    Ive been doing some custom races to test for potential rubber-banding. If its there, you don't see it in vs. mode. Obviously its harder to test it in outright GP, but in vs. mode I've tested tracks with both items and non-items. If a second-place bot gets knocked back to 4th without items, they don't place higher than that unless someone in front of them screws up. If they get items, however, they usually get strong stuff to brute force their way back.

    This was done by checking replays on specific bots that came into matches high in point rankings. I didn't test the lower tier bots that usually finish towards the bottom, because in an average match, they have little shot at catching up anyway, and without items, it wasn't always easy to pull from 12th to 1st at the drop of a hat.

    I'll keep testing, but in the meantime, the name's Lucavi31. Add me and get bodied online.

    Mario Kart theorycrafting super serious.

    I'm getting this sometime this week. In my hesitation of whether I actually wanted to buy it this weekend all the Mario Kart bundles sold out at my local best buys. GG me, getting it shipped over. Can't wait to get online and crush some foos. I've been playing 7 again while I wait.

    Loving this game.
    Backstory: my wife loved and played the shit out of Mario Kart for the Wii. Since it was something she did a lot with one of her best friends I didn't play it much, and if I did I was BAD primarily b/c of the motion controls and a generally lack of Kart since 64. So she talked a lot of shit that made me think she could actually play.
    Since she loved Kart for Wii so much I got her a Wii U.
    I decimated her tonight probably getting 1st in 90% of the races with her maybe 5%. Wii U finally worth it.

    Also: free download of Windwaker, plus the club nintendo coins for registering the game and the d/l put me at enough to scoop up Super Metroid for the VC. Pretty fucking nice Nintendo.

    Picking this up for my girlfriend (and I) tomorrow. Can't wait.

    Should I look into getting one of those non-wiimote controllers? We've been using 2 Wiimote+'s and nunchucks for a while. Trying not to overspend though.

    I feel like battle mode has been ruined.

    Battle -is- ruined. Holding out for either a fat patch or some sort of DLC that introduces real battle mode again.

    Friend was inquiring whether or not you can get the Club Nintendo code if you do a digital download of Mario Kart. He wants to avoid the 12% sales tax but he wants the free club Nintendo game. Do they give you a Club Nintendo code for digital downloads?

    You don't get a code for Mario kart but game shows on club Nintendo after 1-2h

    Also you get full taxes on eshop ( at least I do)

    Pretty much no different from watching the old SNES MK speed runs with DK hopping all over the place. I get a warm, nostalgic vibe from seeing it. They really did go back to the classics.

    This game needs more retro tracks. I'd pay 20 bucks for a SNES retro pack with all or most all of the stages.
