I still need to get gold mario, I think i have all the karts and such I just need to do 200cc

To get the gold cart pieces you need to

get at least 1 star or more on each of the mirror mode GP cups

get 5000 coins in total collected

beat every single staff ghost in 150cc time trials

Golden Mario was the first gold part I got with the 200cc cups but some of those Time Trials are really tough to beat. Great amount of content to play though, got me 45+ hours from the game according to my profile page, decent value for money there.

I still need to fully 3 star each of the 150/Mirror and 200CC GPs but... that can be my long term plan because really there is nothing more "waste of time" feeling than getting 3 races perfectly done and getting Blue shelled in the last lap of the final race and mashed back down the grid, there is no real countering it happening either so you can't outskill it. (I know there is the boombox item, but you can get that lightning zapped out of your hands, then shelled, there is literally no amount of skill can counter that from happening.)

Since the Goddes of Fortune has decided to smile down on my family, my brother managed to somehow find a wild Switch and captured it.So by the end of July Ill be able to join the ranks with you guys!Though the only game Ill have will be Zelda for a while, so if anyone is willing to gift me with games, Ill be happy to receive it!

Do they change stats? Or is it purely cosmetic?

Gold Mario is essentially just a palette swap for Metal Mario. He has all of the same stats and attributes as Metal Mario, except that he’s gold instead of being metallic. If you played with Metal Mario in the original Mario Kart 8 release, you should have no trouble making the transition over to Gold Mario.

Rocket League devs on working with Nintendo:

"Nintendo has been very open with giving us whatever resources that we need, answering any questions that we have, allowing us to do cross-network play, which is a big deal and very important to us and they had no problem with that at all. That was the very first question I asked them. I said: 'If we are going to commit to doing this, would you guys allow us to do cross-platform?' And they told me that if it is important to us, then we will do cross-platform. There wasn't even any hesitation."

Max Brass, his arms, and his stage are all coming on my birthday July 12th! A nice present from Nintendo indeed! I was hoping to have all arms unlocked and upgraded for each preexisting character before he arrived, but this process actually takes a pretty long time.

Also forgot to mention, Japan's Splatfest World Premier is at a different time (4am-8am ET) than the American one (6pm-10pm ET), so if that time works better for you or you just want to play twice as long (like I do hehe), just download the demo from the Japanese eShop!

EDIT: Oh the American and European Splatfest are actually separate despite sharing the same theme. The European one (12pm-4pm ET) is also at a completely different time from the American one and can be downloaded from the European eShop. Welp, time to make an EU account!

So 12 hours of Splatfest??

Yes sir!

EDIT: Heh,

How do you have it 3 times?? I only have 2, my Aus account and my JP account. My US account says its already downloaded on the eShop... so its the same as my Aus account i guess.
