Topic: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

@MarioLover92 glad your enjoying them they are good looking tracks but they also feel like great open levels for 3d Mario. Like new Donk city but bigger.

@1UP_MARIO Yeah totally, especially for a world that's Paris-inspired! That'd be super fun to run around in, and I've always loved Paris anyway. Just thinking about it makes me want a sequel/DLC for Odyssey more and more. I already got all the moons a few years ago...I'm ready for more!

@MarioLover92 been ready for a long while. I lm sure all 3d platforming fans are. If you don’t count bowsers fury then it’s been the longest wait. I 100% the game in its first week. I think I even took the week off from work lol

No you cannot. I don't know what gave you that idea. <shifty eyes>😁 Lol. I was wrong. I totally thought you could. But it does look like you can trick before you get to the top of the escalator. Sometimes I think I've jumped before the top, and it makes my jump stay lower, and you get back to the ground faster to start your drift. But it's not a big deal, and I don't know if I can do it consistently.

I still struggle to trick the first set up stairs on Coconut Mall. I have to focus so hard to time it right. I keep missing a trick there often, especially lap 2. I screamed "dammit" after I missed tricking those stairs like 20+ times today. I really wanted to throw my pro controller. So many restarts. lol

@WoomyNNYes From the looks of things, I guess you could say you got..... Coconut Mall'd. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

CUE THE MUSIC! (now in high definition!)

@Fizza Indeed.

Anyone else struggling to trick the first set of stairs in Coconut Mall, or is it just me? (no wrong answer)

@WoomyNNYes, are you talking about the stairs at the entrance? I didn't even know you could trick off them, lol.

@WoomyNNYes I generally am able to trick off of them. It can be a bit inconsistent, though. However, I can, unfortunately, say that for a few other jumps in the DLC.

@WoomyNNYes They act really weird. It's kind of like you have to input the trick in the middle of the stairs instead of the top or else it won't work. I'm guessing it's just odd collision due to them being, you know, stairs.

@Blooper987 That's the strategy I arrived at. I hit the trick button at the middle of that little set of stairs before the escalator at the start of the race.

@RR529 Yeah, at the start of the coconut mall race, there's a mini set of stairs at the mall entrance, just before the escalator. You can trick off it.

For once everybody's agreeing:

@ophone Weird. It's almost mario-kart-switch owners are STARVED for new content? Amazing you got three screenshots of that. Love it.

Even after the new wave of tracks released online, it looks like nintendo still begrudgingly slow-walks giving the new tracks to us. Watch how long it takes to assign the Random track, which happens to be a new dlc track.😂 -comical. It almost looks like the game might prefer to crash rather than give a new track.

I actually had one lobby track selection page that offered two new tracks at the same time. I have no idea how probable, or un-probable, the chance of that is. I thought I got a screenshot, but I guess I didn't.

I too have issues with the Coconut Mall entrance stairs. It's weird, because I think at slower speeds I didn't have a problem, because when it came to me doing the time trial it was as if I suddenly couldn't do it anymore or something, because I had been doing it earlier.

Here's a clip of me failing to trick that pesky mini stair set at Coconut Mall entrance. See the hop at the mini stairs with no trick.

This also happens to show the turn wall after escalator 2 that @TommyTendo mentioned having an issue with. In case he wanted to see someone doing it. I land drifitng, and may use brakes in that drift to keep from swinging too wide at that turn. Although, I don't recall if TommyTendo was trying to keep off the wall in 200cc or 150cc. TommyTendo may have sorted it already, but I had a clip. For 200cc, I don't trick jump off escalator 2.

@WoomyNNYes I once had all 3 tracks in the selection be from the DLC and someone picking random got selected which revealed a 4th DLC track.

@Grumblevolcano Oh, wow. Amazing. All tracks + the Random were new DLC tracks. That's wild. Good news to know that's possible.

@WoomyNNYes
I don't know in which lobby your example has taken place. I encounter such lags more often in the global lobby than in the regional.

@ophone On rare occasion, I've seen that online-lobby-lag before too. Yeah, I just thought it was funny how it looked when the suspenseful-looking lag happened before finally revealing the track from the new dlc.

For some reason, since I downloaded the Booster Course Pass update to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on 17th March a day before the official release, I haven’t been able to get my game working since then. Shortly after the update finished installing, I opened the game and I got a Corrupted Data Found error (code 2002-4517). And since then, every time I try and reinstall the game, it has given me a ‘An error has occurred’ (code 2005-0003) message.

Someone on Twitter suggested deleting the software and reinstalling it, so I did that, but that didn’t solve the problem as every time the software finishes re-installing, I get the corrupted data error again. I don’t know what to do to fix it, so if somebody could help me out here, that would be greatly appreciated.

The next Mario Kart Tour track is one that has been in Mario Kart 8 for nearly 8 years, N64 Yoshi Valley:
