Re: MarioKart

Mario Kart Wii is such an awesome game, and so fun online. Problem the items are so bull**** that it takes no skill to win (which I guess is okay since new players won't be so afraid of online, but still)

Items have both positive and negative effects on gameplay, but I doubt it would be as fun without them.

The retardedly overcompensating rubber band mechanic bothers me far more than items.

edit: of course, the rubber banding affects items, so that's part of the problem right there.

Which is why this game is complete garbage.

Re: MarioKart

Blue shells are the only thing the leading player really has to worry about, because all the other big items hit everyone else but the user as well (Pow, lightning). The items are the only manifestation of this rubber-band effect. If you use a bike, do wheelies, mini boost, and corner well, you can blow newbs out of the water, even with a blue shell or two. That is unless you're on Luigi Circuit, that track is garbage online and I'd agree there.

Nope. Position also affects top speed. You can try it in any MK, but N64 Rainbow Road shows it best. Using the shortcut to cut out 40% of the level results in the other players suddenly obtaining absurd speeds.

Pretty much, that and Yoshi Falls. I don't mind the items, it's what makes Mario Kart the game it is. Only one I dislike is Bullet Bill, incredible speed, autopilot, smacks everyone in the way, yea pretty cheap.

Re: MarioKart

This thread needs moar MK64, the sole reason as to why I don't have a working controller for my N64 anymore.

Re: MarioKart

This is really superb game and I like all the things which are in the game. It is just amazing and outstanding. Everything is perfect in the game the main thing is that it is really very well designed and I really like the graphics of this game.
