For me? Itโs Explorer Baby Daisy in the Mach Rocket.
You should be using different weights and karts/bikes for different modes.
Twin V chopper / King Boo for Grand Prix
Twin V or Reel Racer / Donkey Kong or Bowser for Knockout Tour
Why are you waiting for me to tell you any more modes? these are the only ones worth playing.
Unlocking costumes is the only bad thing about this game. I literally just start up free roam, go to a food stand, and then keep swapping characters until everyone has eaten.

I love Daisyโs racing outfit. It making her ass fat as fuck is a bonus
>>712347590Don't do this
>>712347682 it's total RNG and can take hours
Best way to do it is set up a 2 player vs race using two controllers. Set no coms. And just farm double item blocks until you get the item. Game has anti-bagging mechanics so you need to kill yourself after every time box. Also kamek only shows up when you are about 5-7 seconds behind 1st. If you see Boo and the ice flower then you're in the same item tier as kamek
Why the fuck would anyone play as the baby characters

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nose_ring_(animal)
>A nose ring is inserted into the nose of an animal. Nose rings are used to control bulls and occasionally cows, and to help wean young cattle by preventing suckling. Nose rings are used on pigs to discourage rooting. Some nose rings are installed through a pierced hole in the nasal septum or rim of the nose and remain there, while others are temporary tools.

>>712349791Speed seems underpowered in this game and Acceleration is really nice since you're constantly getting hit with items in Knockout Tour. Interestingly enough most of the meta combos people have been coming up with have had balanced stats.

>>712345226 (OP)>started consciously going on rails/walls more often>get gangbanged by items a LOT less, even in middle of the pack spots like 5th-20thPeople should really get more comfortable sacrificing a bit of speed for consistency online, not very many players are comfortable taking rail grind or wall running lines yet so there's a LOT less shit going on there and you can often pull ahead even without boosting items. This goes especially for tracks with a shitton of emphasis on walls and rails like Great ? Ruins and Sky-High Sundae
>>712360263it's fun
you can use multiple directional tricks for movement to line yourself up for shortcuts and stuff

