When I first saw it I thought the purple mini-turbo would be an insignificant addition to MK8D, but it's actually pretty nice. Doesn't change the game in any major way, but I like how it adds a new layer of learning to the tracks, namely where n when you can go for the purple sparks. Also it seems like an indirect buff to inside drift as I find I can get purple sparks more often than with outside drift, but maybe that's just me and my wishful thinking.

The lack of a third level mini-turbo was my biggest complaint in the Mario Kart 8 review I wrote three years ago. It's not enough to make me buy Deluxe, but it's nice that it has been added, because it makes it likely to be implemented in Mario Kart 9 as well.

I am not sure what exactly you mean with inside and outside drift, but the mini-turbo has always charged faster when you steer inside during a turn while it charges slower when you have to correct your driving lane by steering outside.

 

I chalk it up to how inside drift can't hug corners on sharp turns as well as outside drift, thus they spend more time drifting, and how inside can hold a drift on straightaways after coming out of a turn better.



Post count should be fixed. Nintendo's domination can go on.

Cool. Now do the same for the COMG thread which is off by ~20 posts.

Way ahead of you there!

Well, then change Einsam_Delphin's username to Einsamer_Delfin. He doesn't want to look like a fool in the eyes of German users anymore.

Perhaps I left out the er so people can't assume my gender. :L

Mhm...

Doesn't matter if a Delfin is male or female, the only correct form is einsamer Delfin if you keep it this short.

Don't bother learning German. It's complicated.

Ha, as if I'm gonna not do something I want to just because it's complicated. I have personal reasons for giving up on it that need not be mentioned here.

Oh I forgot about the hidden mini-turbo stat which I believe increases mini turbo charge speed. Perhaps this stat will actually be relevant now, but we don't have the hidden stats for vehichle parts yet, though it's safe to assume the inside drift bikes still increase it.



Thank you Trucks for fixing NintenDom!

Got the free Zelda DLC, was almost a full GB of data, but is worth it :p

Also, there will be a MK8 Deluxe Tourney with the battle mode as well so hopefully people will join
