Well Mario Kart on the DS sucks but so does the DS so that could be why. I loved Mario Kart on N64, the way you could jump the wall on Wario's track.

If the one for the Wii is as good as the N64 then I'll consider buying it and a Wii.

it depends if it has a game update, if it does and it stops the freeloader from working then no.

Nah it doesn't ruin the freeloader. It installs a separate channel for Mario Kart, but I've been told it has no effect on the freeloader.

Southe,
12-04-2008, 10:56 AM
Mario Kart lol and Brawl whens its out. Dragonball Z budokai Tenkaichi 3 is good but it has extremely bad lag.. if your playing a mate whos in the same region as you it seems to be fine tho. Thats all the wifi ones i have ^^

Kardan
12-04-2008, 02:22 PM
Just had a quick go, I find the Wii Wheel quite annoting actually, the Wiimote and Nunchuk combination is best imo.

Southe,
12-04-2008, 02:23 PM

PaulMacC
12-04-2008, 02:50 PM
The Wii Wheel is great though I find turning a bit tricky.
The Gamecube is alright aswell, used it once.
Complete 150cc Mushroom Cup, 7 cups to go and then Mirror Mode.

Southe,
12-04-2008, 03:22 PM
turning but them i just slide round corners usually.. so im fine. and yea £39 is a bit much but some people are willing to pay extra £4 because they feel left out ^^

Cavaz
12-04-2008, 04:05 PM
yeh I was doing that when i tried in GAME. i played it for about 20 minutes and I slid around the corners xD Was fun

Southe,
12-04-2008, 04:07 PM

Neversoft
12-04-2008, 06:14 PM

Though boosting takes longer, you can semi-snake on wide tracks with the bikes.
Mii's are always medium Chris.

Southe,
12-04-2008, 09:10 PM
Okay For the people that are taken part in the Mk DS/WII tounrys can you put up your friend codes for both games on either this thread or the other one. Need to get a note of them all so i can make a list ^^

Neversoft
12-04-2008, 11:44 PM
Is it just me doing something wrong or can't you do a starting boost using a gamecube controller?

PaulMacC
13-04-2008, 12:25 AM
I've used the gamecube controller once and it worked fine for me though I use the Wii Wheel now.
I might pick up a Gamecube controller next week because my current ones shoulder buttons, Z and analog buttons are hard to push down and hardly work.

How do you do a boost using the Wii Wheel?

Something like when the 3-2 disapears hold down 2 bbut i just hold down 2 and let it go for a sec then hold down and i seem to get a boost.

PaulMacC
13-04-2008, 10:32 AM
Here's a few tips for you.

1) Streamlining - Always race behind people if your not first, that means you can get a boost and go faster
2) Boost start - Hold down 2 when the countdown 2 is about to disappear.
3) Mini-drift - Hold B and tilt the Wheel in whatever direction, only for corners or wide lanes.
4) Bikes > Karts

13-04-2008, 11:08 AM
I have it now :)

I can play in that tournament thing now

Southe,
13-04-2008, 11:35 AM
Awesome, Need people to start giving there friend codes for Mario kart ds and wii. Im making a habbo group on habbo so its easier for me to edit scores ect. Im also looking for Admins for my group so if ur intrested just post. i have the group but done nothign to it yet.. do it when i get back later.

Also i was thinking if everyone added each other and went on at the same time and went to the friends bit should we be able to have a 12 kart race with friends? cos we could do a couple of them or would people rather do a league?

kk.
13-04-2008, 11:37 AM

kk.
13-04-2008, 11:46 AM

Southe,

Niko Bellic
13-04-2008, 11:52 AM

Southe,
13-04-2008, 12:03 PM
