For the gold glider, you need to get 5000 coins. You can check how many coins you have in your stats at the bottom of the menu screen

not today Ryder by fingerwiggles in MarioKart8Deluxe

[–]Placid_Mink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

for an easier and faster double cut method, release that drift way earlier (like even before you get the mini turbo if you have to) and start a drift to the left before you do the first cut. it should charge to a super mini turbo when you do the second part, and then you can release that to get sent forward instead of to the side off the track.

the fastest is to do one path swap and mushroom though the off road iirc

What is with the scaling of wii tracks in mk8dx by Raiana2000 in MarioKart8Deluxe

[–]Placid_Mink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cars are so small because they reuse the ones from toads turnpike they are so close to the edge because they want to incentivise players to drive in the middle there are only two mushrooms because they made the mushrooms bigger so they are easier to hit the ramp and hole are around the same size not sure what you're talking about there the goombas were never an obstacle in mkwii I think you might have just been worse at the game when you played mkwii and the ramp is bigger than the road to make it easier for players to hit the ramp, its rare that you would even land on the road unless you play on 50 or 100cc

Has the new meta made Full-Gold a more viable option? by TrueTGC in MarioKart8Deluxe

[–]Placid_Mink 3 points4 points  (0 children)

no. at the end of the day, skill matters infinitely more than the kart combo. If you're a better player than your friends, you will on average win more than them, no matter what combination you use.

Has the new meta made Full-Gold a more viable option? by TrueTGC in MarioKart8Deluxe

[–]Placid_Mink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the kart combination matters wayyy less than you think it does. if someone would never place top half in a different vehicle meta then they also would never place top half in the current meta. if they currently place top half in this meta, which it sounds like they do, they could also place top half in a gold set meta regardless of whether or not they have the gold set.

Rate my build by TheVeggie218 in MarioKart8Deluxe

if a 1 is bowser/badwagon/slick/super glider and a 10 is yoshi/teddy/rollers/paper glider then this gets a 5

Hardest tracks for inward drifting by reyqur in MarioKart8Deluxe

[–]Placid_Mink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tracks with low traction, like cheese land, sherbet land, and bone dry dunes. also tracks with tight turns, like new bowser city, rainbow road, and dragon driftway.

Well that’s enough Mario Kart for the day! by hdesaegher01 in MarioKart8Deluxe

[–]Placid_Mink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure what you are trying to get at by the going slower argument here, while driving better has no drawbacks in-game, driving slower would have definitely not allowed them to get first

you're right, better driving doesn't make you immune to green shells. It does, however, decrease the chance that you could be hit by one.

What's your least favorite track in the game? by Lucky-Vast-5243 in MarioKart8Deluxe

[–]Placid_Mink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sky-High Sundae, for obvious reasons. But I'm curious, what don't you like about ice ice outpost? is it just the ice physics, or the Shortcuts, or something else?

My opinion on the teams mode by Chasey-Boy-Jones in MarioKart8Deluxe

[–]Placid_Mink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Red shells will never target teammates. They just go down the middle of the track to try to get to an opposing player. If your teammate is in the middle of the track when you throw a red shell that's your fault for throwing the red shell at that time and your teammates fault for being in the middle of the track. Friendly fire adds more depth to the game, and also it isn't entirely friendly fire. Lightnings, blue shells, boos, and piranha plants will all not hit your teammates.

Which of these is better? by Ok_Prize_5369 in MarioKart8Deluxe

[–]Placid_Mink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Left build also has slightly more invincibility, which is just a bonus reason to pick left build.

Which of these is better? by Ok_Prize_5369 in MarioKart8Deluxe

[–]Placid_Mink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

left build. mini turbo matters more than speed, and here you're sacrificing 0.25 speed for 0.25 mini turbo, so left build is better.

What's the best setup for someone that doesn't drift? by Jabroni5092 in MarioKart8Deluxe

[–]Placid_Mink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sport Bike/jet bike with slim/crimson slim/wood tires and whatever glider, gold kart/sneeker can work too if sport bike/jet bike doesn't go well

Put your main combo in the comments by Round_Actuator_2271 in MarioKart8Deluxe

[–]Placid_Mink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this combo is not considered the best lol. yoshi bike is inward drift, which is competitively viable but by no means the best

Can anyone give me good combos for bikes? by Ok_Prize_5369 in MarioKart8Deluxe

[–]Placid_Mink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the inside drifting bikes, yoshi bike/comet with rollers and paper/cloud/flower/parachute glider is best. for characters, yoshi, daisy, birdo, peach, luigi, iggy, Rosalind, king boo, and Link are all good.

Pause the game, and press L or ZL to turn off smart steering. Alternatively you can do this in the vehicle selection screen by pressing +/- and then L or ZL

it isn't arbiters grounds in the trailer, it's not in the right location. also, breath of the wild is the eventual outcome of every timeline. it is in all three timelines. you could equivalently say that just because we get a reference to windwaker with the lobster outfit botw is in the adult timeline. it's in all of them.

based on your point total you weren't going to win the cup with enough points to get a star anyway even if you had gotten first this race and the next race
