So I finally finished all the circuits but sh*t is it hard to get the full 3 stars. I've managed to bag them all on the 50 class. On the 100, I managed to get it on all but 2 or 3 I think. Once I hit the 150 and beyond, the best I've received is 2 stars on some of the cups.
I've also been passing the time by tackling all the ghosts I've collected through spotpass and let me tell you, that is a sobering process. After completing all the cups in all the divisions, I thought I was Mr hot stuff, hopping around the tracks with the highest of precisions. I felt unstopable lol. I tried a handfull of the top ghosts (always from some Japanese player it seems lol) and I was left severely dusted. I don't know if its just that I don't have all the right gear open yet but I can't see how these people are getting these times. I know I don't hit all the shortcuts all the time but even on the stages where I do, they are still way beyond my reach. Has anyone else experienced this?
One thing I did notice though that I never knew about is that I think every Mii I've raced against online has shown up in my Plaza. I stopped by the plaza the other day to see if I've found anyone new on streetpass (which at the time I had only 6 hits) and found my plaza filled up into the high 60s. I got so excited thinking finally I can get a little farther in the Save Mii game but just my luck, you can't take any of these Mii's into that game. At this rate, I don't think my Mii will ever get saved lol.
Anyways, back to Mario Kart. I've been thinking of starting up a community for just strictly racing, no items (maybe bananas though lol) to really emphasize the driver's skills in a race. Would anyone on here be interested in participating? If there are, I'll be sure to create it and post it on here. I'm dieing for some online racing but would prefer to keep it towards my fellow members here and not the masses lol.
