There are dozens of titles. I have a different one every time I look at my profile.
NaomiMinette
I still wish I could find a title list...

I started getting 3 Stars on each cup but i hate 150cc so much ... even though i collect 40 coins and had 40 points i only get 2 Stars >:(
50, 100 and mirror cup were sooo easy but i can't stand 150cc D: I hate it stupid thunder and blue shells.
mm201
I got 2 stars from 38 points once. I think it has to do with how much time you spend in first on each of the races.
If you get knocked off, you might as well restart.
Why oh why did they nerf blue shell dodging?

I can understand why there are thunders even though i fucking hate them.
But blue shells are so useless. You get them from position 5 - 8 and they hit the first guy. Yeah so great, you just wasted an item.
Ok in Mario Kart 7 the blue shell also can hit people that are on the shells way not like the DS version but still, it is a stupid and useless item.
I don't know anyone who likes that piece of crap.

They removed the ghost for some reason but why not the blue shell?
Most annoying item since Mario Kart 64.
Derekku
Yeah, you can still only get 2 stars with 40 points... From what I've seen, you need to finish x seconds ahead of everyone else (thus close-call races aren't good enough).

I do...

First place is a very defensive position. Compared to the hell that goes on in the lower ranks, with star ramming and massive shell assaults, it can be very easy for the first place racer to gain 10 coins and make a runaway. They focus on tightening their line while all the other players are fighting to stay alive. The blue shell aims to reel them in a bit.

What they need to do is reduce red and blue shell appearances on lap3, and bring back blue shell dodging which requires supreme ninja skillz to accomplish.

The ghost and fake item boxes were cool.

Ok I can agree to this point of view but the fact that it is mostly happens to me in lap 3 is a huge problem.
I also think that the red shells is almost like the blue shell, I mean the other player can be so far away and it will follow you even though you can protect yourself.
mm201
Blocking reds with items is more reliable than blue shell dodging ever was.

So it gives others a chance to catch up? I don't see why you'd think of them as useless.

My point is this:

You are 5th and get the blue shell, you shoot it and it hits the 1st but you don't get anything. It only helps people on 2nd or 3rd place.
It only helps you if you are lucky enough to hit the 2nd and 3rd (maybe 4th) with the explosion of the shell.
I don't know if it is possible to get the blue shell as 4th but i guess 5th is the best position for that.
Even worse if you get BS as 8th.
It is my opinion and i have no problems with yours but i guess it is impossible to convince me that the BS is useful.
It is just a passive item which only helps people a few places behind the 1st but not the guy who gets it.
mm201
The same is true of the lightning bolt.
If blue shells originated from the environment instead of other racers, there'd be much more rage.

Na i just hate lightning bolts when i am gliding other a canyon
maybe but atleast you profit by lightning bolts if you get them and you can protect yourself if you are lucky enough to have a star.

I don't think there would be more rage maybe the same or less.

More like,
*player 5 gets lightning*
*player 4 is in a star and unaffected*
*player 4 proceeds to ram players 3, 2, and 1 out of existence*

And they made the bullet bill so slow and stupid in this game, its only purpose is to serve as a hazard to players in low positions.

but even then you as 5 would profit by it since you should be able to get ahead of atleast 4th or 3rd (in case the "old" 4 got the star)

Well atleast you can abuse the bullet bill in the "Wii Mushroom idk the english name ^^" if you using it in the right moment before the end of the track where all the many mushrooms you have to jump/glide other, it won't end until the final curve before the goal :3
Soaprman
I have mixed feelings on blue shells in 8th place. They do more damage from there since there are more people to hit, and it's always fun knowing that first place is almost certainly getting his shit ruined. On the other hand, it doesn't help move me into star ramming range.

And yeah, bullet bill is totally a booby prize in this game. So lame. Not even very fun to use.

well maybe we can stop at this point about whining over items (sry that i started it ^^)

maybe you enjoy this

The poot...

It might be edited. Look at the numbers on everyone before the shortcut (and Toad after the shortcut). Multiple fifth places.
mm201
I should pick a heavy and see if I can ram some CPUs into the Maka Wuhu glitch.
NaomiMinette
Heavy + Mushroom + (nearly) perfect alignment*

Good luck
mm201
So I'm going to abstain from Kart until I've worked through some obligations to work and to osu!stream. That means I'll have a hard time dropping in on kartparties for the next 3 weeks or so.
jjrocks
Who will I star ram now ;-;

You can ram me so much you want ... if we ever have the next kartparty which for my timezone possible ;)
It sucks that i can't chat in osu! while playing MK7 :(

Sorry, my signature is dedicated to my favoritest pet beatmap right now. But it's a solid idea that deserves exploring when the time comes!
NaomiMinette
I'm looking forward to it? XD
bomber34
Finally got 3 stars everywhere xD
had to do 150cc like 20 times, farmed other 600 coins though ^^

Please give me nice words for my torture like:
this is nothing special

;) I found my personal kart now ^^
Btw is there a border where you don't get any new kart parts with coins?
got 2500 now ^^
Mianki

bomber34 wrote:

