I'm not in the least bit sure. I'd be massively surprised if it allowed me to do it, particularly as the license seems to be inextricably linked to a Mii I just made up on the spot. Still, my online score is something desperately unimpressive like 5105, so it won't be a disaster if not. I'll post my friend code on Wednesday.

Wasn't around for this, but I'll join in for the next one if thats ok.

This is shaping up to be my favourite mariokart to date.

Can't believe it's got me enjoying time trials too! (I've managed 1:21 on Luigi Circuit!).

Also, I know a lot of people are going to disagree with me here, but the lobby, Mii's, no voicechat in the random online play is (IMO) leagues and leagues ahead of the 360. I genuinely much prefer it. Swooping around the world to see where they all come from, look at what they look like them makes me really think of them as real people, then not hearing them act like twats doesn't break the illusion. And if they added voice chat it would be hands down better full stop (£50 vs spend ten minutes typing numbers)

Register where?

I greatly prefer the no voice communication on Mariokart when playing against complete strangers. When I have seen others playing games like Halo in the past, issuing from the TV is a constant stream of 'Tard!' 'Faaagott', 'you faaaggg', ad infinitum.

I can't imagine hearing that whilst racing my Mii around the trackc

I do miss voice chat when playing with friends, though.

I think a lot of it comes down to the fact that nintendo only really care about multiplayer with people also sitting on your couch.

I just managed a sub 1.21 just

Owen just beat me by 5/100ths of a second!

I have purchased this today, but won't be playing it online until tomorrow. Are you all really good now? I'm rubbish at driving games, and as such tend to get left in last place by a mile every time I play Forza... will this happen to me again?

Either way, when I hook my Wii up to t'internet tomorrow, I wil post my code thang here.

you don't have to be sorry i think, as scarysheep did that threefold to me tonight.. good to race you BC

i know, but i did wonder if you were saving red shells until the end or it or you just got shells..

There was no saving, I promise - I used them as I got them. Feel a bit bad, didn't intend to be ungentlemanly, so apologies if I was.

Well karma came round in the shape of me and punished you with my red shells. Everything has become balanced in the world.
