The shortcut...you mean over the hill with the item box that always gives good items...or is there another?

Re: Mario Kart DS: Online Meeting thread/Friend codes
 

Yeah that one...

Re: Mario Kart DS: Online Meeting thread/Friend codes
 

I just got this (along with the DS) today. My friend code is:

073075
593245


I'm new, though, so if anyone plays me... Take pity :)


/me shrugs and walks away

Re: Mario Kart DS: Online Meeting thread/Friend codes
 

Added.

Sometimes when playing someone really bad I slow down and let them almost win so they'll stick through all four tracks instead of thinking its hopeless and log off.

Re: Mario Kart DS: Online Meeting thread/Friend codes
 

Whenever I play someone really good, I stick through all four races (sometimes more) even if I don't stand a chance...


/me shrugs and walks away

Re: Mario Kart DS: Online Meeting thread/Friend codes
 

Care for a race now?

Re: Mario Kart DS: Online Meeting thread/Friend codes
 

Man, I suck...


/me shrugs and walks away


Edit: About what time would I need to hit the gas for the boost at the beginning? I can never figure that out...


/me shrugs and walks away again

Re: Mario Kart DS: Online Meeting thread/Friend codes
 

Press gas right before the 2 disappears...after its sound.

Re: Mario Kart DS: Online Meeting thread/Friend codes
 

It is worth it to drift boost?


/me shrugs and walks away

Re: Mario Kart DS: Online Meeting thread/Friend codes
 

Very worth it.

Re: Mario Kart DS: Online Meeting thread/Friend codes
 

Shall demonstrate snaking.

Re: Mario Kart DS: Online Meeting thread/Friend codes
 

Is there a way to do it in straight a ways? I can only do it on turns, and I'm not very quick yet, so...


/me shrugs and walks away

Re: Mario Kart DS: Online Meeting thread/Friend codes
 

Just takes some practice. And find it easier if the handling of the kart is a lot more than its drift.

Re: Mario Kart DS: Online Meeting thread/Friend codes
 

I'll.... figure it out... Eventually...


/me shrugs and walks away

Re: Mario Kart DS: Online Meeting thread/Friend codes
 

Yay! You didn't... Let me win, did you?


/me shrugs and walks away

Re: Mario Kart DS: Online Meeting thread/Friend codes
 

I'm a thinkin' I'm done for now... It was fun. I'll get better ^_^'


/me shrugs and walks away

Re: Mario Kart DS: Online Meeting thread/Friend codes
 

Well...fell off on that one part on purpose...refreshing dip...but did beat me fair and square with that mushroom combo. Good racing. I gotta get back to work now.

Re: Mario Kart DS: Online Meeting thread/Friend codes
 

Play 50cc, all cups. It's a piece of cake to get 3 stars when it's so easy to boost all the time.

Other than that it's just talent. ;)

Re: Mario Kart DS: Online Meeting thread/Friend codes
 

Got my 2 stars today. :D
Gonna be mighty hard to get 3 on every single cup.

Was racing someone online on Figure-8. We're both snaking but my arm was so fatigued from playing today to get the 2 star ranking that I just couldn't pull it off. Never thought I'd lose a video game due to muscle fatigue.

Re: Mario Kart DS: Online Meeting thread/Friend codes
 

I'd get my rightful three stars if I didn't have a test tomorrow.

Oh life.

I've got them for 50/100/some of 150. The retro courses are pretty much a given for me.

Re: Mario Kart DS: Online Meeting thread/Friend codes
 

I actually have more trouble on the retro courses. I didn't really get into the series untill DD. Played a little MK64 before but no 16bitness...well a dribble of Super Circuit but found Konami Crazy Racers to be a much better game so played more of that on GBA.

Got 3 stars for all 50/some for 100/and for some reason more 3 stars on 150 than 100/and so far just two 3 star cups on Mirror.

