Classic
Tighter tracks would require a bit more technical skill, so theoretically the light-weights would stand a better chance at the front of the pack. At the end of the day, what we are all saying are just theoretical assumptions but it is great that discussion is still rife for a game nearly a year old. :D

I was mainly talking about the start of the race where lighter characters would get bumped around in the first few seconds unless they started 1st with a perfect boost.

Ture :lol:
 



This just keeps getting better and better. That ridiculous shortcut. :lol:


Also, the effort in the music still amazes me.
 
Looks like Handling and Grip are going to be very important on harder tracks, I imagine Dragon Brakeway to be very difficult.

@Wolfe New Challenger has approached :p

ATVs FTW :D

Well it looks like GCN Baby Park is confirmed. The other two mystery vehicles are revealed at the end as well. :drool:



Edit: Found the rest of the tracks as well, but I won't post it unless you guys want me to.

That new Bike shown at the end is amazing :D. I hope its an inside drifting bike.

I'm actually happy Baby Park is back, it was one of my favorites from MKDD though I'm disappointed that there is guard rails so the Shells can't go bonkers like in the good ol' days. I do hope it is 7 Laps however. 5 Laps was too short on the DS

@Doodle I'm interested to see more, though to prevent spoilers for other people, PM would be better if you can show me ;).
 
I kinda wished there was a Pokemon themed track... but oh well :P.

I reckon a Pokemon themed track would've been better than an Animal Crossing one IMO.
 
Loving the new DLC. I need to get my butt back on MK8.
 
My only problem is with the choice of Animal Crossing content though don't take my opinion seriously, it is kinda biased because I have no interest in the Franchise...

Only one of the 8 new tracks is animal crossing themed, and you don't have to play as isabelle or villager :p

Though I'm going to be 🤬 when they're my rivals for a race. Especially when I can-t stand Isabelles voice :lol:
 
That's just an extra incentive to blast her off the track. She's not gonna pop up all that often anyway, considering the sheer number of characters in the game. Even when she is in a race, you might not even be fighting her for position :p
 
I love the new pack, Big Blue is an astounding choice. Ribbon Road is also a great circuit selection and it looks absolutely beautiful too.
 
Definately gonna be time trialing Big Blue. I feel like if I go for it enough during the early stages I can put my name in the top 10 :D
 
Watched some footage of Big Blue at 200cc on Youtube and holy crap. Literally, THIS WEEK we get to do that very thing.

Also, I imagine everyone has already taken care of it, but on a Eurogamer video the reviewer who got to play 200cc GP mode says it is only avaliable to those who have gold cups in every other CC + mirror mode.
 
The P-Wing kart looks really cool, I know what kart i'll be using.

Anyone get a Ridge Racer vibe from this?

Very much so, also slight 2015 NSX undertones from the front too. :D

That is a hot kart. If you can call it a kart. Maybe I'll switch to this if the stats are agreeable.

dat carbon fiber tho

According to Super Mario Wiki, it has the same Stats as the B Dasher, Circuit Special, Coupe and Mach 8.

The Bone ATV, looks so bad:censored:, I'm fairly comfortable in an ATV so I think I can suit it in just fine (even if it did have bad stats I'd still use it anyway :p). Though I'm not convinced its and ATV, looks more like a Tricycle :p. It's only confirmed to have stats similar to the ATV but a bit less Weight and Grip.

To me, the most important in a race is probably Acceleration followed by Grip (for Karts and ATVs) than a tie between Speed and Handling. Weight and Grip (for Bikes) easily at the bottom :lol: Though I'm disappointed with the lack of water tracks in both DLCs makes all the vehicles that specialize in Water be downgraded with the lack of tracks,

Seems like there is now a new Weight Class created along with the other 7 (not counting Cat Peach since she is on her own).'

So we have:

Super Light: Babies and Lemmy
Light: Toad, Koopa, Toadette, Shy Guy, Toadette, Larry, Wendy, Lakitu and Isabelle
Medium: Yoshi, Peach and Daisy
Cruiser: Mario, Luigi, Ludwig, Iggy
Heavy: Waluigi, DK, Rosalina, Roy
Metal: Metal Mario and Pink Gold Peach
Super Heavy: Bowser, Wario and Uncle Morty

????: Tanooki Mario and Villager
 
Kinda impossible for me to beat a fire hopper unless if I tried it myself but I don't like to exploit mechanics :indiff:
