Current Events > Rainbow Road WiiU on 200cc is the bane of my life and all matter in the universe

(+) Yeah! (+)

And every time I fail it's 7 minutes perfecting the 3 tracks before it down the drain.

My life is the hardest of anyone ever.

Lol Wii u

He could also mean the Wii U incarnation of Rainbow Road that's in Mario Kart 8 DX.

I did. Obviously. Silly Smackbutt.

The only think that still gets me on MK8 RR is that one sweeper turn after the first switchback, just before the first jump. I just can't seem to reliably time the turn / braking correctly, and that's assuming that another racer doesn't clobber me in passing because I'm slowing down.

Cheese Land still generally pisses me off the most, though; can't think of a more appropriately-named track.

I remember Cheese Land and Ribbon Road being the hardest ones for 200cc.

I can't help I'm silly I was born that way

Btw I have a Wii u and I like it

i still have fond memories of rainbow road from the n64, being able to hop over the railing near the beginning and skip a third of the track.

Just like with Toad's Turnpike, they ruined it in Mario Kart 8. I know the original was obnoxiously long, but that was part of its charm.

Are you going for a record?

I used to hate Ribbon Road, but now I ace it every time, barring some particularly obscene AI fuckery. It's one of the few racetracks in 200cc + Hard COM where I can reliably get a good breakaway lead.

The trick is to maintain a continuous skid and build up a purple boost during the first set of turns up until the first jump, and do the same in the set of turns before the second jump (in the area with the mechakoopas).

And on the wavy blue ribbon road, don't jump-boost off a wave unless you're absolutely sure you're lined up in the middle of the track. After enough times flying off this section of the track while trying to get a jump boost, I just gave up and started racing it as carefully as possible, and things got a lot better.

There's your problem, the brakes are for cowards.

Trying to get all the 200cc (have all the others) grand prixes at three stars before the DLC comes out.

FINALLY got the stupid Rainbow Road one >_>

Just three of the DLC ones left.

Can't wait for Neo Bowser City and Big Blue. At least I got the one that has Cheese Land already.

Ah fuck, forgot about doing those for the DLC... I was already worried about the new developer time attack times too smh

Neo Bowser City is my new hell.
