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

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Also, 200cc's a pain in the **** when you use heavies on bikes.

You do know that not all bikes have inside drifting, right? The outside drifting bikes can perform just as effectively as the karts and ATVs, even on 200cc.

I'm a sucker for the Varmint/Flame Rider, Slim Wheels and Plane Glider set, sadly; it's my go-to choice. It may also be that I tend to use Bowser, which means higher acceleration, which is not great for 200cc races.

I think you've got speed and acceleration mixed up there. Bowser actually has one of the "lowest" acceleration values in the game.

Ah, that's right. My bad.
Still, 200cc is hell if you aren't prepared for it.

Fortunately for me, I've already 3-starred the 200cc cups.

Whoo! I had played MK8 for like over a week before coming back to this thread. Days at the county made me impossible to play my brother's Japanese Wii U... and my dad obviously not happy about my brother buy the console even with his own money he made...
At first I tried the bikes for the first time ever since MKWii, and I actually had never use the drift function back then, so I didn't drive that well in bike. Even karts were a bit hard a first as well. So far I play with the gamepad when I play by myself, I'm pretty fine with the pro controller, Wii remote + Nunchuck is fine for me as well.
I'm still struggling to complete 150cc... I only had complete 50cc,100c, and 150cc Mushroom,Flower, and Star Cup. I can't imagine how hard would it be to complete 200cc three star rank.

 

[FennerGuy1992]

Mario Kart 8 is the best game on Wii U. I played a lot of 200cc on NC MK8 online tourneys and it's really fun. Alas, I haven't finished getting 3-stars on 200cc because I am usually booked lol
Anyone wanna play MK8 someday with me?

There's a Clash of Karts tournament that's taking place until 12/5 at 11:00 PM ET. It all has to do with the "Clash of Karts: Mario Kart 8" program that will be airing on Disney XD this Saturday.

Has there been any news about a 3rd DLC pack?

What crossover are you hoping to see?

No new announcements of any future DLC. I think Mario Kart 8 is all done with its DLC.

Ah well. The DLC we have is really good, so it's no biggie.

 

[Grizzmeister]

Why is Mario Kart Wii still so expensive? The game has sold over 35,000,000 copies so surely Nintendo could drop the price to $19.99 as a Greatest Hits title.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

It has been a couple months since the last time I've posted speculation stuff for a future Mario Kart installment. For quite a while, I've worked on not just the roster and track thoughts, but also the stat mechanics.

Well... this thread is pretty much dead, so I'll just post a concept for a Mario Kart game I found.

Mario Kart Sprint.
http://fantendo.wikia.com/wiki/Mario_Kart_Sprint

This game was so well explained that I just had to show it off. It's so interesting...

 

[Grizzmeister]

CTGP Revolution update coming next week along with a contest to win a custom Wii.

 

[IvanQuote]

It appears as if a new Mario Kart game, or at least an enhanced port of MK8, has been announced. From what I saw, the main things to make note of are the ability to hold 2 items at once and King Boo as a playable character. The only thing I can think of at the moment I want is the return of Petey Pirhana. Maybe some more quad bikes as well to actually have more than 4 in the game.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

My best guess is they sell it as Mario Kart 9 but it has all the content from 8 in addition to new stuff and the old DLC. As models get harder to make with all the Hs and the Ds you gotta be efficient.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

This may be a dead thread but maybe it will spring to life with Deluxe. because of Regegade Roundup, Im imagining The Villagers as policemen

 

[Tree Gelbman]

I'm broke, but I need to go out and get La La Land on Blu Ray and this.

I'm ready to kart around town on Switch, and by town I mean my bed.

 

[Dan]

So is there a such thing as a "fast" combination (character and kart), or is anyone in anything viable online?

Just realized there were stats.

 

[dezeray112]

If they are going to make further additions or future Mario Kart games, I could see them adding Pauline.
