Has anyone ever emailed Nintendo before? How long do they take to reply? I'd prefer to avoid calling them as much has possible 
Also, do gliders only start unlocking after the karts and wheels all unlock? I'm 700 coins in and I still have yet to get any glider.

There aren't very many gliders to unlock, compared to karts and wheels.
I got the flower glider very early on.

Apparently my router just can't take matches more than 2 people.
Played my second 1v1 match, and honestly, I never knew you could actually fail the start in Waluigi Pinball. I don't know how that guy did it, but he did it. Thrice.

Failing the start in Waluigi Pinball is easy. Getting hit by items aside, just press B! 
Oh, so he was throwing the match then. Explains why the connection stopped before I passed the finish line in the last track.
Hopefully I'll be able to get my 3DS checked and fixed by the next Kartparty, playing 1v1 in community is no fun when the results are lose or get ragequit on

I'm gonna hang out at a friend's house today, but if you guys are karting around the normal time, he and I will probably join you. We just won't be able to chat.
I should be around. Right now I'm just trying to fill up my White 2 Pokédex.

That has got to have been the worst kartparty I've ever been in. Yes, even worse than when my R button was broken. Why was that?
Because instead of being able to focus on racing I had to deal with a certain someone who was desparately trying to apologize to another certain someone who couldn't bring himself to say, "I forgive you." I should actually be receiving part of the blame because it should have been pretty obvious that I was in on the entire thing and let him in anyways. For the record, I am very sorry for the part I personally had in the incident in question. And no, we don't hate you. We just both have a very immature, trollish sense of humor. Neither of us are going to defend ourselves, though, because it was pretty immature of us and a very douchey thing to do.
P.S. Luigi > Koopa.
EDIT: AKA please just forgive him already so I don't have to deal with that shit. I won't let him join again if you don't want him to but I don't want to have to deal with that crap again.

It was just really funny to start this way considering I suck so much at it :V
Either way, did some nice matches and raised that whatever-it-means number to around 1150 in an hour. I guess I'm fine.

I might try playing with my combo and seeing if I can bump my weight class without losing acceleration.
Topic Starter
Combo I used was Lightweight + Blue Seven + Red Monster Wheels + Parasol/Flower Glider.
Anyways, there are plenty of 4.75 accel Lightweight combos. My personal favorite was Soda Jet + Roller Wheels - I should really try that combo again since I always loved that thing - and the more popular one is Bumble V + wooden wheels.

Lightweight standard combo + Parasol for best standard combo.
Topic Starter
Apparently it's Swooper for speed combos and Flower/Peach Parasol for accel combos. Which makes sense, because slower combos need that help doing the glider cuts (which several courses have).
Anyways, I wish somebody told me that you could slow down while drifting just by tapping B before I read about it yesterday. Would've helped me out like a gazillion times. XP

Weird how the gliders have the worst glide ratios of anything in the game.
Sorry about yesterday, I was with friends. I should be there tonight.
Ekaru/whoever else: Want to have an MKDS party this Sunday afternoon?
I've been playing it a bit more lately and feel a tad less rusty. (I still keep missing the perfect starting boost needed to PRB.) The thing is, my right hand gets sore as hell after a few races from gripping the system too hard. I can only do maybe two sets (8 races) at a time.

I took another video yesterday. My MK7 lines look more or less like this when I'm using a combo I am used to:
I'm really bad so stop hitting me with items, meanies.
There's no need to!
...I actually plan on making videos of me doing OK in WWs with jank karts during Spring Break. Shall I post them here for entertainment value?

I'll be late/absent again since I'm going out to dinner. And last night I was sick.
Saying this ahead of time: unless Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon's multiplayer sucks, tomorrow's kartparty may (or may not) be the last one I'll be participating in for a while.
That sucks >_< since I'll be able to attend Friday kartparties again after Easter. I'm getting it too but it's not like I can't play other games.
Honestly, the lack of people is the reason why I said that. I can understand that people are busy with other things, but...

Tempted to just scratch the Friday kartparties for now.
Didn't show up today as I was at a family party. I think we should find out which day works for most people before deciding which one to scrap.
Topic Starter
Sorry I wasn't there last night! Y'see, at 8 PM I turned on my PS3 to play Darkstalkers Resurrection. But, then I got invited into a good Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed room, and then the best player in the world joined, and then I kind of didn't want to leave. ;_; 'Course, now I feel the need to pound people in MK7 to get my self-esteem back up.
Okay. Let's do a couple of polls next week then.rust45 wrote:

I was sick for almost 2 weeks. So there was no way to join you. :/
Or we could replace the Friday parties with MKDS/MKW/game of the week. Saturday is still the best time for me if I remember >__<.

Oooooh, nice idea. That would give us a lot of flexibility on what to do depending on who shows up, and add more variety.mm201 wrote:

"Just a reminder that next Friday we'll be raiding WW as Luigis. Set this as your Mii but pick the "real" Luigi in game. We'll still need to decide on parts. Since this is WW we should be using something better than all Standards.

As said in Skype, next weekend we're raiding WWs with Luigi. With the same Mii. And Combo. Because we're horrible, horrible people.
mm will be posting the Mii's QR code, as said in Skype. We can decide on the combo later.
EDIT: Ninja'd.
Anyways, I'll do some testing tomorrow on parts.

Noteworthy 3.75 accel combos:
Roller: Bruiser/Zucchini/Clown
Wood/Sponge: Train
Slim: Soda Jet
Standard: Bee/Egg/Birthday
Of these, I actually like my regular the best... Train+Wood. Bee+Standard has an extra 0.25 speed however.

I propose that we all pick Train + Wood + Parasol just because seeing Luigi drive in that thing is kind of funny. XD

Or we can do a trial run on Friday and then do a bigger, "real" attempt on Sat.
I tried out Bumble-V, Wood, and Flower and it's working pretty well for me.
Saturday it is.
Alright so we're doing this saturday. I think I'll try out using Luigi on friday if I make it to that party. I think we still need to come to a consensus about what kart setup we are going to use.
Bee/Standard, Jet/Slim, and Train/Wood are all fine with me.
Zucchini/Roller felt feeble to me and was hard to MT in.
I'll give the Bruiser/Roller and Egg/Standard combos a shot on Friday's party or if I get there sooner.

Bee/Standard/Flower and Train/Wood/Flower are tied for the best-looking IMO, but I think Train/Wood/Flower's easier to use. I'll try out some more on the way home.
So it looks like we've settled on using Luigi+Barrel Train+Wood Wheels+Flower Glider for tomorrow's raid.
Everyone needs to make sure to get the Luigi mii that mm posted earlier. Also, I have no idea if I can actually make it tomorrow. But if we have it earlier, I'll be more likely to make it.
I'm too busy to play recently.
I think I can attend some of the weekly parties in next month. Haven't played with you guys yet.
