Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.
Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?

Didn't see any recent MK8 threads, so I thought I should make one. I've been having a blast with this so far. I just uploaded a video to test out how it works.

30 second video. The person playing Shy Guy is a friend of mine who had a serious streak of bad luck right at the finish line after being in 1st most of the race.

This game is beautiful. I fell off of the N64 Rainbow Road remake just from staring at the background too long.

Obligatory gifs, because these are amazing.

EDIT: Darn it Sveta, all my hard work down the drain. :<

The track design, the music, the visuals, all are incredible. I've got some replays of my own; I'll add those when I'm less tired.

Didn't get the game yet because as luck would have it, I was sick on the release day up until now.
@gifs We all know that Peach is the most evil character. Those of you who played Mario Party and Double Dash will understand.

Yeah, I love the music. Final lap of Moo Moo Meadows is candy to my ears.

Bwahaha, oh Peach. Gotta love her.

I would play as Rosalina but she's a heavy weight apparently. So I stick with Peach.

My Nintendo ID is JokersSpecter if anybody wants to add me. Even if we don't play, there's always Miiverse!

I spent so much on the Wii U bundle (the one with NSMBU and Luigi) and just bought Super Mario 3D World.

Hope you all will be active in playing this one month from now because I plan to buy MK8 then.

Also I am looking forward to playing as Wendy. Always liked her since SMB3 and World.

Also we can have up to two players on a single Wii U online right? Cause my husband can play with you all as well.

I will definitely be getting it around that time as well.

Nice! That's the bundle I got. It had the best value at the time.

Mario Kart is one of those games I consistently go back to, even if I do take a break. I'm sure I'll be playing here and there in the future, and most likely I'll still be playing it a month from now.

Why don't you like the heavyweights? I was looking around and the bumpers and zero gravity areas would be ideal for them. More weight=bigger bounce on opponents.

Those are some great benefits, but I find that I consistently place lower when I play as a heavyweight class. I think the lower handling and acceleration just cripples me more than those heavy benefits help me. It's even more-so when you play with other players who can keep up with you and hit you constantly, so you're trying to get back up to that top speed.

I've seen some players do great with heavyweights, but myself? I'm awful with them.

Yup, you can! My Nintendo Network is Blue_Toad507, so feel free to add me if anyone wants to play online!

Although I tend to use lighter weight characters I find weight here to be more important than previous titles; I keep getting smacked around quite a bit! Thankfully my current set-up is a nice balance across all aspects and can be altered accordingly for each class.

In fact, I think the Wild Wiggler is probably gonna be my go-to kart unless I see something else that tempts me.

Rosalina's a heavy weight because her face is like Mario-sized, while being proportioned similarly to the other Princesses (Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Walugia have HUGE heads compared to their princesses). Rosalina however isn't short like the Mario Bros, so she's Heavyweight.

AND I LOVE PLAYING AS HER. My girlfriend and I had a blast playing it the other night. :)
