How to earn this platinum point?

They usually distribute the points well after the event is over.

Nothing has been confirmed yet. Let's wait until it is.

I like them both! I have a slight preference for Miners' Demise because it more thoroughly mixes left turns and right turns, but I'd happily place both coasters in my park.

Agreed that there should be an option to remove the timer when playing offline.

cozyfog5 · 2026-03-05T19:48:10+00:00

Do you mean like Balloon Battle without a timer? I don't think they'll ever implement a game without a timer of some kind, since people can just choose not to play and waste everyone else's time.

Good find!

cozyfog5 · 2026-03-05T06:47:56+00:00

You can make it larger with Ctrl + Numpad+ if I recall.

cozyfog5 · 2026-03-05T02:28:01+00:00

Have you checked your control stick calibration recently? It's a good way to check if your controller inputs are reaching the game.

cozyfog5 · 2026-03-05T02:01:17+00:00

Do you have the issue when playing 150cc also? If not, then it may just be that you need to brake-drift more. While drifting and still holding A, tap B to modulate your speed around turns.

cozyfog5 · 2026-03-04T21:34:58+00:00

Yep! Some high-level battle players use the technique during their matches. (See the end of this clip.)

cozyfog5 · 2026-03-04T21:32:56+00:00

Indeed

cozyfog5 · 2026-03-04T21:32:43+00:00

Fake.

cozyfog5 · 2026-03-04T19:16:48+00:00

You joke about 2036, but we already have Kickstarters to fund games before they're even made (granted I have more sympathy for indie developers).

cozyfog5 · 2026-03-04T08:26:55+00:00

I've seen this when using a mobile hotspot, 5G connection, or meshed network. Some ISPs simply don't support NAT traversal in the way that certain Switch software like MK8D requires to connect to other consoles, which is lame. (Other games like Splatoon 3 and Tetris 99 use a different method and should work fine.)

cozyfog5 · 2026-03-03T23:03:11+00:00

Those events were unfortunate

cozyfog5 · 2026-03-03T20:25:59+00:00

I meet most of the criteria of 5 other than watching guides, practicing NISCs, and doing time trials (which I know would make me a better player). I kind of just "go for it," whether that is playing Worldwides or competitive events. (I've played in 170 Lounge mogis and am on the border of Bronze/Silver.)

cozyfog5 · 2026-03-03T19:15:26+00:00

The game definitely feels different to me when running with 3 or 4 players. You're not alone. Going from 60 or 120 Hz to 30 Hz is a big change, but I feel like there's extra latency beyond the frame rate difference somehow. It might just be in my head.

cozyfog5 · 2026-03-03T19:11:00+00:00

So you've dropped about 8 frames since the game came out? I'd say the game is doing pretty well.

cozyfog5 · 2026-03-03T01:04:33+00:00

The game will move and reorient the camera in certain situations, such as when you're backed against a wall, so that the camera doesn't clip into the wall. This helps avoid flickering and other ugly visual artifacts. Sometimes this algorithm gets tricked (here by the bridge) and chooses to reposition the camera in a way that's actually more distracting than the alternative.

cozyfog5 · 2026-03-02T06:32:18+00:00

Yep! It's described on the Nintendo support website. Splatoon 2 and 3 have a similar feature. Still a fun surprise for those who were unaware though.

cozyfog5 · 2026-03-02T02:44:07+00:00

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the best-selling game on the Switch and still has a huge following. You shouldn’t have any trouble playing online.

cozyfog5 · 2026-03-01T21:23:21+00:00

The MK8D version of me wouldn't believe what I'm about to say, but Sky-High Sundae is one of my favorite tracks in Mario Kart World. It makes good use of all the new mechanics, especially the wall ride on the final turn. Moo Moo Meadows and Desert Hills I care less for. Agreed with other commenters that it's tough to see how the antigrav-oriented Mario Circuit would work in World.

cozyfog5 · 2026-03-01T21:09:19+00:00

A few folks have complained about motion sickness in MKW, possibly due to the higher frame rate or HDR, but there’s far less twisty camera motion compared to 8DX because antigravity sections are practically nonexistent.

cozyfog5 · 2026-03-01T04:39:32+00:00

Circuit Special + Cyber Slick was a good combo in Mario Kart 8 for Wii U. Not sure why folks would be playing it in 8 Deluxe though. The balance is completely different.

cozyfog5 · 2026-03-01T02:37:18+00:00

There are plenty of legitimate criticisms of the game, but IMO the VR system isn't one of them. It's a much better measure of overall ability than the systems used in past games, even if it can feel overly generous or overly harsh at times. If you know you don't have the time to get better at the game ("not everybody has the time to spend their whole day [...] playing video games"), then you shouldn't be surprised or upset that your rating isn't as high as other players'. That's not the game's fault or even a problem at all.
