Yea, it's pseudo-downloadable. It's a temporary thing, like the demos you download on the DS at stores or on the Nintendo Channel, or the stuff you get from Brawl's wifi service. This is the first they've done anything like this for MK, though. As for ghosts: There are two ghosts per stage, and when you do time trial, you pick a ghost to race against, or one of your own. If you beat it by a lot, you get a faster ghost to race against. They know all the shortcuts and usually make perfect turns, so you need to be really skilled to beat them. It doesn't matter who you are when you race, though the ghost usually matches the stage, like Luigi at Luigi Circuit or whatever. |

Also, I've heard a lot about beating particular ghosts in the game... can somebody explain that to me? Are there special ghost challenges or something that enable you to unlock certain characters? |

I'm talking first ghost. Oh, and since I never said, I've only used the nunchuck config with manual. |

The first ghost or the unlockable ghost? The first ghosts are all piss easy. The unlockable ones are the toughies. |

I decided to try a time trial (Sherbet Land) and was delighted to see a ghost challenger. I like this inclusion, it was decently hard if you don't know exactly how the course works. Or in my case, how to get the boost off the line. However, I'm proud to say I eventually bested the ghost, and was most pleased with myself.

What? Rainbow Road was always a bitch an a half. SNES was all over the place if I recall correctly, and Double Dash had some absurd spirals that were impossible to pull off 100% of the time during a race. 64 was the only one that was easy since they walled off the whole course. DS one was about average. This time, it's got less spiral bullshit and more boosts everywhere. I hate getting Golden Mushrooms on that stage, because I will fall off the stage. I never get Bullet Bills in that stage. |

I felt the exact same way! I always thought Rainbow Road was supposed to be a send-off, a "victory lap" of sorts, not an intense test of mettle. I got gold on the Special Cup--first in all races except RR, in which Baby Mario shoved me off numerous times. I came in eigth, and my ranking overall was a B because of it.

| MarioRPG | The levels are neat, this is the first time I've had trouble with Rainbow Road. Fucking speed-up spots send me off the edge of that one turn... | |

I dunno, but I wish they had chosen live races over "who can beat the stage fastest if we change....THIS?". Also, unlocking shit seems to be random. I replayed one of the 100cc cups to get a star rank, and ended up unlocking Baby Luigi and Funky Kong (lolwut). I like Daisy the best, because she's so goshdarn annoying. Lack of "HII'MDAISY" makes me a sad panda. |

Blue glowy light told me that there was a tournament running today. So I try it out, only to find that they changed the mario circuit map so that the chain chomp is loose and running the opposite way on the course :o I wonder if they're going to change all the levels that they have tournaments on? |

| MLE | The wheel makes it way easier for me to play. If I don't use the wheel, I'll be using the remote/nunchuck controls. Also, I really really love the quacker bike. | |

Last night while I was waiting in line for GTA IV, I was playing this against people and schooling everybody, including most of the employees. Toad wins every time, baby. and I took the controller out of the wheel. It just didn't feel right. It felt small in my hands. So I just used the remote. And kicked ass. |

I hate that the blue shell is broken now. In DS, you could slow down and let the 2nd place guy get it before it explodes. But just now I watched the first place guy zoom ahead while the shell flickered on the bottom of my screen. Totally fair. At least in DD and DS you could manage to ditch it by timing your boost

I roll automatic. Wii wheel with manual is absolutely ridiculous. I went online last night and picked Rainbow Road while everyone else picked stuff like Moonview Highway and Coconut Mall. Rainbow Road got picked and I beat the next-fastest time by 53 seconds. It's hilarious watching everyone drop off at the center part. |

I have noticed that if you ever fall off the course, you get shunted to 12th place immediately. Also with 12 racers, you're going to have 12 people throwing shit at you, and the POW block and lightning hit everyone, so you're going to constantly be mangled by those. At first I was flipping out after getting hit by lightning 4 or 5 times in the same race, and then I noticed that I never lost my place as a result. Thinking about it, if you want to give a newbie a chance to catch up, just making them faster isn't gonna help because they won't know how to control it. Making everyone else slower is probably best. It just takes getting used to. Still hate the blue shells, but it seems like you recover faster from them now. And yes GW, automatic makes turning actually turn. |

Well, drifting IS a huge step backward. Sadly, they couldn't think of any other way to remedy snaking other than to change how sparks worked. I think they could have tried something else, just because there's more skill involved in the old games. Automatic makes turning easier I guess, but not being able to boost really puts you at a disadvantage. One thing I notice in terms of items is that POW Block throws things off balance. It's just way too common to get hit by something. Throwing another item that hits everyone just makes matters worse. And since there's no way to avoid not getting hit by the block (aside from going off a jump), it feels almost broken. I think that's probably my biggest gripe, since I kinda like not having to always snake now. Snaking isn't a whole lot of fun. |
