I liked Double Dash. o_o;

64 had the most horrid track designs I've ever seen, and the steering in the later MK games is a lot more fluid. But the track designs are my main complaint - they're just terrible.

TRIFORCE89 March 22nd, 2007 11:09 AM

Yeah, the physics have been much improved since 64. Especially in DS. I think the track designs for 64 were much more in line with what Super Mario Kart brought us on the SuperNES. Only with depth and hills and such.

Super Mario Kart was essentially racing through Super Mario World. Mario Kart 64 was racing through Super Mario 64. Double Dash was just there. Super Circuit, I dunno - but it was fun. XD And DS was a mixture of everything.

I just found Double Dash to be gimmicky with the dual rider thing and I hated how every one was shiny. o.o

Morkula March 22nd, 2007 11:13 AM

You think everything's gimmicky. >O

I kinda liked the dual riders. It was a nice change. I was glad they brought back the traditional one-rider for DS though.

TRIFORCE89 March 22nd, 2007 11:25 AM

Not everything. Only when it is not used to it's full potential. The Wii and the DS are not gimmicky. :p Having two riders just for the sake of saying you get to control two characters - that's gimmicky. I suppose it might've been fun in multiplayer, but I didn't play a lot of that mode.

Yoshistar64 March 23rd, 2007 2:36 PM

You all make a good point, but every Mario Kart franchise is extremely wonderful. Super Mario Kart introduced Mode 7 racing, Mario Kart 64 put a nice touch to 3-D racing, or maybe even started it, Double Dash was cool because of 8 player simultaneous play, each kart having 2 people, and Mario Kart DS controls were responsive, graphics weren't too crazy so that you wouldn't know what was happening, and best of all, schooling people online!

Now you can't complain about anything about Mario Kart.

Double Dash was basically running around the Delfino Plaza and some Sunshine-like world transformations. XD

I have to disagree with you on that one as well. I personally think that two riders was a great addition seeing as it was incredibly fun in multiplayer. I played it with a couple friends and they all said the same thing - fun and addictive. So the two riders kinda were there for a purpose. XD

You stole this club from me ._.;

Morkula April 3rd, 2007 12:09 PM

^That wasn't spam at all. </sarcasm>
Anyway, yeah, kinda hard to manage a club when you're banned and then you leave for Japan. :x

We should really set up some MKDS tournaments or something. It'd be interesting to find out who's the best on PC.

wakachamo April 3rd, 2007 12:19 PM

^I'm afraid of just thinking of getting my butt thrashed by everybody else. XD

Morkula April 3rd, 2007 12:21 PM

You're pretty good at MKDS though, Waka. XD

I used to be really good, but I've gotten rusty because I haven't played in a while. Andy and Aussy pretty much wiped the floor with me the other night... XD

pokejungle April 3rd, 2007 11:49 PM

What about getting together over ACDS? That'd be more fun~

That would actually be a very good idea. It's always fun to have some people in your town, and the other way around. I'd fully support that.

Yeah, that would be cool. I just thought about HOW we could do that. A Metroid Prime Hunters game would be good, because if you wanna take it out on someone you're mad at, you can beat 'im up. Also, we could gang up on the moderators to show them who's boss (kidding).

TRIFORCE89 April 4th, 2007 5:59 PM

You're all ganging up on me. @@

I tried to organize one in the past for Mario Kart. It fell apart. T_T;

Morkula April 4th, 2007 6:05 PM

You wouldn't allow staff to participate. That's why it fell apart. >o

TRIFORCE89 April 4th, 2007 6:06 PM

I was going to have a staff one too. I need some one to ref and watch the matches, didn't I? Why would I not use the staff for that? O_o

Yoshistar64 April 4th, 2007 6:10 PM

^ When did THAT happen? Awww, how can I miss this? If this is hurting your feelings, TRIFORCE, then sorry.

If you tried again next time, then I don't doubt you. You're pro. I just wanna see who I can or can't beat.

TRIFORCE89 April 4th, 2007 6:12 PM

It happened behind the scenes. Oooo...

You can beat me easily.

Abby3563663 April 6th, 2007 1:55 PM

Well, now the staff is significantly slimmer, so maybe it could work. Or at the very least, just have one staff member exclude himself or herself to do the refereeing. You could even do it yourself if you didn't want anyone else to do it. o.o;

Yoshistar64 April 6th, 2007 1:57 PM

Yeah, let's go with what Abby said! I'm desperate to have a Mario Kart tournament. I really wanna challenge Lunux, Croconaw, and Hayate....

Paranoia April 16th, 2007 2:38 AM

Yay, I just joined the DS clan, Woot!... anyway Sync ignore the PM, because I didn't check before I sent it, also since you guys were talking about MKDS, just wondering if any of you's are pro "snakers" and willing to teach me?

I am reasonable at the super drift boost (Orange sparkles), But I don't know for sure if snaking is with the blue sparkles or orange, so yeah if anyone can help please do.

Also did anyone get Hotel Dusk? I have it and it's ok, I haven't played far enough to know how good it is for sure though.

pokejungle April 16th, 2007 3:48 AM

Most people think snakers are cheaters. I don't think we want to teach a new person to cheat.

But yeah, I've used that to beat the NPCs a few times. I was really impressed by all the racers and karts in MKDS.

Paranoia April 16th, 2007 4:27 AM

But it isn't a cheat though, it's considered a cheat, because most people see it as cheating if they can't do it.

pokejungle April 16th, 2007 4:39 AM

Or people just want to race, and don't want to rely on something that is MADE for corners to be used on the straightaways. That's always a good argument too.

I can do it, but I don't support it.

doesn't matter April 17th, 2007 9:54 AM

MKDS is about more than speed anyway. You need to be able to use the items effectively as well. So even if you're competing against snakers, you still have items to use against them. Moreover, they can't really use them as effectively since they're to busy snaking XD

Oh, and my little brother, who's like 7 years old, figured out how to snake on his own XD I was racing him once, and I look at the bottom map to see him swerve from side to side o.o;;;
