My beefs with MKWii

Yea. If you play the game long enough you get a feeling for what routes they take and if you hear a BB roaring behind you you just get out of its way. Also rearview mirror's your friend if you're unsure where it is.

I dislike the following:
- Double Dash quality graphics with a bloom effect slapped on
- The amazing amount of crap that happens to the player in first
- They changed the sliding physics (although, this does give me something new to master)
- Going off road = 0.2 mph. At least in the old games you had a fighting chance if you went off road.
- If you skim a wall you're messed up.

Otherwise, I love the game.

Dear People who find Bullet Bills a problem,

Get out of the middle of the f***ing road.

Hey guys I'd quite happily push you into second but I'm still waiting for my Wii to be returned!

The Flying Blue Shell is at its absolute worst in this game.

My strategy in a racing game of all things should not be to STAY OUT OF FIRST PLACE.

Strip the wings and make it like the 64/Super Circuit Shell. Make it able to be blocked by a shell or banana. Do something to lessen the absolute stupidity of this item.

Whine more. Maybe it'll fix itself.

In all honestly, if you find items a problem, there's a simple solution: stop being awful at the game. I take item barrages worse than the one in the first post all the time, often several times a race, and I rarely if ever drop into second.

This.

people who suck claim the game is luck based

Spoilers:

its not

Anyway I've avoided blue shells before. More opportunities to than usual in this game.

FUN FACT: If a POW Block is used then flick the controller (Wii Wheel and Nunchuk) or press the D-Pad (Classic and GCN Controllers) at the right moment it strikes to do quick recoveries so that you won't lose a lot of speed.

Maybe for the levels themselves but I'm pretty sure the characters have been revamped a bit. Just because I had to resort to going back to Double Dash the other day and that game looked noticably worse.

Also I think MKWii might be the first game to not repeat music for more than one level (unless DS did that too). Thank the lord.

Aside from the circuits, Wario Stadium and Waluigi Pinball had the same music but that was it. So excepting the circuits yeah.

exactly i just stay in 5th place the whole game and wait until final lap where i get all the good items and get in first place




being in first just has a huge disadvantage in every mario kart game it's better not to stay first until the end

because staying in later places = hgher chance of good items

I thought the levels themselves were actually better than I expected apart from the obvious use of bloom. Characters still look about as bad as they did in Double Dash!! to me (See DK's "cuffs")

Having that glowing effect on Moonview Highway doesn't help.

the levels look great. the characters are mario 64 esque

it's a pretty bad game, not much you can do to prevent being lightning struck in mid air after taking a jump so you get slammed down into a ravine where you must wait for lakitu to pick you up. or getting pow blocked, red shelled, blue shelled, and then blooped all within the span of five seconds. it's insanely random and i feel like it's me vs 11, not a ffa.

also, twelve players is totally unnecessary, should stick with 8.

It doesn't feel like Mario Kart. That's my only complaint.

More beefs:

-When you jump over a ramp, the area you land in should be fenced.

e.g. Rainbow Road. That place is INSANE.

-Balloon battle shouldn't be timed.

rainbow road is easy once you run through it once or twice

Really? Cause I'm trying to unlock Mirror Mode and I CAN'T. STOP. FALLING.

drift better
