I mean, it's a pretty good average
#MK8 Deluxe

meager abyss
Is baby park the only one that deviates?
neon quest
Nope
[Inhales]
The entirety of Super Mario Kart, Super Circuit's ports of SMK's tracks, GCN Wario Colosseum, the entirety of the Arcade GP 1 and 2, almost every track in Arcade GP DX, every single damn track in Tour EXCEPT 3DS Rainbow Road and that weird Arcade GP VR game
meager abyss
Damn
meager abyss
Is baby park the only one in mk8d tho?
neon quest
Next game has a 99.9% chance of having one
meager abyss
Whats your guess on when mk9 is coming out?
neon quest
Next year when the next console releases
meager abyss
Do you think they will do a new gimmick or something?
neon quest
Thing is it's not a matter of them "having" to do something new
They NEED to do something new
meager abyss
True
neon quest
Because picture this
meager abyss
I dont think Ill even be buying it except if its something crazy
neon quest
MK9 releases, the entire internet explodes
But then Nintendo announce that MK9 will consist of 32 tracks like normal
meager abyss
MK9 releases, the entire internet explodes
because they added freddy fazbear as a playable character
neon quest
Would you buy MK9 with 32 tracks
Or would you stay with MK8D which has fucking 96
meager abyss
Ye exactly
Also like all my friends have mk8d
The ones that have switches that is
And I highly doubt they will be getting mk9
So I wouldn't get much out of mk9 because of that at least not from online play
neon quest
If they wanna make MK9 a success, they're gonna have to go big or go home
neon quest
True
meager abyss
A track builder pherhaps? Also like more customizable carts and drivers
meager abyss
Skins for characters kinda like tour but no micro transactions
neon quest
Return to the 5 tracks per cup
meager abyss
Wdym wasnt tour very profitable?
neon quest
They got sued lmao
meager abyss
Huh!?
neon quest
Yeah, it's why they removed the randomisation from many of the pipes
And it led to the almighty creation of
£40 DIDDY KONG
meager abyss
what
meager abyss
Yeah, it's why they removed the randomisation from many of the pipes
What was the lawsuit about?
neon quest
Father said his son stole his money to gamble on MKT
And so gambling accusations started to get thrown at Nintendo
So they started to include bundles where it was FATED you'd get a character
meager abyss
And they won?
neon quest
Nintendo won, but the government were going after them in terms of new gambling laws
neon quest
Yep

Damn. I thought you were into F-Zero
neon quest
Nah lmao
I just said "F-Zero 99? I'll give it a shot, why not" then proceeded to get the full 100 wins in under a collective day and 1 hour lmao
neon quest
F-Zero 99 made me realise that the reason I love MK so much is the chaos lmao
meager abyss
Ah okay
neon quest
But yeah, I am REALLY good at F-ZERO 99, faulty R button and all lmao
meager abyss
Nice
neon quest
It's just so mad and chaotic
99 real life people racing against each other in a claustrophobic area
And another reason I like F-Zero 99
It's just so nice seeing Nintendo give F-Zero another chance
Series like Mario, Kirby, Zelda, all that are going to be getting games like there's no tomorrow
Where all their other franchises have either been left for dead (Earthbound) for are just starting out (Ring Fit and Splatoon)
While we all thought F-Zero was dead in the waters after GX, nope
Here it is, F-Zero 99
And it is such a blast to play
meager abyss
Where all their other franchises have either been left for dead (Earthbound) for...
I wouldnt say splatoon is just starting out
Consider it already has a 3rd installment
neon quest
Yeah, that one was a stretch lmao
But you get what I mean
It's just so nice to see they aren't abandoning their older game series
neon quest
I feel like that's gonna be either:
A) A game announced in the Switch's final direct
B) A game for the next console
meager abyss
I never even played a kid icarus game tbh

