​

Banned Switch users, start your engines! The next game in our GBAtemp tournament week is Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, specifically focusing on LAN play so users with banned Switches can still play! (Of course, users with unbanned Switches are also able to participate.) To access LAN play features on Mario Kart 8, just press L + R and click in on the left analog stick on the main menu screen. If you need help setting up LAN play on your console, check out this page here.

The tournament will kick off at 12pm CDT (1pm EDT, 5pm GMT, 4am ACT, 7pm CET). We'll be hosting multiple cups, with the winners of each cup moving onto the next round until we reach the finals. The winner of the final cup will walk away with a $25 gift card! If you're interested in joining, post in the thread below. For clarity's sake, we encourage you to post your Switch's account name when you sign up so we have a clear understanding of who's who.

This is the server we'll be connecting to: kirbfeels.throwbackcountdown.com:11451

To break it down, what you'll need to do if you're a first-timer to LAN-play...
1. Grab the improved version of WinPcap, called Npcap.
2. Grab Switch LAN Play from GitHub. Here.
3. On your Switch, set your IP to 10.13.?.? where "?" represents any range between 10.13.0.1 and 10.13.255.254
4. Now, set your subnet to 255.255.0.0 and your gateway to 10.13.37.1
5. Next, you'll set your primary DNS as 163.172.141.219 and secondary as 207.246.121.77
6. You're almost there! Get the server address in the paragraph above and copy and paste it into the lanplay program on your computer. It should connect.
7. Now, connect to the internet on your Switch, and go to Mario Kart 8.
8. Press L+R+L3 to activate LAN mode.
9. Join the room!

Please make sure you have the latest version of the game (1.7.1)

If this is your first time using LAN play on the Nintendo Switch, we ask you to make sure you can connect to the server before the tournament starts so you have time to troubleshoot any potential issues. Give yourself about 20 minutes to work through the process and avoid any potential delays in getting the tournament started.

And don't worry if you've got a clean Switch and don't want to go through the trouble of setting it up for LAN play, because we'll be having a Mario Kart 8 Deluxe tournament using regular online features this Saturday! Good luck to all of our entrants!

"LAN play" - "Local Area Network play".
How close do we need to be? Hopefully it's not closer than 2m.
