Whoever is the dumbass executive that suggested Ice World over any of the other tracks deserves the largest amount of bad luck.
Frappe Snowland was right there if you wanted a snow level at night.
>Frappe Snowland was right there
Rosalina's Shitland at least has pits and some decent turns. Frappe doesn't have shit especially after they nerfed the snowmen.
>Whoever is the dumbass executive that suggested Ice World over any of the other tracks deserves the largest amount of bad luck.
why does everyone hate this stage so much? nobody i've asked has managed to give an actual answer
did some homosexual youtuber like vinesauce say he hates the track?
i see literally nothing wrong with it other than being a boring ice stage

Idea for next Mario Kart that's not turning it into Nintendo Kart: Every character has a unique ability. For example
>Mario gets 1.5x speed on Mushrooms >Luigi gets 1.5x duration on Mushrooms >Peach gets pulled 3x faster by Lakitu >Daisy only loses 1 coin if pulled by Lakitu instead of 3 >DK gets his Giant Banana special from MK:DD as a replacement for triple bananas >Toad gets much more distance/air time out of jumps, to the point where he can stay airborn for almost a whole second if jumping in a straight line >Toadette can turn much faster in the air allowing her to make insanely precise turns >Wario recovers from item damage 20% faster than normal >Waluigi's items stun victims (including himself if he hits himself with an item) for 1.25x longer than normal
>Mario and Luigi have an ability that can get outright negated depending on distance from 1st >Peach only benefits shit players >DK gets a better item >Toad is objectively worse than all racers who stick to the ground and maintain speed >Wario makes other heavy characters worse
Did you actually think this was a good idea?
Mario Kart is already plagued with character meta autism, and you want to make it even worse? The ideal future of the series is to do what CTR Nitro Fueled did by making characters/vehicles entirely cosmetic without affecting stats.
At high level play, hopping is integral to playing the game. There are some shortcuts that you'd be able to take just by hopping. The opening grass shortcut on Toad's Harbor, for example, would be insanely easy to do with a drift hop if your hop covered more air time. That means you could cut a lot of corners that you otherwise
It is very track design dependent, I'll admit, but it's not as useless as you'd think. Shromless shortcuts are the most fun shortcuts in Mario Kart. That final shroomless shortcut on Yoshi Valley is pure soul.
>There are some shortcuts that you'd be able to take just by hopping.
The air time doesn't really mean much when faster characters aren't even affected.

Oh they're affected. You need to have the right stats and size to clear that jump with only one hop in the grass. Being able to jump across it without slowing down at all would shave a second or two off your time by the end of 3 laps.
And what if there's a giant banana in front of the shortcuts?
DK could straight up fuck whoever is behind him over by blocking the entire road in Double Dash. The roads got much larger from MKWii onwards to accommodate more racers so the DK banana strategy wouldn't be as strong as in Double Dash.

>The roads got much larger from MKWii onwards to accommodate more racers
But shortcuts were also made significantly more predictable. Outside of the few courses where Lakitu lightens up, DK would be able to shut down most cuts.

Even if the giant banana was permanent, DK could only block one shortcut starting on Lap 2. That means that as long as you're ahead of him, you only miss out on one shortcut.
Bagging still exists and still works, it's just based on the player's distance from the item box so players are testing how far you need to be
In webm related the distance isn't far at all and the slight extra time is more than made up for with the items
Pretty sure the bagging changes just mean that you can't camp the same set of items for more than 2 items. After that, it starts giving you bad items until you move on. That seems to be all that has changed.
If nobody makes a thread tomorrow I likely will (PM EST, maybe earlier)
Probably just gonna do lobby codes for the future but I'll use the old OP and naming just for ease of finding
Depending on what place you're in, you can still get single shrooms when you're really far from first. I think they changed the balance of items a little bit during DLC4 or 5 and I think that's a bit more common now.
Are the CPUs set to double cunt on these last two cups in 200cc or something? After several tries, I got first in Rome and then held first the entire race on DK Mountain before succumbing to the ninth red shell right by the bridge because I got literally nothing but coins.
>get coin >keep it, guaranteed defensive item next >also Boo will always take the coin
the game has been out way too long for you to not know this shit
>get coin >keep it, guaranteed defensive item next >also Boo will always take the coin

I love Pauline bros. They made her so cool. The singing pose is one of the best stunts in the game and her song lines are such a nice detail. Pure SOUL
I create a lobby and then after roughly 60 seconds it closes and pops up "A communication error has occurred." So this is the power of Switch + ethernet adapter
My global rank is high enough that I only get 150-200cc matchmaking. The absolute hell that is mushrooms spawn. This game needs to rollback the item box changes, I am sick of golden mushrooms. I literally get them back to back from the upper 10 positions to the 1-6 positions, I'm actually peeveed to just ignore item boxes at this point.
why do tour tracks always have to have that spaghetti ass layout with giant arrows telling you wear to go because they're so poorly thought out
just make normal tracks you fucks
I hate them but by far my biggest issue is when they start ruining older tracks by shoehorning that route gimmick in. I want 3 laps of the actual track from the original game, not a shitty Tour-ified version that makes you race backwards on Lap 3 again like it's the most creative novel idea to have ever existed.
I waited to play the entire booster course until it was all released, and man, I'm pretty mixed on it. The new characters are great additions and it was criminal for some of them that they weren't already in. There's some great track additions like DK Mountain, Rainbow Road Wii, Bowser Castle 3, Yoshi's Island, Maple Treeway, Mushroom Gorge, and Peach Gardens. Also the death of both WaluWiggler meta and item bagging are enough together to outweigh the bad tracks being added to rotation.
But man, some of these tracks are awful. All of the bland-at-best city tracks that blend together and rely on giant glowing arrows to tell you where to go, nothing retro tracks like Mario Circuit 3 and Toad Circuit, stages like Coconut Mall and Choco Mountain being straight downgrades from their original forms, and the absolute butchering of Kalimari Desert. And some of them are downright ugly too. If it weren't for the balance changes I'd consider the addition of all the dogshit to rotation a net negative to the quality of the game
This makes me wonder if what courses I like might be influenced due to solely using bikes and such every turn is engaged with differently compared to Karts
Now that the dust has settled, what are your final thoughts on MK8's race courses?