meager abyss
Do yall think we will ever get like an open world mario kart game?
neon quest
What do you mean?
meager abyss
Like a mario kart game with an open world
neon quest
Like CTR in a way?
meager abyss
So like roads and infrastucture inbetween the stages
And you'd have like areas that like fit the aesthetic of the stages
So like an winter area with all the wintery stages a grasslands with stuff like moo moo meadows and the normal circuits
neon quest
Hmmmm
You mean all the tracks are interconnected in a way?
That would actually be cool as hell lmao
Double Dash and 8 did a very similar thing
meager abyss
You mean all the tracks are interconnected in a way?
Yeah and there would be like little hubs for each world
neon quest
Hell yea
meager abyss
Each hub would have like a garage and a shop and stuff
neon quest
Only problem is that that may make the tracks in similar areas seem very similar to one another
meager abyss
Yeah and the backgrounds cant be as extravagant
And it would be far more expensive
To make
neon quest
Hmmm
How DD and 8 did it was they took that design philosophy and made it sort of an Easter egg-y type deal
Wii U Super Bell Subway is a great example of it
meager abyss
Whats DD and 8?
neon quest
Mario Kart Double Dash and Mario Kart 8
meager abyss
Did they have a kind of open world?
neon quest
Yeah but actually no
In DD and 8, they made the tracks and locations feel VERY connected
In Double Dash, in the backgrounds of almost every track, you can see another track far in the background
meager abyss
Ohhh thats very cool!
neon quest
A good example is in the background of Peach Beach and Yoshi Circuit, you can see GCN Daisy Cruiser in the ocean
And in GCN Dino Dino Jungle, you can see DK Mountain
meager abyss
I love DK mountain
neon quest
Ye! In 8, they took it a step further
In Super Bell Subway, at the start, you can see a giant map of a city
That same city is the exact one you race above in N64 Rainbow Road
It connects to various other tracks, such as Toad Harbour, Melody Motorway and Yoshi Valley
Sunshine Airport also contains the interconnection ideology, with the flight announcer making references to MK8's tracks, saying flights are beginning for Sweet Sweet Canyon and such
Tour even continued this kinda
meager abyss
Oeoe thats cool I need to pay more attention to that
neon quest
Ye! It's such a neat thing
meager abyss
An open world mario kart would be huge tho
If they do it right that is
If not open world I hope MK9 just puts a heavy focus on new stages, more variety and better customization
neon quest
True! On a really neat note of that interconnecting idea, you know how in DS, 2 of the choices for retro tracks are GBA Luigi Circuit and GBA Sky Garden for Leaf and Lightning Cup respectively?
neon quest
The tracks are actually right next to each other
A really neat detail in Super Circuit is that when you race on Luigi Circuit, there's a giant Luigi balloon that slowly begins to rise in the air on lap 2
And when you start Sky Garden, you can see the same balloon rising above the clouds
neon quest
Ye!
DS didn't really have that going for it, unfortunately
Wii was also kinda similar too
Which actually worked well in their favour with differentiating the tracks
Hell, same can be said about 7
WITH ONE EXCEPTION
And that's the Wuhu Island tracks
meager abyss
I miss Wuhu island
neon quest
Gonna be real with you, Wuhu Island Loop and Wuhu Mountain Loop have been GUARANTEED to be in the next MK
meager abyss
why is that?
neon quest
Literally every 3DS track has been remade except for those two
meager abyss
what makes you think they wont stay that way?
Nintendo hasnt exactly been kind to wuhu island or the miis
neon quest
Do you really want to play 3DS Toad Circuit for the 4th time in a row
meager abyss
y e s
neon quest
Lmao, point is, they have so little choices left
They have JUST ENOUGH
For a retro cup lineup
neon quest
Imma be honest, that's another 100% guarantee
Not Luigi Circuit, that's got a relatively low chance
meager abyss
the nostalgia is strong with this one
neon quest
Imma be honest, for the 1st Shell Cup race, it's a fight between Wii Luigi Circuit and DS Figure-8 Circuit
meager abyss
for me its def Weegee
neon quest
I'm putting my bets on F8C
Missed opportunity of the CENTURY not to have it in 8
LITERALLY THE GAME WITH AN
8 IN IT'S NAME
meager abyss
I dont remember playing it on the ds
Honestly I dont remember much about ds mario kart at all unfortunately
