Really wish Mario Kart wii's online didn't have to shut down. Anyone else remember playing this game and really enjoying it? It was the best game in the series in my opinion, I never had problems with it at all. Unlike most who seem to think the items are unfair or something.
This is the Mario Kart wii thread, you'll be able to talk about Mario Kart wii and maybe the other kart games for a bit, but don't forget this is mainly for Wii. So, let's get into why I like this game better than 8
First off.
Not only is it annoying, but it's probably the most useless "item" (if you could call it one) in the whole series. It does nothing in the long run of the race. If you don't have protection in first, you're most likely gonna lose. Also on the last lap, behind everyone...I don't need a coin, I need something to either help myself or to screw someone over.
Not to mention, more often then not you'll even get a worse item than the people in front of you. What's the deal? I got a green shell in 6th, the two people just in front of me got triple shooms, and I got a green shell. That didn't cost me the game but holy damn ! NINTENDO!
I mean, come on! AND WHO IN THE RIGHT MIND GIVES SOMEBODY TRIPLE RED SHELLS IN 2ND?! GET GOOD IF YOU ARE THAT FAR BEHIND TO GET THOSE.
-----------------------
Mario Kart 8 has a lot of flaws, so much so that it is more rage than actual fun. Mario Kart wii however? that was something called fun, and little to no rage. Of course, you'd have your funky kongs bumping you off the stage but at the end of the day all those funky's weren't a problem, I could easily catch up to them with any character. Mario Kart wii isn't perfect either, the karts were useless and only CPU's used them.
Join any modded MKWii server, everyone will be using bikes. Aside from Billy, Billy likes karts. People will make the argument "But it's Mario KART! not Mario bike" and to that, I say suck it up! if you want to use a kart, by all means. You can get better drifts from those and I won tons of online games with the default kart. It isn't impossible. I also loved the fact I could be in front for long periods of time without worrying about items, as I'll always have two, and if one breaks, easily take out the other item, get another item box and back to two items!
Did I mention Mario Kart 8 promotes not using items in first? if you use one, you better pray to god you get another item that isn't a coin. Also did you notice the amount of green shells that hit you? was never like this in the other Kart games, and if it was I probably have dumb luck in Kart 8.
(The title's also a joke, I like Mario Kart 8.)

- NO COINS

- Items were not based on distance

- one item