Idea for next Mario Kart that's not turning it into Nintendo Kart: Every character has a unique ability. For example
>Mario gets 1.5x speed on Mushrooms
>Luigi gets 1.5x duration on Mushrooms
>Peach gets pulled 3x faster by Lakitu
>Daisy only loses 1 coin if pulled by Lakitu instead of 3
>DK gets his Giant Banana special from MK:DD as a replacement for triple bananas
>Toad gets much more distance/air time out of jumps, to the point where he can stay airborn for almost a whole second if jumping in a straight line
>Toadette can turn much faster in the air allowing her to make insanely precise turns
>Wario recovers from item damage 20% faster than normal
>Waluigi's items stun victims (including himself if he hits himself with an item) for 1.25x longer than normal
And on and on.
no
good idea but that's not a gimmick or feature you can base a game around, those are just ordinary game abilities
>Mario and Luigi have an ability that can get outright negated depending on distance from 1st
>Peach only benefits shit players
>DK gets a better item
>Toad is objectively worse than all racers who stick to the ground and maintain speed
>Wario makes other heavy characters worse
Did you actually think this was a good idea?
>Mario and Luigi need to do something other than frontrunning
Is that a bad thing?
this is a terrible idea, because you KNOW they won't be balanced
Mario Kart is already plagued with character meta autism, and you want to make it even worse? The ideal future of the series is to do what CTR Nitro Fueled did by making characters/vehicles entirely cosmetic without affecting stats.
>some characters get situational passives
>DK gets a permanent item upgrade
How the fuck is that balanced?
Triple bananas are one of the best items in the game and appear most often around 7th - 4th place.
Yeah, but how is that not busted? DK gets to have what is basically a double use triple while Toad stays in the air longer.
At high level play, hopping is integral to playing the game. There are some shortcuts that you'd be able to take just by hopping. The opening grass shortcut on Toad's Harbor, for example, would be insanely easy to do with a drift hop if your hop covered more air time. That means you could cut a lot of corners that you otherwise
It is very track design dependent, I'll admit, but it's not as useless as you'd think. Shromless shortcuts are the most fun shortcuts in Mario Kart. That final shroomless shortcut on Yoshi Valley is pure soul.

Alright after 10 years, my final ranking of MK8 tracks
I will never understand why some people love DK Sumshit.

Big Blue and Wild Woods should swap places. Cheese Land and Ribbon Road are too high, and Donut Plains 3 and Yoshi's Island are too low.
Dropped mushrooms might as well be traps on 200cc
i love rosa
Would you love her if her hair was pushed off her face?
YES I LOVE ROSE
Based Rosalina enjoyer
If the new character’s models are mostly ported over from Tour, then I wonder how the heck they managed to mess up Pauline’s shoes.
I'll let you in on a secret, the model qualities in Tour are the same as MK8. Tour just looks worse due to the lighting.
That just makes it weirder still. Pauline’s Tour model has her usual strapped pump heels, but her model in 8 has her with strapless heels.
peachette's voice is pure sexo
speaking of peachette does she still have the "just like a princess" line
I expected to dislike Madrid as much as most other city tracks but I think it's actually pretty damn good, I dunno why people rate it so poorly.
Why do mushrooms have a near 200% item box spawn rate now? This is awful, hotfix patch when???? I hate the mushrooms.

Is it me or mushrooms are way too common?
I need a Star or a bullet bill and they drop a single mushroom wtf
It is to disincentive hanging out on an item box.
Damn, even if you are not bagging? Because I got fucked a couple of times and only got shrooms
Depending on what place you're in, you can still get single shrooms when you're really far from first. I think they changed the balance of items a little bit during DLC4 or 5 and I think that's a bit more common now.
This has been a consistent problem since the original MK8 on the Woi U
item distribution is just shit and you're in last place constantly getting mushrooms.
That's because MK8 uses a different item system then all previous MKs
What you're describing has been a thing since vanilla
Are the CPUs set to double cunt on these last two cups in 200cc or something? After several tries, I got first in Rome and then held first the entire race on DK Mountain before succumbing to the ninth red shell right by the bridge because I got literally nothing but coins.
hold your coins dumbass, you can't get a second coin if you're already carrying one
Hey. Thanks.
Cunts.
Didn't know this. Good looking out.

I think I will make a new lobby. if there's at least 3 of you playing I'll keep it open for a few hours. will post code shortly
I know it's not viable now because of how much stage bloat there is but I liked the All Cup tour.
I create a lobby and then after roughly 60 seconds it closes and pops up "A communication error has occurred." So this is the power of Switch + ethernet adapter
How are people with modded switches connecting with each other?
you homosexuals are fucking useless, somebody make a fucking room already.
you host it then the lobbies I make instantly die (ethernet, no issues in smash bros surprisingly)
> That Peachette bike outfit ass
Damn I wasn't ready for this
Don’t even think there are any anons up to play that would make it worth opening a lobby anyway

MK8's item system is not based on race positions but distance and has been since vanilla
But yea the item changes in 8 aren't the best

why's it not on the usual sites yet
it is on nsw2u, ziperto and on a lot of trackers
just read the thread here bro
so do ATVs actually control differently from karts or is that just a myth?
