Added you.

Thanks for the link Nate!

I'm still deciding if I should bother picking this up. I still haven't finished collecting stuff in Smash bros nor have I completed Bully yet. Still, if I get some extra cash, it couldn't hurt to get an extra "5 free minutes so let's play a quick race" game

Damn, I'll be outta town this weekend.

News Credits: 6 · by **City Commander** » Thu May 15, 2008 3:25 pm

Doesn't matter, there are many, many weekends to come yet!
We shall have to sort out a time when a load of us can get on together. Some time in late June or such.

New competition up! Pass through 10 gates in order on the SNES mario battle map!

I got a time of 1:12. I shall try and improve it tomorrow.

Okay my net is operational again, and I can play online.

my Mario Kart code is 0516 8084 1504.

Not sure how often I'll get to race against the rest of you, considering the time difference.

Also added Trunks.

Updating first post with I_amtrunks.

You'd be surprised mate. I like to play from 4:00 pm GMT to well after midnight. The odds are pretty good.

I used my dear Mii on his mach bike.
But I may get the old kart out and try powersliding the entire thing... :-?

I tried karts and bikes, 1:12 is the best I can do with the damn wheel.

That's the same problem I have with Smash Bros. Being on west coast time and having a late work schedule, most of you guys are well past midnight by the time I get home.

Dude, I'm Central timed and I stay up to watch Transformers Animated when it airs at 5 am. :lol:

Get Mariokart and I will be available.

News Credits: 6 · by **City Commander** » Sat May 17, 2008 7:03 am

I'm available late into the night, and usually until 3 or 4 in the morning.

Finding us won't be that difficult

Probably not the right thread for this, but how do I pick the GameCube controller for use on solo mode?

I can use it for player 2 in multiplayer but I want to use it in single action.

News Credits: 6 · by **City Commander** » Tue May 20, 2008 12:38 pm

I consider it appropriate.

I'm not too sure, since I've only ever used the wheel...

Does the manual have anything useful to say?

News Credits: 1 · by **Venomous Prime** » Tue May 20, 2008 3:22 pm

I figured it out

Just gotta press A at the screen that says "Press A" with the GC controller

If you got the means, we'll have to do someW Wifi some time.

Locust finally got Mario Kart. bought on a whim. Probably won't race for a short while, still got to practice. But here's info nonetheless.

Friend code: 2277-7632-9105
Wii code: 0110-5883-4142-4104

It's probably just me, but having the wii wheel dangling off my wrist by a strap makes me think I'm carrying one of the Predator's disc weapons, although I'm pretty sure this would do far more damage.

News Credits: 6 · by **City Commander** » Wed May 28, 2008 7:52 am

I find the strap infuriating. I don't use the strap at all any more (I know I'm not gonna fling the wiimote across the room), so it just dangles over the wii wheel, and flaps around when I'm turning corners.

It's like having a small child sat on your lap while you're driving 8-}

sorry for jumping in here, i played mario kart wii and i like it alot however i havent found much good about the bike besides turning. can someone tell me any other uses for them.

Wheelies.

Superior coolness.

Faster, lighter, tighter cornering.

I beat the entire game on a bike (except, obviously, 50cc). I highly recommend them. They leave the karts in the dust.

as sad as it is, I have yet to figure out how to pull a wheelie.

News Credits: 349 · by **Bed Bugs** » Fri May 30, 2008 10:21 pm

If using the Wii Wheel or Nunchuck, you simply have to jerk the Wiimote in an upward direction (same thing you do to do a trick on the jumps). The wheelie will end after a certain distance, or by bumping into another driver.

To avoid slowing down from bumping into another driver, use the hop button to cancel the wheelie prematurely.

News Credits: 6 · by **City Commander** » Sat May 31, 2008 5:59 am

Or in the case of wii wheel driving, just tilt the wiimote back to the normal position quickly.

For the first weekend, I had no clue how people were wheelieing. I couldn't figure it out at all.

Gah, there's still three weeks until I can play MK again. Damn exams.
