I'm really enjoying this and I know I'm going to sub to the thingy too.
I got Peachette and Shy Guy for my first two pulls.
I fucking love Mario Kart.

Like all of Nintendo's mobile games, there's an initial download (200MB for this) then once you've done the practice, there's a 1GB download that downloads in-game. Then throughout the months there will be additional mandatory downloads after that.
Super Mario Run, Fire Emblem Heroes, Animal Crossing Pocket Camp, Dr. Mario World and Dragalia Lost are all like this.
Once you get in you can activate drifting with motion controls, which might be the proper way to go.
I had a quick go and I don't thinks it's for me. The controls are probably the best they could do using the touch screen, but it doesn't feel good to play.
Certainly not going to tempt me to pay $5 a month that's for sure. I guess they came up with the pricing model pre Apple arcade.

Smart steering is ass and manual drift needs a solution where you can activate it on your own at any time. Manual drifting even to position is horrible, and the auto drift activates it just before the corner straightens out, meaning you can't hit the 3x boost unless its a long ass corner. The game really needs a landscape mode to allow for a brake button for drifting or some sort of counter swipe to activate it.
Invisible walls is also such a boon, no falling on GCN Dino Dino Jungle felt so alienating. This is some how an on rails karting game. At least it performs well and looks great I guess.

Say what you will about the game itself but damn if the UI design isn't slick and the performance flawless on my Mi 8.
Did you get her from the mandatory pull after the first cup?Omg guys! I'm crying
So I'm confused. I played a race and I appear to be getting into a lobby with other players? Or is the game just faking it and pasting players' usernames on CPUs? Because if its not multiplayer it sure does give the illusion fairly well.
Yep. Huge download numbers at first, but probably a weak staying power.
We'll see. Personnally, as much as I love Mario kart, this thing is totally a non event for me. I will probably download it, but I'm sure It won't stay long on my phone...
Ive been best with Manual + Smart Steering, haven't touched gyro, but it feels like Mario Kart as in you're trying to drift at every chance.
Can someone post the gacha percentages? It's under shop and details. (German for me, wouldn't make sense) It's kinda like in Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Links, there are 100 things and you can get everything with 100 pulls, so you can empty the whole "tube".
I think the game will end up seeing a huge increase in numbers when mutliplayer is added in. That's what people want, and people will probably jump in when that happens.
Same question. Friend of mine just played a race in front of me, and the other racers had unconventional names for CPU AIs, including names written with Japanese characters. Even those the whole "searching for other players" thing. Are we sure there's no multiplayer? Or is it simply that we can't play MP with friends yet?
Yeah, the fact that you can' skip the intro makes it obvious they're bots. Most people will think you can only play with randoms and multiplayer will be with friends, but nah. What it's presumably doing is taking the stats of other players, you're basically playing with ghosts.
Ho I didn't even know they planned to add it in. Should be here at release, but hey, they probably know what they do...
If there was actual multiplayer, they wouldn't be clumped up together so much as the race goes on.
What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?
I like the match 3 items to go into crazy mode mechanic.

They're bots using real player data/character & kart selection.
But everyone sucks at the game right now (heck, my friend and I even won the race), so it's not that surprising.
Are you saying they're literally simulating a MP race by fake-searching AI players and giving more original names? I mean, I could see it, especially if Nintendo is anticipating some backlash due to the lack of MP, but it strikes me as pretty cynical.
Oooooh. I see. Makes sense. Still a bit manipulative if you ask me.
Played this a little during the beta and just played through the first two cups tonight... Forgot just how utterly unfun this is. Controls are awful and the point system for getting 5 stars in each race is stupid.
Tried it, seems fun. I'm a huge fan of the series and kinda good player so let's see if this clicks or not.
Smart steering off, immediately and then with drift mode, feels fantastic on 150cc.
if people think its multiplayer maybe not having multiplayer wont be that big of an issue (:
Well, sure, until you realize you can't setup private matches or invite friends. Though I'm pretty satisfied with with the game as is, I'll probably stay active enough to see how online MP turns out.
The gacha system is interesting, you basically have 100 items in the gacha (including the featured characters) and once you get all the characters from that pool (for example, you pull all 32 common drivers) you can't get any more. It's an approach that basically guarantees you all the featured items in 100 pulls.
Bots with actual player names is pretty standard for mobile games
Gacha %s incoming from me....
This is actually not a bad system - seems to combine sparking system with the Emblem system from DL (only other Gacha I've played) so that the rate up character WILL be obtainable within 100 pulls, and then additional items only have a set amount to drop (hence the 9/9 etc. 25/26 was because I'd already pulled a Pipe Frame Kart)
