Why does it feel like I'm the only one who thinks the new Rainbow Road is easy? Am I the only MAN on these boards?

It's easy when you're out in front, trying to make ground through all the carnage in the middle of the pack is what is hard. Fortunately I'm always out in front. 

Sounds like you're another MAN among these boys

[Caliban]

I'm about to complain about something in this game... WHY ARE ONLY 30 FRIEND CODES ALLOWED?

These 2 weren't lucky enough:
2406 5541 5215
3695 0433 3864
I forgot to take their names haha, oh well I can't do anything 'cause I erased their wii-mail.

[Mario]

Yeah that is just plain stupid. It's supposed to be "30 per license" for a total of 120 but that's the most pointless thing ever.

[Spak-Spang]

Have any of you been having problems connecting online?  I have only been able to race a few ghosts, but even then that doesn't always work.

I don't understand, I checked my settings and even updated my Wii but Kart I can't get online with.

Mean time, I am loving this game, but man some races in the 100cc and I am sure 150cc are stupid with items.  I will have raced all the way first place until the finish line and get hit with 3 attacks in a row and get 8th place. 

That is frustrating.

[Mario]

It's something with the servers at the moment. Hopefully it goes away. Error Code 60101 or something like that is what I get.

Wow.

Good thing I only have like 4 friends.

[Shecky]

Ok, so I know 3 friends are online... why won't you let me race them Nintendo.... STOP USING GAMESPY

Regional races for for all of 3 of us, but we don't appear "online" in the friend roster.... wonderful, just wonderful.

Having not played Wii yet, I was having the same problem with the harder courses on Double Dash, and I found that when I held onto good items I got rather than use them (which would usually cost me a few places), I was able to use them more effectively near the end of the race and mess up my "rivals" so they couldn't demolish me at the last second...didn't give me the satisfaction of leading for a whole race, but screw it, I won. Would that not work in this game?

I don't think it's that simple. I'll bet it's fine because Rockstar was actually willing to open their wallets...

[Caliban]

I always thought that there was no way to dodge the dreaded blue shell, until today.
I was just playing on Grand Prix, and at one point I got myself in first obviously. Then a blue shell is hovering above me and I have one red turbo shroom, I don't know if it was instinct or what but I reacted right on time to use the red turbo shroom, as a sped up and swiveled to the left side I saw myself in disbelief to which point I watched the replay 4 times just to make sure lol.

[DAaaMan64]

Can you save replays? I'd love to see it.  Also, I think maybe jumping right on the final blow from a plow block might cancel it out, but I'm not sure. :/

[NWR_insanolord]

This is weird, I get an error message when I try to connect for a race, but when I try to battle it works just fine.

[Mario]

I imagine there's significantly less people doing battle. That could be why.

[Caliban]

Unfortunately there is no option to save the replay.

I was watching youtube the other day and you can avoid it you have to time the hop just before the block disappears.

[BeautifulShy]

I just got this about 5 hours ago and there were 10 people over and everybody loves the wii wheel. That is really the only thing anyone used me and many friends beat 50cc got all the courses and after that I went online had tons of fun. When I was on Rainbow Road I kept on falling of and every one was laughing. It wasn't a "you suck" laugh it was a having fun laugh. I haven't tried all the control sceams but I will get to that tomorrow. I love all the courses with the exeption of shy guy beach it is kinda blah.

Its not hopping, its doing tricks.  As soon as the POW blocks starts up, just shake your controller until its done and you will recover.

[Pale]

Speaking of recovering, I miss banana peel braking.

[Nick DiMola]

Speaking of recovering, I miss banana peel braking.

Yeah I really liked that too. Maybe next time ...
