An exploit used by scum to go faster. Ruins general online play so its great to see it being nerfed.

I didn't even know it existed...

I always wondered how that one guy could stay so far in front of everyone else almost every single race :x ;) :?:

How many players can join a single race? because if there's a lot of us, how will this work?

Nice.

Looking forward to this. The Cops n Robbers mode for Battle sounds good fun as well.

It's really good, certainly my favourite of the five modes.

Excellent.

I see the poll has finished with Monday (barely) being the prefered night. It's clear that there's going to be two nights that we tend to play this (Beyond the initial few weeks anyway).

Outside kind of an idea, since people are concerned about a split in the community and I can't think of a decent name for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on a wednesday, could we do Switch on Mondays under the "Mario Kart Mondays" name and see if the Wii U players would be willing to move to wednesday? Then we can have MK8: Wii U Wednesdays? I think we're very quickly going to have more Switch players than Wii U and simply from the viewpoint of promoting the GRcade Twitch channel, Deluxe will be a bigger draw and MK Mondays works better as a title.

Ultimately I don't really care what version is picked for what day though. Just a thought.

Right guys, where's the cheapest place for this? Anywhere better than £42 at Tesco?

Why? What's to say you can't play on Wii U while we play on Switch? I doubt there's going to be anyone playing both at once.

It's a deliberate attempt to replace the WiiU one with the Switch one. The WiiU will now die a death.

It's a banana split's trick.
