Topic: Mario Kart 8 - OT

Metroid plz. I doubt it, but that would be fantastic.

Cries like a baby!

I've seen this rumour before, it appeared 5 months ago. I hope it's false as Neo Bowser City is a disappointing track (choose a much better Bowser track like [insert one of the many Bowser Castles that aren't from SNES] instead). If it is true then we will see Wii U HD 3D rain for the 2nd time I guess (1st was a very select few 3D World levels). Even Baby Park has the potential of being extremely disappointing (if it's not 7 laps).

We haven't had an SNES Bowser Castle return, have we? It was always the GBA ones returning. Oh, and the N64 one too; that was remade on MKWii. I wouldn't mind if any of the longer SNES Bowser Castles were to return, or maybe Double Dash's.

Yeah, we got 3 GBA and the N64 one as retro tracks in the past. Of course given SNES Rainbow Road and GCN Yoshi Circuit, any of those could return. I was hoping for either GBA Bowser Castle 4, GCN Bowser's Castle or Wii Bowser's Castle and that if rain returned that it would be in the form of GBA Luigi Circuit rather than 3DS Neo Bowser City.

Mute City on 200cc. (I think it's a Youtube version of the Nintendo's Facebook video.)

Is the standard on online play going to still be 150cc? I don't want it to be 200cc. The races are already short as it is.

Instead of introducing the 200cc, I wish they'd just do something with the battle mode. Nobody plays it and it's obvious Nintendo put little effort into it.

No worries, it's been confirmed fake. Nothing on the internet is real anymore

Definitely hyped about 200cc, and Mute City is a big part of that. I'm glad Baby Park is coming back, too, that was one of my favorite tracks in Double Dash.

You might want to hold back your hype. The rumor was fake.

?

I think F-Zero on 3DS is a stupid idea and phone even more so.

Um... so I try to firehop in Yoshi Valley, but I don't think I'm getting that sense of speed you're supposed to get, i.e. I think I'm just hopping in a zigzag pattern. So...

• Can you try to give an explanation on how you firehop?
• What are the signs that you are gaining the boost from firehopping? I did some digging online, and I found that firehoppers magically seemed to emit some white smoke when firehopping... That seems impossible, is it?
• Can you give some tips on Yoshi Valley Time Trials? Thanks....

Those tracks in the file system were confirmed as fake right? Cause Nintendo of Japan just revealed the new tracks on it's YouTube channel. There isn't baby park, but Neo Bowser city is returning and one of the tracks is called Ring Ring Metro in Japanese.

Edit: never mind, I missed Baby Park. That's confirmed too. Also there is a forest like track called Nature Road.

Well dang, Baby Park and Neo Bowser City confirmed

Here's the full list from the Japanese Mario Kart site:

Tracks (old)

• Baby Park
• Ribbon Road
• Neo Bowser City
• Cheese Land

Tracks (new)

• Nature Road
• Big Blue
• Lingling Metro
• Animal Crossing

I'm glad they're bringing back more GBA tracks. Even more glad one of them is Ribbon Road. Also, I hope there's 7 laps with Baby Park.

Baby Park isn't going to work on MK8. MK8 doesn't have the same high-intensity as DD. We need special items, not coins.

I wonder if Big Blue is another F-Zero track.

I'm posting the video links now:

Oh sorry, I didn't see your comment when I was doing this...

_{It's fine, but direct links slow down the page. Just post the links next time like I did above -Lz}

Ribbon Road and Cheese Land look fantastic now

Also Big Blue is indeed another F-zero track

@TingLz ah right I forgot about that until I saw the page after I posted...
Thanks for deleting it.
Also is the English name for Metro confirmed? I just figured it was ring ring since it is in the bell cup and, well bells go "ring" I guess.
