Play & Win: Join the UK Mario Kart 8 Tournament Rematch - Today!

Aw man, working 2-10, have fun all!

I just got my cruiser (penny no-name) board today!! But it's raining, so I might be participating. DANGIT, I just realized as I was typing this that someone is taking us out for dinner tonight good luck all.

I'm in but I don't stand a chance of winning 16 races. I am due a good run of form though.

I will giving this a shot!! Should be a good laugh! ^_^

Hopefully I won't be disconnected this time but still it'll be fun as long as there's not mass leaving all the time.

Yes, looks like fun! Almost time, I best get ready! Good luck everybody! ^_^

Let's a go! Good luck to everybody

Already experienced a cheating foreign dude. I finished my first race in 3rd, suddenly I'm 4th. Checked the leaderboard, an Italian guy somehow got into 3rd place AFTER the race had finished.

Second race, communication error as I crossed the finished line in 1st... it seems luck is NEVER on my side. >

@antdickens He wasn't in the race when it started, that's what confused me.

lag ruins this for me(e.g hit someone with a shell but nothing happens)

Good luck to all. Wont be entering myself as I wont be playing anything untill about 9 and then ill be off to stick a shiv in some throats in the last of us remastered

Currently 2nd with 199, really glad not to have a disconnect though some of my luck was appalling so I don't expect to be top 20 when the tournament ends. I did come across a winner of the first tournament who quit a near full room right at the beginning of this one though so I see more CPU grinding happening...

I'm currently 4th with 213 points, unfortunately that means I'm not in for a prize, but I might still be in the top 10 by 9pm if I'm lucky.

My results: 1st-x12 2nd-once 3rd-once 4th-once and 8th-once Total-216! Currently in 1st place, sweet! To those still racing, keep it cool and have a laugh! Peace! NNID: DARK-Is_Reborn

theres a guy in my game with 12 points called DARK-LS

@DARK-Is I played against you in the first 4 races, you were great!

54 points from 16 races! Sooo bad.

@Grumblevolcano are you Tom by any chance? That was some seriously slick racing on your part! I beat you once (thanks entirely to a blue shell) but the rest of the time you had me well beaten fair and square. I'm Cliffomac by the way.

Finished with 217 points. That puts me third (at the time). Woo!

Will be racing at 7:30 or later. Hope to see y'all and be sure to check out my Miiverse (NNID: Zerodactyl)!

Down to 4th place now! lol Still was fun oh!

Finished with 174 points pretty bad. Top 20 but probs not for long. I just couldn't catch up to the other racers after being battered in the middle of the CPU pack with items. And can someone explain to me how you can play just against CPU? Not that I plan to I'm just baffled at how people do it.

@Grumblevolcano, thank you very kind of you to say so! ^_^

Was on track for around 180 - 190 but then got a bunch of disconnects (which doesn't usually happen to me) at the end which ruined it. Still happy though and really enjoyed my races. Some great racers out there that's for sure! Good luck everyone

Has anybody raced against Alan with the Alien like Mii? If so it was me! Some great racers racing tonight, having to get really competitive.

Good luck to all.

I've just been shuffled into a lobby with no people, don't know if to wait or search?

Shuffle made things quiet.

Just done my 16. Once again the Fire Hopping turds spoil the fun.

Got 202, putting me technically at 19th, drawing with at least two other people, but there wasn't enough room on the leaderboard for me. Had a pretty crummy first 8 races, but ended up getting in the top three for all of them in my second half. Good luck to everyone else, looks like there's a lot less room jumping this time around!

I gave up. I ragequit every single race because I wanted that dang eShop fund. I guess I'm too much of a sore loser when I prize is involved.

I really am appalling at this, but it's been fun 😊 Thanks Nintendo Life, until next time...

Woo, doubled my points from the last tourney! Only a few races where I drop from 1st to 8th on the last bend, and I'm sure all my green shells backfired!

So I made 10th place in the end! '3' Congratulations to Lucy x, Justin and John, have fun with the monies! ^_^

o_0 Second _{Goes to corner and faints}.

