Regarding the newly announced DLC, if you thought Metal Mario and Pink Gold Peach were unnecessary addition, they decided to give Tanooki Mario and Cat Peach their own slots rather than Zelda and Birdo or King Boo. Doesn't Nintendo care about continuity and time paradoxes in their Mario titles, especially the spin-offs?
There is no continuity. I'm awfully sure I've read Miyamoto once say that these characters are like Mickey and Minnie with Disney. Or the Muppets. They're "actors" playing a role.

Yet they added Link, who is from a series that takes its continuity more seriously than Mario, unless this is Link's incarnation for modern times.

I'll be happy to join the event! I'd probably get stomped... but it would be fun to join. I go by Gate.

Just so everyone knows, I've now extended the racing from a single day to the entire Labor Day weekend! This will give as many people as possible a chance to play and ensure we all have an awesome time!
You are awesome! Thank you, I'm looking forward to it!

Hey! I know you're new here, so just a warning: Try to avoid double-posting. If you're the last poster, just edit your post and add to it, rather than creating a new one. :)

Awesome! Really looking forward to seeing everyone there!

So are we waiting 1:45 for Eastern Time midnight or 4:45 for Pacific Time midnight?
There is no time-zone option on the tournament settings, but I would hazard a guess that it begins at YOUR midnight? I'm really not sure, to be honest. D: It's set to begin August 30 at 00:00, which is exactly midnight. I suppose give it a shot if you're up at midnight, cause it's only 9:40PM here. I'll check it at midnight my time to be sure.

I actually just checked a few min ago and it said 2AM my time and-- I just realized! It seemed weird cause I'm in Eastern right now but really my Wii U is still in Central time so it was midnight Pacific. I get it! :3 I'm sleeping soon so I won't get to it tonight but I'll play either Saturday night or Sunday/Monday for sure!

The event is live!

Alright folks! Things are underway and it's been a blast since the start! A few people on the leaderboard, so get to racing if you wanna win some fun prizes!

Best moment of the event so far: I had a red shell in first; bobandbill was in second. I slammed on my brakes to let him pass so I could red shell him (a little unsportsmanlike behavior never hurt anyone), but he hit his brakes as he saw me hitting mine. We were parked next to each other and I threw the shell, missing him. It was hilarious if you saw it because he knew exactly what I was doing.

Post in this thread to let us know you're joining or in the lobby so everyone else can hop on too!

That was pretty funny. I am clearly rusty though because I keep throwing races, haha.

Taking a break, may be back on in a few hours or so though!

i forgot it was mirrored mode! ugh the urge to turn the wrong way hurts so much!
Haha, I know. It's sort of tricky and messes with your mind. Thanks for some good races though! I'm going to eat some breakfast, but I'll hop on again shortly if you're still around!

Otherwise, everyone else please just post in here to let other racers know when you're on and waiting! :)

Also a side note, I will not be receiving either of the exclusive emblems! Right now I have the top score, but I will only count one of YOU that has the highest score! That means...keep on racin'! :D

I'll be puttering around and ready to play whenever anyone else is, so let me know here and I'll hop on too! :)
I'll be on in about an hour; just going to shower and then go out to Gamestop and get that Wii U (considering Nintendo botched me by not processing my order when I tried to get it the other day...)
