Mario Universe Mario Kart General Discussion - 200CC Announced | Second DLC Pack Coming in May!

[Deleted member]

GGs, but even in the worldwide servers I'm not finding many people. I was in games of predominately 12 people earlier today though, so maybe it's just a slow traffic time, since this is around the time everyone is either going to bed here, or at work/school on the other side of the world.

 

[Mysteltainn]

Welcome to Mario Kart.

 

[relaxedexcorcist]

Rosalina cheated me out of my win >:[

Got really lucky at the end here.

Are we ever gonna use that community tournament?

 

[Silvera]

Are we ever gonna use that community tournament?

I was wondering the same thing. When are we using it?

Almost fell off the road near the end.

 

[Marthmario]

Could we get DLC? I'm hopeful ;-;

 

[Deleted member]

GGs @ relaxedexcorcist , @ ChikoLad , & @ IsmaR . It was fun while it lasted (COMM ERRORS HNGGG)

 

[Blaziken]

I can play in the tournament if you want.

 

[ImaClubYou]

I present to you, the beat all end all guide to being a god at Mario Kart 8!

 

[relaxedexcorcist]

GGs @Chucklehead Tom @ IsmaR and maybe @ ChikoLad (We might have played, not sure). I feel like lately I've been getting demolished by items far more often now. Everyone just seems to love hitting me all the way into 8th place lately.

I can play in the tournament if you want.

Thanks. I was hoping for more of a community event though. Maybe we can play sometime tomorrow?

Could we get DLC? I'm hopeful ;-;

Well Japan is already confirmed to get Mercedes Benz DLC. Hopefully America will get stuff.

[Yonder]

So most of the discussions I see pertaining to Mario Kart 8 are related to Luigi's death stare...

 

[Shog]

OMG I love the battle mode online. I played like 3 hours straight without noticing lol. And Baby Characters are the way to win btw.

 

[Gatlin]

I'm hoping to see some character DLC.

Looks like you are in luck:

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

@ Gatlin : Funny how of all the characters to choose from, Bowser Jr. still gets the cold shoulder.

Edit: It appears that the contents are fake, as the character icons were likely based on the following images...

Spoiler

If that's fake, that is one of the most convincing fakes I've seen in a long time.

Edit: Just reached 200 posts. Neat.

As fake as it probably is, I think it'll still happen.

 

[ChikoLad]

I can easily see how those could be faked and could probably pull it off myself, but I'll hold my tongue on it until someone finds matching images for the TV in both pictures, or we don't see these at E3.

 

[Blaziken]

One thing that makes me think this is fake is that on the battle mode screen, there are balloons in the background while Bob-omb Blast is selected.

 

[Ginger Hail]

I think it's been said that one of the shots is just an edited photo from the last E3's setup. Plus, if it was actually real, why not just hover over one of the new characters? The 3D render that appears would easily make your case instead of having to rely on some small icons.

 

[relaxedexcorcist]

Playable Nessie would be quite the sight though.

 

[IsmaR]

Seems way too good to be true.

 

[ChikoLad]

Seems way too good to be true.

Well I just watched Microsoft's E3 and it was actually impressive.

So I'd say anything is possible at this point.

 

[praline]

*Plessie. Also not really they easily could shrink her down.

 

[relaxedexcorcist]

*googles* Hum, you're right. For some reason I thought Plessie didn't have feet (not that's stopped anyone before) and was more bottom heavy. So it'd just be orange heavy Yoshi.

 

[Gatlin]

It was indeed fake

Where it was shopped:

Oh well

 

[Headcrab Jackalope]

So I take it the character DLC one is still alive?

Actually, this doesn't make it fake. Apparently the art used for the icons in Mario Kart 8 is reused from other games' art for some characters like Donkey Kong.

 

[Gatlin]

I would highly doubt that one being legit seeing as it came from the same guy that made the bob-omb picture.
It is a very nice edit, though.

Aw. I was hoping to race as Plessie and Kamek.

inb4 real DLC with Petey Piranha that makes me super ecstatic

 

[Gatlin]

Petey Piranha with a Piranha Plant would definitely be hype.

 

[praline]

*googles* Hum, you're right. For some reason I thought Plessie didn't have feet (not that's stopped anyone before) and was more bottom heavy. So it'd just be orange heavy Yoshi.

With a scarf!

 

[ImaClubYou]

Looking for King Boo in a biker suit.

 

[dimensionsword64]

Am I the only one who wants Goomba in Mario Kart? It seems unfair that the mascot enemy of the Mario series isn't playable.

I want too. Him driving with his mouth and throwing items by headbutt xD

In Mario Super Sluggers, he holds the bat using telekinesis. I assume something similar would happen.

This statement is funnier than I had anticipated.

 

[TimeSmash]

I gotta say, I love this game but absolutely hate the ratio of coins to good items in higher places. I'd love if they patched it because I'm so scared to throw a banana away if I'm in like, 3rd or more. Haha

 

[Mysteltainn]

How nice it'd be if we actually got those characters, along with Petey Piranha and King Boo. I find it a little funny how the fake even left Bowser Jr. out in the cold.

 

[TimeSmash]

They probably left him out due to emotional scarring that would occur due to seeing a human and metal version of his mother

 

[Blaziken]

Seeing that fake makes me wonder how Plessie would look driving a kart.

Unrelated topic, has the system bricking glitch ever been fixed?

No word, but I've been playing fine.