I vaguely remember playing a desert track and thats like it
neon quest
Desert Hills!
meager abyss
Could be
neon quest
Yeah, the only desert track in the game
meager abyss
That ds broke so I haven't played mk ds in like 15 years or something
neon quest
UnlessyouwannacounttheabominationthatisSNESChocoIsland2
neon quest
That ds broke so I haven't played mk ds in like 15 years or something
NOOOO
DS Figure-8 Circuit, is, put simply
Shit lmao
Literally a figure 8
No shortcuts, no boost pads, no ramps, no NOTHING
neon quest
It's why I think 9 is gonna bring it back
meager abyss
It better not
neon quest
Because with such a dead and empty track, they've basically got a blank canvas to work with
meager abyss
Maybe a hot take but I wouldn't mind their only being like 8 old stages and the rest being all fresh
But I suppose it depends on how many stages we get
If we only get 36 Imma be very dissapointed if half of them are old
neon quest
I reckon at MINIMUM, 32 (16 nitro, 16 retro), at MAXIMUM, 60 (if they made MK8's 4 DLC cups mainstays and brought back the 5 races per cup deal)
meager abyss
They have to do something real good otherwise Im not buying it
neon quest
THAT'S EXACTLY IT
It's why my MK9 prediction list has 5 tracks per cup
People are not going to buy the new MK game if they just do 32 tracks again
meager abyss
DS Figure-8 Circuit, is, put simply
Shit lmao
Geez you werent kidding
meager abyss
People are not going to buy the new MK game if they just do 32 tracks again
yeah especially if the next console has backwards compatibility
neon quest
YEAH
meager abyss
If it doesnt I reckon people might just stick with the switch
neon quest
I think my idea is what would work best for them
meager abyss
even 5 tracks per cup is not enough for me personally
MK8D is just too strong to justify getting MK9 if it only has 60 tracks with a lot of old ones
especially because of multiplayer
neon quest
Thing is
meager abyss
cuz nintendo games are pricy not everyone wants to spent 60 bucks on a new mario kart especially not if they have mk9
neon quest
I believe we have reached the part of the discussion where we can talk about how Mario Kart and Smash Bros are in such similar spots
neon quest
Ultimate and 8 Deluxe are probably the most compact, expansive and BIGGEST games of their respective series
But how do you move on from such a big game??
meager abyss
exactly
personally I think for smash they will probaly include old games somehow
have gamemodes that are just the old games
that way people could simp over smash brawl or melee on a brand new console lmao
not ultimate tho if they decide to make gamemodes for the old games my guess is ssb4 and ultimate wont be in them
neon quest
Lmao
I dunno, they've kinda backed themselves into a corner
They need to do something BIG
meager abyss
true
perfect time for open world mario kart imo
open world smash 
cant wait for open world animal crossing and open world donkey kong
now with funky mode!
neon quest
*Hey, Nintendo, psst, listen to me
Give me the next MK with Arcade GP rep and ports of the Arcade GP games with it and we'll be happy*
meager abyss
Arcade GP?
neon quest
Mario Kart Arcade GP!
meager abyss
Im not familiar
neon quest
YO
Dude, that's an entire section of MK history on its OWN
The Arcade GP games are really weird parts of MK history Nintendo refuses to acknowledge for some reason
meager abyss
were they even developed by nintendo?
neon quest
Nope lmao
meager abyss
maybe thats why
neon quest
I'll give you a lil history lesson
Back when Double Dash released in 2003, Namco and Sega were both fascinated at the power of the Nintendo GameCube
So, they wanted to see how far they could push the GameCube's capabilities, and went up to Nintendo to ask them if they were able to use some GameCube hardware to make an arcade cabinet and Nintendo just said "yeah, piss off, whatever"
This created what was titled the Triforce Engine, referencing the collaboration between Nintendo, Namco and Sega
It was essentially just an upgraded GameCube that was able to play arcade games
2 notable games that used the engine were F-ZERO AX and the almighty Mario Kart Arcade GP
meager abyss
huh interesting
meager abyss
didnt expect nintendo namco and SEGA to collab
neon quest
Yeah! This gave birth to the often-forgotten Mario Kart Arcade GP series, beginning with Arcade GP (see video)
neon quest
