So I've been playing this game a lot lately. It's so addictive! I've unlocked everything, COMPLETELY everything, except for two characters...Princess Rosalina and Dry Bowser. Does anyone know how to unlock them?

Anyway, I play as Toadette and my favorite kart is the Bit Bike. I hope I'm not the only one who plays this game here...I would like to race some of you guys sometime, or maybe right now even. I'm always up for it.
3094-6155-6276 <-- My friend code, if anyone wants to add me. I'd need to know yours too as well as your nickname.

My nickname is "Umad? :D" Lol, I was random at that time and thought it was funny (I know why I picked it). Decided to stick with it. I rather have my real name hidden from public.

Favorite course of all time: Rainbow Road
Least favorite: Luigi Circuit (It's way too easy.)

Share your friend code here or just talk about the game, basically. :)
 
Sounds like a fun game! I NEVER played on a Wii D8... but I'd like to at some point lol. I have Mario Kart 64 on my old Nintendo 64 console. It's been years since I played it, but it has to be one of my favorite video games of all time! Is Rainbow Road the longest course on Mario Kart Wii? It is on the 64 version and such a long course!
 
Aw, I was hoping you'd have the game, spongygirl! You're one of the people I'd like to race with. xD The Wii is fun, and I recommend you get it. ^^ It's kind of hard to control the Wii remote when you have it in your hand for the first time, but you'll get used to it later on lol.

I never owned an N64, but I have the N64 Mario Kart version on my Wii! I've played it before and it felt...different. XD

I'm not sure if Rainbow Road is the longest course on the Wii version, but it looks like it. O_o A lot of people seem to hate that course, but I love it lol. It was always my first choice whenever I'm in the VS mode.
 
Oh. Where have you been all my life!! I SLAVED for hours on this game until I finally got 3-star rankings in every Grand Prix, yet I had little to no friends to race against online! I was such a boss at this game that I won a tournament at my local gamestop! I really wish I could play with you, but sadly my TV broke some 3 months ago. Maybe one day though...

D'8> That sucks! Man, I know how you feel. >.< You still do have everything in your licsense though, right? You just need a new TV?
And I don't mean to brag, but I am pretty good too. :whistle: I have the golden Wii Wheel edition. I just don't know how to get stars by my name.
 
I lost my disc... :(

And I had everything unlocked too! Hey, I can get a replacement disc...
 
BEST MULTIPLAYER GAME EVER.

I play this game online at least three times a week. Sometimes my sister joins me.
 
I played it for a while, but the Wii stopped being interesting. I now play Gran Turismo 5 online with my friends pretty much every other week.
 
I love this game! I'm not exactly a "hardcore gamer." (I don't slave in front of the TV for hours trying to beat the game.) But I do like to play this game for fun a lot with my sister.
I also had this game for Gamecube, (double-dash) and that was LOTS of fun. I beat that game 100% (after owning it for like 3 years.)
 
@Stinko and Dirty Dan: Cool! I'm glad I'm not the only one who plays it a lot. So...What're your friend codes? XD
 
Sorry, but I can't give out mine either. Due to my home life, I can't really rely on scheduling races, so I mostly just play Worldwide.
 
@DirtyDan: Aww, then how will we race against each other if we're not registered? ;(
I don't think friend codes are supposed to be personal info...Everyone shares them.

@Stinko: OK, that's fine.
 
I really don't anticipate having time to play scheduled races anytime soon. I'm pretty busy, sorry...
 
I love this game.
I'm not a hardcore gamer just like Dirtydan, but it's still a fun game.
Ive unlocked everyone except Toadette and Dry Bowser.
My friend Isaac mastered everything.
Aren't there mirror levels in grand prix?

Yeah I've still got all of the data, but no TV to play it on :(

As far as I know to get star rankings you do the following (I got this from an online forum):

50cc - Make sure you do not hit too many environmental hazards, fall off too often or drive offroad for too long, because all 3 of those directly influence your rank in 50cc! I have had triple star runs with like 3 blue shells a race, 57 points, etc (in 50cc). I compared them to my 60-point, 90% first place triple star runs (in 50cc). They all had the same thing in common: I never fell off or got hit by stuff like chain chomps, crushing ceilings and lava balls.

100cc, 150cc, mirror - Forget about not messing up, as it does not directly influence the ranking like in 50cc. Only two things matter: get 60 points and STAY FIRST. There is a magic percentage for each of the modes, if you do not stay first at least that percentage of the time you will not get a triple star.

Take this as you will, I have played Grand Prix extensively, and from my experience those are the only factors. The reason people think things like falling off in 100cc/150cc/mirror deduct from ranking is because falling off is an indirect influence. What I mean by that is that, while such mistakes do not themselves deduct rank, they can (and usually do) result in the CPU passing you, reducing the % of time you stayed first. I have had plenty of 100cc/150cc/mirror games where I fell off/got hit multiple times at each stage but got the triple star, just because the CPU was still unable to catch up.

I did find one exception to these rules: off-road. I've been experimenting with the Magikruiser in 150cc/mirror Banana Cup and I've noticed that going off-road for too long (without a speed-boosting item) deducts from rank even in mirror. From what I've observed so far, it doesn't deduct much at all and how much it deducts depends on how strong the off-road is (how much it slows you down by). For example, taking the shortcut more than once in Delfino Square without a shroom can deduct a whole star, compared to me having to stay in the blue water in Shy Guy Beach over 50% of the time to produce the same result.

In other words... be perfect 99% of the time and pray you don't get blue shelled.

Wow. o.o That will be kinda hard to accomplish...Is there any way you can block the blue shell?

@cwn: Yes, there are mirror modes. I always get confused and turn the other way x'D (not all the time, but sometimes.)
