yeah, RR is intimidating. I always fall apart bouncing off those shrooms in shroom gorge...and that's on an easy level? Toads factory is a tough one too.

alright...that's three....plenty more track for more..........

Excellent.

I use a Mii, and I'm on a motorbike...either the third of fourth down the list.

You can get different karts and bikes by changing the 'weight' of your Mii.....So my "Steven Wilson" look-a-like Mii has a real fat ass (that way I get a bigger bike. I don't know if that's the best strategy, but I've won a race or two.

   Mii, and my PorcupineT

Posting to bump this so I hopefully see it later... I don't have my codes on me now, but I'll try to remember to post them this weekend... Though I won't run the Rainbow Road, I'm HORRIBLE at that one, none of them give me near as much trouble as it...

Woohoo! I'm up for it!

I'm stuck at work this minute and I'll pass on my friends code later. I'm addicted to the racing, although I haven't figured out the right vehicle.

Everyone's using their Mii's, RIGHT?

My faves are Peach Gardens, Delfino Square, and Sherbet Land. But, if I'm playing with noobs, I vote for Rainbow or Maple Tree. My son has figured out some cheats, but I have yet to learn them. Mostly short cuts.

Any track BUT Rainbow Road...I despise that one!

 Tis the season to go get one!

The on-line racing is so fun. There can be up to 12 in a race, there is a point system (you start at 5000, can max out at 9999....I hover around 7000), tournaments, friend/regional/world rankings...Its a blast.

In addiction.....I mean addition to MarioKart, the Wii in general is pretty damn cool, a lot more entertaining than the traditional hand controller systems.  It's funny as hell watching someone play the latest Link-Zelda game using the controller nunchuck style as if they have a sword and shield in their hands.

The On-Line "all-play" system is included with all the best games (Madden, Tiger, NHL, NBA, MarioKart...). We could even have a Radio Paradise Madden league.

Plus...making your own "Mii" characters is quite fun too.

The system is not without a hiccup or two. Staying connected or getting connected can be troublesome at times (It could be my overloaded router though).

I've been a gamer since Mattel's Intellevision, and all-around Wii is the coolest system I've played with.

Dad tested, Santa approved!

Cheers

Ooooh, Mario Kart.
Haven't gotten Wii, but I have an old 64 and GameCube with the Kart games - love it!

Hmmm...

OK...

If you are a Wii user and a MarioKart racer, then your kart drivers license has a code on it.

Post your code here, when we're both on line, we can have a race. Imagine 12 RPers, going for it on Rainbow Road....could be fun!
Here is my code
4768-9239-9540

(each user has to enter the other users code as Friends, then we can set up a private race.)

My character is Mii created, it's a Steven Wilson look-a-like named PorcupineT.
Start your engines....