>That filename
Don't take the bait lmao
>>712363979I love how 1 single item can take you from virtually dead-last to being a frontronner of the race.
Another huge problem is the rubber banding in this game is tremendously strong so the pack is always very tight together which amplifies the power of speed items on your placement .
>>712363979yes and I wouldn't have it any other way it's my only hope of getting high positions online
>Whole selling point is the open world, and yet there's nothing to do in it aside from meaningless "fly through the hoops" or "collect the coins" activities that aren't even tracked
>No multiplayer online free roam
>Grand prix requires you to drive between circuits on a long straight road which counts as 2 laps before you get to the actual course where you only race 1 lap
I like MK, but I really don't understand the appeal of this game. It seems like they wanted to innovate, but all we got was some half baked open world, & boring, straight highways between tracks.
Game suffers from the same issue splatoon 3 has: It's trying to accommodate for too many different modes
In splatoon 3 tricolor turf wars ruined the level design
This game was clearly designed around the knockout mode. So if you want to play regular 3 lap races, you have to pick random in the roulette
The issue with that is the items were designed around the straight sections, which is why all the mushrooms are so god damn strong. Not to mention the blue shell is way more common
>>712366913Also forgot, almost all of the rails and wallrides are slower than driving normally, which some exceptions
>>712363173>pipe frame>soullessFag detected
>>712367227That's not true. Rail riding is faster for lightweight characters than driving normally.
>>712351172Really nice art
>>712367227This is just blatantly false what the fuck are you tal-
Oh you're baiting.
lol
>>712348930ITS AWWWRIGHT!
How do cucks enjoy 8 more?
kek, everyone is picking "random" so they can actually do a 3 lap race
Wario + Steam engine train bike
>>712348775>Game has anti-bagging mechanics so you need to kill yourself after every time box.What does this mean?
>>712348930I liked Baby Luigi as a kid because I beat Yoshi's Island before playing MK for the first time, so when I saw Baby Luigi in DD, I felt like unlocking a deep secret since I just spent weeks rescuing him.
I love watching time trials and I really want to play even if just for that, I've had it unopened for a week now debating if I should return it or not. I'm only on the fence because I could use the money for other hobbies that are more productive. I don't know what I'm supposed to do
Rocky Wrench with bullet bill kart. That's his name? I always liked those guys designs in SMB3, but never thought of what they were called until I got him.
>>712368053>muh productivity hobbiesnigga you can still do both
>>712367881If you grab the same item box twice in a row you'll pull from a different, weaker, item pool than normal. Basically, it's preventing you from camping at a single set of items until you pull the items you want.
Knockout tour is FUN AS FUCK
I just got 2nd, my best showing ever.
>>712362775It's actually only big guy for SOME Time Trials. Since Rail Grinding speed is uniform and the optimal lines to get on certain rails is incredbly tight, characters like Toadette and Para Biddybud hold the current WRs for grind-heavy courses like Acorn Heights and Great ? Block Ruins
>>712367778Pretty based to be honest
>>712368980 Based and kartpilled. Nothing beats the adrenaline of scraping through those last few eliminations and clutching a podium. KO Tour actually brought back that sweaty local tourney couch feel. What track did you end on? I swear, if it was Shroom Ridge, you're a god.
What is the best stat and why is it acceleration?
>>712347735>Sultan Wario B instead of S
Am I the only one to despise the Spiny Rally? These two shitty narrow first laps with NO items and NO coins to collect, and NO shortcuts so making a comeback is just imposible. And the online keeps picking this shit.
>>712360613What faggot country do you live in where Mario Kart costs "like a hundred dollars"?
>>712368196No. When you're an adult, you're not allowed to have fun or joy in your life anymore. You should slave away 20 hours a day to support your ugly, nagging roastie wife and her nigspawn from her previous relationship. Any time away from work should be either spent in the gym or taking your wife out to restaurants/stores.
>>712366840Why does it need a point? Like, did you never play mk64 as a kid? Anyone who did remembers Royal Raceway and being able to drive around Peach's Castle and wanting that as a game.
MKW is that game. And I love it. The p switches, ? panels, and peach medalions are just the cherry on top.
