    So after playing 4 200cc cups. I have no problem not braking in the game. The key is to predrift, and sometimes not to take the jump boost in order to get yourself into position.

    Damn I have to finish all the cups now. Do I need to do that to play 200cc online?
    Actually now that I think of it, does it ever tell you if your in a 150cc race or whatever while racing online?

    It's out now, but you have to first get golds in everything else.
    Boo!

    Well I just won every race online by a country mile this afternoon. I really love 200cc but I guess some people aren't quite in tune with it yet :D

    Also Baby park starting grid is on the other side of the track. :P

    Are you telling me you have to gold cup everything to play 200cc??

    That's bs right there if that's the case I have the 50 and 100cc golded but didn't bother doing all of the 150cc's as it gets frustrating at times. I don't have a lot of patience.

    Disappointed in the Crossing tracks based on a first play. Fairly standard additions, bar the returning mayhem of Baby Park.

    Bell Cup, however, is ****ing spectacular. Some of the trickiest, meanest and cleverest tracks in the game, and they all look magnificent to boot.

    EDIT: Baby Park on 200cc. Laps are around 12 seconds long. Absolute madness ensues.

    I really love this game, but every time I come back to it, I have two qualms with it:

    1. I really really miss having the ability to store a second weapon when you activate shells or bananas, and
    2. Why did they remove the ability to wipe away squid ink when you hit a turbo ramp or use a mushroom?

    These two features have been around for a while, and I miss them especially after games of MK7 on 3DS, did they ever explain why they were inexplicably left out, other than making it a different experience?

    I just unlocked the 200cc and the mirror class. I'd forgotten all about that mirror class and ive never actually played it! Nice!
    P.s you don't need to get gold in the dlc classes to unlock the 200cc I thought you did.

    Jesus, never mind 200cc, that's gonna be a nightmare on 150cc...and Mirror Cup! Bloody hell.

    Potential 3rd DLC on the way. I assume it's to bolster their weak E3 lineup.
    Still good to see though! Fingers crossed for some proper battle arenas too.

    Anyone else have a problem with eyes watering like mad when playing 4 player split screen?

    I have a 46 inch tv

    everyone else seems fine - I just die.. I literally cannot play, my vision is fine, no idea

    You're suffering from dry eyes. I suspect you're not blinking sufficiently as you're glued to the screen, so your tear film dries out and the eyes start to water to compensate. Try to blink more, or use some artificial drops as required
