The more coins you have, the higher your top speed is. But that's still stupid.What purpose do coins serve though? In the grand scheme of things, how could they be justified as a good addition?

I'm pretty sure we have enough on the track though, personally, I think it is just like @RESHIRAM5 says. It's a dud item that just serves to wreck a bit of havoc or ruin races.The more coins you have, the higher your top speed is. But that's still stupid.
I'm not disputing that coins are useful as pick-up items but as an actual power-up it's just confusing, it's not like you even get a bulk of coins, you get one single coin and completely obliterate your defense until the next item 'checkpoint'.Coins are actually important in Time Trials. It adds a twist as you have to plan a path that gets you 10 coins the earliest without ruining your lap.
I was actually speaking more from experience in VS Mode. Against Hard AI, I think Frantic items make for a better race. You said you didn't care for randomness, but it's worth a try.@Wolfe: I never have been able to participate in Frantic mode race. I wish I could but there is never anyone there.
Nice one man! I've not really had time for games recently because of bloody University coursework/exams. I have been dying to play some Mario Kart recently though, so hopefully I could catch you for a few games soon.Finally broke 12,000 VR last night. I'm proud.
This game is great. That is all.
That's right on the nose, I think.I kinda wish there was more to do. Kinda like Pokemon Gen VI, if you aren't the guy who gets competitive online, you're out of luck with post-game.
The problem is(that we all know) Nintendo won't bother altering the core formula by the looks of it. They occasionally add some nice things, like a mission mode, then snatch it back off of us in the following title! There's so much that could be done in MK but Nintendo seem content with keeping it as focused on it's main purpose as possible. I'd love a track creator too.I would wish Hop Lapping was an option and you got a Mushroom every lap. 3 Lap System just doesn't work well but it's the best we got. Fire Hopping like the Smogonites in Pokemon pretty much ruins me getting competitive online, anyway (though since we can now change Highlight Reels to full laps when we watch them, we could spot Fire Hoppers).
GRID Autosport is currently holding all my time as well as WWE 2K14 which has been lasting since I got it last year.
If the game had VS like in TOCA Race Driver 3 where you can customize the A.I how you like it by choosing how many race, who races and what vehicle they use. It would get me a bit more invested but something that would improve a lot is if they had a Course Maker like in LBP Karting.
I always get bored after 10 races online. Now I'm devoting most of my time to time trials. I'm trying to get 2:04 on Rainbow Road, 1:48 on Dragon Driftway, 1:58 on Electrodome, and 1:37 on Mario Kart Stadium.
Today was productive! 32 Race tournament on Hard 150cc. It was great fun.
