RE: Mario Kart 8 - Iceman404 - 05-31-2014
The best part about the Retro stages is that this time they aren't boring ports we've played a million times with the same visuals and level design down to the last pixel (that don't even quite translate well to the new gameplay and physics). They've tried to actually RE IMAGINE them completely and fit them to the new gameplay, updating their visuals/design entirely to feel like whole new levels.

I love how they updated the old maps.
Btw, does the horn actually do anything? I noticed nearby characters have a startled reaction to it, but can it mess them up in some way?
RE: Mario Kart 8 - TomGuycott - 05-31-2014
It breaks their items spinning around them I'm pretty sure. It also can break incoming blue shells.
RE: Mario Kart 8 - AuraLancer - 05-31-2014
No, the actual kart horn, not the item. You can beep your horn any time you want by pushing it on the gamepad screen or hitting ZL when you don't have an item.

everything but Boshi and Eldstar would work, maybe replace them with Boo and Goomba.
RE: Mario Kart 8 - Iceman404 - 05-31-2014
I would feel extremely insulted if I lost a GP to a Goomba

Arg! I'm trying to register my game in Club Nintendo but it's so busy right now! Makes sense since they are giving out free games.
RE: Mario Kart 8 - Dazz - 06-01-2014
Will be online on Mario Kart 8 in 30 minutes or so if anyone fancies joining me and Charlie - No mic chat though because it sucks. Miiverse name is tSRDazz in case you missed it.

I disconnected partway through, but that was fun as hell.
