Goddamn, 200cc is fast, I love it. gotta make good use of dem brakes, though.

Spoiler

Baby Park is pure chaos, and it's ridiculously easy to lap the last player if you're competent enough. Also, Dry Bowser's bike is sexy as hell.

Spoiler

And a neat detail for Animal Crossing. Not only are the coins replaced by Bells, but when you hit a rock, a Bell pops out of it. It's the little things.

Edit: spoilered because the pics are too big. :v

Oh my gah! Mega Man's Mii racing suit looks so incredibly well detailed and awesome!

I'll wait for the amiibo cards or else it'll remain locked. :-/

Yeah, the Mega Man suit is pretty cool. I also have the Sonic one but haven't worn it yet even though it does look nice. I'll probably post a screenshot eventually.

So I decided to look for Totaka's Song in the second DLC pack, and I found it in Baby Park and Super Bell Subway. I'm downloading crediar's sound rip and I'm going to analyse it to see if there's any sounds of Totaka's Song in the Animal Crossing course, I'm sure it's in there somewhere.

I also want to see what songs K.K. Slider sings and see if they match any of the previous Animal Crossing titles.

And as promised, here's the Sonic suit.

Spoiler

I like the helmet, but I'm not a big fan of the overalls looking thing. The scarf is nice, though.
And cool little detail once again: in Baby Park, the music speeds up every time you finish a lap, for all 7 laps.

God damn these Mii racing suits are so freaking cool!

Do you have Pac-Man too?

Nope, couldn't find a Pac-Man in any store. And to be honest, I'm not a huge fan of the character to begin with.

 

[KingVamp]

Yeah, they are right about using that break. Lol

 

[loco365]

So, it seems crediar didn't include the FSAR in the MK8 DLC1+2 pack (Or is there even one?). I'll have to ask him about that, or perhaps Marionumber1 or NWPlayer123 can weigh in on this (Perhaps if there is one in the DLC packs, can I get a copy? ).

Fair enough.

Pac-Man's amiibo looks as one of the best yet and Pac fans will want to own one regardless if they're into amiibos or not.

Someone who owns him already:

Amazon hasn't dispatched mine yet.

I wonder if their is any hints of a Wii U version of Animal Crossing coming in that DLC pack. Like hidden in the files.

Nope, there isn't one, it's the same as on the original disc.

Doubt it, I've poked around quite a bit and found nothing interesting.

Rats! Thanks for the info anyway. My GF really wish for one so I got hopes for one.

So all the Animal Crossing talk files were on the disc to begin with then? Well then.

Nah, it's all the .bars files

 

[loco365]

Ah. I'll have to find those somehow then. I'm curious as to what K.K. Slider has for a song lineup.

 

[thorasgar]

i think they have dumbed down the coms a bit in 200cc. I am not that good and golded my first two GPs .

Regarding the brakes? The walls are acting as good brakes for me.

 

[WiiCube_2013]

The score of DLC 2 is such a nice treat for VGM fans.. If only Nintendo would release Mario Kart 8 CD plus the music of DLC 1 and 2.

Totally worth getting this pack too!

Baby Park feels like only lasts for a minute or so as it ends so quickly.

Though I disable online now. Played alot and that was a fun afternoon

You don't play Mario Kart 8 online?

If it weren't for the online portion I'd have stopped playing MK8 ages ago.

I did. But I'm not much into online content. I play with friends on the couch :>
