No idea. People made it seem like this was the big game after Arms for some reason.
I feel like using manual drifting with touch just means you ALWAYS drift. There's no good way to make small adjustments down a straightaway. Am I missing something?
2D Mario is getting its first online iteration ever in two months...
Although I agree Mario Kart mobile not being online is probably the biggest fail of the year.
Looking at the new assets from that datamine, I think MK9 is in the works and MKT is kind of an in-between type of deal. I'm surprised how much new art and assets are in this.
Aww, and I just got the notification for the next cup a couple hours ago.
Just thinking, since this game is all about racing AI ghosts modelled after real players, could the final game be getting super hard AI ghosts with rare kit equipped?
They already do rare kit. It pits you against similarly leveled and specced racers.
Hit my first hard time gate for the first time. 30 mins until I can play again. Can someone explain to me the purpose of time gating? It seems really counter productive.
Right now I have nine races I haven't perfected (one in the cup I just unlocked, which I only got three stars on). I need five more stars to progress to the next cup, so I need to turn half of those four-star races into perfects.
This game gets punishing; you can say a lot of things about it, but it's not wanting for difficulty.

I could only dream. They have 12 tracks that aren't in MK8DX just in the beta alone, which is perfect for 3 cups.
Super Mario Run had a bunch of things that have yet to be used anywhere else.
If you are talking about the 806-1300 error.
I just kept mashing Retry and it got me in
But yeah servers acting up
Do you basically have to turn your phone completely sideways for sharp turns? I hate that. I'm using a Note 8.
Yep, that's the error. I mashed retry a lot and got a code 806-9078.
That's a bomb shell. Thought they were calling it quits at 8.
I'm getting stuck with error codes. First 806-1300. Then 806-9078. Anyone have any suggestions?
Can someone fully articulate what is involved with the manual drifting and gyro steering options once you turn off the racing arrow indicator? Is the tilting the sort where you subtly move the device to where the screen itself shifts slightly to be pointing to the left and right of your face, or where you keep the screen directly at you and rotate it clockwise/counterclockwise?
Manual drifting mean that you can sooner initiate a drift by using a second input after starting a turn?

Yeah running into same issue after closing the game a bit ago. Even reinstalled to see if it could bypass with no luck
Seems like a Server issue right now.
Why is this game using portrait mode?
It made sense in Mario Run because the levels were designed around it, and it was meant to be played one-handed. Here it just seems like a major shortfall. Is rotating your phone really so terrible?

My assumption since the announcement of this game was that the target audience here are the people who bought a Wii for Mario Kart and then nothing else.
Well, maybe Wii Sports Resort too.
Nintendo wants you to play their games one handed. It's really not that awful, though for levels I don't know well with sharp turns it is a bit of a pain. Nothing you don't get used to quick enough.
Was finally about to give it a shot and got hit with that maintenance screen... Sad way to start my work break D:
Playing mobile game vertically is actually a design choice that many mobile games did. You have a much easier time holding phone vertically instead of horizontally. (You don't need to use two hands so it's more convenient)
And since some phones has longer horizontal side than normal phone. (like my Galaxy A9 2018) It's a bit more arkward to use it sideway to me. (Most of mobile games that I played are design with portrail mode, too.)
This game is also designed for one hand play and portrait mode.
I was expecting it to be vertical after they updated a patent on a similar control method not too long ago that originated from the DS days.
Isn't that just 3DS toad Circuit?I wouldn't be too sure about that. There's a remnant of a test track. No idea if the layout corresponds to either a new track design or something from one of the old games.
That's 3DS Toad Circuit, which ended up in the game anyway. Probably the first stage they decided to port over and test from 7.I wouldn't be too sure about that. There's a remnant of a test track. No idea if the layout corresponds to either a new track design or something from one of the old games.

That sounds an awful lot like FEH Orbs, and that's a terrible thing to say, because I stopped playing it just because they were too sparse and too necessary for the game flow. In FEH you won't get far if you don't improve your army, so you're required to gamble for pulls. At least in ACPC, Leaf Tickets are used pretty much only to save your time or get some fancy furniture, nothing game breaking.
I wish MK worked that way too but from your description, it looks like they're following FEH's formula more closely and you'll eventually reach a cup where the CPU is suddenly much faster than your regular kart, no matter how good you play. And boy, this is gonna suck.
Insert obligatory comment about Japan, subway riding and one handed mobile gaming.
Nintendo has been leaning into the typical mobile design from day 1. They aren't interested in revolutionizing mobile gaming, but providing a revenue stream that makes them some money on mobile and draws people to their consoles and "real" games.
Until Nintendo stops making hardware, their mobile titles will continue to be mobile as hell in design.
Definitely hitting a progress wall around bowser/star cup, and not just from the 2 hours timers either. Stars start running out and 5 star is increasingly more difficult to earn. With tour unlocks at 20 star increments, at best you are at a 2 star deficit each tour. So challenges/badges become much more important to complete.
EDIT: This also means gems stop flowing around this time too, which gives you about two 10-pulls total.

Yeah people forget how huge MKWii was. This game will do really well if they market it right
Same, I can't stand Kalahari Desert and it's what's preventing me from getting a good amount of stars. That and 3DS Mario Circuit. Both seem to be done batten wasteland if you don't have a character for that stage.
Also, does anyone have any tips on the "hit 5 people with green shells" challenge? I feel like it's unobtainable for me.
