Since forever lol.
Wait, are you talking about when you're in 1st, you see someone with it, you break and let 2nd pass you, and then they get hit by it?

No, we're talking about literally dodging it.Blazevoir wrote:

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.Blazevoir wrote:
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?
And dodging blue shells? Please. I turn around and manually punch the fucker out.
Learn something new every day 
lol
lolMKDS: 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.
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
Or Wario Stadium where you can finish the track in 16 seconds with 3 mushroomsmm201 wrote:

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.
oh boy, it was!Blazevoir wrote:

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.

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.mm201 wrote:

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 joined 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 contact 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.

I'm up for a race anytime within 12 PM - 12 AM CST (GMT -6) assuming I don't have anything else to do.
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 germany 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.
Kinda voting for a weekly community race, but I'll try to catch you guys.
I'm not much of a presence here on the osu forums but I couldn't pass this up when I saw it. I have joined the osu community!
Also my FC is 2707-1623-9659. If anyone adds me let me know so I can add back.

Nintendo won't let me join D:
Good games, everybody! My hands are still shaking...
That first RR was like a perfect run. Besides falling off the ripply road with holes too early.
General observations:
Blazevoir is cool dude
When Soaprman is around, things get messy.
Remmy is mediocre at everything.
I am the undisputed banana/green shell champion
SNES Rainbow Road is a road that you go to die.

Been playing Mario Kart 7 for the past few days and I think my Ghost Data is appearing on the Ghost Data that Nintendo sends through the Mario Kart Channel via SpotPass. I've even beaten the all of the regular Staff Ghosts and gotten close to beating some of the expert ones as well.
As a side note, that turn after the mushroom jump on Rainbow Road is just sinister. Especially since you can't see it until you make the jump.

It's totally unsightreadable. I fell off the first bunch of times I played the track because I took it right in the middle instead of staying to the left. You also need to time your tricks carefully or you'll bounce too far.
The worst part is probably the turn with the 4 drops around the small moon. When I land them, I begin drifting the wrong way for some reason unless I press R twice. The huge corner cut at the end also takes a lot of luck.
It would be nice if Mario Kart Channel would always send the world records, and also if you could watch replays of ghosts.

Jeez... 8 people races are just insane... Half the time I ended up placing 4th or worse...
BLUE SHELL 2 SECONDS FROM THE FINISH LINE
1ST TO 5TH
WHYYYYYYY
1ST TO 5TH
WHYYYYYYY
tl;dr - my wireless is really stupid and waits to D/C me until 2 seconds after the race has started
I have come to the conclusion that the only course I can do well on is Maple Treeway ;~;
Screw that track... I keep getting hit by items RIGHT when I enter the cannon ;~;

Anyway, we seriously need to have an 8-person community race. (I'd also love it if we could, say, get on Vent so we can hear each other rage XD)
EDIT: So I did Worldwide afterwards... Ended up doing Maka Wuhu 3x in a row ._. UGH! (Seems like Metal Mario players pick that a lot...)

.Of all the times to get capped.
I'm all over the prospect of voice chat... sure, I'll download Ventrilo. I see the thread with the server information too (as well as details of all the... hijinks that transpire in the main chat). I guess we can try that next time we gather!
And I hoped they would fix it.http://sticktwiddlers.com/2012/01/16/news-nintendo-refuses-to-budge-on-mario-kart-7-glitch/
They seem to be blocking glitched ghosts from appearing through Spotpass. I hope they can still figure out something serverside, like preventing the track from being chosen, or making glitchers explode in a giant fireball forever.
The reasoning in that article is not to put out a revised cartridge, since people with the first version would still be able to do the glitch. This doesn't rule out the forced-update-to-play-online possibility.

Well but they could do it like with Zelda Skyword sword.
But even then ... You have to dwl it the patch channel . I guess there would be still people who wouldn't do that because they are idiots.
But you have to connect with Nintendo before racing online so it should be possible to force people to dwl the patch "channel".
I hope they will fix this sometime ... or i just play with communities who don't like choosing this Wuhu track.

You tell me your timezone and I try finding a good time spot :3
GMT + 1
But i say that it will happen on weekends :3
If anything (and this is unintentional), we usually have them on the weekends.
Just stalk players in your friends list and try to drop in on their games.
If more than 2 gather, they'll probably call for a kartparty so stay in #videogames.

I recently heard of this glitched shortcut on Wuhu Mountain Loop and I checked one of the ghosts I got from Streetpass doing this shortcut. I tried it myself in Time Trial and here's the time I got:
Guess that makes me the cheapest bastard in the world right now now.

Wait, even Wuhu Loop has a glitch?

Now I'm wondering if Rainbow Road has one...

I wouldn't do the glitch on my time trials. It would prevent the game from ever storing a legitimate record there for me ever again, and Nintendo filters out glitched runs for Spotpass.
Yeah, Maka Wuhu was called "Wuhu Mountain Loop" in other versions, and our Wuhu Loop is "Wuhu Island Loop"

So... I've seriously been wanting to have an 8-player kartparty for a while now (over Community, of course)... If possible, can we try to get everyone together tonight or tomorrow night around... I dunno... 10 PM - 12 AM CST (GMT -6)? (Not saying that's how long I'd want us to play; you can play as long as you want/drop out whenever.)
