Eh, who knows...

Anyway, *spams Waluigi Pinball*

Yeah, they just want to increase their VR and ruin the fun for everyone else.

It's even worse when there's more than one person doing it... This morning I was playing online and THREE people kept spamming the track and exploiting the glitch. I eventually just ragequit because since maps automatically end 30 seconds after someone crosses the finish line, most players don't even get to finish. :I

Naw dawg, everyone knows ? is the best level.

And yeah, I guess there's always the "problem u mad im so epic troll guy" aspect of spamming Maka Wuhu too.

Honestly, they should put a restriction on how many times you can race on one track during one session or patch the game (not sure how that'll work, but...).

From what I've read, it doesn't seem like it's possible to patch, but I'm thinking that the track could at least be blocked from online play...

Was anything ever done about the Volcano glitch in MKWii? :/

Another glitch I'll have to look up...

whoooooops >.>;;;

Son of a, seriously?

Damn.

...

Woooooooooooooooooooooow...

Anyway, I don't even play MKWii anymore, so I wouldn't know.

That one can only be done in time trials though. There's another one that can be done in any race. Although the glitch in this game is pretty bad.

*suddenly, re all the MK64 glitches* Ah, nostalgia...

Anyway, I'm up for a race anytime within 12 PM - 12 AM CST (GMT -6) assuming I don't have anything else to do.

I only spam retro Rainbow road because i love the song Maybe i map it sometime ... but i suck at mapping D:

I don't know which glitch you mean? because when i play the track online nobody do this ^^
Btw who cares about your online points? I don't even know how some people got 3 stars next to their name

Btw i really didn't know so many people from osu! played yesterday xD because i only recorgnized JJ, soaprman and Xgor ...
(maybe because the others didn't add me )

For the Wii, it's if you only keep using the Wii Wheel long enough. For the 3DS, if you keep using gyro controls.

No .3. You just get 3 stars on every single grand prix in the game

You get a black wheel for using gyro controlls, though, right?

Yeah, a black wheel if you're using gyro controls. It turns into a gold wheel if you win a lot with gyro controls or something? Not sure. I've seen a golden wheel online only once.

Wait, really? I thought the stars were just based on how much you used gyro controls...

Meh... Not that it matters... I can't STAND not having 3 stars on each Grand Prix.

I have a healthy mix of 1-3 star ranks and unplayed Mirror cups.

WHO IS CODY!

Dear "Cody": spamming Maka Wuhu to get useless internet points in a small community is a pretty douchey thing to do. The rest of us prefer racing on an entire track to racing on 2/3 of a track.

Someone should edit the OP to note that we prefer playing without glitching and that glitchers are frowned upon and make great item targets during races.

Seriously... Nintendo needs to restrict how often you can spam a track >_> *looks at Cody AKA (possibly) Foggen*

The who is cody game is fun
I spam rainbow road because i can (until i played it one time ^^)
btw i don't even know what you are talking about? which glitch
because i really don't get it

A way to skip nearly 1/3 of the track by falling off at a certain point and having Lakitu drop you much further into the track. You don't need a mushroom to do it... just need to land within a sweet spot in the water.

Is it alright to vote on Maku Wuhu if we won't actually use the exploit and don't spam it?

In a no-glitch community, yes. On Worldwide... not really.

Can't wait for school to begin again so I can play online properly again! ^_^

If you meet a Konata Mii, that's probably me. I don't pick Maka Wuhu, but if someone else does I usually use the glitch, cause that's why most people pick this course.
btw: Cody is stalking me :U

I never use glitches, cheats and stuff like that ^^
(only in singelplayer offline after beating the game )

I guess Mario Kart 64 had the most glitchy shortcuts.
btw it was really great to play with you <3

We should add "kart" to our highlights so you can say "kart" and people will know what's going on!

I'll probably do that for a while unless it gets rapid-spammed, lol.

Anyway, how often are community races?

wouldn't it be smarter if we write Mariokart as higlight so that the danger of spam is more reduced?

Good point... but if we're going to do that, why not make it a specific phrase? I'm going to nominate "kartparty".

Finally 3-starred everything. Had everything but 2 cups on 150cc and but kept getting hit with blue shells at the end of races thus screwing up the chance for a 3-star. :I

Unfortunately, I'll be out-of-state for the rest of the week, but perhaps I can finally a kartparty when I get back!

I've ed the osu! community but i'm not giving my friend code just yet.

Just give me a shout on IRC by highlight or PM (look for Remmy, I'm rarely on osu! client anymore) if we get a bunch of racers together

Lulz, oddest thing just happened:

Final lap on Waluigi Pinball -> I was in first for a while -> I get hit with a Blue Shell right before the finish line -> 2nd es me -> they get hit by their own Green Shell -> I retake and finish in 1st

Do you get anything for getting 3-stars everywhere? Before i waste my time (cause 150 cup is only 1star on all cups) i better ask someone^^

Edit: kartparty sounds nice

You get three stars by your name in online races. And if you're a completionist, the satisfaction of knowing you'll never have to touch GP mode again.