As you can see by the bottom left picture of the thumbnail, Namco's helm of the game included Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man and Blinky as playable characters with 2 Pac-Man tracks themed after Pac-Man World 1 and 2
neon quest
shields!? slimy mushrooms!? tf
Ah yes, you noticed that
Arcade GP has the record for having the most items of any MK game sitting at above 100
meager abyss
DK DONKEY KONG
meager abyss
Arcade GP has the record for having the *most items of any MK game* sitting at *...
damn
neon quest
Many wacky items that never made it into a "mainline" MK game
Except one.
Only ONE Arcade GP item has made it's way into a main MK game
meager abyss
which one?
meager abyss
bruhhh
they could have chosen anything
and they chose that
I'd rather have the fucking slimy mushroom
neon quest
Lmao
meager abyss
no clue what it does but it cant be worse
neon quest
That's the issue
The Slimy Mushroom and Thundercloud in Arcade GP do the exact same thing
meager abyss
I really set myself up for this one didnt I?
neon quest
Hell, LOADS of items in Arcade GP do the same thing as one another, just with a different coat of paint
meager abyss
I really set myself up for this one didnt I?
neon quest
They just worsen your handling and that's it
meager abyss
oh thats boring
neon quest
Yeahhh
HOWEVER
Do not fret
Because about 4 years later came a sequel that fixed this issue!
I introduce to you: Mario Kart Arcade GP 2!
meager abyss
Castle of Cake looks epic
neon quest
Think of Arcade GP 2 as a "fixed" Arcade GP
The item number has greatly decreased, albeit still being in the 70s
But now, the game is a LOT more advanced in content
That Castle of Cake track is one of 4 new tracks
Being named Yoshi Park 1
It is now the 1st track in the game being in the "Yoshi Cup" with it's associated track "Yoshi Park 2" which actually uses elements from Luigi's Mansion!
slate orbit
they should put zelda in the next game
neon quest
they should put zelda in the next game
MK8 proved that they have no idea how to make a Zelda themed track lmao
meager abyss
I kinda liked the zelda themed track but ye it really isnt very good
meager abyss
I mean they got rupees and bats and shit but yeah although its zelda themed its not zelda like
neon quest
EXACTLY
Took the words right out of my mouth
They just made a field and castle and said "ok, let's just shove some Zelda references here and there"
LIKE COME ONNN
YOU CAN DO SO MUCH BETTERR
LOOK AT ANIMAL CROSSING
(I don't like that track either, but that's besides the point)
Animal Crossing went ALL-OUT with the design and aesthetics
neon quest
PLUS the seasonal changes
meager abyss
They should do more of that
neon quest
And the fact they ACTUALLY IMPLEMENTED SOMETHING FROM THE SERIES THEY WERE PULLING FROM
The F-Zero tracks
Holy SHIT
Absolute MASTERCLASS of crossover design tracks
Mute City and Big Blue just do their jobs so damn well to the point I call Big Blue the best track in MK history
meager abyss
Imo if they make a new zelda track they should remodel the boomerang, bomb and stuff into the zelda equivalents and actually use a zelda location
slate orbit
## MK8 proved that they have no idea how to make a Zelda themed track lmao
nonono
just zelda herself
as a character
neon quest
Yeah, I have never played a Zelda game, but they can do SO MUCH better
neon quest
nonono
just zelda herself
as a character
Could do lmao, but I doubt it
I think they've seen people concerned about MK transforming into Nintendo Kart
So they'll probably tone down the crossover aspect
meager abyss
Botw was my first zelda and became one of my fav games of all time I would reccomend playing it if you like open world exploration
slate orbit
also we should get a Splatoon track that takes you through the three hub worlds as one big lap
neon quest
True
Id really like the inklings to stay
They are such a fun addition
Hell, I'd say the same for Isabelle and Village Girl
meager abyss
give us octolings more styles for the inklings maybe even a couple idols as playable characters
Imagine cruising around as BIG MAN
neon quest
Fuck you Villager Boy your design sucks
slate orbit
remember when they had inkling girl originally be offensive with her trick taunt
neon quest
Oh yeah lmao
My choices for crossover characters are ROB, Kirby, Sonic and Captain Falcon
And the Splatoon idols
THAT WOULD BE SO FUN
slate orbit
sonic-
neon quest
Yeah, Sonic is definitely the black sheep here
slate orbit
OR NO SHADOW