I also love how it's all connected, Grand Prix and Knockout both. It's fun and shows they could easily add in new cups just by adding new routes.
Not gonna lie, I'm really not into this game. The open world is really boring and the races don't really require technical skill. Plus the discussions are nothing but console wars, sales discussion and porn dumps.
>>712369267It was Cloud Rally, the one where you start blasted off into the sky
I like the 3 lap tracks, but the knockout mode is shit. The golden being overpowered basically incentivises you not to compete for 1st. Get to 20 coins, mill items until you get a golden, use it on the final 4 to skip half the lap and win.
>>712362126>Not making them challenge races in each area you get them in as Kamek instead to give some incentive to free-roam.Stupid decision, tbqh.
I'm glad they removed mii avatars and region flags. They were annoying to look at in high level rooms, in the older games
Is there anything you unlock behind doing time trials or getting 3 stars in grand prix/knockout tour? I already unlocked mirror mode.
>>712369968You would think that with the open world being the whole theme of the game, they'd really go all out with it & make it more of a central online hub with activities, etc.
>>712371735>He isn't ready for the seasonal DLCs
>>712370285Not like regular races incentivize it. Bagging is the only consistent strat. Everything else boils down to hoping you don't get item raped in the last turn.
>>712347735how are you supposed to unlock costumes?
>>712372721Use the food. In free roam you can go to Shyguy Bazaar and immediately go right after entering. There's a lot of different food stands there. You can farm plenty of costumes for a start.
>>712363979Only in sections with lots of turns with dirt or grass to skip over
>>712371875Basically this. It's stopped being fun now. I'm even bagging and still getting item rated. Then there's 3 laps tracks which just aren't made for 24 racers. You can't gain any momentum before you're item raped. My controller didn't stop rumbling throughout the whole course.
Shit game. And I have 7950 MMR score.
i really like this game bros but why is the leaderboard so bad? it only shows like top 10 and then skips to my rank without any rank numbers at all
>>712367778Didn't realize this. I'll have to do it in the future
>>712369968>did you never play mk64 as a kid? Anyone who did remembers Royal Raceway and being able to drive around Peach's Castle and wanting that as a game.Not that anon but that's what I always wanted and why I got world in the first place despite not really liking mario kart
>>712371735Oh they'll most definitely wind up expanding on the feature later on. My hopes is setting up larger free roam groups, cause the game is screaming for one of those hide and seek style games like people did in the academy dlc for pokemon SV.
>one costume for Donkey Kong
>one costume for Paulene
>no Diddy and co.
Really obvious they're gonna drop DK characters and costumes around when Bananza comes out as a promotional thing
What kind of lifetime updates and events do you think World is gonna get?
For me itโs construction worker Wario.
>>712372721The dash food from Yoshi's. Each region has its own type of food. You can get it by just racing but if you want to get them immediately just pick a character, go to free roam, and look for the yoshi buildings, stand, and food trucks. If you want the course characters you have to race and pray that the cpu/online players get the magikoopa item in specific areas. Good luck.
>>712373204>And I have 7950 MMR scorelmao
>>712373893What's funny. I know it's not high but it's not really low either.
man I hate how luigi sounds now
>>712373602>Zelda stuff for Zelda's 40th anniversary next year>Splatoon and Animal Crossing stuff come Splatoon 4/Animal Crossing New Whatever sometime in the Switch 2's lifespan>probably just some more legacy Mario stuff come Mario's 40th anniversary around September
>>712373893NTA, but honestly I'm at 8753 and it's just not fun. 24 players is entirely too many racers. The first two laps feel entirely pointless because it comes down to who gets the best items in the end. Oh, and you better hope you predicted the lightning correct because you'll lose all your items and your entire gameplan for coming back. I fee far less in control of how I place than ever, and very often I feel like I didn't actually win because skill.
>Rosalina
>Pipe frame
I am a simple man.
>>712346125That stance doesn't make any sense
>>712345226 (OP)This game is driving me fucking insane. I donโt know what Iโm doing wrong. I always manage to end the race in the middle of the pack. Iโve front run for the first two laps and then I just get fucking raped by a billion projectiles at the last second. It feels like skill isnโt very important in this game
>>712374253I hate Luigi period.

