Is it like MKWii where you can lose points if you place on the lower half during an online race, or you just win less or no points?

Still have to wait until Sunday, this is going to be a looooong weekend.

I preordered MK7 a couple of days ago, then ordered 3D Land. Both are coming next week.

I probably can't play them until Christmas :(

Hey, no fair! If there's already a GAF Community some of us we'll never get the chance to be at the top of the leaderboard! :(
 
I'm getting worried about comments regarding the AI in this game being ridiculous like Mario Kart Wii.

That was the only Mario Kart I never bought, and it was mainly for that reason.

Ughhh, how are you people playing this already? =(

I'm tempted to check Gamerama in Toronto, as they're the local mom n' pop shop known for breaking street dates, but even if they had it, I'm not sure I feel like trekking all the way uptown. If Shoppers doesn't come through for me (like they did a week early for Brawl) while I'm out this afternoon, I'll just wait until the weekend. ;_;
 
Hmm two player item balance is such a shaky situation, I feel bad for cheesing my opponent out with a golden mushroom across the final section of Kalimari Desert.

Is the community at the end of the OT "NeoGAF 150cc All Items" the only one you guys have? the official one, so to speak? can i add myself? :) no "No Blue Shell" community?

There is no such option as "No Blue Shell". But the Blue Shell is kinda rare, don't worry...

I present to you, NeoGAFs first ever Mario Kart 7 Community Race.

It's me vs. AkimbO_Arcana, with me winning the first race so awesomely that we can't even see AkimbO. The second one has a pretty fantastic finish, him stealing my Lucky 7 items and bolting for the finish.

Awesome video. Play and record more retro courses (lightning bolt tracks) please!

Looking forward to this! :) Should get my copy on Friday, let's hope I can still come less than eight in Neogaf community races. I'm not great at racing games, and I've never had much fun with online gaming before, but I'm looking forward to giving this a shot. I skipped Mario Kart Wii, so this'll be interesting.

What are the options you're given when creating a community, AkimbO? Is it like the Wii version where you have 'basic items' 'no items' 'all items', or how are they grouped anyway? Are there limitations that can be applied to the track list? Must the community be set to Battle, or Racing? I'm guessing there will be a Battle Mode GAF community and Racing Mode.
 
Questions:

First off, are there replays in the game? Secondly, what button do you use for tricks? Finally, how the hell were you able to play and record at the same time?

Awesome video, by the way. Play and record more retro courses (lightning bolt tracks) please!

You use R for tricks. There are replays in SP, not in MP.

The options are: Mode (50cc, 100cc, 150cc, Mirror, Balloon Battle, Coin Battle) and Items (All, Shells, Bananas, Mushrooms, Bob-ombs, None)
The settings can't be changed after creating the community/lobby.

Oh shi.

By the way, i saw a japanese box, red with the little icons inside the "eco friendly" box.

...? my european box doesn't have the awesome item drawings and the box is not red :(
How's the US one? other games like Fox or Mario 3D Land do have the little icons in the box...

Miis ruin the game!!!!!
Aesthetics or balance?

I heard that you can now get Mushrooms in 1st place. Is this true?
Yes, oh god yes! you can avoid blue shells with that.
I got one when i was first online not long ago.

And then i got a triple red shell when i was third; er, that's a little bit too much but... ok.
Lighthearted comment, I just hate how they look, makes it a bit generic.
Definitely, but i think they look better than on Wii.
Do they still have the three categories?