Ever since Rosalina's reveal for Smash 4, people have been wanting Kirby in MK
Hell, even SAKURAI HIMSELF

About the video you sent in media board comeback who would you like to see in MK?

Remember yesterday when we were talking about the Mario Kart Arcade GP games?
meager abyss
Ye
neon quest
In Arcade GP 2, alongside Waluigi, there was a 2nd new character that is one of my favourites in the entire series
Just watch this, you'll see who it is!
meager abyss
This one?
neon quest
MY CHILD
That creature right there is none other than Mametchi from the Tamagotchi games!
neon quest
Lil history lesson for ya
meager abyss
https://youtu.be/BIP_auYYyIk?si=_MbkiHh86GQ7NOej
Also I was not ready to see blinky lmao
neon quest
Before Arcade GP 2 was a thing, Namco and Bandai had the combination process where they became Bandai Namco. Due to this, Namco now had the rights to use various toys that Bandai had made. At the time of Arcade GP 2's release (2007), Tamagotchis were MASSIVE in mainstream media, so it made sense to go along with the trend and Mametchi was put into Arcade GP 2 as probably the most obscure Mario Kart character ever
neon quest
Also I was not ready to see blinky lmao
I have no idea what the hell they did to Blinky lmao
meager abyss
Before Arcade GP 2 was a thing, Namco and Bandai had the combination process whe...
Ohhh thats cool
neon quest
Yeah! And as we said yesterday, Arcade GP 2 is LITERALLY just the first game but better in every way
And I mean LITERALLY, they both run on the same hardware and use the exact same engine and graphics lmao
meager abyss
An obscure character I would like to see in mario kart is these guys
neon quest
TRUE
meager abyss
And I mean LITERALLY, they both run on the same hardware and use the exact same ...

An obscure character I would like to see in mario kart is these guys
I just love their designs

There was a 3rd entry in the Arcade GP series that is definitely the best, you may've even seen it in some arcades
quasi wedge
Yap session
meager abyss
I cant say I have been to many arcades
neon quest
Well, allow me to introduce to you the SECOND weirdest MK character
Here is the 2nd latest entry in the series, Mario Kart Arcade GP DX!
neon quest
DON-CHAN MY BELOVED
meager abyss
And then fusion karts!?
neon quest
Yep! They basically ripped-off Crash Tag Team Racing lmao-
meager abyss
Drive a modified fucking tank that shoots turtle carcasses at high speed!
This is a family game!
meager abyss
It looks fun tho
neon quest
As you can see in the trailer, Mario Kart 7's glider and underwater sections made their way into the game
meager abyss
They should honestly add like a juggernaut mode to mk now that I think of it
neon quest
Yeah, but you gotta have 2 players to do it unfortunately
meager abyss
Its like 1 juggernaut and the rest of the players are all on the same team so their stuff all targets the juggernaut
But the juggernaut has like resistance to it and the fucking tank turret ofc
And its like faster
neon quest
Yeah, in DX, you can choose ANY kart as any character
... In Japan.
Yeah, weird thing about Arcade GP DX is that the cabinets have ditched the Triforce Engine and now run on online servers
This means that Arcade GP DX was able to receive updates with new characters, karts and items
meager abyss
Huh!?
neon quest
Hell, TO THIS DAY, Arcade GP DX is still adding new content, adding Waluigi to the game only a few months ago
4 new tracks were added to the game too
Those being PAC-MAN Stadium, NAMCO Circuit, Bananan Labyrinth and DK Jungle
meager abyss
Damn
neon quest
I bring this up because foreign cabinets to Japan never actually got the later updates
The last update the European and American versions got was with Bananan Labyrinth and DK Jungle being added
We're also stuck with having to randomise our combos as we have no control
meager abyss
How good are you in mario kart comeback?

