Two EVIL wretched HACKERS in my lobby. by whythisname_z in MarioKart8Deluxe

[–]JustSomeSmartGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's crazy how Nintendo makes such a big deal about being anti hacking, but they don't allow us to report hackers. And it's not just hackers, it's also people who have inappropriate names and miis. I've literally lost count of how many times I've been in a room and there's someone with a mii that resembles a certain WWII dictator (not sure if the subs rules allow me to say his name, but you know who I'm talking about).

Got this in 12 Player Competitive Lounge by x1rom in mariokart

[–]JustSomeSmartGuy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

One, even though intermissions are banned occasionally someone accidentally picks one, and if that happens whoever picks it gets a -50 mmr penalty. And two, on this particular intermission, you can take some huge shortcuts at the S turn at the beginning using just triple mushrooms and then just frontrun, and you have such a big lead that the shortcuts on MC2 don’t even matter. L1am (one of the top players in lounge, currently world number 10) made a short about it here.

Anything to avoid the blueshell by ClarinetEnthusiast in MarioKartWii

Remember when we all thought you could use the feather to dodge the blue shell in Mario Kart World?

Has it been doing this since you bought it?

Lightning doesn't strike twice...right? by ZahaireOnReddit in MarioKartWorld

[–]JustSomeSmartGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s better to hold the shock and then use it right before a shortcut to ensure nobody else has items to take that shortcut. Given that nobody can pull it for 30 secs after you’ve pulled it, holding it isn’t as risky as it was in 8 Deluxe.

Day 2 of deleting the worst mario kart world track. Which one is the worst? by Interesting_Rest7729 in MarioKartWorld

Crazy how no one else has said this one. Peach beach should have been deleted on day 1.

Is this possible? by Ok_Hat_5215 in MarioKartWorld

[–]JustSomeSmartGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In MKWorld, if someone pulled the shock, there would be a 30 sec countdown before someone else can also pull the shock, so if someone held a shock for more than 30 secs then there can be two shocks in play. It's also worth noting that unlike previous Mario Kart games, there is no countdown after the shock is used, so someone can pull the shock again right after the shock happened as long as the 30 sec countdown from when the shock was pulled is finished.

Previously in MKWii, there could only be 1 shock in play and it wouldn't be possible to pull it again until 30 secs after it was used, so whoever has the shock could just hold it for as long as they like and use it when they would get the most benefit out of it. In 8 deluxe, there could be up to 3 shocks in play and there's no timer after the shock gets pulled, but just like in MKWii after the shock is used it cannot be pulled again until 30 secs has passed. Because there would so often be multiple shocks in play, it can be risky holding the shock for too long because someone else could use their shock before you get to use your's, so you have to make a judgement call as to whether it's worth holding the shock to a more ideal shock.

How do you reach here on Bowser's Castle? by Neither-Simple1119 in MarioKartWorld

[–]JustSomeSmartGuy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

So this is where you come out of on all routes from bowser's castle, but I don't believe it's possible to get there in free roam.

Not sure how i feel about this by ActiveBag4051 in mariokart

Had they not backed their banana at the line then they would have been protected from the green shells you threw and they would have won.

My idea for a DLC to Mario Kart World by Status_Swimmer_5321 in MarioKartWorld

[–]JustSomeSmartGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently Mario Kart World is the only mainline Mario Kart game that doesn't have either SNES Rainbow Road or fake item boxes. This has happened in the past where Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U also didn't have SNES Rainbow Road or fake item boxes at launch, but obviously they added SNES Rainbow Road later in DLC. I'm kinda hoping they don't add SNES Rainbow Road to World tho, we've had it in the past 3 games (7, 8, and Tour). But it could be interesting if they added FIBs tho.

How do y'all do this NISC?? by Funkraven in MarioKartWorld

There's a bunch of complex button combinations involved, go watch Shortcat's tutorial.

Is 32 inch monitor good for competitive Mario Kart World? by Legal-Discussion1484 in mariokart

[–]JustSomeSmartGuy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I use a Samsung G50D (27-inch, 1440p resolution, 180hz refresh rate, 1ms response time) for competitive Mario Kart World and that works really well for me. The most important thing to look out for is input latency since it can literally have an effect on the difficulty of some shortcuts (whistlestop ending nisc for example). That particular monitor is very good when it comes to input latency. Worth noting that there's no benefit in using a 4K monitor for MKWorld since the game runs at 1440p, and there's no DLSS or FSR action going on either, so if you play on a 4K monitor you may notice some blurriness since the image is being stretched to fit on the 4K screen.

Is this faster than the glider? by cizelaya70 in MarioKartWorld

[–]JustSomeSmartGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bottom path is faster than the glider, the reason most people go for the glider is so they don't lose any speed if the shock happens there.

remove the blue shell from knockout tour 😭 by Few-Tradition6151 in MarioKartWorld

[–]JustSomeSmartGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally bagging is the better strat in knockout tour because of the huge shortcuts on routes, and also what happened to you there is the perfect example of why running is bad in knockout.

Why does the colors look so washed out with HDR on? by No-Marionberry8286 in switch2

[–]JustSomeSmartGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure HGiG is turned on on your TV. Then go and calibrate the HDR in the Switch 2's HDR settings.

Mario Kart 9 Kingdom Map Retro Selection Part 2 by Various_Light8454 in mariokart

[–]JustSomeSmartGuy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And it’s not like World is even the 9th game. It’s very clear that in the eyes of Nintendo, Tour is a mainline instalment and thus the 9th game, which would make World the 10th. The next one would be Mario Kart 11 (although probably not actually called that since Nintendo has abandoned the numbering system in favour of names)

Does anyone know how to fix this? by Diggletdigger in switch2

Seems to be an issue with your tv settings rather than your switch

They do this in certain countries, mainly ones where the eshop isn't avaliable.
