Is anyone here saddened by what happened to Rainbow Road?

I for one really love the scenery and detail they put into the track. It's really beautiful. You see the Earth below you, everything's really bright and colorful etc.
But er.... The music was sorta lacking. >_> F-Zero X, MK:DD, and MK64 Rainbow Road music is where it's at in that order. (I really suggest listening to the F-Zero one, holy ****!)

PS, I love Funky Kong (XD wtf?) and Yoshi in this game.

Have you heard the F-Zerofied version of the MK64 Rainbow Road theme that is in the F-Zero X Expansion kit? It's the best of the lot if you ask me. Here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXqJEEAA-sw

Who doesn't love Funky Kong :laugh:
"Not I" said Viper. But anyways, I sent my Wii to Nintendo and won't get it back until next Friday. It's kind of sad..... by the time I get Mario Kart Wii, I can't play it. D:

But at least I got the other Mario Karts to pass on the time. "Play's it" ......IT'S NOT THE SAME!!!! DX

I pre-ordered this. I'm kind of upset that the United States gets it last, but I guess we deserve it since other regions of the world got Brawl far later than us/still haven't gotten Brawl yet. In any case, I think this will be an epic game.

Post count doesn't affect how well you play a game you really shouldn't be judged.

I can't wait, tomorrow is the big day, I can't wait to race ALL of you on online play!

Just a quick question on some gameplay fundamentals, which weight class seems to be the dominant one this time around?

I have a question for the people who have this game.

How hard is it to unlock stuff? I read that there are a couple of pretty wicked unlock methods... For example...

OBTAIN AT LEAST ONE STAR RANK FOR ALL 150CC NEW CUPS. What. The. Flying. Mayonnaise.

It´s not that hard ,it just takes too long.
But i think you can unlock everything by playing on wifi I got Toadette for 1000 Victories(but I can´t tell you what exactly is meant by "voctory" because I haven´t done 1000 races yet)

Definitely harder then MK: DD. Don't know about MK: DS.

It's not that it's hard, it just requires alot more work.

Most work is to get
Mii Outfit B
and it´s somewhat pointless ,I can´t see a non-visual difference between that one and the first one .

Well, thanks N9NE and Banana Boy.

So what's this I hear about "rubber band AI" on 150cc? Certain game reviewers complain about it.

I don´t really know, what you mean by "rubber band" (I`m German) ,probably the loads of blue and red shells and pow-blocks beeing aimed at you ,but to me it does´t seem much worse than in 100cc ,you just got to have a big distance between you and the others and parry the red shells .

And if you just meant their behaviour ,it didn´t seem to have changed that much they still won´t try to evade/parry items ,or keep some to evade your´s .

Hmm. Well, I guess it could be that...

But... EVADING Red Shells? Since when is THAT possible? O_o

I mean you keep an item behind you to parry/repel/stave off/ward off the red shells (didn´t know the right word ,had to look it up in a dictionary ,sorry)

Mario Kart is awesome! I'll give you guys my friend code once I train a little more and unlock everything.

Banana Boy, rubber band heißt Gummiband. Keine Ahnung was das mit KI zu tun hat, aber das ist die wörtliche Übersetzung.

Die Übersetzung war mir klar ,wusste nur nich was dass bedeuten soll ,dachte das wär irgend ein Sprichwort oder so *räusper*

Didn´t you unlock most stuff yet or did you get the game just a few days ago ?My friend list could really need some more entries....(Ich schreib ma lieber in Englisch weiter^^)

I keep getting the "You were disconnected from the other players" message on Wi-Fi.

Is this a problem with my Wi-Fi connection?

There were a few times when I was able to powerslide away from a red shell so that it missed me. I can't do it consistently, but it's so awesome when it works lol.

*I haven't done it in Mario Kart Wii, I don't have the game yet.

Nope don't worry happens to me sometimes.

What are you trying to do? Are you trying to join a friend in a worldwide race? If so, sometimes all 12 slots get full before you join.

I started using Koopa and the Concerto.

But bikes are much better. Nearly all the time winners online use bikes.

I just got done playing Mario Kart Wii over my firends place, so far I'm maining Rosalina. I didn't think she would be all that good until I played her and won a lot. Still waiting for Toadette after we get all the stages then go to time trials. -_-;
