Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Re: Mario Kart 8

Well, isn't the ATV thing technically both?

Re: Mario Kart 8

I think her biker suit is based on her pose; her pose resembles her biker pose rather than her karting pose.

So... are ATVs a new category or some unique kart type?

Re: Mario Kart 8

I'm pretty sure Iwata said buggy type vehicles are a new type.

Better update the Mario Kart 8 page

Re: Mario Kart 8

I just noticed a strange "discrepancy" in Rosalina's artwork. If she's posing with a kart and not a motorcycle...

Why is she wearing her biker suit?

ATVs aren't exactly dress-friendly, so it's safe to say that Peach, Daisy, and Rosalina will use their biker outfits while riding on them.

Actually, maybe San Francisco could be Mushroom Cup?

Except Mario Circuit wasn't in Mushroom Cup since Super Mario Kart.

Re: Mario Kart 8

Pretty sure Mario Circuit will be a Mushroom Cup course this time. It's straightforward and easy and it looks like it introduces the gravity mechanic

Re: Mario Kart 8

San Francisco is called Toad Harbor. Who knew this would be a Toad course? Lol.

EDIT: apparently it's a flower cup course

Re: Mario Kart 8

Me looks up the Dutch Twitter and is disappointed in the Dutch translation of Toad Harbor.

Thwomp Ruins and Sweet Sweet Canyon are okay though.

Those Flower Cup signs were Galaxy Air ads in the demo. Shows how things change in development.

Mario Circuit from Mario Kart 7 also looks straightforward, easy, and it also has gliding segments. Dunno about how "representative" the gliding is, but still.

I wish Mario didn't get a circuit like he always does, except for the beach in Mario Kart Arcade GP.

Yeah but signs point to Mario Circuit being a starting course here. I mean it looks so bland and boring compared to the other courses. We have 12 revealed courses, correct? That leaves 4, assuming we get 16 new tracks like always, and 2 would be a Bowser's Castle and a Rainbow Road. Wonder what the 2 will be?

Re: Mario Kart 8

All three of my favorite MK7 tracks are returning.

It'd be even awesomer if we see Wario Colosseum.

Yeah, I loved all of them. Now it needs Rosalina's Ice World and the battle tracks and I'm complete

Fuck that track it's like my least favorite track

Re: Mario Kart 8

Two words, HORN BUTTON

 

[Ray Trace]

Re: Mario Kart 8

Haven't we known this, like, a while ago?

 

[Anser]

Re: Mario Kart 8

Useless feature is useless. I won't stop pressing the buttons I need to freaking MOVE to press the horn button.

 

[DragonFreak]

Re: Mario Kart 8

It's basically, maybe, like the taunts on SSB.

Re: Mario Kart 8

i would totally spam the shit out that horn while playing online

 

[Anser]

Re: Mario Kart 8

What I mean is that it's useless not because of the feature itself, but because how uncomfortable to use it looks. If there's a specific button to use it, then it's ok. I'm just saying I'm not going to let go of the buttons to get the stylus out of the GamePad just to use the horn.

I would too. This is coming from a girl who loves to annoy people by purposely playing it bad.

I see. Yeah, that would be pointleess.
