Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Re: Mario Kart 8

Haven't played enough to get any of the new items. But the courses are nice. Dolphin Shoals is meh, though I don't really mind Bone Dry Ruins. The Gusty Gardens remix at the end of Cloudtop Cruise is fantastic, and I really love the new Bowser's Castle. As for Rainbow Road, the new one is getting too much hate. The drifting on that course is really fun.

Mount Wario is also great, though the second lap is too long compared to the other ones.

Re: Mario Kart 8

I got back from my friend's house. I felt like using the GamePad was easier than the controller, mainly because I could look down at the screen and see what was going on.
Now I have Peach's horn stuck in my head.

EDIT: So my friend was racing single player in Mario Kart 8 when we showed up, to test a new kart before we played multiplayer. She was using the Wii Remote. Her little brother grabbed the GamePad and spammed the horn button.

It was one of my friend's first times playing Mario Kart in 6 years, since the only time she's ever played with a Nintendo console was at her cousin's house, playing Mario Kart 8. We had unfortunately picked the Lightning Cup. Knowing how hard N64 Rainbow Road would be for her, I offered to switch for that race, just in case. She said no. N64 Rainbow Road turned out to be her favourite course, and it was the easiest for her. She hated DS Tick Tock Clock, and thought the bouncy music notes in 3DS Music Park were creepy.

I'm finally glad I'm getting a Wii U soon. I can finally play Online Mode 24/7. This game will eat away at my social life if I actually had one.

My brother just got the game and we've been playing it. Really fun so far. I love the new character unlocking system.

I know. It's a random character every time you get a gold medal on a new cup in a new engine class. Pretty neat new feature.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

So apparently the free game that comes with MK8 also gives you Premium Points, so you can potentially get another game free with that.

It's the game that keeps on giving.

I don't even understand how that free game thing works.

Register the game on Club Nintendo and you can get a download code to get one of several games for free.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

oh

so I might not be able to get that anyway. I don't think Ozgameshop gives club nintendo Aus/NZ codes.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

Codes is inside the game

Any news on Bowser Castle shortcut, in mirror, it is impossible to get 1st place in that course

I get my games from a site that are PAL but aren't from Australia. The Aus/NZ ones are different than the ones from there so I doubt I'll be able to use an incompatible region code.
