Mario Kart Wii Update

The new Rainbow Road track is freaking Brutal.

I agree. It's horrible. xD

The new Rainbow Road track is freaking Brutal.

Of course maybe it's just me, but that track massacres me.

Though I did almost beat a Japanese guy earlier. ^_^

I hate hate hate Rainbow road xD it's horrible, it really is. I dread when it's selected through random or by an annoying person who PERSISTENTLY chose that damn track. It used to be my favourite on the original too xD

I only ever use the bike now, and I always use Rosalina too.

I'm in the 6000's now in online VS mode. epic~

Is it true that you can no longer do multiplayer Grand Prix races?

correct

basically they made all the multiplayer functions worse than before.
Battle is in teams of 6 each, no matter what. The computer just controls the other characters. They're timed, not elimination.
Versus can be races, but you choose each track individually. You can do this individually or in teams of 6 as well. Red vs Blue team. Total points added together.

One player can be just as frustrating as before. A wonderful 10 second lead being destroyed as you're hit with a lightning bolt, then blue shell, then get knocked off a ledge or something.

Oh.

I was actually hoping that they'd allow up to 4 Human Players (or more if it was somehow possible) in a Grand Prix Race in the next Mario Kart game.

[Shauna]

Well, you do have versus races, with up to 4 people playing. You just get to pick whichever 4 tracks you feel like playing, rather than playing through a whole cup. After the four tracks that's it.

[ljkkjlcm9]

so on the gamefaqs forum people are arguing over Automatic versus manual. A number of people are claiming it's easier to get star rankings on automatic. Then this thought hit me. Automatic means you can't do the drift boosts. But maybe if you choose automatic, all the computers are as well, meaning they can't get the boost either. I don't have an account there so I can't post and say that.

You can also change the number of tracks in a "Versus Cup" to up to 32 by messing around with the rules.

[Shauna]

Really? I'll have to mess around with that. xD I don't like being stuck with 4 races.

I find that I am able to rank much higher in races on the Rainbow Road track because I go very, very slow and make sure to use the brakes often. Every character will fall off the stage at some point, so you'll be able to take a lead if you never fall once! Slow and steady wins this race.

[ljkkjlcm9]

Rainbow Road isn't bad when you figure it out. I've 2 starred(or 3) every cup so far, starting on 150 later today.

I'm playing with Mike and Shauna now, I just thrashed them both at Rainbow road

[Raebus]

We let her win.

[Zeldy]

LIES! You kept DCing, Mike In the balloon battle when you DCed, I pushed you off the edge and scored points.

HAR HAR.
