Mario Kart it ain't no joke/Adios, see ya later and eat smoke

[shax]

After spending much of the week playing 50cc (and, in the process, unlocking BAYBEE DAYZEE), and inspired by Racewing's epic quest tonight to unlock BOTH age ranges of Daisy, I decided it was probably time to give 150cc another shot

XD HUZZAH!

For the record, on the POW blocks you can mash a direction if you want on the pad. So when the POW is about to go off, just keep mashing Up or Left on the D-Pad and as long as one of those presses goes off at the right time, you get blue rings.

For the record, pressing directions on the D-Pad is how you do tricks on a non-motion controller. Adjust the strategy according to your controller.

Oh, I'm strik'ly Wavebird. Tried the Wii Wheel, and it HAS its novelty, but I find myself powersliding in the wrong damn direction way too many times. I hear Wiimote/Nunchuck style is pretty good as it gives you the precise control of the GCN controller's thumbstick and the easy motion-controlled tricking of the Wheel all in one package, but honestly, Mario Kart just don't feel right unless I've got a traditional controller.

*nods* Understandable. I love the GC controller more than is healthy (IT'S SO F'ING COMFY!) and I like having precise control over the exact tricks I do and when I turn my Wheelies on and off. I have ALOT of trouble with tricks and wheelies on the Wheel and Wiimote.

But I've seen arguments in every way. Really you just have to try 'em all and see what YOU like! Me? I <3 that Wavebird too ^_^

I freaking HATE those bomb cars!! they're JERKS. >_< and I also hate the halfpipe in bowser's castle. I am full of fail in that section, 99%. ;_;

I much appreciate these posts about games, as we are playing the same thing at my place, and it is fun to read your stories about thems. *nodnodnod*

oh, cooking mama, that is a silly, silly game...

If the Shazbot can get Daisy, then we all can! huzzah! (still have to pick up my preorder copy)

I own the GameCube and DS iterations of Mario Kart. I've gotten frustrated to a lesser or greater extent with both, and both of them lie semi-fallow within my gaming backlog of doom. Actually, Mario Kart DS is in a carry-around case, not in its own case ... which may tell you that I do, in fact, still play it from time to time.

That said? I haven't played a whole lot of MK Wii since the day I got it, partly because of competing backlogged games (Super Smash Bros. Brawl - no, I still haven't gotten tired of it, much less unlocked everything - and Okami currently sitting at the top of that list) and partly because I'm trying to deplete my current Wiimote batteries with something a little more variable-power-tolerant (which fails to describe either MKW or Okami).

So I have yet to run into that wall of roaring frustration. I'm not looking forward to it. ^^;;