The border is 5,000 coins.
But it goes higher if you want to unlock gold glider for 10,000 coins and gold standard body for 20,000 coins. But there's another way to unlock them, check the link.
Got info from: http://www.wiinintendo.net/2011/11/29/m ... ks-cheats/

thx very much :D
I guess i will collect them while racing online ^^
NaomiMinette
I'm too lazy to get that many coins, and I can't do that "other" way to unlock everything... I also can't be bothered to play MK7 unless there's a kartparty going on, and Worldwide isn't as fun for me since I can't chat against my opponents...
CNM501
I've already achieved 10 000 Coins and got the Golden Glider, now I just need 10 000 VR to get the Gold Kart and I believe i'm complete. :D
Soaprman
I'm sitting on a little over 5000 so I have all the non-golden parts. Which is enough for me. I'll leave the driving the gaudy blingmobiles to you guys.

And I only generally race Worldwide when a friend or two is around racing too. I will very occasionally go solo though and just hope someone hooks on.
Dieathan
I have the gold wheels from getting a star rank on all the cups but trying to unlock all the parts seems like it would take too long. The 10 coin limit in a single race and the fact that coins collected in Time Trial don't add to your coin total certainly doesn't make things any quicker either.
NaomiMinette
Wait, what? I thought getting coins in general (Time Trial aside; unsure about Coin Battle/Runners) added to your count?
Soaprman
It is kind of crazy how much work is required to unlock everything. I have something like 60-70 hours logged on the game yet there are parts I don't have (golden parts)... I only hit 5000 coins recently.

And yeah, only coins from races count. Time trial and battle don't.
Derekku
We need some of these in MK7 for Blaze~

NaomiMinette
Oh, dear go--*blue shelled*

Also, if you mean me "riding" one, sure :D If you mean targeting me, poot you. I hope you keep falling into pits and keep going out-of-bounds >_>
mm201
The Giant Blue Shell is a docile creature which prefers peacefully following along tracks more than physical confrontation. However, it must NEVER be provoked.

Lest you risk losing ALL your VR, total collected coins, and Community points :P

If that's what it takes to knock you off the track, then so be it.

Worldwide is so easy though :c
NaomiMinette
Which is why I'd rather do Community (at least if I'm able to actually communicate with the people involved in it).
Soaprman
But on worldwide you can spam Maka Wuhu and assert your authority over people with 1000 VR who just got the game this afternoon!
NaomiMinette
...Moving on.

So I'm just gonna go ahead and post this. Though it was unintentional, we've been having kartparties during weekends a majority of the time (which obviously makes more sense than having it during weekdays, but anyway), so... weekly weekend kartparties: yes or no? (This is just so I don't have to keep posting whenever we have one.)

Yes please. (Make sure you have them at times when us europeans can join :( )
CNM501
I would have said yes but school is back for me now and weekdays are a no no :( Though if I do see a Kartparty during the week I wouldn't mind hopping in for a bit if I can. :)
NaomiMinette
I said weekly WEEKEND kartparties XD

Anyway, it depends on the others.

NaomiMinette
Well... I'm available during 3 PM - 2 AM CST (GMT -6) during the weekends, so I'll try to figure something out. (WTB> time converter scheduler)

Anyway, for those that aren't aware yet, PLEASE make sure kartparty is part of your highlights. We also meet up in #videogames during these kartparties.
bomber34
Weekly Kartparties hell yes :D Firdays and Saturdays are best choices :3
The time doesn't really matter there even though it would be nice if it isn't 2 A.M again like last time i was in
I also wish that i could chat while playing and not in those short breaks after a cup ... :(
But i say this all the time so i hope i don't have to say that again.
Btw I think i was a bit whiney the last time (had a bad hair day) ^^ I also hope to change that .
mm201
Weekends are fine. We should set up a Skype call or something.
NaomiMinette
Guess I'll be redownloading Skype then.

EDIT: I have Skype set up (again). How do I connect to you guys? Do I have to add you first?

EDIT2: So it seems like you guys are about 6-7 hours ahead of us in North America... I can work with that, but I need to know when you guys are available.
CNM501
During the week i'm usually available after 4pm my time. Though my 'available' times are constantly changing soo... But generally after 4pm my time I should be fine.
NaomiMinette
Hmm... Unless I'm doing this wrong, it should be just past 1 PM (13:00) for you as of right now, right?
CNM501
^^^ Yes correct.
NaomiMinette
Let's see... so I'd have to play sometime after midnight my time to meet up with you.

Now what about the European players?
bomber34
well usally we play at 1 a.m. when we do kartparties
sometimes 10p.m. too (GMT -1)

so you guys who live at the GMT - 6 zone
we are 7h ahead of each other
NaomiMinette
So basically it's (obviously) either the NA players play late at night and you guys play in the morning/afternoon, or we NA players play during the afternoon and you guys play at night... Which works better for you?
CNM501
Night for me. Mornings maybe if it's 7am my time, though I won't be on osu! though... Mehhh.
NaomiMinette
Sorry, updated my post. Anyway, we'll see what the others say first.