1 star everywhere earns you the Gold Wheels. I don't think 3 stars does anything differently besides giving you 3 stars next to your name in matches.

I got the game for Christmas and have already gotten 3 stars on everything. (Had to replay a bunch of cups because of blue shells over glider sections, yadda, yadda.) I want to TT each course and find all the legit glider shortcuts before heading to online but I'll add you and maybe drop in on some matches.

I'll get my FC when I'm not at work and it's safe to pull out my 3DS. Look for a sexy mii in green called Greg.

Sounds like GP is something bad xD One thing that disappoints me is you only unlock characters in 150 cc.
Also i would like to ask. Favourite tracks /new and retro ^^

and btw
Why is there no mission mode like in Mario Kart DS ? sure the missions were easy but still ):

and bbtw thx for the information

Favorite new track: Music Park. The piano/xylophone curves do it for me. Toad Circuit is a close second.

Favorite retro track: Maple Treeway. That I play Wiggler has nothing to do with this choice... it's a great track with lots of fun turns and jumps.

Yeah, I wish there had been more unlockables.

Also, I was hoping that the three-section races had had another lap around in higher cc races, but due to maka wuhu I'm glad that they don't...

In case i didn't post my fav. tracks yet.

New: DK Jungle, can't help myself but since i enjoyed DKC:R so much I had to love this one. I love the song and theme, also this glider (shortcut?) before the golden banana temple is awesome i always try to land on the edge of each turbo to fly farther. Even though you can easily be an asshole at the last curve with blue/red shells.

Retro: SNES Rainbow Road : I guess most people can figure that out since i always spam this track sry, music,diff. and the 2 legit shortcuts are awesome. Sometime ago i played this on my SNES again ... don't play in dark rooms ...

Btw i tried the glitch and i feel dirty now. My record is 1:20:312 now ... which sucks because people can eventually see my ghost on time trial.
:/ Maybe Nintendo should take more time in developing games, i mean Retro Studios had to help with the Retro courses so they could sell it before christmas. i can understand this all but still ...

Oh! Favorite tracks?

New: Rainbow Road it's crazy but so much fun. Music Park has slowly grown on me too

Retro: Mushroom Gorge. Let me say this, I hate hated HAAAATED Mushroom Gorge for the Wii but somehow, it's one of my favorite courses in this game. I think it's possibly due to the control scheme, it works so well

Waluigi Pinball. How can you not love this one <3

New: I think it's called Rock Rock Mountain; <3 hang gliding
Retro: Waluigi Pinball; for some reason I love casino/pinball tracks (this also includes the one on Sonic & SEGA All-Star Racing)

And yeah, I missed Mission Mode... I also hate the fact that they took out single player VS... I wanna race on the tracks I want without having to go online, doing a GP, or doing Time Trial ._.

Maple Treeway is the best retro in MK7 :3

Not sure I like or hate any of the new ones just yet though.

And just to put it out there Rainbow Road Wii is the best course for all the games imo.

YES! Someone else who loves Wii's Rainbow Road

P.S. I LOVE its music over the other Rainbow Roads. Orchestra/Symphony music ftw!

Wii's RR has awesome music. I want another RR with loops, like MKDS's.
I like Music Park because it has piano keyboards which is just awesome. That ending drum shortcut is a pain. I keep ending up in the grass. ;/

PS. Add me: 0645 5976 3384

Lol, MKDS' RR was fun during the loops if you time it correctly (if you catch my drift).

Anyway, so when do you guys do community races? Is it just random or... what?

Rail ride SC or do you mean flying off the track?

Rail ride SC? Anyway, I meant hitting opponents during the loops and they fall out.

Oh hurr, that's so annoying! And easier to do in the second loop for some reason.
Anyway, the rail ride allows you to skip the first loop. You time a shroom just right and you land on the right rail and fall into it, then you can hop to the far side of the loop.
There are also 2 Lakitu abuse glitches if you can hit the posts holding up parts of the track.

What? I almost always pull off knocking opponents off on the first loop but hardly ever the second...

Anyway, I've never done that shortcut much less heard about it till now.

I reached an extremely high skill level in MKDS at one point. Back when nSider was still around. Good times.

I miss being able to snake now, but that just made people ragequit more.

...Eh, what can you do.

I preferred the fast pace. Kicking around the track not doing anything to try and go faster just feels wrong somehow.
But they did a good job keeping out long straight sections from tracks so you still get to release a lot of MTs. I still would be happier if they brought back the original MT system. Keeping both methods would help intermediate players keep up a bit. And it's not like beginners stand a chance anyway, even with the nerved MTs.

I miss being able to dodge red shells without items ;~;

You can break a red shell on MK7 if you hop over a little gap in the road. Bowser Castle has a few.

xD

I knew a few tricks in DD, but never got around to learning anything in the DS version.

Since forever lol.

