Off top off my head as im at work - you go into the online mode - NWF or whatever its called in there theres 3 options click friends and your code should appear in the middle of the screen then add all the above listed codes into the friends list and when they accept you will be able to see them online when there on you game code will be 3 blocks of 4 numbers

Someone might be able to look on there console and give exact instructions as I can only remember bits so sorry if im way out

 

You can see it when you first load up MK and select your driver / licence. The 3x4 digit code is shown above your name. You have a diff code for each driver listed on your Wii.

Havent had much of a chance to play but have completed all 100cc cups at gold last night and will do 150cc tonight so I can unlock all the extras. Is there anything more you can do to unlock anything? Managed to get grade A in one cup - but seems pretty random how its worked out.

Simon

 

Dont wanna teach you to suck eggs but your aware of a) drifting in manual mode to get the mini-turbo and b) on bikes you can pull a wheelie to accelerate faster?

Simon

 

im goin to do some of the races tonight to unlock things, ive only ever raced on line, and many times im first and then get myself lost,

Come on chaps keep the list all nice and in order

 

Well Ive added most on that list but only spoons, nut and steve have added me

Simon

 

Ive not been on for the past few days so not had chance to add the recent additions - but ive only had 3 peeps accept so far

 

i was on till 1230 last night, some online and some offline (to learn the tracks) the times im leaping over a big gap and somebody hits me and send me falling into the gap, ive lost count

 

the track with the under water tunnel the graphics are brill

 

Do you have to do anything specific? Ive added most and I thought if they then add me thats all it takes. Or do I have to look somewhere specific to accept a new request?

Simon

 

Not sure as - all I did was fire out about 8 requests then the next time I logged on 3 people showed up - spoons ETC - I will have to have a look to see if anyones sent me a request - if not I will send one to the remainder of the list

 

where do you go to see if anyone has added me?

when you go to the screen...

CREATE A ROOM
FRIENDS ROSTER
FRIENDS


do i go to create a room and search for 'friends', do they only get found if I've been added on their list?

 

both people need to add each other for it to register I think

noticed you was playing - I managed to join a game with spoons twice - but my wifi was playing up and it kicked me out in the middle of the race

5 people out of the 13 person list have accepted come on people wakey wakey - get all these names added

 

I'll go on now and see what happening

 

svs - Im sure Ive done yours but will repeat tonight.

Played a little bit last night and told me spoons came on line just as I was about to logoff.

Are there different ways to do a fast launch as even when on the front of the grid and launching fast people are beating me to the first corner. Or does it depend on what kart your in i.e. faster accelerating ones do just that (doesnt seem to apply for me though).

Must admit I like playing on the bikes as easier to do tricks with the wheel (as when in a kart I find I also steer in one direction too much). Hopping to drift on close connecting corners is a nightmare with the wheel - have to be really quick and specific. Gonna get a gamecube controller and see how I get on with that.

Simon

 

ive added you P1 so add me again and hopefully it will work

im the same with starting - everyone seems to set off like they have a turbo

any tips peeps

 

does everyone use Automatic karts... ie: not the manual setting?

 

I use the automatic setting at the moment but I'm going to try the manual soon as you get the extra little boost out of the corners when power sliding.

Did anyone have trouble connecting last night? It wouldn't let me on at all!

Steve.

 

I was having a nightmare on Rainbow Road with the wheel, swapped to remote & nunchuk and its sooooo much easier.

To get the fastest start, you start accelerating on 2 when his arm is in the 11 o'clock position.

Not sure how much the different types of kart affects the start, but in the game makes a big difference if you get spiny shelled for e.g - some take ages to get back up to speed.

 

Im going to try that

 

Ive got a gamecube controller arriving today but am out tonight so will have to give it a crack tomorrow night.

Its just so annoying with the wheel when you jump one way then quickly the other but it goes the same way and you end up facing a wall or hedge. You lose so much time reversing

Simon

 

Exactly - that's why I use remote & nunchuk, it works a treat

Gamecube or classic controller are probably easier again.

Wow what a difference using the Gamecube controller makes - its like night and day. The wheel is ok for the casual player but I think anyone wanting to play well really needs to use the GC pad. Pulling wheelies and doing tricks using the keypad is so much easier with no chance of going off at an angle.

Managed to gain about 500 pts in 45 mins last night

Still find some weird goings on during games. Last night I was 3rd and just starting the 3rd lap on Mushroom Gorge. From the map I could see 2nd and first fighting it out half way around the map. As I crossed the start/finish line for that final lap a blue shell sound came and it then proceeded to take me out and not go for 1st place player. Afaik there is no way to dodge the blue shell other than slam on the brakes and hope someone behind takes your place in time (if they are indeed close enough for it to be worth trying).

Simon

 

I had acouple of games using the nunchuck - and that was easyer - I will have to get a GC controller

P1 I still dont think its added you weird as youve added me and ive added you
