Mario Circuit1:33:533Rosalina in the JetsetterSome people were curious as to how I approach Time Trials. Well, I'd like to start off by saying that Time Trials is my least favorite mode, as I love items and love seeing item carnage, even done to myself. Thus, I don't play Time Trials often. I played it enough to unlock the Mii Outfit B, and I had enough after that.Another thing is that for a large portion of the tracks, I use karts, just like when I play online. It's not that I really hate bikes or anything; a bunch of courses were done with bikes, like Luigi Circuit or Grumble Volcano. It's that I've played using karts for so long that I'm more accustomed to karts than I am with bikes.I think no course record shows this more than Mario Circuit. It's a really plain course with long straightaways and gentle curves. It looks absolutely ripe for bike domination, yet my best record here is with a kart.By the way, this is the first time I had beaten a fast staff ghost. The fast staff ghost's time was 1:33:702. If anyone wants, I can upload the replays of each fast staff ghost for anyone who has yet to unlock them all.

Jul 24, 2008 - Well, similarly, I wouldn't be able to get a time anywhere near that using a bike. I'm very used to karts.

Jul 24, 2008 - Rosalina looks like she'd be fun to play as. I love the way the little start squeels in joy whenever she does a flip.By the way, is Rosalina only obtainable if you have a Mario Galaxy save? Or can you unlock her without one?

Jul 24, 2008 - I was playing Mario Kart Wii last night and I just couldn't handle a bike AT ALL. I messed with Rainbow Road a lot and improved me time to 2:47:756. I find I can handle many karts on Manual there all except the Jetsetter. I keep watching the fast staff ghost to see what it is that he's doing, and I still can't figure it out. The first jump where you can do a trick... if I trick there, no matter how hard I drift, I ALWAYS fall off. I got really annoyed with online play too.

Jul 24, 2008 - You can get Rosalina without a Mario Galaxy save, but she'll be a difficult one to unlock. You have to get a rank of at least 1 star in all eight Mirror Mode cups.

Jul 24, 2008 - Does Mario Kart Wii require the steering wheel add-on to the Wii remote, or can it be played without?
Overhazard Says:
Jul 24, 2008 - I haven't even tried to beat the fast staff ghost in Rainbow Road. I had a difficult enough time trying to beat this ghost of Mario in the Sprinter (AKA the Dasher Mk II or something like that).

Jul 24, 2008 - It can be played without.

Jul 24, 2008 - You are like the master of karts OverHazard that looks like the time i did when i used Bowser jr. with the Mach Bike.
lacho40 Says:
Jul 24, 2008 - My only problem is that for example, you have to find 32 fast staff ghosts, the thing is that i dont know in which tracks ive already unlocked it or not, so i dont know in which time trial to run.
snowyarticuno Says:
Jul 24, 2008 - I always thought this was more of a kart track, because of all the corners *shrug*And oh god, Mii B. I'm not even trying for that one, mostly because of Star Road. I got everything else, though.

Jul 24, 2008 - Star Road? Do you mean Rainbow Road?

Jul 24, 2008 - Would you like to exchange Friend Codes?If you do, send me a private message and I'd be happy to race with you.
SyreetaW Says:
Jul 24, 2008 - A Star Road would be cool too... ^_^Mii Outfit B is so not worth it unless you're a perfectionist and like everything complete (like me). ESPECIALLY if you're female (or have a female Mii)... that outfit is so ugly!If they wanted something more worthwhile, they've should've unlocked an option to customise Mii Outfit A or something. To hell with Miis anyway! I have breasts, hips and a waist y'know! Not to mention ears! >:(
snowyarticuno Says:
Jul 24, 2008 - Yes.I blame a SMRPG LP i've been reading.
crashandcortex Says:
Jul 30, 2008 - Really good time that!On Mario Circuit, my best time is either 1:16 or 1:20.
Overhazard Says:
Jul 31, 2008 - It'd take me forever to get even close to reaching that. I'm no good at Time Trials.
qazqazdabest Says:
Aug 2, 2008 - Fab time for a kart ;) I've beaten all the expert staff ghosts, but only because I use a bike.
Overhazard Says:
Aug 3, 2008 - Sometime in the future, I want to see if I can beat the Expert Ghosts using only karts.I almost never play Time Trials, so I'm not very good at it.
SHADOWL1NKX Says:
Jul 24, 2008 - Thats awesome! I mean, last time i used a kart on that track, i only got 1:41 or something, my best record is 1*24*980 with the spear/torpedo, i wouldnt call ur best time medicore as i cant even get close to that time in a kart!
