Waaaaaait. That can't be right. I've only had DSL for part of the month. Last year, when I set the record for most points, I was on 56k.

TIME FOR THE COUNTERPOINTS FROM THE ME

Originally posted by HyperHacker
  • The physics, mainly regarding deceleration and sliding, just plain suck. If I had made the game I would have considered them critical bugs. If you drive off the track as anyone besides Toad, or hit a wall at any angle, you practically stop dead (and Toad sucks at everything else). After power-sliding you'll often find yourself drifting sideways long after you've turned back the other way. This is worst with Toad where you could almost do an entire lap sliding sideways. Sliding is a pain as the sparks disappear (but remain, invisible) at random and it's just difficult to pull off with a D-pad. (It does get much easier once you get used to it, though.)
This is just incorrect <_<

  • In previous Mario Kart games, the AI was pretty bad... in this one, it's terrible. It usually takes me all of lap 1 to get into first, unlike in previous games, but once I'm there everyone just seems to slow down so much they're not even on the visible part of the map anymore. How did Nintendo make up for this? Increase the attack frequency! So long as you're in first place you'll be hit at least every 30 seconds by a red shell, spiny shell, squid or Boo. VERY annoying.
    • True, but after you *** everything in Grand Prix it stops being a problem as you don't have to keep doing them.

    • No, you're just inattentive. The higher your kart's item stat, the more mushrooms you get.

  • Spiny shells explode. Big. This means if you're in a close second (which I often am, because it's hard to stay in first for long with the constant attacks), you may see a spiny shell fly in and home in on the guy ahead of you - 'woohoo!' Then it hits them, and you both get blown up. Also, once the shell gets close enough, it locks on. This means if you drop down to 2nd, or for that matter 8th once a spiny shell is heading for you, it still hits you.
    • So slow down or move to the side. Boom; you're not hit by it. It hardly takes any skill at all. And if you're paying attention to who has what items, and they're not RIGHT FREAKING NEXT TO YOU, it's pretty easy to drop to second before it locks on to you.

  • Once a red or spiny shell is on your tail, you're fucked. One of the best features of MK:SC was the fact that red shells were only slightly faster than you, which meant if you were lucky enough to jump a nearby gap or toss something behind you, you could survive. With some luck and skill you could even dodge spiny shells. Not anymore!
    • You can still dodge red shells with your own items or by tricking them in to hitting walls, and it's still possible to dodge blue shells, it's just much harder, unless you have a green shell or fake item box, in which case with some skill you can hit yourself with it and use the temporary invincibility to avoid the explosion, thus greatly lessening the effects.

    • Solution: Get better at the game and stop falling off cliffs.
    Originally posted by HyperHacker
  • If you crash or fall off the track, you lose your item. >: Even in Time Trial mode. Combined with the way-too-many-items-hitting-you-in-first-place problem, and the very large gaps between item boxes, you won't be getting nearly as many items as in other MK games.
    • The solution to the last problem is the solution to this one.
    Originally posted by HyperHacker
  • You can drag items behind you, except in multiplayer. Bad enough they removed it in multi, but to leave it in other modes means nothing more than utter chaos as people try to hold something behind them only to have it fire off.
    • It's better to have it left out of multi, as it means blocking red shells takes actual skill.
    Originally posted by HyperHacker
  • Team Battle is broken. The battle still goes on until only one person is left, which means once you've offed the other team, you have to kill your teammates too! This isn't difficult, however, as your attacks will hit them and red shells just choose random people to target in battle mode.
    • Why the hell are you playing team battle, though? Or battle, period.

  • Either my DS's microphone is toast, or there's something seriously wrong with the 'blow in the mic to inflate balloons' logic. You could damn near pass out trying to inflate the damn things, and the angle you're forced to view the screen at will make you dizzy.
    • It's... Not that hard to get used to. And the microphone hasn't caused me much grief in the few times I've played battle.

    • I can hear it fine.

    • Solution: Stop using the touch screen.

    And Zem, mission mode is used for nothing but mission mode.

    Mmmk, now respond to mine.

    And your inability to dodge red shells seems to come from the fact that they tend to hit you from the side in this. Solution? Watch the bottom screen for which they're approaching in, and hop and turn away from that direction when holding your item or dropping it. Whoom. Blocked red shell.

    You don't have to look at it exclusively, just glance at it as the shell approaches... And that says nothing regarding my previous post.

    What the hell, HyperHacker. How is periodically glancing at the map and who has what items any more difficult than periodically glancing at the rear-view mirror and speedometer in an actual car? You're not going to be staring at them the entire time, and you don't have to (nor should you); just as long as you make a few quick glances every few seconds you'll be fine.
