Topic: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

@jedgamesguy I'm Eastern time zone, so I should be good to go by then. Maybe a few minutes late if things don't go as planned. I'm assuming it's Saturday.

@Sunsy Yes it'll be Saturday, we'll play on that day at 7 PM EST if that's cool with everyone.

@MarioVillager92 Cool, just put the Mario Kart 8 cart in my Switch, ready for tonight. Usually I play a PC game and drink chocolate milk on Saturdays, so going to be doing that with Mario Kart tonight.

@Sunsy OK awesome. See you then! I feel like being Daisy for a change when I play, as well.

@Sunsy Looks like we'll be playing soon, I'll be ready in a few minutes from now.

@Sunsy and @Tyranexx, great races. It's been a lot of fun. I even went ahead and switched my profile pic to Daisy!

@MarioVillager92 Thanks! Back at ya! I had a lot of fun too. And we had a colorful Mii lobby at one point lol. My favorite was Lord Voldekart. XD

@Tyranexx We definitely did, lol. That's a good one, I liked the mii that had an upside-down face!

@MarioVillager92 @Tyranexx It was fun playing with the both of you, it ended up being a highlight of a rather slow weekend. I also think I took one of Tyranexx's mushrooms.

@Sunsy Mushrooms one of the things I don't mind people stealing...if they're alongside me and not employing a Boo that is. I had fun racing with you two!

@Sunsy Glad you had fun. If you won't be too busy, looks like we'll be playing again tomorrow (Monday) at about 2-3 PM. Possibly 3 PM EST.

Edit: Looks like we might have to cancel. I may be busy with some stuff today too. My apologies, hope you're having a good day.

@MarioVillager92 It's alright, I had other things to do on Monday anyway.

me and a family member have been trying to beat the time trials recently, so we can unlock the gold tires, and have done everything else. sooo (this is slightly embarrassing) we havent gotten past the first one even put we are getting better and better 😹 nintendo employees are difficult to beat! and it will be worth it for the gold tires!

Bruh, most of my races in the MAR10 tournament I’ve been falling below the top 6. I had some attempts to get to the top 3 but either they are stopped or just backfire on me.

I've played in the Mario Day tournament last weekend and played a few races on Mario Day itself, and I've been doing pretty good actually. I haven't done any of the super advanced techniques or anything, I can sort of do soft drifting, but only on like one or two specific kinds of turns. I've used Mario, City Tripper, Roller, and Cloud Glider.

OK, I just found this out... we've gotten 75% of our one million laps goal. Here's the update article from Nintendo themselves.

@Hapless Huh that's odd... it works for me. I even tried opening it on a private window, a different browser, and on my phone. Sorry it didn't work for you though. It's from Nintendo's US site if that means anything. Basically what it says is that we're 75% done, and it may help to know that the tournament will end at March 17th at 11:59 PM PT. I'll go ahead and quote some of what has been said...

With just 6 days left in the challenge, we’re thrilled to announce that players have already raced 75% of our goal! Thank you to everyone who has participated!

There's still time to join the My Nintendo Mario Kart™ 8 Deluxe Community Challenge for an opportunity to receive 310 My Nintendo Platinum Points*. Between 3/7 and 3/17, players across the globe will join forces to try and finish one million combined laps in the challenge!

...

Even if you just participate for a moment or one lap, you will be eligible to receive the Platinum Points if players worldwide combine to meet the 1 million lap goal.

Hope this helped, and once again, my apologies.

@Hapless Anytime. I'm glad I could help! I got some more Mario Kart rounds in tonight so we're closer to the goal. Just for easy access, the tournament code is 1152-2501-4827.

Friendly reminder to everybody, today is the last day we can play in the Mario Day tournament. Once again, it will end today at 11:59 PM PT, so there's still time.

@Hapless You're very welcome, glad you got some rounds in.

@Hapless Awesome, yep we've indeed reached the goal! Congrats to you as well! This quote is from the My Nintendo site...

We have fantastic news! We’ve officially reached our goal of one million laps completed! A huge thank you to everyone who participated—you made this achievement possible!

Your My Nintendo Platinum Points will be ready for you to pick up on the My Nintendo mission page on or about March 25.

Make sure to pick up your points before 4/30 23:59:00 PT.

Thank you for being such a fantastic part of our MAR10 Day celebration!
