If anyone doesn't know, there is a Mario Kart Wii discount at GameStop. Trade in two games (on a certain list) and you have to pay only $10 for the new racer. I took advantage of the situation and reserved Guitar Hero: Aerosmith.
ive beaten a few expert ghosts.. takes like 15-30 mins solid to do one tho its insane their sooo good.. my most recent one off the top of my head is moo moo meadows.. then went on to challenge the world champ and cried at my inadequacy
How do you unlock the expert ghosts?
do a quick time.. beat the normal staff ghost by 4-8 seconds a lap depending on the size of the course and when the time display comes up with all your attempts it should say it at the bottom

I beaat one on luigi's circuit. I can't keep up with the world champion for even 1 lap on that stage. But he takes a smart shortcut and uses a faster bike I think. I keep hitting the pipes when trying the shortcut
.
.Okay, also is it true that unlocking a few of the expert ghosts unlocks a character? I need to know this so when I do get MK Wii it will be easier for me to get everything.

I got the first one by winning 25 ghost races
No you just need to unlock 4 expert ghosts by beating 4 ghosts by a decent amount, eg 5-10 seconds.

It showed 10-12 people joining, but only six ever raced. Is this common? What happened?

I hope they change how Blue Shell works in future Mario Kart games.
So you can basically only get Blue Shells at 7-12th Place, problem with that is it doesn't help you when you're in 7-12th place.
Blue Shells are just there so players at 7-12th place can annoy the 1st place racer, it doesn't help them(unless there's a rare scenario where the first place person only happens to be a few feet in front of the 7th place racer).
Here's my idea for making Blue Shells less annoying for the 1st place players and actually useful for the people that's in 7-12th place:
1. Make Blue Shells hit everyone in front of you. Except Blue Shells no longer explode, instead, they're basically a Red Shell that hits everyone in front of you.
2. Blue Shells should be easier to dodge, Blue Shells should move very slowly left and right and they will try to home in on each players but players should able to dodge it by simply boosting or drifting out of the way at the very last second.
3. Blue Shells should no longer remove items(because they can hit everyone).
4. Blue Shells can also be fired backwards, they will not, however, home on any targets. When a Blue Shell is fired backwards, it just fires straight behind the vehicle and if it hits something, it will explode.
However, the Blue Shell should move 30% slower than a standard green shell, making the Blue Shell that's fired backwards dodgeable.
5. Blue Shells can be obtained from 12th-1st place.

Ryuker, Zgetto or someone who wants to play me either PM me or tell me on MSN or someplace else.
You've seen the Frostbeule guy who has several WRs? He's also a smasher, who mainly just owns people in racing games.

Those are some of the worst suggestions that I've ever heard. In what fantasy world is giving a blue shell to the guy in first place a good idea?
The blue shell helps the people in the back by slowing down the guy in 1st, so that the people in 2nd and 3rd become more of a threat. If the guy in 1st gets too much of a lead, the people way in the back have no chance of ever winning. But if you slow him down, the race will become closer between the people in the front and they'll slow eachother down while the people in back catch up.

Yeah, I actually miss that a lot.
Specifically, the blue shell had a very specific sound effect, so you knew when that sound started you only had a few second to move out of the track's center.
I miss that sound, it was the sound of terror.
blue shells are OK as they are.. doing the things you suggested would be poor.. but freeman is right.. thats how their supposed to act in theory ive only played enough games till im a 7000 rating so i wouldnt know.. im chasing time trials more than anything no blue shells for me!
one thing that did annoy me the other day tho was in battle mode i got hit by a blue shell :/ and then lightening?! nintendo forget to take them out of battle mode..?

I liked the character specific weapons, but there was a major problem with them in DD...
which was that you couldn't have mirror matches (same character vs. same character). Considering that some characters had weapons that either were inferior or only appeared when in last place, it made character choosing important. So it was stupid that only one person could have any given character.
Especially when 2 characters had the same weapon, but were in different weight classes. I'm aware that at high level most people used heavy karts, but still, the option should have been there.

It's removed but it would have been cool if they were back.

Well we can just take out the "Fire backards idea" and make it so only 4th-12th place gets it.

Yeah, Mario Kart Wii looks pretty awesome, for sure.
I have it reserved now, so all I have to do is wait for it to get here.
I look forward to playing as Funky Kong and Dry Bowser, too.

Played against a German guy I know, he had his rating at 9999 when we started. That's just... mind-blowing. Online play rocks, I've had no issues with it.