Uh oh bros. Mario Kart World may be casual garbage unlike MK8. Was he right?

It's that webm but instead of an isolated incident it happens to someone every single race.
They really did charge $80 for a time trial sim.
>>712375398Really, it's the blue shell and lighting that suck to deal with. But at the same time, that's Mario Kart as a whole, that shit was in 7 through 8DX too. I would at least get it if they were talking from the context of DS or Wii.
Completely nuke bagging as a strategy
Make it so you only have one item slot
Add 200cc
Make it so that the routes that take more skill are faster than just fucking holding A
>>712375468BUY A FUCKING AD
>>712375694There is zero planning consistency in this game. Sure you can PLAN to save this mushroom for the final turn before the finish line, or you can PLAN to use a red shell for first place over a pit to overtake them. But guess what, oh there's Lightning. Oh well. Enjoy falling into the pit with them and ending up in 18th place.
>>712375694>ERM WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU EXPECTED TO WIN JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE IN FIRST PLACE AND ARE DRIVING BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE, IM ACTUALLY BETTER BECAUSE I GOT A LUCKY ITEM COMBO AT THE LAST SECOND How is this fun?
"150cc" more like "you better hold on to that fucking super horn"
>>712376583In this case, the pros all use bagging strats rather than attempting to drive the course. So they still win, because they're using the best strategy. Which happens to be exploiting a broken game.
>>712345226 (OP)I've played Wario since 64 and I will continue to play Wario.
Mario's alternate outfits are cool but I'm surprised we never got any tuxedo/suit Mario but shit those'd probably be one of the first in the post-launch update pipelines.
>>712376968Game issue. This is why all the people that actually like Mario kart are already going back to 8. Youโre going to be stuck with dogshit casuals and 8 years old that donโt know what makes a game good
>>712376375If there's one thing they really need to do, it's buff the charge jump, specifically the higher level ones. There's a reason to do the basic charge jump just because it allows for certain skips, but the red and rainbow ones suck ass because they slow you down for too long and don't give a big enough boost to compensate.
>>712377167>people can't git gud, so they run back to a worse gameOk.
>>712377261Youโre just baiting at this point
There were complaints about item spam in MK8 but it was generally agreed upon that if one gets good enough to front run it wouldn't be an issue. With World it feels like most people hate the cluster fuck of items. It's especially bad in tunnels. You better hope you have some invincibility to make it through them alive. I was watching a 9.4K "pro player" the other night and he was bagging. He even got put into rooms with 7K players and wouldn't win consistently because he got shit luck with items. At the very least, he was consistent with his short cuts but even he seemed annoyed with item spam.
>>712377307No more than everyone whining about how new game isn't exact copy of old game and how taking a lead isn't an instant win anymore.
https://www.twitch.tv/vantox_
Behold the 9k players.
>>712376583I mean it is generally more fun if the same player doesn't just win every time. In the sense it's less fun for that one player but more fun for everyone else.
Your skill should still have some say in the game though and not end up being exploiting the game design like
>>712376873 says.
You are playing Mario Kart World.
The race was hard fought, but you made it to first place in the final lap. The race is almost over and your lead is commanding. You see a blue shell approaching, but you are not worried. "I have a Super Horn, I'm safe" you think to yourself as you watch a ghost rip it from your hands and laugh in your face. The finish line is in sight. You get hit by the blue shell. Followed by a red shell. And another red shell. And another red shell. You finish 15th.
You are playing Mario Kart World.
Finally, after 11 attempts trying to 3-star Heart Rally at 150 cc, you maintained a lead through the whole race, at every checkpoint. It is the final lap. You drove like a pro using Bowser, the fastest character in the game, driving the fastest car available with 20 coins. All your drift and jump boosts were optimal, your racing line immaculate. You took every shortcut. You can see the finish line approaching. "Finally, my practice, perseverance and skilled driving payed off" you think to yourself as you helplessly watch a tiny AI controlled baby, driving a motorized boom box, overtake you on the final straight despite the stat discrepancy and your top speed. You'll have to try again, you think, as you hold in a scream of frustration.
You are playing Mario Kart World.
The race begins, you intentionally do not boost-start. You purposely hang back in 24th place, rerolling items until you get a golden mushroom and a bullet bill. You don't touch the R-button once, don't drift, pull off no tricks and drive like a 3-year old who has never played Mario Kart. You stay in the back of the race deliberately. During the second half of the final lap, you finally unload your items and effortlessly cut through the competition. You finish in first place seconds ahead of the runner up. They stood no chance. You smile a fake smile and tell yourself "I really fought hard for that win, what an accomplishment it was! A true test of skill!"
>>712377526>Is getting raped all >complains about intermissions and getting destroyed by items>manages to get 7th just spamming mushroomsFun.

Watch the first 4 minutes. The guy is in an 8-9k VR room. He drives absolutely horribly for 70% of the race, at some points driving with one hand and not looking at the screen. But he gets a golden mushroom at the last second and gets 2nd place. I just donโt understand how anyone could defend this.