Top 0.1% in Wii Rainbow Road 200cc

But are you like the person who knows and does all the shortcuts perfectly?
Or a filthy casual like me?
Or somewhere inbetween?

I see so where does that put you?

Also, there was a 4th entry in Arcade GP but nobody cares about it because it's so obscure

Im the person who didnt give a shit about kart combos and just drove Toad in whatever looked good

Play on one of the worst tracks of the game by the looks of it

idk how or why but somehow my dad almost always wins on that track
I mean he'd still lose the other 3 rounds but somehow he always wins on that one

This is what I have at the moment lmao
neon quest
WAIT WHAT
I'M IN AN ONLINE LOBBY RIGHT NOW AND THERE'S PEOPLE PLAYING FROM CYPRUS
I HAVE NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE
I have never raced against someone from Cyprus before
It's always been either France, America or Japan with the odd European country here and there
heady knoll
People in Cyprus do play video games, confirmed
neon quest
Lmao, I'm mostly meaning I've just never played against anyone from Cyprus!
Dunno why Cyprus specifically, I've just never seen the flag before
heady knoll
Oh my, never even seen the flag. A funny way to learn about it
heady knoll
It's a pretty small country tbf
slate orbit
i don't even know what their flag looks like so o cant say if ive played with anyone from there or not
heady knoll
neon quest
Yeah, I've never seen this flag
slate orbit
oh I've seen that one in mk a few times
heady knoll

