This game is perfect for empty-headed dunces that don't like to think much!! Of course, I'm a genius... I wonder why I'm so good at it?!
I like the cart that is a horse that has a bobbing head as you drive

it's probs the best mario kart since 64, or at least the one i've enjoyed the most since then. i did not like double dash, but mario kart ds was pretty great

No I dont think so I think I was using it at my buddys house before the dlc came out

It was cool and I dont know if it had good stats but it was more important to me to look good riding even if I lost

Getting hit by things and just stopping sucks but other than that, it's a fairly win game OP.

The only vid I have is of Rainbow road time trial which has sick music, which I recorded before I learned about fire hopping because I wanted to see the upload thing in action, and Bowser is awesome.

Same but red shells, blue shells, and the pirahna plant as well. If there was a mode with just green shells and mushrooms I would probably be happier.

red shells are cool cuz you can use other items to defend

in versus race mode you can change what items appear, but its all preset catagories like "shells" and "mushrooms" instead of a smash bros style item switch screen.... a real missed opportunity

actually getting the horn and using it to deflect the blue shell is pretty rare but feels so drat good

:agreed:, except i liked double dash

ds one was great because the netcode was actually good + it was portable. i think the ds servers are down now otherwise i'd still jump online with it every once in a while, definitely the best of the no-frills kart games.

Yeah, the DS and Wii online servers went offline with the shutdown of Gamespy. It's a shame, because The Last Story had an excellent online multiplayer mode as well.


On that note, I find that goons aren't the most coordinated when it comes to online play, and playing against people you don't know is more or less like playing against the world's most advanced AI. It kind of makes my Mario Kart experience a little bit less than enjoyable.

does anyone know what the h*ck the + button does after you finish a race...? it adds 1 to a counter out of 6 in the top right.... but i have no idea what that is supposed to mean!

im not sure if they were being "run" by gamespy but the nintendo wi-fi connection made use of gamespy's servers. so any game for the wii or original ds that used that service dont work anymore, including mario kart.

Babies are awesome. I'd rather play as one of them than a big lipped jungle ape.
