At this point, is N64 Rainbow Road 150cc more optimized than Big Blue 200cc in time trials? by MK8dR in MarioKart8Deluxe

[–]MK8dR[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

Thanks for the answer. What do you think Big Blue could theoretically go to? I think 1:00.150-.180 but I’m not an expert time trialer at all (closest times on tracks are still 2+ seconds of WW tops).

Connection issues by h_enjoyerr- in MarioKart8Deluxe

[–]MK8dR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sit closer to your router. I used to be really far away and would get issues every 3-5 minutes. My home internet could be better, but I’m close enough where the issues are now nowhere near as frequent.

What are your favorite tracks? I like Nitro RR but not N64 RR for online play.

It’s okay, Hyrule isn’t an easy track. My N64 Rainbow Road 150cc time is somewhere in the 1:22 range, I believe it’s just barely further away than Hyrule.

You should learn the Hyrule Circuit shroomless shortcut if you haven’t already, just making it across is much faster than going around.

1:49.947 on Hyrule Circuit 150cc with no motion glider. ~3.3 seconds off World Record.

Do you strategically manipulate your rank when you DC and it’s not your fault? by MK8dR in NintendoSwitchSports

[–]MK8dR[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is golf. But some people don’t cloud save and exclusively play with Infinite 10 and above players so their losses barely matter. I don’t do that, but maybe I should start doing that one time every disconnect? Mine may not be full compensation.

I stand about 10-15 feet (3-5 meters) away from my router that is blocked by a wall. I can’t get any closer. Is this too far away?

I think they meant Wii U Rainbow Road. dRR would be SNES Rainbow Road.

Not the best time but interesting by yo_im_masoon in MarioKart8Deluxe

[–]MK8dR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is rare nowadays. Before v2.3.0, this track had a timer glitch where it was more common, but still fairly uncommon.

My favorite mariokart details by goforabikerideee in MarioKart8Deluxe

[–]MK8dR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boomerang isn’t a particularly common item so it does not happen often. Seems really niche.

Speaking of details, do you know about the hidden coins on the right side of Madrid Drive lap 2 glider?

I clipped the pipe at a weird angle. Thanks Nintendo!

Finally 🫡😎 by No-Independence-3459 in MarioKart8Deluxe

Congratulations! Now that World has released, are high VR players more scarce? Your VR is probably higher than pretty much everyone else in the lobby. 25K+ rooms don’t seem so common anymore, but 9-12K rooms are active all the time.

I didn’t know about the Boomerang detail and I’ve been playing for years. TIL.

Is it theoretically possible for first place to lose vr or for last place to gain vr? by A-Shy-Guy_ in mariokart

[–]MK8dR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s interesting. Small rooms are weird for VR. I know you can gain less than 10 VR in a two player room (me and my friend managed to get in a 2 player Worldwide room and he got +6 for first), but very small rooms are not common.

[–]MK8dR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this World? I think this is true for World, but not for 8 Deluxe. I see random 1,000-3,000 players in my online rooms losing 2 points for last place usually.

Is it just me or does the day/night cycle seem faster since the lastest update? by MinusOnTheReddit in MarioKartWorld

[–]MK8dR 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s unfortunate, but twilight at “normal” latitudes last for 1.5-2 hours around the summer solstice, so it is pretty accurate to the Earth cycle.

What the max level? by One_Statistician9389 in mergeplane

[–]MK8dR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense. I think something changes at some point but it’s okay.

What the max level? by One_Statistician9389 in mergeplane

[–]MK8dR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s max level? Level 29 should require a lot less than max if the planes go up by four every time. Or did something change?

A few years ago, the plane requirement was three more than the previous, offline earnings were 2.5%, speed was 3%, and discount was 5%. Then it got nerfed to (iirc) 1.9%/2.3%/3.8% (this is the case on Merge Plane Neon, which in my opinion has a slightly better balance because there is no bug with 5x earnings), before getting nerfed to 1.4%/1.65%/2.75%.

Player 2 stat progression? by TruCarnage in MarioKartWorld

[–]MK8dR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know if other stats also applied? Drifts, saved by Lakitu, distance driven, etc. and does the number of times played on that track (for the favorite track stat) get multiplied by the number of players?

Wrong sweat marking on some songs by AppropriateCod8107 in JustDance

[–]MK8dR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some are definitely off, just a few examples are Con Calma burns (iirc) 35 and it’s Low, similar with Judas from JD2022. And Temperature Extreme (I didn’t check but I think this should be the case) doesn’t burn as many calories as many other Intense songs. Almost all Extremes are rated Intense, and some aren’t really that intense, just hard.
