So, anyone getting this? Mines pre-ordered. I'm not sure it's going to work as well as previous installments, with bikes and everything. The offline multiplayer isn't as good either, according to some reviews. The online component is supposed to work very well.
Ah well, will have to wait and see.

Got mine yesterday, so guys, what's your favourite vehicle? And do you prefer bikes or karts?

I like bikes for handling, but then karts just seem to be the one i go with more (dont know why)
I always use Yoshi or Mario (yoshi my fav) and tend to use the normal kart at the mo. Just as i get used to it. tend to hit a wall here and there so need good acceleration and a decent top speed.
And to answer part of my own question - apparently the gold wheel is obtained when u only use the steering wheel (which i am) but i think it is for a duration of time. if you use anything else even for 1 race it goes back to white
thats what i heard so should get me a gold wheel soon i hope.

Has anybody played any 12 player Wi-Fi races yet? I'm wondering what the lag is like. I know with Smash Bros., as soon as you get one guy in the match with a bad connection it screws everything up. Since it happens in Smash with only 4 people, the chances of getting womeone with a bad connection when there are 12 seem pretty high.
I'm in Canada so I can't get Kart until April 27. You guys in the UK are lucky :)

I've had no lag when I've played. The biggest race I was in was a 10 player race. All went very well. I was disconnected once (cost me a load of points) but other than that, no problems at all.

It is fine, i played loads of 12 people races. never had lag, i got disconnected and lost like 110 points, but im back up to 5700 with my gold wheel so its all good.
Just unlocked the Turbo Blooper kart as i aint done much one player and it seems to be pretty good.
I would recommend doing one player first (unlike me) just so u get used to it and dont lose points to start with, plus getting better karts will let you be better!

So far I've been unlucky, I've only ever had one on ones against some of Japan's finest.
Needless to say, I get my a*se handed to me.

If you're on Wii Connect24 there's a message waiting for you this morning with the first Mario Kart challenge. Haven't been able to have a go at it yet though.

Just got a breath of life of this game today, online with my mate, on the Coconut Mall track.
Some idiot comes along on as we're all about to go up the escalators, and rams me and him onto the slow side, which puts us both nicely to 11th and 12th.
Anyways, It comes down to the last lap, and I've only pulled it back to 9th, and the beauty of a game gives me invinsiblity for the car park section. I thrash my way through laughing manically to myself.
I'm now second, last corner, a blue shell comes shooting past and hits the girl with a rating of 8600-odd. Oh the luck, I shoot past her and straight into first =D
Joy, ladies and gentlemen. Joy.
