Tried mario kart 8 first time today.
It feels a bit weird, like there are magnets sometimes adjusting you. I don't know if I'm imagining things.
Also I think there were sometimes invisible walls. Like grass area that you'd think you can boost through but sometimes it would just bump. Really weird

turn off smart steering.

I assume that's some sort of driving helper? Oh well I'll check it out later thanks. Weird if those type of stuff is automatically enabled

it's enabled by default for some retarded reason, same with auto accelerate

What's wrong with auto accelerate?

there's probably some moments where you don't want to accelerate

It's sometimes useful (mainly for 200cc circuits) to let go of acceleration and "pump" it to go around nasty turns than outright hitting the brake button.

I always hated kart parts. Takes away from the characterization of characyers with regards to gameplay and adds an unneceasary complexity. Anyone who wanta to compete ia going to google the optimal builds anyway

there are two (or three) kiddy options defaulted to ON but if you're in a race, press start and you'll see those options with a button corresponding to turn it on/off. I'd google what each one means.

>2022
>they won't just port the metric ton of costumes from Tour to 8, even for money

Okay found the smart steering setting. Seems more fluid now. Was thinking earlier that I can't be that good that don't even hit walls, but now it's fixed and i'm hitting walls sometimes

Nice fanfic. Underage moron. You were like 5 when MK8 first came out

I would unironically buy a booster character pass. I just want my bro Diddy back

>tfw I had to turn on auto steering for some 200cc races
Made me feel very casual.

>Characters include Pauline
When will they make Baby Pauline a playable character?

They're saving that for the next brand new Mario Kart obviously.

200cc isn't designed for human players

Everything cosmetic should not have stats attached to them. It's fucking non sense that a fat character makes your kart magically go faster anyway

Reverse 150cc?

Stop lying to people.

Miyamoto just flew over my house

So that's where you live

Negative speed. Pressing a makes you go backwards.

>Reverse 150cc mode
This wouldn't work on a large number of courses. It would need to be it's own cup(s) with curated tracks that work best in it.

>Reverse 150cc
what the fuck does this mean?

character and kart models are way lower quality compared to 8's but then so are the maps, so I guess they could port them, they've already fucked the game so who cares I guess

Some of these 200cc tracks suddenly got much more trickier lmao.
Anyway weird that mario kart still doesn't have single player campaign. Something like in diddy kong racing and crash team racing. Hell even those sonic racing games have some sort of campaign

>No R.O.B.
Fake and gay.

They're not going to do Tour's Reverse mode, it'd require drastically reprogramming several tracks.

This. Unless each track is modified slightly for this mode, which is probably more effort than it's worth.

It's a thing from Tour where you drive on the tracks backwards.

8's courses are abso-fucking-loutely not designed for it work.

>They're going to add this stuff, but not costumes
Uh huh.
