Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Re: Mario Kart 8

It only gives me the option to delete it when clicked. And yes I can access the eShop so I'm connected to the internet.

And nothing happens when I start the game apart from the game starting normally, and the DLC is still locked.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

I'm feeling more confident about the stages now, I just need to 3-star Mirror Triforce and then I don't have to worry about Grand Prix anymore.

I noticed when I was racing on SNES Rainbow Road that there are some toad houses glowing on the ground which was cute, it made me like the stage more. I also noticed that within the master sword room of Hyrule Circuit is stain glass windows each with a medallion for a sage. That was pretty neat.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

I dunno man, maybe deleting the digital copy (hell, buying two fucking versions might've helped with the problem) accidentally deleted the DLC and update data as well.
I suck at this kind of stuff, so this may be incorrect.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

So I've noticed these characters when viewing my recent playthrough of Dragon Driftway

I wish I can read Chinese so I can tell you what they mean...

edit: it appears to be Lakitu in simplified Chinese...
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

ok ive played each course at least twice so here's my opinion on them

mute city = dragon driftway >>>>>>>>>> hyrule circuit > excitebike arena > yoshi circuit gcn > wario's gold mine > snes rainbow road > ice ice outpost

the music on mute city and dragon driftway is amazing
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

Here are my opinions on all the tracks.

Yoshi Circuit: Fun to play on, but kind of sucks that there's no gliding, water, or antigrav at ALL.

Excitebike Arena: The random layout is cool, but it's really boring just going in a big oval 3 times.

Dragon Driftway: Awesome. It's so fun to play on this course. All of the twists and turns allow you to get lots of orange boosts. Guess that's why it's called Dragon Driftway.

Mute City: My god, this track is amazing. Amazing music and track design. There's so much fanservice going on here. Just listen to the sound before at the countdown and the music when you view the results.

Wario's Gold Mine: I'm having a hard time deciding if I like this or Mute City more. I think they're about equal. The way they updated this is awesome. The antigrav section is really fun. I'm not a big fan of the remix, but the music was awesome to begin with so I can deal with it.

SNES Rainbow Road: It's OK. I like it more than the MK7 version, but it's still a bit boring.

Ice Ice Outpost: Ugh. The music is catchy, but this track is SO ANNOYING. The thin track combined with the ice that messes with your traction ruins this course for me. Plus, 2 out of the 3 shortcuts I can never seem to pull off.

Hyrule Circuit: My favorite behind Mute City/Gold Mine. This is everything I could have asked for in a Zelda track. The fact that coins are replaced by rupees is cool, plus the secret in the master sword room with the 3 spin boosters is just amazing. I can never seem to hit the second one though.

Wario's Gold Mine = Mute City > Hyrule Circuit > Dragon Driftway > Yoshi Circuit > SNES Rainbow Road > Excitebike Arena = Ice Ice Outpost
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

I finally got the DLC to download after restarting my Wii U.

Haven't played each track but once, but allow me to say that I still hate Wario's Gold Mine, they didn't change it enough for me to like it in this one.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

Wow. Just realized that none of the DLC tracks have underwater. Only 2 of them even have gliding.
