I know some of us on the forums are lucky enough to have Mario Kart on the Wii or know people with the Game, so i figured, for a little bit of fun. Why not do some Gameaday time trials.(no actual prizes can be won)
Basically, i will start with a track and within the next 24 hours, post your best LAP AND TOTAL CIRCUIT TIME of that track, then the next poster after the winner can name a new track to try it on.

Now i know you could cheat if you want to but i think the winner should submit picture evidence! or i know a lot of you have got each others FC and you should be able to see the time.

Please note that the best Lap time and Best Total time are underline, in bold and italic
The League works like this:
1st place gets 4 points, 2nd place gets 2 and 3rd place gets 1
There is a league for both total time on the track and an individual Lap, so make sure you post both!


The Third Track - We need to ensure that some people start stealing points for circuit time, or else it will be a 3 man race for 1st place! Good luck

I think I know the problem - Nintendo doesn't save everyones ghost data online - only the fastest persons. So you can only send your data to someone, you can't download theirs.

Grandprix has to send his data to you, rather than you get it from him, if that makes sense?

Any chance of changing it from fastest lap to total time? You can see the times of all your friends online, but only for the total time.

What problems are you having? It seems if I want to send you my Ghost data, I just go to the Mario Kart Channel -> Rankings -> Time Trial Rankings -> I see you at the top of my friends ranking page. I click on you and choose Send Ghost Data.

Which I've actually clicked on now, so you have the simple challenge of knocking me down now ^-^

Emmie, is there any chance you can post the range of current user lap times for Peach Beach in your original post?

I'll be giving this a whirl later so it will make it a lot easier to see how far behind everyone I will be :P

I'm not too fond of the Retro ones.

Watching other peoples ghosts is a good way to learn, even if it's just a time a second faster than yours.

I'll have a look at the options and see if I can sort out the ghost problem.

I used to use Yoshi as he my fav character. and i got about a27 second lap with him.

But i am using King Boo with the Off-roader at the moment. But still occasionally use The Turbo Blooper with Yoshi as it's a good kart