# I AM A GOD
double kill.
-halo 3 announcer
neon quest
YEEE
I deserved that too
I damn well knew they had mushrooms and were taking the massive shortcut
That's why I knew to shoot for the farthest right path because it's the fastest for coming out of the shortcut
Going for the jump would launch them into the wall or into an awkward position and going left out of the shortcut would be a rather bad move
So they only had one choice
slate orbit
death
neon quest
Yep
Go for the right path where they would be greeted with a Bob-omb to the face
I did have a slight suspicion they would've lagged through the bomb, but Bob-ombs in online play barely ever miss
slate orbit
once again
slate orbit
it isnt mario party comeback
meager abyss
Wdym it isnt mario party?
neon quest
Funny you say that
slate orbit
you don't need every character
neon quest
4 of the new characters I'd like are Mario Party reps lmao
meager abyss
Doesnt MK always have more characters then MP?
neon quest
Sometimes and mostly
meager abyss
Mario Party's roster always seem sosmall
neon quest
Because NDCube can't make games Anyway, yes, 89 characters lmao
And I actually found out
Damn, Double Dash had the most new characters, even beating TOUR
Oh, and the babies are gone
Except Mario and Luigi because Baby Mario and Baby Luigi are cool
meager abyss
But what characters?
meager abyss
Oh, and the babies are gone
W
meager abyss
Except Mario and Luigi because Baby Mario and Baby Luigi are cool
L
Babies should be like echo fighters if they do appear
Like the alternate colors for yoshi
neon quest
meager abyss
Donkey Kong JR!? BLINKY!?!
neon quest
Yep
neon quest
Whos don chan?
The drum fella from Arcade GP DX
neon quest
And eyerok and bullies?
Eyerok and the Bullies are in the list for MKDS Mission Mode rep lmao
Seeing Eyerok as a racer would be really cool
neon quest
LETS GOO BIG MAN
(And the Splatoon idols would be a really fun addition)
meager abyss
agreed
neon quest
Also, the Miis
I think it'd be a good idea to reintroduce Mii Outfit A and B
WITH an additional one that was actually cut from Wii presumably last minute
meager abyss
My only questions
Its hard to imagine these in carts
Its the smash thing all over again
Whomp is too big for MK
neon quest
Yeah, the bigger characters are definitely just there for the funny lmao
meager abyss
Who would you main from your roster?
meager abyss
Who that
meager abyss
Ohhh
neon quest
I would main him to DEATH
meager abyss
I'd main big man
neon quest
Yeah the Splatoon idols would be really cool to see
But then you'd have people complaining "OH MY GOD WASTED SLOTS!!!!! THERE'S TOO MANY SPLATOON IDOLS!!!!"
But nah, they'd just be ignored lmao
Out of the idols, I'd definitely main Marina
meager abyss
But then you'd have people complaining "OH MY GOD WASTED SLOTS!!!!! THERE'S TOO ...
I think more people would be complaining about having both boss bully and chief bully and robo mario and stuff
How big was mk8d roster?
neon quest
NAH ROBO MARIO WOULD BE COOL AS HELL
Such an obscure character that was actually a BOSS CHARACTER akin to Eyerok and the Bullies
He was the boss/challenge of the Rainbow Cup
neon quest
2 floating hands!
meager abyss
Mario Kart had boss battles!?!?
neon quest
Found in the depths of Shifting Sand Land's pyramid
YEAH
MARIO KART DS' MISSION MODE
meager abyss
Bruh sounds like mk ds has more content then 8 deluxe
neon quest
I'd definitely recommend checking out MKDS' Mission Mode
Such a fun idea that fans have been begging for to return in another game
And it actually did!!!!
Sorta.
meager abyss
How did it return?
neon quest
So, another bit of MK history
Mario Kart Wii
Wayyyy back in the ancient times of 2008, Mario Kart Wii had online play, as you know
Right at the start of MKWii's lifespan, Nintendo hosted what was known as the "Tournament" mode
It was essentially MKDS' Mission Mode, only now, every Tournament challenge was an online tournament
Your time was recorded and put online for friends and strangers to compete against
And, as found by hackers, MKWii was actually going to have a DESIGNATED MISSION MODE
Some missions can be played albeit with a glitchy and incomplete menu
meager abyss
Rip
neon quest
Implying that Mission Mode in single-player mode was planned to be in MKWii, but was scrapped last minute
The Tournament missions, however, have actually been archived by hackers and are available to play
The most interesting artifact of Tournament mode was a unique boss fight
It's super interesting, definitely give it a YouTube search when you've got the chance
neon quest
The cart also exists as a kart in Tour too lmao
meager abyss
And its most broken kart in the game
Fuck I need to play Tour
I'd play tour if it was on console tbh
neon quest
SJDGKA
THAT'S
THAT'S LITERALLY THE ONE AND ONLY REASON I HATE TOUR
IF IT WAS ON CONSOLE, IT WOULD BE A THOUSAND TIMES BETTER
meager abyss
Its one of many for me
neon quest
BUT NO, THEY HAD TO MAKE IT A FUCKING MOBILE GAME
meager abyss
Ye
neon quest
Thank god it's dead and MK9 can exist in the next millennium or two
meager abyss
Is it dead?
neon quest
Yep
The final Tour was sometime last year
Now they're just repeating old tours in a cycle
meager abyss
Ah okay
Would you rather have had a f2p mk console game that has scummy monetization but gets updated like tour and has a huge roster or just like mk8d
neon quest
Nope
meager abyss
So basically like tour but console or mk8d
neon quest
When I buy an MK game, I damn well expect the ENTIRE EXPERIENCE given to me
On the day I buy it
That's another reason I don't like Tour
You had to actually WAIT TO PLAY
You couldn't just start going, you had to bloody WAIT
meager abyss
Wait wdym?
neon quest
MKTour, you had to wait for Tours to be added
Which would often times take up to WEEKS AT A TIME
neon quest
SOMEONE IS ACTUALLY TURNING A TRACK CONCEPT I MADE INTO A MARIO KART CUSTOM TRACK AAAAAAA
neon quest
YEEEEE
IT'S SO COOL
I'VE BEEN WAITING OVER 10 YEARS FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO HAPPEN
slate orbit
I'VE BEEN WAITING OVER 10 YEARS FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO HAPPEN

