No .3. You just get 3 stars on every single grand prix in the game
Wait, really? I thought the stars were just based on how much you used gyro controls...

Meh... Not that it matters... I can't STAND not having 3 stars on each Grand Prix.

I have a healthy mix of 1-3 star ranks and unplayed Mirror cups.

WHO IS CODY!

Dear "Cody": spamming Maka Wuhu to get useless internet points in a small community is a pretty douchey thing to do. The rest of us prefer racing on an entire track to racing on 2/3 of a track.

Someone should edit the OP to note that we prefer playing without glitching and that glitchers are frowned upon and make great item targets during races.
NaomiMinette
Seriously... Nintendo needs to restrict how often you can spam a track >_> *looks at Cody AKA (possibly) Foggen*

The who is cody game is fun :D
I spam rainbow road because i can :D (until i played it one time ^^)
btw i don't even know what you are talking about? which glitch
because i really don't get it
Soaprman
A way to skip nearly 1/3 of the track by falling off at a certain point and having Lakitu drop you much further into the track. You don't need a mushroom to do it... just need to land within a sweet spot in the water.

Is it alright to vote on Maku Wuhu if we won't actually use the exploit and don't spam it?

In a no-glitch community, yes. On Worldwide... not really.

Can't wait for school to begin again so I can play online properly again! ^_^

If you meet a Konata Mii, that's probably me. I don't pick Maka Wuhu, but if someone else does I usually use the glitch, cause that's why most people pick this course.
btw: Cody is stalking me :U

airship is best!

ty very much :D
I never use glitches, cheats and stuff like that ^^
(only in singelplayer offline after beating the game :D)

I guess Mario Kart 64 had the most glitchy shortcuts.
btw it was really great to play with you <3

We should add "kart" to our highlights so you can say "kart" and people will know what's going on!
NaomiMinette
I'll probably do that for a while unless it gets rapid-spammed, lol.

Anyway, how often are community races?

wouldn't it be smarter if we write Mariokart as higlight so that the danger of spam is more reduced?
Soaprman
Good point... but if we're going to do that, why not make it a specific phrase? I'm going to nominate "kartparty".

Finally 3-starred everything. Had everything but 2 cups on 150cc and but kept getting hit with blue shells at the end of races thus screwing up the chance for a 3-star. :I

Unfortunately, I'll be out-of-state for the rest of the week, but perhaps I can finally join a kartparty when I get back!
RemmyX25
I've joined the osu! community but i'm not giving my friend code just yet. :|

Just give me a shout on IRC by highlight or PM (look for Remmy, I'm rarely on osu! client anymore) if we get a bunch of racers together
NaomiMinette
Lulz, oddest thing just happened:

Final lap on Waluigi Pinball -> I was in first for a while -> I get hit with a Blue Shell right before the finish line -> 2nd passes me -> they get hit by their own Green Shell -> I retake and finish in 1st

Do you get anything for getting 3-stars everywhere? Before i waste my time (cause 150 cup is only 1star on all cups) i better ask someone^^

Edit: kartparty sounds nice :D
Soaprman
You get three stars by your name in online races. And if you're a completionist, the satisfaction of knowing you'll never have to touch GP mode again.
mm201
1 star everywhere earns you the Gold Wheels. I don't think 3 stars does anything differently besides giving you 3 stars next to your name in matches.

I got the game for Christmas and have already gotten 3 stars on everything. (Had to replay a bunch of cups because of blue shells over glider sections, yadda, yadda.) I want to TT each course and find all the legit glider shortcuts before heading to online but I'll add you and maybe drop in on some matches.

I'll get my FC when I'm not at work and it's safe to pull out my 3DS. Look for a sexy mii in green called Greg.

Sounds like GP is something bad xD One thing that disappoints me is you only unlock characters in 150 cc.
Also i would like to ask. Favourite tracks /new and retro ^^

and btw
Why is there no mission mode like in Mario Kart DS ? sure the missions were easy but still ):

and bbtw thx for the information
Soaprman
Favorite new track: Music Park. The piano/xylophone curves do it for me. Toad Circuit is a close second.

Favorite retro track: Maple Treeway. That I play Wiggler has nothing to do with this choice... it's a great track with lots of fun turns and jumps.
Derekku
Yeah, I wish there had been more unlockables.

Also, I was hoping that the three-section races had had another lap around in higher cc races, but due to maka wuhu I'm glad that they don't...
bomber34
In case i didn't post my fav. tracks yet.

New: DK Jungle, can't help myself but since i enjoyed DKC:R so much I had to love this one. I love the song and theme, also this glider (shortcut?) before the golden banana temple is awesome :D i always try to land on the edge of each turbo to fly farther. Even though you can easily be an asshole at the last curve with blue/red shells.

Retro: SNES Rainbow Road : I guess most people can figure that out since i always spam this track sry, music,diff. and the 2 legit shortcuts are awesome. Sometime ago i played this on my SNES again ... don't play in dark rooms ...

Btw i tried the glitch and i feel dirty now. My record is 1:20:312 now ... which sucks because people can eventually see my ghost on time trial.
:/ Maybe Nintendo should take more time in developing games, i mean Retro Studios had to help with the Retro courses so they could sell it before christmas. i can understand this all but still ...
jjrocks
Oh! Favorite tracks?

New: Rainbow Road it's crazy but so much fun. Music Park has slowly grown on me too

Retro: Mushroom Gorge. Let me say this, I hate hated HAAAATED Mushroom Gorge for the Wii but somehow, it's one of my favorite courses in this game. I think it's possibly due to the control scheme, it works so well

Waluigi Pinball. How can you not love this one <3
NaomiMinette
New: I think it's called Rock Rock Mountain; <3 hang gliding
Retro: Waluigi Pinball; for some reason I love casino/pinball tracks (this also includes the one on Sonic & SEGA All-Star Racing)

And yeah, I missed Mission Mode... I also hate the fact that they took out single player VS... I wanna race on the tracks I want without having to go online, doing a GP, or doing Time Trial ._.
Rantai
Maple Treeway is the best retro in MK7 :3

Not sure I like or hate any of the new ones just yet though.

And just to put it out there Rainbow Road Wii is the best course for all the games imo.
NaomiMinette
YES! Someone else who loves Wii's Rainbow Road :D

P.S. I LOVE its music over the other Rainbow Roads. Orchestra/Symphony music ftw!
mm201
Wii's RR has awesome music. I want another RR with loops, like MKDS's.
I like Music Park because it has piano keyboards which is just awesome. That ending drum shortcut is a pain. I keep ending up in the grass. ;/

PS. Add me: 0645 5976 3384
NaomiMinette
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?
mm201
Rail ride SC or do you mean flying off the track?
NaomiMinette
Rail ride SC? Anyway, I meant hitting opponents during the loops and they fall out.
mm201
Oh hurr, that's so annoying! And easier to do in the second loop for some reason.
Anyway, the rail ride allows you to skip the first loop. You time a shroom just right and you land on the right rail and fall into it, then you can hop to the far side of the loop.
There are also 2 Lakitu abuse glitches if you can hit the posts holding up parts of the track.
NaomiMinette
What? I almost always pull off knocking opponents off on the first loop but hardly ever the second...

Anyway, I've never done that shortcut much less heard about it till now.
mm201
I reached an extremely high skill level in MKDS at one point. Back when nSider was still around. Good times.
NaomiMinette
I miss being able to snake now, but that just made people ragequit more.

...Eh, what can you do.
