I've only played the game like twice at a friends place, so I have no idea which one it is.

It's also surprisingly awesome.

Just got the game last night (hello, late Father's Day present), and it's a blast. I've had nothing but fun on this game, even when losing for crap reasons. The wife and I unlocked several of Bowser's kids (which surprised me - I thought they'd mostly been relegated to nothingness), as well as Metal Mario and Rosalina.
Yeah, Rosalina's pretty awesome.

I wound up running Scooty Puff Junior + Monster Tires with her, and basically dominated everything.

...also, I find the bikes a ton easier to control than the karts with some characters, for some reason. Still have not tried the ATV, though.

S3 has a Wii U? Hype! Wanna add your name to the NNID list in the Wii U thread?

Also: the Koopalings are in New Super Mario Bros. U/ New Super Luigi U as well. They've been making a decent comeback as of late, starting with New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

I has a WiiU, aye, but no good enough Internet to warrant putting myself in for Online Play.

Also, technically, it's not mine and my wife's WiiU, but our father-in-law's. Not that he's using it, and he's going to give it to us once we move out... but still.

I only have access to the NA source at the moment, I'll post the EU source at lunch.

EDIT: Better late than never!

So, I have the game currently on loan through my Sisters BF since he bought it the other night and left it here since it would be to distracting for him.

If anyone wants to play some MK8 let me know!

Indeed, I'm pretty free all week so we could easily do it.

Also Nintendo Network ID is Fieryone again for those who missed it.

Funny enough, I was about to ask the same thing. I should be good for tonight.

Well, the wife and I have had a blast with Mario Kart so far... but we are kinda sad that there's what feels like a small selection of playable characters. Sure, you can use your Miis - but Mario Kart 7 had that. And the kids of Bowser are a nice touch... but it really doesn't seem to add much variety.

Robo-Mario and Robo-Peach, while again sounding like nice variety, really doesn't seem to add much to the game either.

I know I'm complaining about Mario Kart characters, and that only 12 will ever be running onscreen at the same time, but the 8-member-strong Koopa Klan (really? No Boom-Boom or Bowser Junior?) really seems to pull down the variety.
Although, I admit, I can't really think of a lot of other people they could be adding, outside of Donkey Kong castmembers and other Nintendo franchises.



...that said, Samus and Link participating in Mario Kart would be delicious.

Maybe Pink Gold Peach gives us hope that they'll make a Peach game not based on PMSing and female stimulation devices?

Maybe we could have Super Mario Princesses, with Peach, Daisy, Rosalina, and Pauline(?!) having to journey to rescue the Mario crew after a Bowser capture scheme goes wrong?

Peach and Rosalina could control like they do in the Mario 3d World game, while Daisy could be like a demented Luigi clone and Pauline could just be the Toad.

I'm kinda of sad. I was expecting someone to mention that the game sold 2 million units in a month. =/

It's no GTA5, but that's like saying "Gosh, that Iron Man 3 was good. But it's no Avengers."