I apologise if I'm wrong about this, but I think something weird is going on here. 'Lucy x' apparently won with a perfect score of 240, yet I beat her on Toad Harbour (she came third) therefore making it impossible for her to have a perfect score.

Moreover, when we were racing, she had only completed three races, whereas I had completed around 10 (iirc) and yet, I was only able to complete 15 races in the time remaining, and yet she was apparently able to complete the full 16. It doesn't make sense.

Sorry if I sound like a sore loser (I couldn't have won anyway, even if I had been able to complete my final race, so I'm not that bothered) but I don't trust the results of this tourney at all.

179 points after 12 races, got in late this evening and it kicked me off before I could finish my last 4 races. Great fun as always Nintendolife, thanks.

@Bacon_Gal_Blaze - You have raised a valid point. Perhaps, there are two lucy X's, which is quite a common tag. Was it defo the same Mii? Also, the lag on on-line causes a problem sometimes. I finish 1st and then l'm 3rd all of a sudden. I'm very confident that Nintendolife has it all under control.

@WYLD-WOO I will check the Mii on the leaderboard~ and as for lag, it definitely wasn't. The leaderboard showed at the end of the race with the same positions (me first, CPU second, Lucy x third) and I got 15 points.

Also wow, I'm involved in serious discussion on this website for like, the first time in three years. :3

i won the last tournament, but only had enough time for a few races this time around, well done to everyone who won

@Bacon_Gal_Blaze Maybe Lucyx had already finished her races and was playing the 'for fun' part when your score doesn't count towards the total? Was it near the end of the tournament? Because if it was that's probably what was happening

The Mii is definitely the same. ;__;

@dazza176 I guess that's possible. Can you still race after you've finished your 16 races?

@Bacon_Gal_Blaze yeah you can but it doesn't count towards your total, i did the same when i won last week

@Bacon_Gal_Blaze - I think @dazza176 has provided the most logical answer and if you played towards the end, did you? If so, I'm sure you would also agree with his comment too. As I said before, I'm sure Nintendolife have all forms of cheating under control.

@dazza176 - Well done on your recent victory, I like you didn't have enough time to complete all races this time either.

@emiingham - The video is pointless and can't provide valid proof, if Lucy X did indeed continue to play on for fun.

Yep, I was racing right towards the end. That's probably the answer then. :3

Sorry about that, I just didn't want other people getting cheated out of a prize unfairly. Congrats to teh winners~

@WYLD-WOO I realized, that's why I deleted my comment

@dinosauryoshi Yes I am Tom, it was fun racing with you. As for disconnects I got caught in that situation on Saturday's tournament (on my first race) which frustrated me.

I see the range of top 20 was much bigger this time around (I think I would have been somewhere between 21st and 25th as 20th got 202 points and I got 199) so I guess lobby hopping was somewhat less prominent

@Bacon_Gal_Blaze - Hey, it's always fun chasing the truth. Glad you are happy that there's no foul play here. Well done Lucy X

@emiingham - Haha, oi!!! You can't do that, it spoils the read of this thread...

@WYLD-WOO Haha, sorry

Finished about 3 hours ago and overall, whilst it was still fun racing with others here, on my 9th race (Thwomp Ruins), just after I won the race, I got disconnected from the servers. This prompted me to reconnect, only to realise that the 15 points I should have won wasn't added to my score and it just skipped me to the 10th race.

Nintendo seriously has to sort out the Mario Kart 8 servers from what I've been experiencing, just as bad as the Brawl servers in my eyes for such an unfair result (As well as racers getting hit with green shells, yet they don't come to a halt). Would've been 19th place if it wasn't for that.

But regardless, a congrats to Lucy, Justin3 and John for making it to the Top 3, as well as everyone who made the leaderboards.

BALLS! I thought this was on Saturday, I have played the Dark Souls 2 DLC all night and missed it again! Ah well, hope it all went without a hitch and everyone had some fun