EDIT: So I just finished a Worldwide race... MIRRORED. *did not know this was possible* Hao2trigger? (Is this also possible for Community?)
Shohei Ohtani
I think the whole mirror thing is based on the relative VR of the contestants. For instance, if the majority of people have like, 2000 VR or something, it might bump it up to a higher level, like 150cc, or mirrored or something.

I'm not sure of the exact logistics, but that's how it worked in Mario Kart Wii.
NaomiMinette
I've never really played MKWii over Wi-Fi all that much, so I didn't know. Thanks :)

So... I guess we could have a kartparty around 3 PM CST (GMT -6) or later... I dunno...
Soaprman
Yeah, mirror happens in high VR rooms... I think it alternates between mirror and non mirror.

I should actually be available tomorrow evening past around 6-6:30pm my time... in GMT that'd be 11-11:30pm. Make of that what you like. If I'm around when shit's going down, I'll share the jolly good times.
NaomiMinette
Time zones suck :( Anyway, I can work with whatever.
Bass
From 13th February I am gonna have 2 weeks break from school. Then time when kartparty is on doesn't matter for me.

My estimate was probably early by 2-3 hours. Whatever. I'll be around when I'm around...

It's not like you HAVE to be there (just saying). Honestly, I don't even know when to have one ._.
mm201
I need at least a day's notice if it's going to happen at any time other than the nighttime; 9pm-12pm EST.
NaomiMinette
I have no idea when to hold it during the daytime for us NA people...

This has happened to me too :? When I first saw it it only happened rarely, but now it seems like it happens every other race. o.o

I'm trying to climb up to 9999 VR and it's happened more and more, so perhaps it does happen depending on VR :?
Dieathan
Recently tried the Grand Prix of the Miis I got via StreetPass and discovered that beating the cup earns you a kart part if the Mii you're racing against is using a part you don't have. I'm not sure if this applies to the gold parts as well though.
NaomiMinette
Yeah, I read about that. I doubt it'd apply to the Gold parts, or else I'd probably see just about everyone on Worldwide with less than 10k VR have them.
Rantai
Screw you MK7.

Deny my last 3 star 8 times will you.

mm201
Be a hipster and race with 2 stars. It implies you have the same skill level anyway, just less patience.
NaomiMinette
Stars don't really mean a thing, to be honest. It's just a sense of accomplishment. *lost against so many no-star racers on Worldwide before*

yes ^^ i always try to get 100% in all games i love (osu! isn't possible ...yet)
I love online races :D 5 people spam maka wuhu at least :3

and there seems to be another lakitu glitch to be on this track D:
NaomiMinette
Oh? Do explain.
mm201
If you hit the ground a little bit early at the end of the glider part, you get put on the landing area.
If you land it too late, it's worthless. If you land it too early, you get put back. At best, you only save like half a second.
NaomiMinette
Okay... Don't really get it, but basically it's pointless to do that, right?
Derekku
If you do it right it will save a couple of seconds, but nevertheless it's a fraction of what the bigger glitch does...
bomber34

even though i lost 2 races because of that D:
NaomiMinette
Okay, I need a (GOOD) vid of this glitch... The one I just looked up was horribly explained/shown.
pieguyn
I did it on accident once by landing on the tip of the lower platform and somehow not opening the glider. o.o

Also, I don't even have any stars, because I beat one of the cups without even getting one and was too lazy to go back and get it. I'd rather try and complete my quest for 9999 VR :P
NaomiMinette
K so... I'm still stumped on when to have kartparties during the daytime for the North American people so the rest of you guys can join us, so either you guys tag us or we tag you :?

Other than that, it'll be the usual times--9 PM CST (GMT -6) or later during weekends.
Rantai
12pm.... easy enough.

3 - 4 A.M. not very easy for me :/
But we already had this discussion.
:( Life is unfair sometimes.
But maybe we european should start kartparties ourself. Isn't that good either (would love to play with you all).
It also seems that there aren't so many active europeans in this thread :-/

Well, maybe i will take the challenge to play at 4 A.M with you again Blazevoir :3. But i discovered that i am a little bit aggresive when i am tired xD I also hate the fact that i can't really chat with you while playing, always have to go to my pc when we finished the cup which is a little bit tedious
NaomiMinette
Well... I DID say we could tag you guys, so...
pieguyn
oh, it's at 9 PM? Somehow I missed that >.< I'll try to make the next one.
NaomiMinette
9 PM or later, meaning I don't have a definite time.
rust45
Hey, since we have some people, why don't we start a community match? I've yet to participate in one yet.
NaomiMinette
Waiting on said people now, lol.

Kartparty starting!

Managed to get 7 people in. So much rage~ Anyway, looking forward to the next one :D
Mianki
Kartparty starting when Bass gets home or something. Lurk in #videogames 'till then :P

Starting in 2 hours from now. :P
NaomiMinette
Uuuuuuuuugh... Time zones FTL...
mm201
Funny I was at home at the right time. (Very rare occurrence. Normally I would be at work on a Monday around noon.)
But I didn't check my internet.

Edit: And yes, I'm serious about that "day's notice" thing. I'd have been there with additional warning.
Rantai
Home at last.

You will taunt me no more.
