Wonder if they'll stealthily fix fire hopping.

Not sure if you realize that this would invalidate tens of thousands of ghosts

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

I wonder if they'll get rid of fire hopping in this patch.

 

[Mysterious]

HOLY FUKING SHITIRNERNKERNEKEW

[Not75Drops]

So this is released on the 27th?

edit: didn't see 8/27 I just looked for August.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Sweet!

 

[Saint Gregory]

Good. Map should be on screen.

Fix crap tier weight classes next.

FTFY

 

[rekameohs]

Already the best Mario Kart, this just elevates it further

 

[daripad]

Fucking finally. I just want to keep track of my coins

 

[Nishastra]

Just give me a Block Fort.

 

[PadWarrior]

This is awesome.Was quite curious as to what my record is like.

 

[Poimandres]

I actually haven't experienced any stability problems online. No lag, only a single connection drop out. Pretty impressive considering Australian internet is balls.

What I really want is a volume control option so I can turn up the music and turn down the annoying kart sounds.

It is great news that they are patching the game!

 

[falconxcrunner09]

No idea why a map wasn't on screen in the first place...

 

[Rebel Leader]

Nintendo is patching... a game?

and it's not paid DLC?

 

[majik13]

But...........................there are no triggers........

there are triggers, but, no analog triggers. What is the issue? Though. default gas is a face button. Also its mario kart if you arent always gassing it, or slamming on the brakes when needed, you are doing it wrong.

 

[AtomicShroom]

Nice!

Hopefully it also stealth-fixes the 59fps hiccups!

 

[Anth0ny]

Default menu selection following GP changing to next race.

YES

YES

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

 

[Raw64life]

I can't be the only person who wanted to make the gamepad screen a rear view mirror right?

 

[Jinfash]

This is a step in the right direction. Now overhaul battle mode and add best lap ghosts to trial and I'll be content. I'll even buy any DLC you throw my way.

 

[Azure J]

Just give me a Block Fort.

Block Fort, Double Deck and Skyscraper should be staples of the series by now. No replacing. Just changing the aesthetics every now and again.

 

[spindashing]

Wow. A REALLY good patch.

 

[WiiRevolution1]

Really weird how there wasn't stats to begin with.

I guess it really was rushed. Which seems impossible due to how awesome all the tracks are lol.

Glad to finally have mah stats.

 

[Dreamwriter]

I don't think I understand the menu gp change thing everyone's yelling praise over.

When you finish a race during GP, the menu defaults to viewing race highlights rather than "Next Race". The patch fixes that.

 

[Meeps]

I've never been so excited for a mini-map in my life!

 

[Deputy Moonman]

Awesome to hear. I'm guessing that boost hopping can't be taken out?

 

[atr0cious]

Awesome to hear. I'm guessing that boost hopping can't be taken out?

Oh, It can be out, just gonna need a blue shell to do it.

 

[BakaPengin]

I actually love fire hopping, I hope they don't remove it.

 

[Tom Nook Sawyer]

I actually love fire hopping, I hope they don't remove it.

I suspect most people who exploit exploits don't want them removed.

 

[Choppasmith]

Sounds good, I just hope there's an option for the Map screen (or something like only for other controllers and off tv play). I play with the gamepad and don't mind keeping the map to the gamepad screen.

 

[Nintendojitsu]

Just give me a Block Fort.

Which one? Trick question *hehe*

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

I actually love fire hopping, I hope they don't remove it.

It gives karts a better advantage so it needs to be taken out.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Glad they're adding some stuff and fixing some issues. Nice to see Nintendo be a little more proactive about that stuff.

Now if they'd just rebalance the weight classes.

 

[BakaPengin]

I suspect most people who exploit exploits don't want them removed.

I don't see it as an exploit. Are you sure it's not intentional? I think it's fun and makes the gameplay deeper, kinda like the wheelies in MKW, only better. Why are you so opposed to it?

 

[devonodev]

Remove fire hopping and make it work for bikes instead. Then I'll be happy.
Or just remove it that'd be good too I guess.

 

[w00zey]

What about being able to see how many coins you have? Is love to know how close I am to 10,000.


Edit never mind it should read more.

 

[PadWarrior]

I saw someone say they'd quit the game if fire hopping was removed.

 

[PotionBleue]

Are you sure it's not intentional?

No he is not.

And when Nintendo decides not to patch this “exploit”, I guess people can finally stop calling it an “exploit”.

 

[Deputy Moonman]

I actually love fire hopping, I hope they don't remove it.

I wouldn't mind it if it actually benefited all karts and bikes, but it's frustrating being someone who prefers and enjoys using the inside drifting bikes and being helpless to catch up to a kart user that hops efficiently. Also, I wouldn't feel sorry for people who had records removed if hopping is how they acquired those records.

 

[Ysiadmihi]

lol @ people acting like firehopping is intentional

Anyway, good to see the TV map coming.

 

[AdanVC]

So freaking nice!! Improved online thank you heavens!

Default menu selection following GP changing to next race.

GOTY 2014

I can't believe this is the thing that I'm most excited about this patch! Hhaha.

 

[Maintenance]

Records? Coins being shown? Nintendo finally listening? FUCKYEAH!

 

[gdt]

Wow, great patch.

 

[Deputy Moonman]

I saw someone say they'd quit the game if fire hopping was removed.

Spoiler

obligatory "wahhhh!"

 

[JLeack]

How reliable is Cheesemeister and/or is he sourcing a Japanese site or something?

 

[Tom Nook Sawyer]

No he is not.

I'm reasonably confident it was not intended, otherwise it would for all vehicles.

 

[PadWarrior]

Spoiler

obligatory "wahhhh!"

Is that baby Mario? Look at this colors LOL

 

[shadowkat]

Wow, a great patch. I've missed the mini map so much.

Next fix the battle mode.

 

[OricWindstar]

These are some really solid changes. Good job, Nintendo! Now just make sure you do this with Smash as well.

 

[PotionBleue]

How reliable is Cheesemeister and/or is he sourcing a Japanese site or something?

He's just translating what's said at the bottom of the page on Nintendo's website.

I'm reasonably confident it was not intended, otherwise it would for all vehicles.

Could have just decided not to give it to inward bikes to counter-balance them. That doesn't prove anything.

 

[10k]

Map on the screen, thank god. Even making it the default view on the gamepad would be an improvement.

 

[kunonabi]

Map better be optional.
