I think it is because they both debut (aside from Daisy appearing in SML) in Mario Tennis so Peach and Wario could have Tennis Partners.
 
Smart thinking. I wish there was a little under-lying story that were in the MK games, might explain why Bowser gives up his conquest for Peach to run a few laps with his mortal enemies.
 
I think they hid the rival system rather well, as it turns out on Super Mario Wiki they think is all like Mario Kart Wii because...

1. They keep testing in VS (which rival system is different to GP)
2. They see different racers up top sometimes (which is because if a rival does bad it'll get replaced).
3. They think GP rivals are random in general (which the 3rd rival is always random).

The rival system is more noticeable in 50cc.


Anyway, I'm thinking why Yoshis rivals are Toad and DK :confused:.

Interesting! Is anyone going to be online tonight, and do we have a tournament that lasts the whole week? Like from 11 AM to 11 PM every day for example. I'd love to have championship races with you guys, because I'm not going to be free on Saturday's more than likely.
 
Unless if you count the TT Challenges then I'm not sure if there is any MK8 Championship we have.

Anyway, this weeks TT deadline ends in 4 Hours.
 
I think getting such a small group together is a mega-pain.:indiff: It would be fine if we had like 30 people because then 12 would always be available:banghead:
 
That's true. I see tournaments like Cobanermani456 get between 700-1000 people everyday. I'm at a loss as to what to do about it.
 
The time-trial seems the most logical solution right now, don't get me wrong, it isn't as fun as normal multiplayer and can get boring because let's face it...as much as we hate the items, they do make the game!
 
True, but it is nice knowing that I'm not going to get slaughtered by multiple items at once, which can get very frustrating at times.
 
I haven't had the time to play the game lately. I had obligations the past two Saturdays, although I showed up for the first week and no one was online.
 
I wasn't able to get on that 1st week. I think that fact that not only are there so few of us, but we are so far apart that it also hurts us. I mean just the four of us (Me, @Wolfe @RESHIRAM5 and @Classic ) are on 3 different continents alone, that's huge. Also the fact @RESHIRAM5 can't get his game to work online is restricting what he can do. (I wish there was a way I could solve that for you.) There's just so much stuff working against us, its ridiculous! :grumpy:

I never hated the items but you are correct, we are pretty restricted to TT which while fun and competitive can't compete with normal online racing.

I really wish there was a way my technicolor (also called thompson) could work. I hear MarioPartyTV is having a tournament soon and I really want to join them.
 
Hopefully I'll be able to start playing some more and doing time trials soon. My summer break starts Thursday. :D
 
I can't really do that because it is my parents router.

I tallied the results (only 2 participated) and got the next challenge but I'll post it later.

Will have a go at this tonight. 👍

Going to start submitting my times right before the deadline too, no point in submitting early after all. :)
 
Gonna have a blast at this now before heading out to the cinema, also been playing a truck load of Pokemon(alongside the World Cup) so I've had my Mario Kart time cut right down!
 
Has anyone ever got to beat my Mario Stadium time because I just set a faster one.
 
It annoys me how there is already a surefire set-up to get the best time trials(at the top of the leaderboards, I mean). I know Nintendo don't care too much about balancing, but it would be nice to try and put in something to stop that happening. There needs to be a metagame. :p
 
Eh... I was using Roy in the 3rd best weight class for TT but it is a problem and it is the reason why I do character bonuses in TT Challenges.

I personally reckon they should have done what the did in MK7 and have the Lighter Characters be faster underwater or even at Anti-Gravity.

I never liked metagames at all, even in Pokemon as it usually requires exploiting (Like in Pokemon it has IV Breeding etc) and the people in it are way to serious not to mention being in them are boring as you'll eventually see the same things over and over...

Also as it turns out, the game has hidden stats (like in MK7)

Speed (Air)
Speed (Water)
Speed (Anti-Gravity)
Handling (Air)
Handling (Water)
Handling (Anti-Gravity)
Mini-Turbo

I do wish they brought back the item stat from DS however. It would excuse the terrible vehicle combinations if they got to use good items more frequently while the better vehicles get stuck with all the bad items.
