picking up the game this weekend. I haven't really looked into the wii version competitively yet so I'll have to spend a little time on that, although I'll try not to get as addicted to this one as I did mkds haha

wasn't pac-man in mk:arcade?

True pacman was in arcade II. Why show that crap if you don't even know the game?

Ah! So that's where it came from! I was wondering if it was some crazy photoshop. Eh, regardless I just thought it was funny that they were using an image that had no relation to Mario Kart Wii.

And holy crap how did I miss Mario Kart Acade GP!? It even had the coin system from Super Mario Kart. Has anyone here played it?

I played it once before when I was on a cruise. The game was really fun, and had Pac-man, Ms.Pac-man and The red ghost as charactors (not that anyone has cared about them since the 1980's).

I think they also made a second Mario Kart arcade game too...
 
That picture is one that I remember featured in the Guiness Book of World Records: Video Game eddition. It is indeed of the Arcade version... (yay for captions)

Anyone want a race though?
 
My arcade has the first Mario Kart GP. I only tried it once, kept trying to snake and it didn't work too well with the wheel! XD
 
Guys, i just got this thing and for the life of me can't figure out drifting. i'm not exactly sure what i'm doing wrong, but the lack of a hop anymore is throwing me for a loop.
 
Hopping is still there. Pressing R or B will make you hop. Then just hold R/B down and turn to drift.

Although that's with a GCN controller. For the Wii Wheel I believe you have to set it to manual and use B to hop.

You could use B or (1) to hop. I haven't tried any other controllers, but if you're using the Wii wheel you should have it set on Manual, otherwise on Automatic you'll go around power sliding without getting the flames.
 
this game is very fun and the wifi will keep me playing this for a good while, unlike mkdd...

can someone explain the rankings for gp races for me? like is one star the highest? and what are the ratings based on? like i got 1st place 4 times and got a B :s
 
Three stars is the highest you can get. As for getting a good grade, how much you fall off the track seems to be a big factor.
 
baby peach is so cute i want to eat her

anyone else feel the same way

also the rankings are kind of hard. i hope getting hit by items doesn't affect it. :|
 
that's baby peach's charm

the idea that her eyes are that big and she always has a pacifier in her mouth and that her neck shouldn't be able to support her head just add to the nausea inducing adorableness
 
ok shiny crobat I got the game

i was only able to play for 4 hours on monday cause my parents are divorced, and I wont be at my moms house til saturday (and she has the wii).

its a great game. i beat all of 50 cc and one cup in 100 cc which was kinda a waste of time. i got 12 expert staff ghosts, beating most of them in the process which wasn't too hard but i was strapped for time so i couldn't beat all of them, for example if i fell into the lava I wouldnt restart my run. but at least i unlocked funky kong and the spear/torpedo.

this weekend im going to own everything

American names suck xD Don't play the game saturday untill I... shit T_T I can't play 'till sunday evening. OK, wanna bet? You are not allowed to play the game untill I PM you sunday, k?
 
To be honest, as much as I like to say graphics don't make a game, this game looks just as shitty as the GC version. You would think they would put as much graphical effort into Mariokart as they did into Smash Bros, since it's also one of their flagship titles, but wow, guess not. Very disappointing.
 
I just got this game and I have to say...

WOW. It's fun!

I was also looking at some of the requirements for unlocking characters on an IGN guide, and noticed alot of the requirements seem to be harder than they were before. Is it really that hard or am I just blowing things out of proportion?
