"Everyone" = the two players on the console.

I've found a nitpick, 4 and under player races are lame as hell. The good items barely ever come into play like they do in MKDS. It's just green shells and red shells and a mushroom or two. It's still heaven online though.

No its not!!!!!!!!!

The online race that you jumped into with my friend, he and i were cursing and swearing back and forth on skype at how it repeatedly gives you a cloud in a race where it's impossible to get something else to get rid of it. We got about half a dozen clouds each.

Just want to say, I love having CPU karts in versus and battle modes. It allowed me, my brother, his girlfriend, and MY DAD to play a good two hours of this game and enjoy ourselves and cheer each other on. I lvoe bots because then humans can band together to defeat them.

Yeah, I wish I at least had the option to race without them, but it does allow my dad and sister to feel more accomplishment for beating eight or nine CPU opponents than if they just beat me or each other.

Oh yeah, those were good Plugabugz. Clouds are hilarious, except when you get them on lap 3 in last place.

Wow that is pretty good. I got 1:14.

Mario · « **Reply #807 on:** July 02, 2008, 12:41:25 AM »

:O it's up! I'll give it a go now.

Wow this KICKS ARSE! I got 45 seconds so far but there's gonna be heaps of strategies for this.

D_Average · « **Reply #808 on:** July 08, 2008, 06:35:26 PM »

Just beat my old record, my new record is 43.666. Hats off to anyone that can beat that!

Celebrating Reggie month in true style

Huge props to Pro for recording these in such good quality. Unfortunately we didn't get the Reggie total top 5 sweep saved but the first one is close enough!

Last night had some epic twists. Despite the odds, Reggie served up JUSTICE.

Anyone tried the new tourney yet? 1:04 is my best time, should be pretty easy to beat, I'm awful w/ the wheel.

Morari · « **Reply #812 on:** July 16, 2008, 06:47:36 PM »

All of the recent tournaments have been "wheel only"... It's very unfair.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #813 on:** July 16, 2008, 06:59:06 PM »

Only new-generation gamers apply.

Looks like nintendo is starting to make everyone wean away from traditional control.

Added another epic adventure, this time at Rainbow Road on the eve of this week's Nintendo media briefing.

Team Reggie almost didn't make it this tiime, but the BLUE OCEAN STRATEGY prevails in the end.

Dasmos · « **Reply #816 on:** July 20, 2008, 05:46:41 AM »

ugh, online has become unplayable due to loser fags using glitches. every single race.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #817 on:** July 20, 2008, 03:24:33 PM »

Team Reggie is forcing them into desperation.

Mario · « **Reply #818 on:** July 31, 2008, 10:28:20 PM »

This game is so amazing, i've been playing with casual gamers and it's gotten to the point where they are even better than me at it. I don't think this game will ever die.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #819 on:** July 31, 2008, 11:30:19 PM »

It seems the casuals are moving up market.

Mario · « **Reply #820 on:** August 01, 2008, 11:13:03 AM »

I was stunned when my friend brought out the Mach Bike and started busting out Wheelies and complex strategies on my arse.

my friends can draft far better than i ever could, can't tell how many times i've lost the lead right at the end due to them drafting me.

also this game is incredible, i mean i still played double dash every now and then after i bought it, but i still play this daily. i've missed days of uni because my friends (and I) wanted to play mkwii.

On busy nights, this game does not connect. It sucks

TheFleece · « **Reply #823 on:** August 25, 2008, 08:32:52 PM »

I've had a serious love/hate relationship with the Wheel, at first I just couldn't use it and instead I opted for the wiimote/nunchuck set up. A few months ago I started playing with King Boo and decided to give the wheel another chance- and for the first time it felt smooth and very comfortable. Now I use the wheel all the time and have gotten back to face the malicious computer.
Also the music in the game isn't special in anyway, it seems somewhat bland and I've replaced the music with a cd that is probably the best soundtrack I've ever heard for Mario Kart. I put it on when a friend came over to play and he loved it. I think that Bollywood Steel Guitar was made for Mario Kart.

The end credits song is awesome though.
