You should still join if there are less people - it's still very fun if there are 5-7. It's still fun with even less.... it just becomes better with more :)

I won't be around today sadly!

I'd rather play in full online lobbies where I also get to play at 200cc. Cant quite get above 4000 rank though!
 
I really dislike that if you're not in the tournament from the first game you are at a huge disadvantage in terms of points.

Once the first player has played 16 games and can't get any more points the tournament should continue. Then whoever got the most points in their first 16 games within the two hour window wins the tournament.

Those who have already completed their 16 games can stay in to try and stop anyone else gaining enough points to beat them, even though they cannot gain any more points.

Has everyone turned off their automatic steering online?
I don't think anyone actually cares about the torny points. It'll probably show that I beat sandancer yesterday but, as I said in the thread, I know he won really.

I've only tried 200cc once on the GP cup with wii u rainbow road... not sure I'll try that again any time soon :eek:

I'd be surprised if anyone had left that on!
 
I care! :p

200cc is great, and if you play enough online you'll get 200cc lobbies starting to randomly appear.

You can't trick boost off every ramp and UMT everywhere as that will end up with you falling off the track, it's really quite deep.
 
Here's a tip for Mario Kart players who want to keep their first place position: hold onto those coin items! The next item block you pass is more likely to give you a defensive item if you already have a coin.

You mean guaranteed to.

You cannot hold 2 coins at once.

You deffo can - I've had double coins, several times, pinky promise! Pretty sure I have a witness too :p

Maybe the game glitched or I was raging so hard my brain made me think I had double coins..... the latter being a rather concerning assessment :o

Edit - actually I'm pretty sure I whined about getting double coins earlier in the thread!

Edit 2 - or did I?! Maybe I need a lie down... here's where I distinctly remember the double coins...
Good game all but I think I've fatigued myself - I'm getting way too annoyed about the relentless red shells in first place and getting coins. Perhaps I had a particularly unlucky run this evening but on that dragon drift way race I had 12 red shells come at me in first (of which 4 hit) and 2 blue shells - just becomes unfun and feels broken tbh :(

Perhaps I should lighten up - and be less terrible :p

Obviously I'm disturbed at imagining it so I've done a bit of digging and, thankfully for my sanity, other people also claim this has happened. Maybe as a result of lag? There is an image someone posted. Will try and get a screenshot myself next time.

Yes in laggy games you can sometimes get nothing but coins the whole match!

Double item boxes can get double coins too I think, but if you have a coin already and pick up an item it won't be another coin.

In first place never use your coin!
 
Anyone up for a 200cc tournament?

Should be a good option for those who dislike how much influence items have at 150cc.
 
Too fast for me I'm afraid / only played it once - you won't have any fun lapping me every time. Actually, knowing you... :p

Edit - happy to make up the numbers another day though!
