so yesterday I was playing mario kart. I was in the third spot, 3 maybe 4 sec away from the finish line but I hit the guy in front of me and ended second. The guy did NOT go over the finish line before me. Yet I was third and he was second in the results. This is the second time that this has happened. Wth?
Lag on your end or theirs. They probably had already crossed the finish line but hadn't registered on your screen yet. Kart 7 was bad at times for that. I would see someone go over the edge only to pass right by me as if they never fell.
ah ok sucks big time!! thanks for explaining
Once I thought I was in the lead, it said 1st place and everything, but when I crossed the finish line turned out it was actually 2nd place. It just happened that one time though. And the race was pretty glitchy already. I blame it on bad reception!
Does anyone seem to lose connection ALL the time while in the waiting rooms?
Yep, I think everyone in the lobby gets the error, or at least multiple people.
When playing with friends online we all seem to get the connection error at the same time.
Hopefully it's something they can fix because it's pretty annoying (especially when you like the tracks available), but at least it's not during the actual race.
I have had maybe around 10 connection errors and I have not played online that much.
I am hoping it's just overloaded servers since the game is new and that it will settle down. It's not too bad and I can usually get right back on with out an issue.....only one time did it happen a few times in a row.
It sucks because when it happens during a race it hurts your rankings........
I found a good way to increase my online rankings.
My kids are terrible online and were logged on when I had a bunch of connection errors so there ranking has got pretty low.
If I play multiplayer online with them while starting the game under their save profile it pairs me up with lower ranking competition to where I can pretty easily dominate and my ranking grows way faster than when I am competing by myself.
I think if they joined me online on my save profile it would match me against my own competition.
Only downside is coin collecting is getting split between two saves and I still am working toward unlocks.
Just waiting for the inevitable DLC to be announced at E3.
I don't think it is inevitible but I certainly hope they do offer a new DLC cup for a reasonable price in the future at some point.
I just hope it is not soon. I want it more to be like something to renew interest in the game once all the current tracks start feeling stale. Characters or cars are not very interesting but tracks or even proper battle mode arenas would be awesome.

Take my rupees Nintendo.
I'm also willing to bet money that DLC will be announced for this game at E3. It makes too much freaking sense. And guess what? I bet the first batch of DLC will even be FREE.
I own a Wii U and 3DS. I also own a PS4!

I had something very similar happen to me. I was in 6th, and just passed up 5th and 4th place and crossed the finish line in front of them, but it said I ended in 6th.

If you played Mario Kart 7, you would know it was an issue then, too. It's either your end or the server lagging

So when you pick Wario, it sounds like he says "sh*tter!"
I know he's actually saying "cheater" but even my younger siblings thought he said "sh*tter".

Grand Prix is ridiculously unfair sometimes with CPU item spamming.
Somewhat frequent NIntendo Network disconnects
Roster is mostly okay, but isn't that great
Other than that, holy crap this is the best Wii U game to date, at least for me.
Check out my YouTube channel if you love gaming, and Nintendo (especially Metroid) I think you'll enjoy my videos. :)

@brewsky Oh, the new battle mode was poorly received because of the removal of arenas and was poorly executed of new rules. (turning invisible whenever you lose all of your balloons and attacking other players while invisible.)
Was Mariobro4. No, I'm not taking off my backpack...it's important.
Oh, so people actually have to have strategy instead of aimlessly throwing items in a confined arena?
Also, turning invisible when you lose your balloons is only in multiplayer. And you don't get points when you're invisible.

Heh, but I digress. You said it was addicting. describe your experience.
I've always loved Battle Mode in Mario Kart and this is no different.
The opportunities for strategy have dramatically increased from past titles. The reasons are twofold.
1) You can only hold one item, making each attempt count.
2) it is not confined, you have to make your only shot count as well.
In addition, "Hard" computer players are actually hard.
However, I will admit that Team Battle is not as fun, considering that it narrows your enemies from 11 to 6.
