Is 200cc the time for my Wendy riding a scooter with cushion tires to shine? Will it finally ascend to something other than hilarious masochism?

I actually found that track easy with my setup. If I don't mess up, I don't even have to brake on it.

Been playing 200cc and the new tracks for the last couple of hours and having a lot of fun! 200cc really is fast and demands that you play the game significantly differently than you normally would on 150cc. It's super exhilarating and the speed feels great, but it can be frustrating when you totally screw up corners and fall off the track in areas that you know you can do perfectly with your eyes closed on 150cc. 
The new tracks are mostly great, though Baby Park is kind of dull now and I'm not particularly feeling GBA Ribbon Road. Surprisingly, though, I'm really enjoying 3DS Neo Bowser City here even though it was among my least favorite tracks in Mario Kart 7. Don't really know why that is, considering the track itself is mostly unchanged. I guess the gorgeous visuals help, but it just feels faster and more fun here for some reason.
By the way, for those of you who don't have some of the uncommon/rare amiibo but would like to see the costumes in action, I've been uploading demonstrations of some of them! Check 'em out if you want:
Mega Man
Sonic
Rosalina
Toad
Bowser (not rare, but hey)

Seems to be unchanged.

This is undoubtedly a silly question, but the Bowser Amiibo from the Super Mario series isn't specifically required to unlock the Bowser suit, right? I would assume the Smash series Bowser Amiibo would work the same. Just thought it was odd that they included the Super Mario series version in the graphic.
Oh this is horseshit, says I need 1.8gb and sends me to data management. I see that the Wii u has over 2gb available but the USB stick is almost full. No problem I guess it installs directly to the USB. Move stuff over and get over 2gb on the stick. Relaunch and I get the same prompt.
Dammit Nintendo what gives!!

Holy shit, just tried the dlc, the 3 last tracks from the last cup are AMAZING!
Also tried big blue in 200CC and its freaking crazy.

It's not silly question but both Bowser Amiibo would work. Same for other characters who have double Amiibo.

Alright, thank you. I finally learned how to use fire hop in time trails but I doubt that I would do it online tho.
I can see how useful it is.

It's great. I am pretty terrible at the final lap section, but do well for most of the rest of it. Need to get that last part down. Sometimes I end up in a weird drift/float off the track and sometimes don't manage to land back on it. Not sure if it's just me or an issue with that section of the game.

It starts out tame.
Then you get to an anti-gravity section.
Then things go to hell pretty quickly.
Ye with practice you can handle 200c especially with track knowledge.

Beautiful game.

Agreed. I just wish there was a real single player mode with unlocks and stuff. Like Smash.

Even if firehopping isn't actually nerfed and I'm just mistaken, you should be happy to know that it has been very hard finding places to firehop without it being a "YOLO" tactic.I like the sound of that
Yeah, also a 200cc TT mode would be cool

But not really.
GAF plays Frantic. Joining the room is a YOLO tactic.

Yea I agree, Bowser City is much better in MK8 for some reason and I'm not a big fan of Ribbon Road. I didn't really like Super Bell Subway either, but in 200cc it's great!

More like karts not overpowered anymore. Also, bikes will still struggle on the usual tracks like Rainbow Road etc
When I was trying to download Donkey Kong TF onto my Wii U, for some reason the system wanted to download the game unto my Wii U rather than my external hard drive because the save file was on the Wii U. I moved my Donkey Kong save file over and itt worked. Try that.

I'll rob a bank so you can get a 32 GB WiiU Boney.
Yes but you can play in versus or online in the mean time
Will give that a try, makes sense it'll stay together I guess maybe I moved the safe file all the time
I'm gonna have to at this rate
