You guys are good...especially MIC.

I think I about maxed out my time on Luigi Circuit with the Mach Bike. I think I need to try another Kart or unlock something to go lower.

 

[BuddyKnuckles]

ok, tough guy try out delfino square. i put up a decent time there.

I own Delfino Squre. Own it. It's mine.

damn dude, it took me quite a while to beat that time. nice run. i think i'm maxed out though until i decide to go to manual drift...posted my ghost for you to work on. a hair under 2:21

not bad, except i just took 3 seconds off it and yes, i did just run into our office to type this in ETA: wait a sec, your not even on manual drift yet? how the h are you getting those times an auto?

[Very Slow]While riding in my Cadillac,What to my surprise.A little Nash Rambler was following me -About one third my size.The guy must’ve wanted to pass me upAs he kept on tooting his horn. Beep! Beep!I’ll show him that a CadillacIs not a car to scorn.Beep beep. Beep! Beep! Beep beep. Beep! Beep!His horn went beep beep beep. Beep! Beep![slow]I pushed my foot down to the floorTo give the guy the shake.But the little Nash Rambler stayed right behind;He still had on his brake.He must have thought his car had more gutsAs he kept on tooting his horn. Beep! Beep!I’ll show him that a CadillacIs not a car to scorn.Beep beep. Beep! Beep! Beep beep. Beep! Beep!His horn went beep beep beep. Beep! Beep![Normal]My car went into passing gearAnd we took off with gust.Soon we were doing ninety -Must’ve left him in the dust.When I peeked in the mirror of my car,I couldn’t believe my eyes:The little Nash Rambler was right behind -I think that guy could fly.Beep beep. Beep! Beep! Beep beep. Beep! Beep!His horn went beep beep beep.[Faster]Now we’re doing a hundred and ten -This certainly was a race.For a Rambler to pass a CaddyWould be a big disgrace.The guy must’ve wanted to pass me upAs he kept on tooting his horn.I’ll show him that a CadillacIs not a car to scorn.Beep beep. Beep! Beep! Beep beep. Beep! Beep!His horn went beep beep beep.[Fastest]Now we’re doing a hundred and twenty -As fast as I could go.The Rambler pulled along side of meAs if we were going slow.The fellow rolled down his windowAnd yelled for me to hear,“Hey, Buddy, how can I get this carOut of second gear?!”

 

[snogger]

Can someone explain to me time trials?? Do you do this on the WFC part pr just on your own?

Go to the normal single player mode, then Time Trials. You can run the race as many times as you want. Then, go to WFC, then Rankings, then Time Trial Rankings. Under the Friends group, you'll see the times off all of your registered friends.

Add to that...click on the image of the Mii and you can download their ghost to race against

this post. Our copy should arrive this week while we are on vacation in Wisconsin Dells, but when I return it will be time to play.

yes, thats the place. if you notice at the edge of the cement/grass, the ledge has a lip on it that you can jump i think. i got all wet trying too. maybe it's just a tease. but why else would that area open up like that?

you geek.

I am still behind your ghost by 5 seconds in Delfino Square. Id really like to see your ghost. And whats up with these people with the world records? I they putting in some cheat code or something cuz I really dont understand how they are beating me in some races by 30 seconds. I raced one of their ghosts to see what he was doing and it seems he just went much faster than me.

 

[RIM]

some of those world records are ridiculous. i'll just concentrate on beating everyone here...

i guess it's time i start learning that manual drift so i can take down Buddyknuckles on Delfino. the bar has been set. (and thanks for that shortcut video!)

most of my times shouldn't be that hard to beat if you practice enough. i didn't race all the tracks too much, just enough to beat the nintendo ghost is all and set a time for everyone to work on.

I really enjoy the time trials more than the races, but i'll never be able to compete with those world records.

you can download anyones ghost from the rankings screen can't you? i simply ran a perfect lap 3 times cutting the corners as close as i could...it probably took me 1-2 hours to finally beat BK's time, then he just creamed me the next day....stupid manual-drift

I'm really not all that great, so add me to help your own self-confidence.

 

[eoMMan]

I will pick this up within the next few days.Expect a big tourney Friday night.

I should be on-line at about 8:30 PM EST tonight if you guys want to play.I'll be picking the game up after work so I'll probably suck at it.

 

[RIM]

Indy 500, grilling out and MarioKart...i can't wait to get the weekend started.

 

[Jobber]

My entire family is completely addicted to this game. The online races are unbelievable fun - and it's nice that it's free. Hopefully more Wii games will do this.

I wanted to clean up the Mario Kart stuff and focus us into one thread .... as I haven't been this addicted to a game in years!!! I've lost more sleep over the last week and a half than I have since my 2 year old was a new born.

I want to get some FBG battles going!

Also, this'll be a good place to brag about Time Trials and such.

gotta go to the rankings page, find the person you want to download, click on them, and a screen should come up that asks if you want to download their ghost

 

[RIM]

i thought you could do that as well, but it seems you can only download "friends" ghosts if they have issued a challenge to you. although i swear i've downloaded them before without such challenge.

if anyone wants to see one of my ghosts, post it here and i'll shoot you the challenge. I've been working on BuddyKnuckles times and have learned a few shortcuts through him...

 

[eoMMan]

That game really is like crack. I was up to about 3:30 last night playing VS people all over the world. Very cool game. I'm going to play some more now.

i sent you the challenge this time...you should be able to download it. I can't beat BuddyK though.

 

[eoMMan]

Alright, I have a bunch of questions for you guys.....

1. What controller do you use? I seem to be more comfortable with the remote/knuchuck combo.

2. Do you use manual or automatic? It seems like if you are good at the manual, you'll be faster than if you're good at the automatic. I've been using the automatic for right now.

3. Is there a way to consistently get that boost off of the starting line? Any tips for this? I get it sometimes but can't figure out why.

4. Is there a way to dodge/block red turtle shells coming at you from behind?

2. Hold the gas right after 24. Hold a banana or shell behind you when driving. Pull and hold the trigger to do it.

 

[SKribbles]

Is there anyway to dodge the POW or flying shell? I ####en hate those things!

 

[HellToupee]

just came home after buying MK

this must really be selling as BB was out and CC were I bought my copy had only 2 left

 

[shadyridr]

Flick the controller up just when the POW block is about to go pow. Flying shell is unavoidable.

OK Im almost 100% sure you go faster using automatic rather than manual. Cuz I just raced this ghost using the same character and car and got off to the same exact start and we were going the same speed for a second and then you just jetted past me. Then I switched to automatic and we stayed the same speed in the beginning. Thats a bit disheartening.Anyway, I own on DK Jungle Parkway (using Manual)

 

[Tony Jabroni]

I'll be on again later tonight. I'm not very good, though. I think I met up with chet last night on WFC.

Back to the discussion re: stars...it is easier to earn stars using automatic...I don't get it. If people are claiming to race faster on the time trials with automatic and it's easier to earn stars using auto...what's the point of manual? I think it's a lot more fun racing on manual but the results don't seem to be as good.

Manual is much more fun but apparently you go faster automatic. lame

 

[RIM]

you dont get the turbo boosts on automatic...how can it be faster? i have to disagree there. I can run a perfect race on automatic and not beat someone who just races a good race on manual.
