Its OK online when you learn the U turn and the maps are fairly populated. But yea there next DLC needs to be battle arenas imo

lol who voted battle more than race!

Battle mode is awesome with Arena's but battling on the tracks not really fun at all.

i love battle mode, i'm always online playing everyday. to be honest it's the only reason why i still play mk8 

^ this.

I barely ever play Battle Mode, in any Mario Kart, which means I don't care two sh*ts about the fact they botched it in Mario Kart 8

I never tried it in 8 at all, and I also never did in Super Circuit and 7 I think, maybe once. Barely, but still a handful of times, in Wii and Double Dash and a decent amount of times in 64. The game I played it most is probably DS. I kind of liked it there, don't know why. Still shouldn't be more than 1% of my total play-time though.

It's been pretty much crap in every game since Mario Kart 64, so no.

I played one round accidentally when I joined someone from my friend list...

But that's more often than in most Mario Kart games.

They should put 200cc on battle mode

Mario Kart 8 has a battle mode?
