Topic: Mario Kart 8 - OT

Holy crap this DLC IS GREAT !!!

love everything, the only thing i dont like is the new Yoshi Circuit... it feels weird

FZero and Excite Bike tracks are godlike, best tracks in Mario Kart EVER

Do we have tournaments ? Maybe a non-DLC Frantic/Normal and a DLC Frantic/Normal ?

They really nailed the fzero track. It feels a lot faster than other courses. Now I just need a C.Falcon Amiibo. And I'll be driving round Mute City with style ^^

Top 3 for me are easily:
Mute City
Wii Wario's Gold Mine
GCN Yoshi Circuit

The one I dislike the most is SNES Rainbow Road.

Best tracks are Mute City and SNES Rainbow Road. By quite a margin even over all the other tracks in the game or indeed over any track in any Mario Kart I've played.

Yeah, Mute City all the way. Don't think I'll tire of it.
I like the Excitebike track more than I thought I would.
SNES Rainbow Road surprised me, pleasantly.

Mute City is fantastic, though I've only played the Egg cup so far. My wife and I at 5:30 this morning before work. Good, coffee fueled times! http://youtu.be/it3nQ64eItc

Has anyone played Ice Ice Outpost a lot? I only did one quick play through, but I noticed that I could switch to the adjacent lane, when the other lane was below my own track.

For those who have played this track more than me: how do the read and blue shells behave? Do they hunt you across lanes, or is it possible to dodge shells by switching lanes?

I had a red shell follow me across but it was already pretty close to me. I would imagine going up helps to shake the red shells more so then going down.

Sometimes red shell misses, sometimes it appears out of blue... As always.

If they will make more patches, I want them to make proper online selection of tracks - not 3 + 1 random, I would like a whole list and choose whatever track I want. Yeah, it still could be the one that is not selected, but at least I have an option to vote for whatever I want with a chance of enjoying this track. Because as far as I played... there are not that many people wanting to play DLC, and the game random selection of 3 tracks doesn't like them also

Same here.

These new tracks are wonderful! However, I would have to say that Rainbow Road (SNES) is now my least favorite track in the whole game. I'm also not really a fan of Link. He looks well... kind of creepy. They should have went with Toon Link

My situation has been the opposite, no-one was wanting to play the old tracks apart from me.

I agree with you, just give us a list of all the tracks, and black out the ones played, for 16 turns so people don't pick the same track.

Is it just me or do Super Horns get more frequent with this update? I got two in one game.

I've got a super horn in Just about every race.

Excite Bike Arena took the prize away from Bone Dry Dunes for being the worst track in the game. The only thing you do in that track is drive straight and get hit by items, and when you're hit, you can't do tricks after a while.

Blue shells are more frequent now too. I literally got hit by one in all 8 tracks.

I really don't like Hyrule or Ice Ice, but the rest are fantastic. Mute City is the best track in terms of gameplay, IMO. It feels fast, and it's a lot of fun. Yoshi's Island was great too. They did a good job with it. SNES Rainbow Road feels too short. I like it, but somehow I wish it was a little longer? I didn't have this feeling with MK7's version, although I like this one better overall.

Excite Bike, though, is my favorite track. The simplicity and fun of it can't be matched. It's hectic and frustrating, but somehow satisfying. It's MK8's answer to Baby Park from DD.

The game was pretty fun!

This Dlc is really top-notch really happy with it, aside from ice ice outpost being alright but not great the tracks are great. Mute City, Dragon Driftway and warios gold mine are by far my favourite. So excited for the next 8 pity its going to be so long
