Topic: Mario Kart 8 - OT

I bought Mario Kart 8 for $58 AUD (about $20 under RRP), then used the free download to get The Wonderful 101 (which would cost me more than Mario Kart did brand new), and then used the Nintendo Network Premium points from that to download Picross e3.
Such a good deal from a game I would have bought anyway at full price and no free games.

How can I change the default Wii remote controls from motion to d-pad? Is it even possible?

Press start(+) I think, then you can see the 2 icons in the upper right? You can switch between the two by pressing left and right.

Ah you mean from the beginning... Sorry bout that. I don't know:P

You know I will my sexy koopa friend~
We have a lot of catching up to do.

It is not possible, you must control using a method that uses analog controls (Gamepad, Pro Controller, Wiimote+Nunchuk, Classic Controller) or a method that emulates analog controls (Gamepad motion control, Wii Wheel).

You can't use a D-Pad.

What's everyone's favourite character/vehicle combo so far?

I've found myself using Peach with the Gold Kart, Slick tires and Peach Parasol lately, it feels pretty nice.
I'm giving up quite a bit of speed by going a Medium character, but so far it doesn't seem to be causing too many issues online... guess I'll have to see what happens when it gets more competitive.

I'd like to try getting better with Rosalina on the Sports Bike as an alternative, but the Sports Bike will take a lot more getting used to before I can really use it properly.

So unfortunately, I'm having a bit of trouble with the settings. After testing out some stuff, I've decided that I'm gonna take out shuffling for now. The reason for it is because it takes way too long for other players join up again after a shuffle, and there's not enough players to go against when it happens.

I'm going to edit the rules a bit since it seems like the leader boards are reset every day. I don't have enough time to check every day for the top scores (my stupid schedule and planning skills ).

I also edited the times for when it starts.
Like I said before, if this doesn't kick off, then I'll stop making tournaments, and I'll post other tournaments that are going on right now from other places instead.