Re: Mario Kart DS: Online Meeting thread/Friend codes
 

Got beat for the first time in a long time. 3 star Dry Bones. So close to beating him.

Re: Mario Kart DS: Online Meeting thread/Friend codes
 

What Kart did he use?

Re: Mario Kart DS: Online Meeting thread/Friend codes
 

Dry Bomber.

Re: Mario Kart DS: Online Meeting thread/Friend codes
 

Pff, lame.

Re: Mario Kart DS: Online Meeting thread/Friend codes
 

I'm so proud of myself... I got two, count'em, two stars... and now I'm working on my three...

Re: Mario Kart DS: Online Meeting thread/Friend codes
 

It amazes me sometimes what wikipedia has: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/snaking

Re: Mario Kart DS: Online Meeting thread/Friend codes
 

Penguin joins the online world of Mario Kart.. by getting beat by Danny.

Anyhow, friend code

133206-340527

Name is Penguin

Re: Mario Kart DS: Online Meeting thread/Friend codes
 

Got a larger then expected paycheck so I took my $25 best buy gift card and splurged at it. Got MK: DS, DS Charger (I lost mine a few months ago somehow...), Advance Wars Second Strike (may or may not keep it..they didnt have Animal Crossing in stock but I may not open it and exchange it later :D ) and the WiFi dongle thing Ninty has since I didnt want to have to sit around after buiying a wireless router and configuring it today since I work in a few hours and just want to mess around.

I'll get friend code shortly...

Friend code is: 532638-898582

Re: Mario Kart DS: Online Meeting thread/Friend codes
 

The New update fixed it for me! I just had a successful game!

Friend code:
025830
324952

Woooo!

Re: Mario Kart DS: Online Meeting thread/Friend codes
 

Nothing now?

And they have patches? Nintendo does patches? I'm actually pretty glad about that. :)

Re: Mario Kart DS: Online Meeting thread/Friend codes
 

Wait what do you mean? No snaking online anymore or what?

Re: Mario Kart DS: Online Meeting thread/Friend codes
 

It means "snaking" is not worth an article, and the admins have taken it down. I agree with them.

Re: Mario Kart DS: Online Meeting thread/Friend codes
 

Awe explained how to snake with diagrams and whatnot and how though considered unfair by some it's a legit tatic.

And what are these patches you speak of?

Re: Mario Kart DS: Online Meeting thread/Friend codes
 

Nintendo might've requested it taken down.

Re: Mario Kart DS: Online Meeting thread/Friend codes
 

That patch? :( Or wasn't it a patch?

Re: Mario Kart DS: Online Meeting thread/Friend codes
 

Hey, when do most of you guys get on, if there's any normal time at all? I've never been able to find anyone from here online...


/me shrugs and walks away

Re: Mario Kart DS: Online Meeting thread/Friend codes
 

Well, I usually get on about 9:00 eastern... until maybe... midnight? I dont get on as much as I used to though.

Ok, this is a little off topic, but remember when we saw the "hacked" video of Mk when the dude played on Tick Tock Clock...

That ,my friends, is very true... because I played on Shroom Ridge and Bowsers Castle online...

And he was picking different courses also, Peach Gardens and Waluigi Pinball to name a few. The players' name was AP... I was very intrigued in how to do it... so I tried different button combinations, and touching the screen in specific places, but nothing seemed to work...

Both courses were working just fine, I wish Nintendo had'nt taken them out... because they are very well made courses... especially Shroom Ridge.

Re: Mario Kart DS: Online Meeting thread/Friend codes
 

They took them out because of minor graphical glitches. For instance, when you get shot out of the tower for Bowser's castle, it appears that your character falls down instead of shooting up, on other people's screens.

Nobody has a solid idea of how it's done but we're thinking it has something to do with transferring stuff to the GBA slot.

Re: Mario Kart DS: Online Meeting thread/Friend codes
 

The AGB slot is used?
