I really can't tell if you are trying to seriously make those silly points or not.

Admitting weakness is not spirit. Try again.

Perhaps you should explain to me what you consider spirit to be because I don't know what it is you're trying to say.

Why do you hate me for not having Birdo? I have no idea how you unlock that character. Tell me and I'll do it.

OK, I'm short six characters and also the second Mii outfit.

You just answered your own question: because you don't have Birdo. Birdo is easy, all you have to do is simply play Time Trials on 16 different courses; you don't even have to get a good time. Alternatively, you can rack up 250 wins on Wi-Fi, but I guess you hadn't played enough before you lost your Internet service. I don't understand for various reasons how Birdo wasn't the first character you unlocked.

If you tell me which characters you have, then I could tell you how to unlock the remaining six.
To get the Mii Outfit B, unlock all 32 fast staff ghosts in Time Trials.

I would think I should already have unlocked Birdo since I do play a lot of time trial. I'll bet it's because I play the ghost challenge mode and for whatever reason I get a lot of repeat courses when I play that way. I'm probably only a course or two away from the threshold. I'll play a bit this weekend. I'm visiting my parents so I have internet for the weekend (stupid comcast).

I just need to hurry and find a new place to move to since then I get get internet again. I have a possible place lined up for mid may when my current lease ends but it's not set in stone. Does anyone have a good recommendation for ISP? I only really use internet but I am thinking I will get cable in my new place. I do care about bandwidth caps and getting high speeds but at the moment I need it on a budget.

Clearwire is $35 for their basic monthly plan. Not that fast of broadband, but no cap.

I'm not sure if it counts if you play it that way, you might have to play the Time Trials from the 1-player mode. You can check to see which tracks you've set a time on by going to Time Trials and selecting a course.

How many Wi-Fi wins do you have? If you'll be playing online this weekend then maybe you could rack up 250 Wi-Fi wins instead.

LOL, I don't think I'll have enough time for that many wins though I do hope to be on tomorrow night. My Win-Lose record is not that good. We'll see I suppose.

I've heard of Clearwire and I may do that and forgo getting cable. Another friend uses it as well. Is if fast enough to work well for online games? I will want to use it to play Steam games, Wii and DS.

vudu · « **Reply #908 on:** April 26, 2009, 11:08:30 AM »

I'm not sure if you know, but 250 wins doesn't mean you have to come in first place 250 times. If you're playing a 12-man race, and you come in 3rd, you're going to rack up 2 losses and 9 wins.

I've played Team Fortress 2 and Grand Theft Auto IV online and never experienced any lag.

Cool, sounds like I might go with that.

So you can earn multiple wins the higher you get in a race? I guess that 250 is more feasable than I thought.

Mop it up · « **Reply #911 on:** April 26, 2009, 03:25:03 PM »

With there being twelve racers, the win-loss record means something different than simply 1st = win and last = loss. For every racer that you place ahead of, you get one win, and for every racer who places ahead of you, you get one loss. I like this system, because it doesn't put so much emphasis on placing in 1st. In a twelve player race - especially a Mario Kart race - even coming in 5th can still be an accomplishment.

If you place first in a twelve-player race you'll get 11 wins, so you could reach 250 wins in as little as 23 races. There's that number again...

LOL, 23, except Blackfootsteps joined up at the last minute so our game is now 24.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #913 on:** April 26, 2009, 03:30:36 PM »

Well GP hasn't been on today yet. Roles haven't been sent out so maybe BFS can play. I think GP will allow it.

I am all-encompassing! Dammit, if I had known that I was violating this oh so sacred number I wouldn't have played! Anyway back to the Karting Krew...

I hate mirror cup rainbow road. I got three excellent first place finishes to only lose the gold on the rainbow thanks to an unprecedented amount of brutality combined with a near unprecedented level of incompetency on my part. I just had to get like 6th or 7th to secure a gold and I got 10th! So frustrating! ARGHHHH!

It is the second worst rainbow road performance I remember on ANY rainbow road in ANY Mario Kart I've played. I can't remember the last time I truly wanted to hurl a controller like then.

Walks are good to relieve stress like that but I need comforting and consoling.

*POUT*

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #917 on:** April 30, 2009, 10:31:30 PM »

There there Stratos. When you get a chance you want to play me.

Dasmos · « **Reply #918 on:** May 01, 2009, 12:33:15 AM »

Think of it this way Stratos, if you play Maxi on Rainbow Road you can get some practice and it's an easy win. I'm pretty sure I beat him like 80 times in a row.

Mop it up · « **Reply #919 on:** May 01, 2009, 02:00:46 AM »

Ha ha, I know the feeling. There are some tracks which really throw me off when I play them on Mirror, and Rainbow Road is one of them.

Welcome to Mario Kart Anonymous. You can tell us anything, nothing will leave this thread. Now, where did the blue shell touch you?

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #920 on:** May 01, 2009, 02:07:15 AM »

I have hated Rainbow Road since the n64 game.

Caliban · « **Reply #921 on:** May 01, 2009, 02:30:28 AM »

Rainbow road is one of the worst tracks on any Mario Kart game. It's so bland driving wise, and it makes my eyes bleed.

Mop it up · « **Reply #922 on:** May 01, 2009, 04:08:38 AM »

Wii Rainbow Road is awesome, one of the best tracks in the game. The one in Double Dash!! is pretty good too. Mario Kart 64's is way too long and uneventful. Super Mario Kart Super Circuit are both flat, dull, and boring. I never played DS.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #923 on:** May 01, 2009, 05:09:11 AM »

Dasmos it is not really a easy win. I just wasn't really focusing. Sometimes I just play without trying to compete.

Dasmos · « **Reply #924 on:** May 01, 2009, 06:40:32 AM »

Ahahah that's what they all say.
