Special Cup is the cup that ends with Rainbow Road. Just checked our time trial times and treated those as we were havin´a regular tournament. You know one of those when Kizzi wins all the time He was number one in all races, I was second twice and third twice. TC was second twice, fourth once and sixth once and so on.
What do you mean with star ratings? The stars next to our names? The EDCBA(no stars in time trial) rating?

So is Kizzi really good or does he use haxx?

The bummer is, I can't see anyone's times who hasn't added me to their friend list. So I'm going to be competing (partially) blind.

On the other hand, my patience for doing the same track over and over and over and over and over and over to try to improve my time is extremely limited. So I'm not going to finish anywhere near first anyway. So it hardly matters.

No haxx here. just lots of wasted time playing...
so Im still unclear on how these tournaments will work.
Could explain it mange again?

Kizzi, just try to get the best time in the bi-weekly Nintendo tournament / competition which you find on the Mario Kart Channel menu. Mange will collect our times (which he can see for everyone on his friend list) and post the results. Sounds like you'll win each week. The rest of us will compete for second place.

@Zaphod: Youre spot on on every point. Cheer up, Kizzi isn´t first everywhere and remember that sometimes the biweekly races isn´t all about racin fast.

I found the NL team friend codes in the weekly thread, here it is:

I have also added SuperSmashBros.Fan1999 (1375-8532-7365) but still don´t see his Mii.

Damn it, I thought so. I did tell you my sad story about deleting my save didn't I? The times you have here are the one time attempts I made while unlocking the BDasher (again). I'm sad now, I have been misrepresented, and the pain of my deleted save is here to bite me all over again.

_{yeah, yeah, excuses machu, whatever}

Im in.

FC: 0087-2646-8925

Ill add all of the above in the next few days.

@Aviator: I´ll squeeze you in into my already full roster. Somebody will get booted. Damn 30 friend limit.

@Machu: I feel so sorry for your loss of savefile. I also feel a bit ashamed now when I realise that I have smudged your status as a great racer. <yawn>Sorry</yawn>

Thanks Mange

Oh noes.. your head cracked open. lol best avatar ever.

@Mange

, so we're going to compete on the "tournaments" and time trials now? Thanks for letting me know with that wii message:), I've been so busy I hadn't turned on my Wii since last monday . I'm still a bit confused about how does it work? but anyway I will join just for the fun of it, I'll enter the next "competition". Also, I can't believe I got third with my poor "just unlocking things" time trials , I don't like playing time trials, and less MKWii TT, so don't expect me to do that good next time.

Post 25 by Zaphod explains it all. No timetrials, just competitions(EU) and tournaments(US). Why does Nintendo feel the need to have different names on same stuff over the world??? The "Time Trial Special Cup Tournament" I posted was just for fun to get you warmed up. Don´t pay too much attention to it.

Finally the first November Compy/Tourny has started. Start your engines...go.

Mushrooms in the desert. Pretty good fun.

I've posted my provisional time, who can beat it, huh?!

beat it!

Add me guys

I found this race really hard. What has happened with the AI, they are maniac!! Pushing me around all the time.. arghh.

@Machu: I think you will get this one.
@Kizzi: You are ace.
@Alexneon: I´ll add you asap

Yeah, by 3 seconds!! I might have to level the playing field if I wanna win this one.
