How chronically underwhelming is the newest addition to the Rainbow Road family? Jeepers. Ugly to look at (the track itself, I mean) and boring to drive!
Infact I think as a whole, special cup is disappointing. Cloudtop is wonderful in every sense; the other 3 are extremely disappointing imo.

I think Bone Dry Dunes is the worst in the Special Cup. I really like the others including Rainbow Road. In fact, I think Bone Dry Dunes is the worst and most boring new track in the game. It is better than Dry Dry Desert though...

What's with all the Bone Dry Dunes hate? Sure, it's not the best track in the game but I still think it's pretty good, especially for a desert track, and I've never really liked any desert tracks.
So @Dark-Luigi and I were doing one last race and it turned out pretty good for the both of us.
During the race, a got hit by 2 Blue Shells, but I stayed in 1st throughout the whole thing.
I managed to help him out on the last lap by hitting Mario with a Green Shell. Got Top 2!

I despise Bone Dry Dunes, almost as much as Dry Dry Desert. Its slipperiness is ridiculous with certain vehicles. They're somewhat bland in visual design.
Overall, I enjoy Rainbow Road more than Bone Dry Dunes. Sorry, it's just like that to me.

Finally got to play MK8 at home today after setting up my bundle. I've only played 50 CC so far (did about half the cups) and 3 online matches which I lost. Horribly. I've unlocked Toadette, Morton, and Iggy. Such an addicting game!

I had fun with battle mode online last night. I mean the concept is interesting with the whole aspect of trying to find the other racers more so than everyone all being in one close space. I think it worked well on Donut Plains 3, Toad Harbor, Sherbet Land and Yoshi Valley. When the other ones were selected it was pretty much ridiculous, especially Toad's Turnpike.
While I appreciate Nintendo trying to go for a different approach with battle mode (though I think we all know time constraints had something to do with it) there should still be the option for those of us who would rather battle in arenas. I'm hoping that we'll see some creative new arenas with anti-gravity featured as DLC at some point. I'd love to see some battle modes other than balloon battle see a return as well. Am I the only one who enjoyed Shine Runners?
Really enjoying this game so far. I love Electrodome and Mount Wario.
Does anyone else think it's a little too easy to unlock characters? I remember how long it took me to get everyone in Mario Kart Wii, and there was an actual challenge to it. Of course, it's not like I'm too excited to unlock another Koopaling or baby character (what is it with the character rosters lately? Mario Kart 7 had a pretty lame one as well) Nothing that DLC can't fix.
I also think releasing a Mission Mode similar to Mario Kart DS would be solid DLC for this game that would add more to the single-player content. I'm sure Nintendo wants to prolong the appeal of this game as long as possible throughout the rest of the year.

I really like the whole Special Cup. Honestly, Rainbow Road is the only disappointing track in the game to me. Every other track is unique or offers enough original to stand out, but Rainbow Road is so boring. They don't really do anything interesting with the course at all.

I think Wii's Dry Dry Ruins was the best desert track. Did Mario Kart 7 have a desert track?

I think that is for saving favourite videos, although I may be wrong, haven't really used MKTV.
No, you're exactly right. It saves a race as a favorite so you can go back and edit it later or just show friends when they come over. You don't have to do this to edit a clip in MKTV, but after a while, recent races will be cut in favor of newer ones, so this ensures you'll still have the clip for later.

Disagreed entirely. While the Leaf and Star cups are still my favorites, the Special cup was never a slouch for me, and honestly, the new Rainbow Road has really grown on me. It may not be the greatest RR ever, heck it coups easily be the worst, not counting SMK's RR, but it's still a very pretty track and easily the most over-hated one in the game, if not the while series.
Beyond that, I absolutely adore the new Bowser Castle. It's easily in the top 3 new tracks for me. Even Bone Dry Dunes can be pretty fun.
For the record, Banana and Flower Cups are easily my least favorite.