>>712378475If there's one thing I noticed about playing it, there feels like a sweetspot where you want to be somewhat ahead, but not too ahead. Bagging too hard in knockout tour leaves you at the mercy of the rest of the pack with god items. I tried staying behind and got fucking assraped. Second match where I tried to stay in a decent placement, I did way better.
My only issue with items is that blue shells feel way too common and too punishing. At least when it comes to stuff like red shells, if you get a double item box in first you'll ALWAYS get something to protect yourself with since you can't get double coins, but with blue shells you're just fucked unless you get EXTREMELY lucky and roll a super horn. If blue shells were limited to once per race, then at least you'd be able to know when you're safe to start frontrunning again.
That said the tracks themselves completely mog 8 in terms of design, holy fuck I hated how 8's tracks barely had any shortcuts or alternate paths, and I hated how weak mushrooms were in that game. Golden shrooms are busted here but I'm fine with it, at least using those requires you to still drive decently to catch up instead of turning your brain off like 8's bullet bills.
>>712378263Literally look at the best Mario kart players in the world playing it. They do nothing for the first two laps and then bag to get lucky item combos
>>712378475>Forced funJesus Christ nintenfags are disgusting.
>>712379128>Best Mario Kart player in the worldLiterally.
Fucking.
Who.
And literally who fucking cares about who a small group of idiots think is the "best" currently?
>>712347590What the FUCK does this mean?
>>712378812I try to hover around 8th in knockout tour. The laps go by so fast that being anywhere further back puts you at serious risk, and being further in front runs the obvious risk of being raped by items. The structure of the mode itself is a bagging deterrent which I think is great.
The hardest parts are always the last two segments. Catching whoever is in first from even 4th place can be a bitch.
>>712378780>spamming goldshrooms on straights is too high of a skill ceilingjust give up on multiplayer games blud
>>712379038I think people are severely underestimating the dash food. I haven't seen anyone talk about it outside of costume stuff, but it feels like an item meant entirely for frontrunners. If you're lower than first you likely have no use for a mushroom but worse.
>>712379254hazard characters like peepa, fish bone, and cataquack
>>712350387Liking a character =/= Recognizing their high-quality and importance
Not clamoring for him but he's a better character than piranha plant and would make the game better if he were included instead or at least alongside him.
>>712377526Extremely painful to watch
>23th with boomerang>instead of using it on a guy right in front of him>keep it and throw it BEHIND right before taking a double item box>get bullet bill and golden mushroom>immediately use bullet bill on multiple ground speedboost zone instead of doing it bit later>spam mushroom right after and get to the 6th position>complain he gets fucked later as if he deserved that spot to begin with
>>712363778"Fuck me" -eyes
>>712379038>Golden shrooms are busted here but I'm fine with it, at least using those requires you to still drive decently to catch up instead of turning your brain off like 8's bullet bills.Because 8 had tighter corners to drive. Gold shrooms were weaker because an item that was supposed to help you catch up would just become a crashing liability if the boosts were too powerful. Plus there are still smart ways to go about using bullet bills.
>>712379583The race he just did had like 5 people stop at the first item box and either back up or turn into them to get two items. How can anyone defend this?
Where is Pauline's pantsuit from SMO?
Pauline really got just 2 outfits?

>>712345226 (OP)How fucked is this game with 2 items and 24 racers per race?
It sounds like it would be the most bullshit MK imaginable.
How did they not at least roll back the 2 item shit?

>>712345226 (OP)This thread fully convinced me that bots are the ones making these replies, all of them are exactly the same.
>>712378475I feel like Nintendo knew from the start Grand Prix would suck with 24 players and only kept it out of tradition.
Knockout mode is clearly what the game was balanced around and is largely considered the better way to play.

>>712380551>>712380276Has anyone considered making it so you can carry two items but just removing double boxes? And maybe have it so there are only single boxes but you have a small chance of getting double items from one? (I know, luck in a Mario Kart game, unheard of).
You can allow players to stack items without needing to basically double the item output. Really though the spammable items are the real problem.

>>712375436Do they not know that you can select a course that isnโt a line?

I've seen a couple high rank players say this. Was this Nintendo's intention after MK8?
>bagging was the best strat in MK8
>Nintendo never fix it properly and just make a band aid fix with double item box in MK8D
>Nintendo don't make any attempts to fix bagging until years down the line when doing the wave DLC and even then the "fix" doesn't work as bagging reigns supreme

>>712381808Not everyone knows that Random is always a normal course, and I wouldn't doubt if some people still don't know that map with arrows pointing to it = Line map.
The big issue, which I assume the video is about since I'm not watching it, is that every time map selection comes up you are almost guaranteed 2 of the choices to be line shit, and a high chance of all 3 being it. It's so fucking stupid. I don't mind doing the lines once in a while but they are trying to force it so fucking hard that it's going to start pissing people off if it hasn't already.
>>712381951>been tryna unlock him for a while>all I get whenever kamek shows up at airship fortress is picrelHe is cute, spike isnโt. Also fuck whoever decided kamek should be the rarest item in the game
I wish charge jumps activated a little faster. They already slow you down and are sub-optimal. Just let us jump faster so accessing walls and rails is a bit easier
>>712383672Solution iโd do is up the options of course selections. 3 intermissions, 3 full-courses
>>712381052If you select the track, you don't get to play the track. You get to play the "drive up to the track", then 1 lap on the track, then "driving away from the track".
Those interlude sections between tracks are horrible and nobody wants to play them. So everyone picks random because it's the only way to actually get a 3 lap race on a specific track.
>>712384059if grinding and wall jumping was going to be such a big part of the game they should have had it on its own button
hopping still on right bumper but jumping for rails and walls on the right trigger or x or something
no charge required
why is there no japanese world record holders are they washed up
>>712383978That's an adult woman

