It kind of sounds like beatboxing near the end of the video.
I wonder why they didn't do the same thing for Yoshi and Toad. Yoshi had alternate colors in Mario Kart: Super Circuit.
They wanted Mario to have a heavyweight counterpart, he has never had one in Mario Kart.
Yep, the bombs behave the same way, plus the explosion lasts less than half as long as it did in Mario Kart DS or Mario Kart Wii. I think that the nerf was necessary after the item chaining that could happen in the previous game. It's also good that the Lightning and explosions don't take your items away anymore, that was one feature that had been present from Double Dash that I absolutely hated.
I am probably wrong, but I think that a video showed that the lightning bolt only effects grounded players.
The lightning bolt was nerfed since Mario Kart DS anyway, players from 5th-through-8th barely spent any time shrunken down to begin with.
The item balance was about as far off as it could get in Mario Kart Wii and the developers know this. They also buffed the Spiny Shell back to it's original form. Now, it travels along the ground (at the speed of the winged shell no less, making it harder to dodge), is the size of a kart, and only flies into the air when it's within range of the leader. The version that was used from Double Dash to Wii did nothing for the player in last and only existed to unnecessarily torment the leader. Also, while they're nerfing the powerful items, they're actually buffing the weak ones. Bananas now do slightly more damage than green shells, and players that are in the middle of the pack can use the Racoon Leaf and Fire Flower to defend themselves and attack at the same time.
He dropped the item that he was carrying behind him and somehow managed to miss the last item box set.
The lack of a standstill mini-turbo pretty much means that acceleration will be a bigger player than speed this time.
I'm pretty sure that a hunk of metal the size of a 200-pound man is going to outweigh most of the cast. DK was demoted to mid-heavy for the same reason that Rosalina has never been a middleweight: balance. That is also why the princesses and Yoshi have been constantly bouncing around lightweight, mid-lightweight and middleweight throughout the series.
Couldn't the heavyweights just customize a kart with high acceleration and fix that problem?I'm fine about the stat boosts since they are more fair. And with no standing mini-turbo, speed *****s will suffer more with getting their speed started.
I highly doubt a vehicle would have a combination of high speed and acceleration.
Though let's say worse case scenario, that happens. I'm pretty sure that a combination would have some type of major downside, like bad handling/off-road.
this vid is silly, snaking never left ever since miniturbos in 64, it was just ignored in MKW because of the bikes thats all
Too bad you can't do anything about the person who's holding a Lightning bolt in last place in other MK games...I mean the only way to know someone even has one is to see that it's no longer in the rotation of the items and even then, someone's holding it, ready to screw you over over a jump area.
♪ That's a really cool feature. Getting first is a heavy responsibility, and the upbeats makes the soundtracks sound even better. :D †
♪ You almost scared me thinking that MKDS drifting was back, that would scare almost half the community. †
I think this video might be better. It more or less feels like Mario Kart Wii snaking. ★ I will get this game on the US release, but as usual get at least 3★ on everything before going online. ★
The bottom screen works exactly like it did in Mario Kart DS. It shows all of the character positions, their items and a map with their locations. Looking at it is pretty much optional, as the top screen contains the actual gameplay.
Thank You. The comments were absolutely ridiculous on that video.
I think that the reason that Koopa Troopa isn't pulling away from Bowser is because of the speed stats, Metal Mario was clearly pulling ahead against his ghost.
I don't think so, but explosions have been nerfed and the item balance is way better. Invincibility has only existed in Battle Mode.Is the there any invincibility after getting hit in this game? If I remember my MKW days, it sorta sucked getting hit 7 times and then finally being able to move.
Ok that sounds a lot better to me. I did know invincibility was Battle Mode only, but I wasn't sure what Nintendo would do to fix MKW's issue.
