Can't you unlock car parts by winning races online?

You can single player too. So no bragging rights.

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

So what's the button with a picture of a kart with an antennae do? The one next to the motion control option.

Karts with antennae drive "smartly" so to help you avoid obstacles etc.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

I feel like they added some subtle new sound effects. Is it my imagination?

I also like how they added the Inkling silhouettes to the loading screen.

 

[Branduil]

Is Excitebike the most popular track in the game? I think it's guaranteed at least 8 or 9 votes every time it comes up in random matches.

You can.

It and Baby Park. People have really shit taste.

 

[MAX PAYMENT]

Yes. The only things you can;t unlock online are Gold Mario, the gold kart, and the gold wheels.

Thank you.

 

[KtSlime]

It and Baby Park. People have really shit taste.

Excitebike is fun if you like speeding up doing tricks, and Baby Park has been a favorite of mine since DD, because you can easily lap people and it causes a lot of chaos.

 

[Golden_Pigeon]

In all honesty, that's what 50cc is sort of for. The training ground.

I think they should have implemented a tutorial that teach you all the different tricks like gliding, braking while gliding etc... instead of only teaching it by text in the help section.

I know it's seem nothing, but for non-player it's hard to grasp.

I haven't read this entire topic, but I can't be the only one that has noticed how incredible the HD Rumble is in this game. Especially with the Pro Controller. You can feel everything. Boosts have a unique rumble that feels like it goes from the top of the controller to the bottom. Shooting items feels like a projective is being fired from your hands.

This might be the best implementation of haptic feedback in any game to date.

Baby Park is back to its former glory now that double items are a thing. The track is pure chaos, and that's what it revels in.

I said a few pages back that it sold me on HD Rumble. It's so good.

Every kart have it's own unlockable ? I unlocked like 3 thing very quickly and since then nothing. I am playing only Mario Tanooki

 

[Cleve]

I see people loving the HD rumble and I'm sitting here just feeling like my controller is a mobile phone getting text messages.

Don't worry, you're not the only one. I'm using a pro controller, so maybe it's different for joycons in a grip, but I barely notice it, and it certainly isn't more immersive than what we've seen before.

 

[Kinsei]

Baby Park is back to its former glory now that double items are a thing. The track is pure chaos, and that's what it revels in.

It still has those stupid walls in the middle and there are no giant shells or giant bananas. I'd say it's still a shadow of it's former self.

 

[Betty]

I found Excitebike Arena so boring on Wii U now it's one of my favourite tracks, weird.

 

[LFMartins86]

No. Unlocks are for everything and they are connected to the number of coins you collect.

 

[con-ca-te-nate]

Neo Bowser City will always be the favorite of mine.

You get kart parts every 30 coins up to a certain point (at least until around 1000?). So maybe you're losing all your coins before you finish races?

 

[Hattori]

I just learned brake drifting on 200cc...feels good man

 

[Mr. Pointy]

I think it's every 30 coins up to around 500 coins or so, then it's every 50 coins.

 

[ToTi]

3 Blue shells, ew!

 

[AuthenticM]

There is a hidden stat for the power of boosts. It's part of picking your kart setup.

I see. So which karts or wheels offer bigger boosts?

 

[Shahadan]

Kill ToTi! Ban the junior!

 

[jts]

There was in the Wii U version but they got rid of it in Deluxe.

Thanks!

 

[BriGuy]

That cops and robbers multiplayer game sucks for the robbers. Who thought it would be fun to have one team get confined to a small cage and do nothing but wait around?

 

[Jesse-]

Would anyone mind sharing what kind of brand/type of router they are using?
Mine is having serious NAT problems which I can't seem to resolve.

 

[Kinsei]

It's much more fun as a robber IMO. Jailbreaks are really fun to pull off.

 

[GregLombardi]

Just to be clear - if you have multiple switches each needs its own cart to play against one another, right? I presume they haven't done the DS thing with Switch?

 

[Exentryk]

I see. So which karts or wheels offer bigger boosts?

All stats are changed in this version, so we'll have to wait until someone finds them off official guides or something.

 

[goldsoundz]

What's the button to switch between double items?

 

[Omnicent]

Hit by 4 blue in one online race...

 

[AuthenticM]

Alright, thanks.

 

[Dandy Crocodile]

That's correct! It's much easier to stream a handful of MBs to other people than however many GBs.

 

[//DEVIL//]

Anyone worried about his switch after playing long hours docked mode ? The fan kicks in to a high fever while in docked mode I fear my console will either fly it melt and explode .

Excitebike is pretty good though, in addition to having kickass music. Baby Park is trash though.

 

[Golden_Pigeon]

Oh ! All right, yes this is possible. I have fairly good results but i am not good at keeping those coins.

 

[Omnicent]

You are a good person. I can tell from this statement

 

[sleepnaught]

they could at least try and make the CPU legit in this game. Every single game is 50 yards from the finish line, then hit by a blue shell, then all the way to 6th place after being is first for the entire race. id say at least 75-80% of the time. Deluxe Salt indeed.

 

[Firebrand]

Can you unlock kart parts by playing online?

Yes, but you may have to quit out to the main menu to get the unlocks, then back to each to the main menu after each one if you've got multiple unlocks waiting. Just did this for 6 or so unlocks, hah.

 

[Berordn]

It still has those stupid walls in the middle and there are no giant shells or giant bananas. I'd say it's still a shadow of it's former self.

They make up for it somewhat with antigravity. Obviously the track can't return to full glory without DD's special items making a comeback, but it's come a long way from that one time they put it in MKDS.

 

[con-ca-te-nate]

Finally 1st place finish.....

 

[Exentryk]

Hit by 4 blue in one online race...

I'm sure you deserved it.

 

[Tiamant]

Finally 1st place finish.....

Were you Isabelle? Damn you! All race 1st

 

[con-ca-te-nate]

Were you Isabelle? Damn you! All race 1st

Yep lol

 

[Tiamant]

All hail King Boo!

Tangential Q: MK 8 is my second app after Zelda, is there a way to reorganize the tiles on your Switch menu or does it default to most recent app?

 

[RyuKanSan]

Not even the mighty blue shell could stop DA VILLAGER

 

[Monumma]

Excite Bike (the track AND the game) wishes it could be as fun as Baby Park.

edit:

Dont think so.
