tommers> one thing i love when talking about mariokart is that everyone reckons they were world class at the snes version :cool: What amazes me is that some of these people didnt race as the fatties (kong and bowser) and are therefore total mariokart noobs

Everyone knows that the fatties are shite. Great top speed but attrocious handling.

Toad and Koopa Troopa on the SNES and Toad and Yoshi on the GBA are the characters to be. Good acceleration, good speed and grip like a dream. It's poetry in motion playing as one of them two and ripping everyone to shreds.

Similarly Ken or Ryu have always been the ones to pick in Street Fighter II games.
 
damn your funny little blue shell I was going to win that last one

I kept getting lost on tracks I didn't know, but I am the king of luigi's mansion
 
i hate the red light. Theres an add on you can buy that lets you connect the DS to a car battery. 3 weeks between charges and arms like popeye. See you later.

The fatties are the only way to get anything faster than a minute on Mario Circuit 1 Time Trial...
 
sorry jambooboo, ur a snes mariokart noob :p

The fatties have bad handling but that doesnt matter with practice, the high speed is all that matters. The toad and koopa were the characters you practiced with untill you were good enough to race with the fatties.

yay for 10 year old arguments ;)

Exactly, anyone arguing that the fatties are rubbish needs to think again. They are the only characters to choose if your serious about your Mario Kart. :)

What are peoples views on multiplayer MarioCart DS then?
 
everyone seems to be playing with either yoshi or luigi at the moment. Have seen some good results from bowser, but maybe the game hasn't been out long enough for the fatties to rise to the top.
 
There doesn't seem to be nearly as much difference in the top speed when playing online. On a long straight flat, Bowser should overtake Yoshi easily, but online they seem to keep pace. I don't think it's worth the handling penalty, though it definitely is on 1P, as usual.
 
I got it saturday. love it. but my skills seem to have degraded somewhat over time... just trying to crack 150cc.....
 
It kicks ass but a word to the wise, play some single player first before going online; there be some evily good players out there!
 
I keep getting done by online players who seemingly let me streak ahead and then unload with all sorts of horrible weapons in the final straight so I end up bouncing in the air as they all streak past me :mad:

Give them a taste of their own medicine!

Slightly ot...what sort of device do I need to play this online (not ther DS!). I have a pc connected to broadband but with a shitty usb modem. Can anyone recommend a modem/router?