>>712384059I'm fine with the regular jump taking some time, but you'd think for the time it takes to charge, the red and rainbow spark charge jump wouldn't suck complete ass.
How long before the "pros" abandon this game?
>>712385074Already started happening if youโve been paying attention
>>712385074They already have.
All of them basically stopped the races and started grinding time trials. Then they slowly stopped doing time trials too.
Max VR is 9999, right?
Iโve only won 2 actual races online but Iโm very consistent in getting top 6 at the very least. Iโve won a lot of knockout tours though.
>>712384930I'm surprised at the difficulty of some of them, it's been a lot of fun driving around and doing them.
so whats the difference between cars and bikes in world?
>>712385440Number of wheels
>>712375468It's poorly thought out. Clearly they didn't have their smart people on this project.

>>712384930I get distracted just driving around and taking pictures. I love this mode so much.
knockout tour is cool but it really shouldn't have been the main mode with no 3-lap GP mode
so what other vehicles besides the blooper are good?
World is great
but some stuff feels clunky and I bet we're in for an MKW Deluxe where they fix most of it

>>712384930Free roam is what I always wanted since mk64. It's not perfect and I wished it was more like a mix of Diddy Kong Racing and Forza Horizon but it's fine as it is.

It's also nice how he isn't some farting meme guy like in Smash and he doesn't have the Warioware costume. Now Nintendo just needs to make a new Wario Land with this design and have Waluigi as a playable character.

>>712390930it's not an extender. it's a mesh system. im thinking of putting a node in my room, essentially having a router very close.

I wonder how they'll do dlc tracks for this game. Supposedly they'd have to make expand the open world and also add connecting roadways. Though maybe they'll be lazy and just add the tracks like previous games.
>>712402548They won't add any dlc tracks. At most they'll just keep adding more outfits and characters, and they'll release an Ultimate or Deluxe edition of the game later with a ton of other tracks
>>712402548the easiest solution is to keep adding more islands with a group of various tracks.

>>712402758when has nintendo ever released an "ultimate/deluxe" edition of a game for the same console it released on? 8DX didn't even launch with any new tracks
>>712402920No new tracks, but it got a revamped battle mode with new battle arenas and even one being a splatoon crossover
I heard a nice remix of the final boss from Yoshi's Island while racing, but I can't find it anywhere online. Feels bad man.
>>712402548I could imagine various worlds with connected tracks. So what we have now would be World 1, and each expansion would be another world with about the same number of tracks.

Also, has anyone who has played this game online feel like the VR system is bugged? I'm currently sitting at around 8700 VR and even consistently placing within the top third of a full lobby often deducts points from me. I know you get far less points for trying to farm players with lower VR, which is a good change, but even in lobbies mostly filled with players with 8000 VR and above I'm still losing points for placing well. Heaven forbid I have a bad race or two where then my VR tanks super hard.

Water Park is my second choice because it needs improvement when it comes to gameplay and obstacles.

>>712412008for me its Shroom Ridge, Mushroom Bridge, Moonview Highway, Toad Harbor, hell Toads Turnpike
The surrounding infrastructure and environment needed for these tracks is probably hell but damnit I don't see a better fucking game to put the maps with ambient traffic in.
also Super Bell Subway
>>712397571>>712398059Knockout mode is fairly luck based too - fun, but very luck based
>>712412951Not nearly as much. Bagging only really works up to top 8. Once more people get eliminated the item chaos significantly drops
>>712413410True that onxe you hit the last 8 and 4 people it's a lot less hectic, but the luck of the gods will still determine your items and what shortcuts are available to you
And if the person in first is very far ahead by the time of the final lap thats basically it, since (i think) no blue shells spawn when it's only 4 left
If you know the course very well and can get shirtcuts in you can maybe pull it back but uts tough
