You weren't, someone else brought that up. Btw, then drive a WR?

Wanna do a wifi race once you get it? xD
 
Can you just shut up and take it to PM if neccessary

This isn't a snaking discussion, this is MKWii discussion
 
I think I brought it up, and I apologize to the both of you, my bad. Now then, which old courses do they still have?

Also how were karts unbalaced in MK64? I never knew they were.

You're telling me your MK64 games as a kid didn't have everyone rushing for Toad/Yoshi/Peach? >_>; MK64 was horrible in that each character was tied to their kart. You couldn't do something like MKDS where anyone could go on any kart making for any character being viable in a race. Lightweights have ruled Mario Kart forever.
 
Well as a kid, I always loved Mario and Luigi, so I chose them, and my sisters chose their favorite characters(Toad and Yoshi). I just never knew there was a hidden stat, as I didn't pay much attention to it. It didn't matter what guy i chose anyways, the CPU would always catch up regardless, as i think it was written for them to catch up somehow.

Lightweights/lightweight karts ruled mk64, mkdd and mkds because of their maneuverability which allowed them to do mts in quick succession. however in the more linear smk and mksc, bowser/dk jr. are the only characters used (with 1 exception). taking out the ability to mt many times consecutively/on straightways with effect in MKW looks like it has created a linear racing console game - heavy characters (notably funky kong) rule.
 
Just found out that the elusive second mii costume (probably the hardest thing to unlock - have to unlock all 32 expert staff datas) is your mii in luigi overalls. Not that great, though I don't know why I expected more:

Had a go at the bike for the first time online today with Wario.
I found it so hard to get used to at first, especially the drifting because it curved so much.

I hate that it doesn't matter who you use. I remember people suggesting combinations for MKDS. :/
 
The only thing that the character influenced in mkds was weight. Since the lower your weight, the faster you went offroad in that game, most people just played dry bones in whatever kart they preferred. Playing a different character didn't make some other stat magically better, making "combinations" relatively pointless, anyway.
 
@Vidd

Lots of drift is a good thing in a game where you need to drift for longer to get a boost, and couldn't you just use a different bike? I personally like twinkle star if you've unlocked it.
 
yeah the roster's pretty decent, baby peach/daisy is kind of dumb though ;/

lol why are boo and rosalina heavyweights

Is the site for competitive Mario Kart time trials. They'll have a MK Wii section soon.

The MKDS WR page is here:

Anyways I pre-ordered this game yesterday. So far this game seems very simplistic. I can't see much competitive depth in this game, unlike MKDS. I'm still really looking forward to playing it though :D

thanks, I've been looking for those links (I had forgotten what the major mk forum was named, it's been a while)
 
I figured she'd be Medium, as she has the same build as Peach and Daisy, and shes from space! Shouldn't she be less weighted or something? My guess is that they needed more heavy weight characters.
 
Well would you have two pretty samey princess-types with the same karts? naw..

Also how can you have too many PCs, unlocking them is great and they're just fun to have more of
 
Damn, Paratroopa isn't in again. I'm sad a panda (at least for a few minutes). D: D: D:

I wish the baby princesses were removed, and replaced by some better characters... <_< Like Paratroopa and the resurrection of DK. Jr!

What is with the ROB hate, Stoo? He was pretty cool in MKDS, and everyone loves him by now in Brawl... ): He would have been cool...

Downloadable characters are probably a no-no but would be sweet, but then again... I'm good with the roster I guess, can't please everyone!

(Now we need a MKDS2).
 
There's just so many more interesting people who could have made it in over him, like shy guy, paratroopa, petey piranha etc.
