I would assume the community points are based on finishing position like in GP mode. That's the only thing that makes sense to me.

Hey, not necessarily. I won the MK Wii league and I missed four weeks

Well, I know why Kenny is happy, I won't be throwing upside down question blocks in front of him right before the finish line anymore! Hehe.

What I'm saying is that it kinda sucks that it means there's one less item we can lob forward.

How does that work? Do we only play with others? Or only with ourselves?

Edit: Ah, I read further. So it's within ourselves but at any given time.

Also, @anon_mastermind

They do kinda show up on Wuhu Island but yeah, it's missing, and I love that. I like the amount it's used in the tracks it is in.

Okay, can I mention unlockable characters now? We've all played online, yes?

I will be mentioning a character for those who care:


I love when Wiggler is hit that he turns red and his eyes get demonic, just like Super Mario World. He keeps his flower, but I'll allow it.
We also get the anger steam sound effect from Sunshine. Excellent.

The Wuhu track has cars though?
12/05/11, 20:48   
  anon_mastermind  
Oh it did? I didn't notice or just plain forgot. Anyways, they are not the main feature or obstacle of that track, which is nice.

@anon_mastermind
Yeah, you mean an urban, car-infested track, yes? I sort of miss one. I liked Moonview a lot.

I HAVEN'T! But I knew about him. I'm fine with it unless someone else complains right now, but for that post I will tag it to be safe. Online does kinda spoil things pretty quick...

Now that I know all the characters though, I personally don't care and the thread is pretty long. Anyone vote against allowing unlockable character's spoilers in? Otherwise from here on out, don't worry about it.

Again, so that this thread doesn't also turn into another complaint-debate about that sort of thing, if someone objects, then let me know but from now on in this thread we shall allow all characters to be freely discussed.

As for the 10 coins being the limit... I'm not 100% sure but I think that even if you do collect coins, it gives you a tiny speed boost. I'll have to pay more attention next time.

It was the same for Super Mario 3D Land, so I just knew.

That is correct.

@VofEscaflowne

Based on an interview I read, the coins slightly increase your top speed. Pretty cool.
12/05/11, 21:40   
  VofEscaflowne  
@Abdooooo

Yeah but I mean even after you're maxed out. Collecting coins will give you tiny speed boosts so it's not totally pointless to collect them. And of course as it was already mentioned, it prevents your opponents from getting them too.

Hey neat, I just noticed that if you have your glider out and land on a ramp, it'll send you back in the air and give you more air time so you can take some shortcuts better.

Woo! Got a Street Pass!

Pretty cool that it shows their online stats and total coins collected.

And I totally didn't realize you could customize a Grand Prix for anyone that Street Passes you to play. Also edited it so anyone that Street Passes me will now get my Mii in my super awesome Barrel Train

EDIT: WOOOO! Just boosted out of my first blue shell with a mushroom. Felt soooo good, lol

Is "top speed" only when your kart is going on straightaways? Or does this speed carry into turning and drifting as well?

...I thought this wasn't out yet!

I thought it came out on the 7th. Subconscious mindfoolery.
