DLC tracks are pretty sweet so far, stand out ones being Mute City and that Dragon one, really cool.

Re: Mario Kart 8 Q/A
Surprised Link is a heavy racer. I expected him to be medium. At least Tanooki Mario has enough to make me happy too.
Re: Mario Kart 8 Q/A
All the new tracks are fun! Some are more fun than others. Really excited to figure out more of the shortcuts! Ice Ice Outpost has some cool ones!

Re: Mario Kart 8 Q/A
Have raced on Excitebike Arena only twice, but only 2 or 3 parts of the track changed. Hope to see more changes the next time I race on it. And Hyrule Circuit is very nicely done, especially how you get the ramp at the master sword statue to appear. Now I just need to get myself lined up for that ramp the next time. I've seen possible shortcuts on most of the new tracks and tried out some of them, need the mushroom on most though. Mute City has a shortcut that I always see too late, but it involves 2 jumps. Anyone tried this one?

Is there something you have to do specifically to make the ramp appear in the Zelda stage?MerlinDrazziw wrote:Have raced on Excitebike Arena only twice, but only 2 or 3 parts of the track changed.

Also I haven't made it on the Mute City one yet, always just miss it. Same with Ice Ice Outpost I think.

You have to hit all three bumpers preceeding the hall, if you do you'll hear a Zelda treasure chime and the ramp rises.The Shoemaker wrote:Is there something you have to do specifically to make the ramp appear in the Zelda stage?MerlinDrazziw wrote:Have raced on Excitebike Arena only twice, but only 2 or 3 parts of the track changed.

IIO has two side ramps close to each other, first on the right and second on the left.
Re: Mario Kart 8 Q/A
I have hit the first part of the Ice Ice Outpost shortcut. I didnt know about the second part until I watched this video:

Re: Mario Kart 8 Q/A
Those 'shortcuts' on Excitbike Arena are not so great, wasting mushrooms on straight grass while jumps give you free boosts. I did miss the 3rd side ramp on Ice Ice Outpost though, but there seems nothing to gain from switching lanes? Maybe for avoiding shells?
