Drifting on corners is fine, I just don't want things to get abused.Also, if anyone wants to add my 3DS code it is: 2019-9653-8564It'll make it a lot easier to see when people are online and racing if we add each other.

Chibinuva Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Since I don't have a DS/3DS, I won't be getting any of the handheld games anytime soon. I'd probably get Mario Kart Wii, if it wasn't for the fact that it's still $50, and I can always get Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing for only $18 which was also a pretty good game, has my favorite characters (Sonic, Tails, etc.) and has online. However, thanks to Nintendo Club now offering downloads of games, I just got Super Mario Kart, and between the different courses, fun multiplayer, awesome retro graphics/gameplay, and being free (save for costing 100 coins,) I just love it. <3 Only thing that would make it better would be if I could play it with a Wiimote, since I don't have any Classic Controllers, and the analog stick on one of my Gamecube controllers is broken (though fortunately, not the d-pad.)

Tavakai Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I had Mario Kart DS up until I lost it about a year ago, so I'm glad MK7 has really similar controls.Anyway, the funny thing about this game is that the hardest course (at least for me) isn't Rainbow Road--this time it's actually pretty okay. The hardest course for me here is Maple Treeway. :PAlso, even though I didn't get the kart I wanted yet, I take back what I said about not joining until then on account of the fact that I have two stars next to my name; that's a good indication that I probably don't need said kart to do well.

Ziko Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) I don't have Mario Kart 7 yet, but I'm probably going to get it for Christmas or sometime after that.It looks good, although I'm not a fan of their driver selection. I'd rather have someone like Dry Bones again than, say, Metal Mario. I like Shy Guy, though.Also, in regards to the retro courses, I don't care for their Wii picks. Koopa Cape, Mushroom Gorge, and especially Maple Treeway were some of my least favorites from the Wii game. But I love their DS/Gamecube courses, particularly Dino Dino Jungle.Also, I was wondering, how does driving underwater compare to the usual driving? It sounds like it could be pretty awkward.

GSR Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I haven't played all that much, but to me it seems pretty much the same as driving aboveground, just with slight differences in handling and "air"time.

Tavakai Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Also, I was wondering, how does driving underwater compare to the usual driving? It sounds like it could be pretty awkward.It's like driving in lower gravity (which you actually do on part of Rainbow Road as well); you hang in the air for a bit longer after you go off a jump. Also, either off-road terrain doesn't exist or it doesn't slow you down very much. I feel like it's a bit slower too, but I'm not totally sure.

Terminus Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I feel a tad bit disappointed with 7. I've unlocked every character in under 2 hours, and that was kinda a big thing for me in Mario Kart Wii... Fortunately all the kart parts will take longer, but still...Anyways, I am enjoying my time with MK7, although I don't think it's as good as MKWii.

Blessed Blade Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I pretty literally just got MK7. Playing more or less as I type this, as I'm using my 3Ds to type it, while the game's suspended. :PThe game's pretty good, but the differences between this and MKDS are just enough that I'm failing at everything but the battles. xD... That, or I shouldn't've hopped online like 2 minutes after starting the game up for tne first time.

I just obliterated the Time Trial record that got street passed to me today, for Maka Wuhu. Took a couple shortcuts(But not the glitch. I still have no clue how to even do that. =P), and while I fell a couple times, and it could likely be better, I still was better than the one in first place on that Spotpass. =D Edited December 28, 2011 by Fullbringer Blade Quote The Pokemon TopicPokemon: Rise of the Rockets - Rise of the Rockets Discussion Topic - Rise of the Rockets Side Stories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltex Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I don't have a 3DS yet, and so thus do not own MK7. I will admit I was extremely disappointed to hear about the inclusion of Metal Mario as a characters (and Waluigi not being included in it). Also, that bee doesn't belong there- she's only been an extremely minor character in two games. The lack of Dry Bones for me is kind of offset by the inclusion of the Koopa Troopa.However, I was glad to hear about some of the retro courses. I was hoping for Waluigi Pinball in MKWii, but I'm very happy with the four courses they chose for MK7. Of course, I loved pretty much everything about MKDS, so they couldn't really mess up there. I am not pleased with the Wii courses chosen, though; I hate Coconut Mall with a passion, and Maple Treeway and Mushroom Gorge aren't the best tracks that could've been chosen. Happy to see Dino Dino Jungle, but Daisy Cruiser is kind of a meh addition. Looking forward to racing on Kalimari Desert again.Battle course wise, I'm not sure I like the choices for the retro courses. Palm Beach was my least favourite of the DS courses, but I am glad with the inclusion of Big Donut.Anyway, those are my thoughts on MK7 before playing it. Hopefully I get to try it out soon. -ibrow Quote JOIN AETHERGARDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blessed Blade Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Big Donut... IS AWESOME.I was racing on the random battles last night, and it was absolutely hilarious. I'm awesome on the Big Donut track, in both Balloon Battles and Coin Runners, but I prefer Balloon Battles more, as it gives you a reason to attack literally everyone. =PMetal Mario is definitely an odd choice, and so is the bee...But being able to race as your own Mii offsets all that. I've been playing as my own Mii, as such. =P Quote The Pokemon TopicPokemon: Rise of the Rockets - Rise of the Rockets Discussion Topic - Rise of the Rockets Side Stories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mushroom Gorge isn't exactly a great course, but it's good for a simple cup. Luigi Circuit from N64 is an awful choice, IMO, as it is possibly the most boring course ever.@Blade: If you get stars on all of your Grand Prixs (all of them) then when you race online you'll have stars next to your name.

Blessed Blade Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) @ Star stuff: Huh, that's interesting. I'll definitely have to try to get 3 stars on everything, then. =D It has nothing to do with the stars I've encountered while online somehow, right?(for some reason, if I've finished in first on some races, when I started, I got a star next to my name, near where the wheel symbol is. Dunno why.)@ Racing: If anyone wants to race me, I'm on the BZP community right now. =)/EDIT: One thing to add... I'm not a 3 star racer yet online. So could you please not snake the race away, or leave me in the dust, especially if I fall into a pit 100 times, or otherwise get destroyed? I just faced two racers in the community that pretty much shut me out, one went 12-4 against me twice. =/ I like racing you guys and all, but when I ask 'please take it easy on me', would you guys keep that in mind please? Just wanted to mention that, as I'm getting destroyed even on my favourite track right now. xD/EDIT: Just to explain a little more; I'm not the cheating computer, you guys don't need to use every tiny advantage you can get to beat me. Beating me by like 15 seconds even on the closest match is one way to show that. =P I just don't want to get disheartened, even though I would like have similar results on the random matches. =P Edited December 28, 2011 by Fullbringer Blade Quote The Pokemon TopicPokemon: Rise of the Rockets - Rise of the Rockets Discussion Topic - Rise of the Rockets Side Stories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blessed Blade Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I see. =P Okay then. =PYeah, likely, I beat a lot of the randoms I face, though some do manage to beat me, if only because I loathe some of those battle stages. Wuhu Town and Big Donut are the two stages I like the most. Especially Big Donut, because I can just drive around gathering powerups, and then blast people. =P Quote The Pokemon TopicPokemon: Rise of the Rockets - Rise of the Rockets Discussion Topic - Rise of the Rockets Side Stories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
