Mario Kart 8 DLC Pack 2 and 200cc Update

[LimitCrown]

The second DLC pack for Mario Kart 8 and the DLC for the 200cc engine class have been released today! What are your opinions about the DLC?

Isabelle too cute, new main rider, sorry Yoshi.
Otherwise 200cc is hard and I'm mad at mario cart D:

Isabelle is best character. No exceptions

I've actually had to use the brake o. Big blue is AWESOME THOUGHl

[Crash32]

How does 200cc unlock?
Also is it just me or does the difficulty increase on the last race of a GP? I always find I can easily win the first three races but I get hit with a billion items on the last track. Still trying to perfect 150cc mode...

[Ommy]

200 cc is crazy

I never had to brake before and idk how to

I think that you need to complete the 8 original cups in the 150cc engine class.

^ Probably this
I had all the gold trophies (50-150cc) and I popped in Mario Kart 8 for the first time in a while today and BAM! It was there. ouo

And holy wow 200cc is soooo much funnnn
It's not all that hard either, or maybe I was overexpectant ouo
You don't have to brake all that much (Or at least I didn't cause I was drifting all over the place @u@) but pressing B for a split second before you hit something actually helps XD
I haven't tried all the courses with 200cc yet but oh man that'll be fun X3

Sometimes, it seems that the CPUs can't handle the speed of 200cc, which causes them to crash into walls at certain areas. This could make completing the cups in 200cc slightly easier than completing them in 150cc if you are able to brake while drifting effectively. The CPUs in the 200cc cups are only as difficult to beat as they are in 150cc cups.

[Coty]

SO AWESOME! I NEED 250CC!

I'm super-happy that we finally got more GBA tracks, and among them being Ribbon Road, the one MK:SCstage I've wanted since the MKW days.

I'm also digging the new Mii racing suits, especially Mega Man and Pac-Man's. I'm glad that I managed to nab a Mega Man amiibo.

[LimitCrown]

Something that I noticed about the CPUs in any engine class is that the handling of the karts that they drive seems to be unnaturally high, which allows them to turn sharply without needing to drift. In certain courses like Donut Plains 3 and Rainbow Road, they won't slow down very much.

I waited to buy the bundle and big blue, mute city, hyrule castle, and animal crossing are my favorite courses, and Isabelle is my new favorite driver (sorry baby Mario, your cuteness was outmatched)

200cc is harder than I remember the game being (I stepped away from it for a long time) I was able to get a few 3 stars though, mostly due to dumb luck.

I wish the villager worked a bit differently. I wish animal crossing got an update so you could send a particular style of villager to the game and have it saved like you can with miis, that sort of idea.


Also, it may just be me, but I think pink gold peach, metal mario, cat peach, and tanooki mario are really stupid, I with the cat bell, leaf, metal box and whatever made you gold would be power ups that have a visual effect while also doing a job, like the metal box giving you star-like invulnerability, while not letting you run people over. Missed opportunity in my opinion, and they could have put other characters in those spots, like koopa kid. Nobody remembers that poor guy.

Sorry, rant over.
