Well Nintendo should have seperate Time Trial leaderboards for Karts and Bikes.

I personally start to like the bikes more and more, but Karts are still my favorite. But in order to beat the times of some VGChartz members I had to switch to bikes, they're just so much faster. It's a bit sad that they aren't more equal, so you really have a choice. For Time Trial you have to use a bike.

In multiplayer it's not that big-a-deal by the way. I'm sure Rol would own anyone in a kart as well.

Some of the better staff ghosts in the game use a kart and I still haven't beat all of them, like on Rainbow Road. In total there are still 6 staff ghosts left that I have yet to beat.

But yes, using a bike didn't feel that good at first, but after some time you get used to it and you don't want to go back to a kart.


So why use a kart if you have a bike?

For fun? For a challenge? Because you and your friends agreed to a karts-only tournament?

And why do you always quote me? Shoo shoo, go away.

Seriously, I don't understand what's so bad about it. Driving with a bike is fun. I guess it's just one of these cases where Nintendo can't win: Stay close to the core formula = getting accused of rehashing, change a few things while the core formula still stays intact = too many changes, the game should be like the old ones.


How about deviate from core formula while keeping things balanced?  This is Nintendo we're talking about.  It's not as if they don't have the budget to spend on polishing a game to perfection these days.  Doubly so when considering that Mario Kart is a well-known and liked franchise.
