Topic: Mario Kart 8 - OT

The Daisy Cruiser was there off the coast of that track on Double Dash as well. So I wouldn't count on it being a hint.

But with the original Rainbow Road having surprisingly been remade for the 2nd game in a row, I guess you can't rule this one out.

It would be cool to have Daisy Cruiser on MK8 though if that ends up being a hint then N64 Koopa Troopa Beach would likely be coming at the same time (You can see the course off in the distance when at the downward glider section of Sunshine Airport) which I really don't want (no more N64 courses, please!).

If they are going to do more remix courses, then I think we should get one that hasn't been remixed already. Just for variety's sake. I can think of very few courses in the history of Mario Kart that I actually HATE, but there are a few. However, playing the same courses on three different versions of Mario Kart is a bit of a waste, IMO.

I don't dislike the Rainbow Road in the DLC, because I think it's a great track, but why not bring something different? That's literally three different games in which that track appears. Why not do some other Rainbow Road, or just a track that hasn't been remixed yet?

Although I do think there should be more new tracks than remixed ones. They don't need to remix all of them.

I want to see more 1 lap tracks like Mount Wario. Maybe a rally course through mud or a hill climb through Chocolate Mountain.

On another note, I've been playing a lot of online Mario Kart and find it to be some of the best online gaming I've done in a while.

I loved the one-lap sprint tracks in MK7. They need to do more, I agree.

I love playing online, but I find that sometimes the item generation is extremely unbalanced. To me, the blue shells appear way too often, and it's stupid that the person in first place gets a coin, second place gets red shells, and third place is getting bananas. That's a broken system, in my opinion.

And don't tell me it doesn't happen! I have video evidence of it.

Blue shell is just something you have to live with. Either get far enough ahead that you can spare a hit or stay close to 2nd so you can take out people around you. The game is fair enough to help you back if you drop back to 4th or lower. The worst case scenario is when you get a blue shell on the last lap. But that's just bad RNG.

Four since it's also in Super Circuit.

QUestion... anyone else notice some strange finish line shenanigans? Today i beat this guy in three races but each time he showed up as the winner in the results. VERY strange. And no, he did not sneak past me at the last moment; there was a considerable distance between us.

Lag, I've noticed there's been a lot of lag and disconnects with the new DLC but I guess it's likely due to the return of a huge influx of people playing.

It's always been there and in some cases like yours it's really bad. If I were you if it happens Even once back out and join another room other wise you will keep getting false finishes and you won't know where the other player really is.

For non Mario DLC, I'd love to see:

Olimar playable
Bulborb kart
Pikmin racetrack

Kirby playable
Dedede playable
Warpstar kart
Dreamland racetrack

Ness playable
Mr. Saturn kart
Onett racetrack

The last being the least likely, but it'd still be really cool to see happen!

For Mario DLC characters, what I want most is:

Nabbit
Wiggler
King Boo

Also, characters from WarioWare or Diddy Kong Racing would be pretty rad but I doubt that'll ever happen...

In addition to the advice above, try to connect to "Regional" rather than "Global" when trying to find players.

I never understood why he wasn't in the game to begin with.

Ness would be freaking awesome! Plus then we'd have to get a Mother track. Anyways, I agee with everything you just said, except I kinda would rather see Egadd or Kamek, or for Petey to come back instead of Wiggler, though that's just my opinion.

I had a dream recently about a Mario Kart 8 Earthbound pack, I kid you not! Ness would be sweet but I would replace Onett with Fourside or Summers in a track.

I guess quite a few of these are reserved for Diddy Kong Racing 2.

Yeah I've noticed when the games laggy that your position disappears close to the finish line as the game calculates who actually won.

DLC2 Give me Birdo.

I really want Samus and I'm happy. Need more outside influences and no more repeats of the same characters please.