No, we're talking about literally dodging it.

It's easiest with a mushroom, though IIRC in at least one game you can dodge it without a shroom.

Completely random. The "kartparty" highlight I've been suggesting is to make them easier to organize.

And dodging blue shells? Please. I turn around and manually punch the fucker out.

Learn something new every day lol

MKDS: Charge an MT. When the shell stops above your head, release the MT and hop towards the same direction. It's easy on 150cc, but nearly impossible on 100cc. Extremely slippy courses make it easier, which is why Frappe Snowland gets picked a lot.
You can also dodge them off of bumps. What's essential is that you're facing sideways when the shell hits.

MKW: I don't play MKW, but apparently a carefully timed mushroom will get you out. I'm not sure if any maneuvering is required as well.

I hope an MK7 method is eventually discovered.

It's kinda odd though... MK7's blue shell kinda flies the same as MKWii's and MKDS'; it's just that MK7's flies low to the ground now except for when it's about to hit 1st place.

Guesses: 1) They made the bomb-targeting better and/or 2) the explosion is bigger.

My guess: they made MTs weaker, or they changed how it aims. In MKDS, it aims at about 2 feet in front of your kart, in the hopes that you'll drive into the explosion. (The explosion is also larger than 2 feet in radius, so this was thought a safe assumption.) This is why flying through the air facing sideways causes the shell to miss.

If they so much as used your velocity instead of your facing, that alone would make dodging them much more difficult. Maybe they're possible to dodge by ticking. (just nicking the edge of a wall so that you bounce off without losing speed)

Here's the real clincher: blue shell dodging in MKDS on 100cc (used for all wi-fi battles) was extremely difficult, and required either frame-perfect timing, assistance from a bump, or a slippery road. It was balanced. I don't get why they removed it.

I like MK7's low-flying blue shell. It's more like the one on MK64 and increases the chance of other players being hit.

Why do i always think of Mortal Kombat when people use MK as shortcut for Mario Kart :-/

Something that is always weird for me^^
How do find people all those glitches and such. They must be really bored ^^

Btw I hope that Toads Turnpike from Mario Kart 64 is in the next Mario Kart . That track was awesome in Mirror Mode

Eww, I HATED that track... If anything, I hope they bring back Royal Raceway with the glitches fixed.

lol MK64's Lakitu manip was epic. Skip the entire Frappe Snowland track

Was MK64 THAT glitchy?

Lakitu manip?

Manipulation. Intentionally falling off the course at a specific spot which causes Lakitu to put you back on the track at a much further position. MK7 has one of them on Maka Wuhu. I think every 3d Mario Kart has at least one.

Ohhh that's right.

DK Jungle

i guess there are more trick/glitch tracks. I could do all tricks on them ^^

What's the glitch in Kalimari Desert?
The only DKJ glitch I know is a wall which doesn't clip in the cave near the end. It's only useful to save .5 or something on lap3 since you fall off the course when you do it.

mm201 wrote: 25v2b

What's the glitch in Kalimari Desert?

Using a Star in the tunnel, which makes it count as a lap and possibly putting you in first. If you try this without a Star, it won't work, forcing you to do the WHOLE lap all over again, pretty much guaranteeing you being in last.

Anyway, so I'm not always on osu! and I don't like leaving my 3DS on (not even on my charger UNLESS it needs to be charged)... How will I know if you guys have a community race?

Be lucky.

I found CDFA and he ed in for one race on Kalimari Desert, then left. =/
I got triple shrooms near the end, cut off the long turn alongside the tracks, and won 1st. I think he must've gotten item pwnt because he should have been second.

Unless there's a way for us to tell you there's a kartparty going on, then the only way for you to know is to be lucky, as mm201 said.

You say you don't keep osu! turned on but is there another way to you? Like AIM or MSN or something? I'd happily take a few seconds to message you whenever it's going down if it's an option.

Also, knowing what times people are around may help. I'm generally around most of the evening after I get home from work, which tends to be between 6-8pm (GMT-5). Often I'm around at random on weekends too.

And if there isn't a game in progress, why not try starting one? A number of us have kartparty on our highlights now for exactly this purpose.

And I didn't wanna try starting one since... well... I didn't know when everyone usually gets on. I'd leave my 3DS on, even in Sleep Mode, but... a battery that only lasts about 7 hours at max isn't long enough, especially if you wanna play your 3DS nearly every day. I'm reluctant to play because of that ._. (I'm also more reluctant to charge it/leave it on the charger because I don't want the battery life to go down sooner.)

I live in so i have CET (GMT + 1 or UTC + 1 / UTC + 2 while summertime) i hope this is right xD

On weekend i have no problems staying the whole night awake ^^ so if the time differences are to big i can do something against it

I have Fridays/weekends off, so I can afford to stay up all night on Thursdays. GMT-5. -4 during Summer. I don't notice highlights on irssi, so try to catch me on osu! or I can stalk you in my 3ds friends list.
