mario Kart player, and partly because Smash Brothers comes out too soon and will completely eclipse all thoughts of Mario Kart for me. But it would be the first Mario Kart I don't get, so we'll see if I retain my resolve.

Edit: Who hacked my account? I would never say these things. I am obviously the best at Mario Kart but have just been holding back (a lot).

On battle mode: Being able to run the timer down is a huge problem in games (it's a big reason behind banning some otherwise fun stages in Smash Brothers tournaments). Games are designed to promote interaction, but what you describe is stalling and non-interaction. I haven't played it myself and want to, but it sounds like the complete opposite of good game design.

@Spoony_Tech I needed ten more coins to reach Platinum, and since I am currently unemployed, I won't be buying any games soon. Thankfully Mario Kart 8 was a gift, so I had no other game to register, otherwise I would have waited. Lol

I really don't understand the hate for this game. Its everything I wanted in Mario kart Wii, finally a good console Mario kart. Yet people are complaining, saying it isn't worth the money, mk7 was better and the track design is bad?! Like how sorry? Have you been playing Mario kart Wii instead? BTW this isn't on this forum

I feel the opposite, at least from the demo I played. Mario Kart Wii is my favorite in the series. I loved the bike mechanics, the track design was amazing (as it is in MK8 as well), and the characters weren't horrible (seriously, the Koopalings are a relic of the past and should stay that way, I'd much rather have Bowser Jr., Birdo, Funky Kong, King Boo, and Diddy Kong.)

I know it's not right to judge from a demo, but considering how badly I got burned buying Double Dash at full price back when it came out (easily the worst EAD game I've ever played), I'm going to wait until MK8 comes on sale.

If you liked Mario Kart Wii, you'll like this one. Other than the underwater and gliding mechanics, it's mostly similar to that game. There is, unfortunately, a lack of Wii retro courses as there are only two when 64 has four and Wii is more recent. I disagree with you about the Koopalings. I want the Koopalings in the game but all the characters you mentioned should have been in the game as well.
