Remember to turn off the 'auto steer' , which stops you from taking short cuts - not obvious but start a match , pause and then untick the box

You can also do it on the 'select a kart' screen

Yep, I've already done this. It's strange that there's no options menu but it's not difficult to find once you start playing.

Bought Mario Kart Live Circuit since it is now discounted.. it is amazing thing of pure joy this long pentecost weekend with rain..

Seeing your cat live on the screen in a mario kart, your own house, the car circling around you, and actually some very tough racing if you want... you make the circuit after all, .. the gates changing everuthing..

Good choice. It's great isn't it?

Post subject:  Re: The Mario Kart Club of cunning gentlemen

Yes it is great.. might not be playing this anymore in a few months, but the pure joy is great..

And it has a bit more depth than people. might think.. unlockables, 50cc is actually quite challenging if the track is challenging, etc..

To be fair, the track editor mainly involved placing obstacles...
There seem to be other hidden editors.. they might have one with your desired functionality..

48 new (well remastered) tracks!

https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2022/ ... etting-dlc

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uZDbDoDAq4


Plusses / minuses..

Plus
Happy for the new tracks
Many of my favourites include, the paris one with daisy, cocunut mall....
the gamble i took with the expansion pass pays off.. extra money/shared with my brother + AC HH and now MK expansion.. (and some n64 games).. it's quite a good deal now since i would have bought both DLC's..

Minus
They look a bit like they used quite a few MKTour assets
It will get me more locked in with NSO expansion pass (you' don't wanna lose the courses), they probably anounce some new DLC just before people have to renew..
No WaLuigi pinball spotted... (or new characters, but they aren't that important in MK compared to smash)
No 'twist' like double dash
Still prefer this big package to a smaller MK9 since you want the whole bunch together... instead of an extra game which would have been more or less the same...

How much space do you need for this and does the kart work on carpet too?

Author:  romanista [ Fri Feb 11, 2022 20:04 ]
Post subject:  Re: The Mario Kart Club of cunning gentlemen

Space not that big.. fun thing thing that it looks from the outside it goes really slow, but on the screen there is the illusion of speed...
Usually I do it round the dinertabel towards my living room.. much further the switch complains.. 4x4 meter or something should be ok


Carpet I will try next time, I have a wooden floor downstairs..

We bought Mario Kart today. Darwin is really enjoying it too, as he’s been er seen it before. I don’t know why we never bought it for the Switch before now.

If you’ve got the subscription+ thing the DLC is included on a kind of ‘rental’ basis (in that you have access to the new tracks and the AC expansion game for as long as you have the subscription). Or you can buy the standalone DLC as a one-off purchase. Whichever works best for you.

Not if you have the Nintendo Online expansion subscription, no. You get the Happy Home expansion, MarioKart add-ons, the online sub for online play and all the additional retro buts including the N64 and Sega Megadrive stuff included.

Hmmm… I’m not sure that’s it. I think you might just have the standard family membership. I don’t think the expanded membership was available last July, but I’m not 100% because what is time now anyway.

Simce mario kart now got amsterdam i’m sort of replaying it, and now have unlocked all the golden parts (mario, 200cc, kart, stars in 150,glider, 5k coins, wheels, all time trial ghosts),, have you,all grinded this?

Author:  Malc [ Sun Apr 02, 2023 18:55 ]
Post subject:  Re: The Mario Kart Club of cunning gentlemen

I've completed all current Grand Prix with 3 stars on 50,100,150, mirror and 200, and have beaten the house ghost on about 1/4 of the tracks on 150, and about 1/8th on 200.

tbh, I spend most of my time playing with my kids. My eldest probably beats me 60-70% of the time, but I probably beat the rest of them 80-90% of the time.

My youngest son is at Uni at the moment, and he's got himself a switch too, so we've recently started playing online with him.

Post subject:  Re: The Mario Kart Club of cunning gentlemen

None of us really play alone. We just play together, but I think we’ve unlocked all the unlockables you can in multiplayer.

The Sydney and London tracks (in the expansion pak) are a lot of fun - I feel they've captured the touristy feel of the cities in a fun and charming way. It's also nice racing around there with our oldest (he's 10) and seeing representations of places we've been / things we've seen.
