Really sorry for those that wanted it earlier, btw. (I would've made an announcement for one at an earlier time, but I wasn't in the mood to play.)

Also, after tomorrow I probably won't be making anymore "scheduled" kartparty announcements, so yeah (and for the record, I only did them since usually no one else makes the announcements).

So apparently they didn't remove all the exploits yet... The 2nd one for Maka Wuhu's still available (just harder to do now)...

And DK Jungle.
I guess they deemed them too minor or something? Or aren't keeping up to date.

Toad Circuit is no longer safe. It may not have pits (unless you get knocked off the glider path and onto the bridge), but item spam FTW!

P.S. Figuring out GMT times from the USA, especially Daylight Savings Time times, sucks :o

But you don't get to experience the joy of accidentally drafting during the u-turn section or being pushed out of alignment and falling to your doom! ...Actually, I'd never fallen off on that course before today, but I kept on falling off on it today, so I picked that course again solely out of spite because I'm an ass. <3

Neo Bowser City is this rainy track, isn't it?
Why the hell does the german version call it Koopa Metropolis Fever? ^^ It gets really confusing if you talk about a track which i never really heard before.

Because they could. :D

Oh, and in case you were wondering, we played on the track four times in a row. It was... interesting.

What do you mean exactly? Because we had 2 kartparties yesterday ... the first one where i participated there was this bowser guy who spammed it and got it all the time .... I was a bit pissed, because I am not a big fan of this track.
I don't know how many times in a row we got this track, but really... it was to much

I'm referring to the 9 PM one yesterday. What happened to you makes it even funnier, though. XD

Oh crap... I didn't realize Nintendo put up their own community as well as a competition...

More info on Club Nintendo's homepage, though it's most likely too late to try to get 1st-3rd...

Oh, and hitting mm with a red shell whenever he got ahead of me on Mario Circuit. Did that 3 times in the same race. That was fun until he got his revenge. :(

Anyone who wants a "Marred to: Toad Circuit" sig image, tell me (maybe via PM to not clog up the thread? I know demand will be hot). If you have a specific color request, mention that too!

Do not get me started on Toad Circuit. It's not my least favorite course - that honor is a tie between Kalamari Desert and Cheep Cheep Lagoon - but I still don't like the craziness of it. ><;

I wish everyone who plays MK7 could join us ;~; (And yeah, my bad x.x)

Anyway, despite how "safe" Toad Circuit looks, expect tons of item rape compared to other tracks... seriously! :o

Toad Circuit is a well designed track (imo) that has those last two shortcuts to make it's normality not boring. I think it's a fine track.

After the first stretch I realize I had gyro turned off. So I played in first person without drifting to compensate. 'Course, I was using a 5.5 accel/5.5 handling combo so it didn't hurt me too much. >_>

The only "cheating" I can think of while using gyro would be using the stick to steer, because you can still do that. Maybe the players who get golden wheels do it by keeping their hands steady and playing normally...

Actually, the game was showing me with the wheel icon at the end of the race, even though I had gyro turned off in the Options menu. Hence, as I've told Blaze a billion times, I was not using gyro so I had to handicap myself.

Well ... I would like to start a kartparty with a more european friendly time ._.
Friday 6th July 11 p.m. (GMT + 1) which seems to be 4p.m. (GMT - 6)
I have no problem to stay up until 2 a.m (GMT+1) if you guys have a problem with that time.

Well, I found that if I twist my monitor around and sit on the landing of the stairs then I can see the chat, at least. It's such a... weird... set-up though.

But yeah, someone get me the correct time for sure and I should be there.

Okay, so time zones officially suck. Apparently DST doesn't take away an hour when converting timezones. The time for the kartparty according to bomber was supposedly 4 PM CDT, but he said we can have it at 5 PM CDT.

Ah whatever... It's still pretty much the same schedule anyway.

I don't check the forums very often.. I just happened to be browsing this thread when I saw you guys were playing so I hopped on.

I'll see if I can be more pro-active with keeping up with this stuff in the future.

Also I'll have to play with a stat calculator to find an optimal kart combo..

If you want a good setup, some stats are more important than others. Mainly, look at acceleration. High acceleration has two big things on its side:

  1. It allows faster recovery from being hit by items or falling off the track or whatever. High max speed is kind of useless since your speed is being knocked down to zero so often.
  2. At the start of the race, it makes it more likely that you can pull ahead and grab the coins, increasing your speed and allowing you to widen the gap. High acceleration karts are the karts most likely to experience "time trials" in online races.
Each character weight class also gives its own small bonuses... there's a chart with all this stuff on GAMEFAQs.

I use Wiggler because it's my favorite character of the lot, and I make it work by choosing a kart and wheels (Bumble-V and Roller) that have extreme acceleration to offset the poor numbers Wiggler would have in those stats otherwise.

I actually think it would be good if in a future kart game they did away with character weight classes and keep the customization to the karts. It would remove pressure to pick characters just because they're better than others.

Basically Soap tries to balance "effective racing" with "being a douche who can knock you off the track." :P

I use Train because of its max acceleration, extremely tight handling, and long MT stat. I use wood instead of roller for their better offroad, plus my use of a featherweight character and Paraglider means I get the highest possible acceleration anyway.

You can use a time trial kart combination, but it's a gamble that you can get to first place, hold it, and hope not many blue shells come along. Time trial karts use one of the top speed frames (usually BDasher, but sometimes Zucchini, Blue 7, and Bruiser) with either slick, red, mushroom, or gold wheels. Slick/gold have the best speed, slicks have better handling/MTs, gold have slightly better offroad/underwater, reds are best offroad (which includes snowy/rainy tracks), and mushrooms have better handling.

Woods are like mini reds, rollers are like mini mushrooms, sponges are like mini slicks.
