Mario Kart Wii - Page 2

I've been using the wheel, with manual, the whole time I've been playing. There's nothing wrong with it.

You know why people think the wheel sucks? Because they suck with it. This has been a problem with Wii games since it came out. If someone sucks with motion controls, even if they aren't actually bad, the player calls the game garbage and refuses to believe that they could be bad at it.

Man, the fast staff ghosts in this game are ridiculous. I never would've thought to use the end of the pipe in N64 Mario Raceway as a jump. Thankfully you don't have to beat them to unlock anything. Just the normal staff ghosts, which are easy enough.

don't know if you're referring to me, but I don't exactly think it's bad, just that I'm much more used to the stiffer wheel that the arcade mario kart has.

Also there's no pedal, I'm not used to pressing a button :<

Wheel with buttons instead of pedals?

That sounds wrong.

Works fine unless your a fan of arcade racers I would assume.

The Wii-mote playback seems fine (better than when I used the motion control for NFS Carbon; felt uncomfortable).

Almost as fun as the Arcade Version (Mario Kart Arcade GP 2) and the DS version

Definitely worth the $50. It is hard using the wheel but I'm starting to get used to it. Also rainbow road is crazy. I fell off 5-6 times in the 1st lap.

I REALLY wish there was a replay save option
I had the most amazing comeback ever.

Rosalina + Wario Bike = fappage

*Eggman* · 05-01-2008, 04:34 PM

I always use the Bowser Bike with her. She's probably my favorite character to use. Funky Kong gets an extra speed point though.

Schreibaby-seidon · 05-01-2008, 08:15 PM

I wanted to unlock Daisy but I got Rosalina instead, but for a heavyset character she's pretty damn good. Got all the courses last night!

Decided to play instead of writing a ten page essay that's due in 12 days.

Wii wheel kicks major ass, since it feels like playing Mario Kart Arcade only this one has a better drift and accurate contro, though it does grow on you. Just don't play it on motorcycle though, unless you feel like handling a buttered snake on ice of a characer (ie, Bowser, Waluigi, Wario, etc.). Use Yoshi or a lightweight character for that.

Debut for Baby Daisy! Thoughts?

Just pretend it's the Rainbow Road from the DS version and you should be okay. Better to use just karts and a lightweight character for that course cuz a bike is a slipperly slope of a level!

Rainbow Road on Double Dash is without a doubt he hardest of all Rainbow Roads. :/

Playing as Miis is fucking hilarious...especially "famous" Miis. Rosalina is probably my favorite Mario-related character in the game though. I'm surprised she's on the heavyset end of the roster...but she's really fun to play as.

Also, fuck Rainbow Road in the ass. It's such a cool track when you aren't CONSTANTLY FALLING OFF IT.

Vangulus The Great · 05-02-2008, 01:05 AM

Rosalina is still up there for "best on bike" with Funky Kong.

On a related note, is it true there a few tricks you can't do with the gamecube controller? And if so do they mean anything towards the outcome of a race.

Only fell off twice since I started playing. One was because of a badly timed Blue Shell. Then again I main Koopa Troopa on karts and Rosalina on bikes.

Actually no, you can do everything with the GC controller. Kotaku's completely retarded "post" on the controls being "gimped" were totally wrong. As usual.