neon quest

meager abyss
whats this?
neon quest
So, the 3DS and Wii U server were terminated a while back
meager abyss
ye
neon quest
And there's still people playing in active rooms
The only way they can be kicked off the servers is if their rooms crash or they just leave
These guys have been at it for 3 months
That means they've CONTINUOUSLY played SMM and MK7 for 3 whole months
meager abyss
thats sad
neon quest
Yeah
BUT
Like the Wiimfi of before, there is Pretendo
A WIP substitute for the 3DS and Wii U's online
meager abyss
is it legal?
meager abyss
do you need to do anything too your console for it?
neon quest
Just download it from a store you download when hacking a console and you're good to go
meager abyss
Struggling with what else to put on my roster wishlist
I scrapped more then I could fill lmao
meager abyss
Who?
neon quest
WHERE'S DRY BOWSER
slate orbit

meager abyss
In my vision dry bowser would just be a selectable outfit for bowser
Like the yoshi colors
slate orbit

neon quest
In my vision dry bowser would just be a selectable outfit for bowser
Something about that
slate orbit
we need toad colours
neon quest
When you beat the BCP in MK8D, when the credits finish, there's a picture of some of the characters in the game
I saw SOME because all the clone characters are gone
Babies and Tanooki/Cat, stuff like that
And Dry Bowser is still there
meager abyss
I saw SOME because all the clone characters are gone
As they should be
neon quest
My man is a man of his OWN
meager abyss
Is dry bowser not just dehydrated bowser tho?
slate orbit
Is dry bowser not just dehydrated bowser tho?

meager abyss
Boring af
slate orbit
HE'S PARAKOOPA
neon quest
IMAGINE IF WE GOT BLUE SHELL PARATROOPA
meager abyss
Okay that would be kinda cool
neon quest
YEAH
Another character deserving of a spot is E Gadd
Such an odd character in relation to MK
slate orbit
gooigi
meager abyss
E gadd is alr
meager abyss
Def not on my wishlist tho
neon quest
In beta versions of Mario Kart DS, there exists files and sprites of him
slate orbit

meager abyss

meager abyss

I've actually pondered this for a while, and Madz brought it up in his video:
What would a Pikmin rep look like
meager abyss
Its just toad in a cool costume but thats enough for me
meager abyss
I've actually pondered this for a while, and Madz brought it up in his video:
*...
Red pikmin for mk
Just a singular one
slate orbit
I've actually pondered this for a while, and Madz brought it up in his video:
*...
the kart can be the dolphin
olimar and louie as racers
the pellets from the flowers as wheels
and a ton of pikmin as the glider
meager abyss
Im surpised neither of you is upset with me scrapping petey piranha and replacing it with regular piranha plant
neon quest
Olimar is the main driver who is accompanied by 3 random Pikmin who change per race (I.E. one race could have red, yellow and blue, the next could have yellow, purple and rock), and the Pikmin hold the items and throw/use them
slate orbit
Im surpised neither of you is upset with me scrapping petey piranha and replacin...

slate orbit
~~I'd like to see Hammer Bro too lmao~~
get sumo bro fuck hammer bro
neon quest
True, but I just want him because he was a scrapped character from Wii
It's why so many people freaked out when he was put in Tour
Very similar to what happened when Kamek got put in the game
Another character I'd wanna see put in the game
And I know this is gonna be really obscure
Koopa Kid
neon quest
Oh god
Yes! This fella was basically Bowser Jr before Bowser Jr was even a thing
He was Bowser's main lackey in the Mario Party series
neon quest
Nope
In fact, he's been missing for nearly 20 years
Made his first appearances in the first Mario Party, released in 1998
In his earlier appearances, he was known as "Baby Bowser"
His name was changed to Koopa Kid when he appeared in Mario Party 4
From then onwards, he continued to appear in Mario Party games consistently, even in the often-forgotten Mario Party Advance
His final appearance was with Mario Party 7
Released in 2005
Ever since, he has never appeared, or has even been MENTIONED by Nintendo
In Mario Party games post 8, he was replaced by Bowser Jr
