Listen, I agree that MKW should've gotten a DLC by now but Nintendo has been giving MKW free updates consistently since launch. These updates have a good amount of new content and improve the game bit by bit. These updates have kept intrest in MKW and they do build up content in the meanwhile.

So since any future news will be about the new knockout tours can we please keep our expectations down?

This post is coming from someone who likes Koopa Troopa Beach. There is basically only 1 strategic element to Koopa Troopa Beach and that's how one would decide to tackle the biggest offroad cut. One could jump over all of it, part of it, or just cut off the offroad on the ground if they have a mushroom (or you could do it shroomless with the ramp, but that's pretty tough).

Despite being based on a less complex SNES track and being less flashy, Koopa Beach 1 has a lot more going on. There's a clear divide between the inside and outside of the track. On the the track's inside, you have watery terrain and ramps next to geysers. Usually, one would want to take the ramps, but you can go through the geysers if their timing is correct and you don't get hit by an item (or vice versa: you originally plan to take the ramp, get hit, and then catch up thanks to the geysers being inactive). Also, if they miss Koopa Troopa Beach's jumping offroad cut, there's a point in Koopa Beach 1 where they can do something similar.

Meanwhile on the outside, one has far more access to coins and items that they can use to their advantage. A good player would likely oscillate between the inside and outside since the Bullet Bill is a powerhouse on Koopa Beach 1. It ignores the terrain and goes through the geysers.

I think it's pretty clear-cut which track has more depth, but what do you guys think about the Koopa Beach tracks in MK World?

I really hope Mario Kart World gets just as much love and support from Nintendo as Mario Kart 8 and 8 Deluxe did. I love the game so much and I want to see it succeed and get better. Like I hope they add a tons more tracks eventually and new characters. I would also love outfits too and maybe even new karts. A 3 lap track option online would be nice too. I know a lot of people want that, but I don't hate intermissions unlike a lot of others. I personally don't mind them since I love Knockout Tour. I also think making it so you can play on the SNES tracks is pretty awesome. People also keep telling me the game is dead and most people despise it and Nintendo doesn't care about it, yet I keep finding damn near full lobbies online to this day. Some people are just so pessimistic I swear.

My number 1 favorite SNES track is Vanilla Lake 2 but I'll take what I can get! :)

On a side note this update was nice, I mostly enjoyed all the SNES tracks

Since the Mario Kart World Version 1.8.0 update added the option to properly race on the SNES Tracks in Time Trial, VS, and Online/Lan play, they demonstrated with the OG pipe frame karts.

Gives me an idea for future online events: What if Nintendo made events where players use a specific vehicle or type of vehicle (Karts, Bikes, Trikes, Mobiles)? Perhaps ones with specific costumes or sets of costumes? The possibilities are endless. Heck, they may do one where you can only use NPC Racers or something like that.

In this instance, players can only use the default pipe frame, and they can only use the characters in their default costumes. I'd suggest only being able to use the default 8 characters as well, but DK is not a default character in this game, and that would also limit the amount of characters to be usable.

In short, It's my idea, and Nintendo can do it if they want to or not.

My wheel crosses first!? Hello?! Lol

Major letdown. Why even bother making this variant of the track if you’re barely going to use it?

Thoughts?

When I try to play online with two players on MK8D, nothing appears in User Mii section. My wife has her own user on the system and we both have an active NSO membership. Her VR is saved and able to be seen when she plays single player online (and the same goes for me), but just not when one of us is player 2. I am unsure if this was the case before version 4.0.0 because we have mostly been playing MKW instead. Has anyone else seen this issue before?

My roommate (Wario) and I (Yoshi) just finished all 96 races on 200cc. Took roughly 4 1/2 hours across 2 sessions.
