Apologies, but I meant Mario Kart Stadium! Always get those two track names mixed up.

I don't think that's new.
That's been there.

No way... It did seem like a strange thing for them to do. I've put like 50 hours into this game. I must be losing my mind.

Yeah, Epona Bike HAS to be in this - it HAS TO BE - or this DLC has nary any meaning nor a soul.

Well I pre ordered both packs and I am loving blue Yoshi.

With regard to characters, they'll probably do the same thing they did in MK DS when you went online before unlocking all characters.

Anyone know how to turn on the on-screen minimap in multiplayer? I'm not seeing it.

Went out today and bought the $10 Nintendo card to add to the funds I had already so I could get these things. (dat Goomba AR card)
I'm really pleased at the price. I think a higher point may have turned a lot of people off, but this is reasonable enough to be an impulse buy for most people.
I'm not sure if it's me or what, but I've noticed some things I don't remember before, like the MKTV team being in a Koopa Clown Car on the Mario Kart Stadium, and giant Princess Peach banners in the audience. Were those there before?
Also, I was initially hesitant towards the Mercedes DLC, but after using it a few times it feels a lot more natural than I was expecting. I like that the GLA logo on the back of that kart and the tail lights light up blue and yellow when charging turns and anti-gravity mode.

The Clown Car caught my eye too, but I don't know if that's because of Bowser Jr in Smash or what.

Nah, they were always there.
Also, press minus on the Gamepad to activate the on-screen map.

Just got the pop up on the Wii U gamepad for this, nice.
So I pre-ordered a DLC, I have never done that before but with Nintendo it felt worth it. Still though where's my Elsa DLC Nintendo?
Press select. Personally I am keeping it off as it feels like cheating to me.

Using items is also cheating by the way. I hope you aren't using them.

Really pleased with the price points and content included in the DLC. A return to the 'add-on pack' concept is very welcome.
However, it's infuriating that I'm now bombarded with in-game adverts for the DLC at any given opportunity. Adding the new characters and cups to the selection screens with eShop icons is terrible. What if people don't want to buy the DLC? They shouldn't be hussled to pay more when they've paid full price for a retail game already. The addition of a shop item on the main menu and spot pass notifications is enough. This isn't some iOS f2p app, Nintendo. Bad form.

I think the time limit is when the DLC is released.

Has there been anything that indicates that it would be limited? The way that it was worded
to me sounded like a permanent thing as a way to further attract people to both DLC packs.

Yeah. Furthermore, it says to advance buy to get it immediately. It doesn't say advance buy to get it.

If I remember correctly they would swap them for different characters on your end.

It seems to be the exact system Mario Golf uses. Which means its a permanent bonus for buying both.

Am I weird for thinking Link should be free if you buy the Link Amiibo?

I didn't play MK DS, so I don't know what they did.
But what they should do this time around is, if someone picks a character you don't have unlocked, it shows up as Luigi.
Considering this bundle will most likely be cheaper than a Link Amiibo, yes you're weird.

Would have been nice if they release actual battle maps. I'd kick your asses on Block Fort.
please...

The Amiibo would have an affect on multiple games though.

FUCK YES!! Nintendo showing the world how DLC is DONE!
This DLC at that price it's truly an impossible thing to avoid. Plus, those in-game ads on the screen menu make it even more irresistible/attractive. Don't know if it's truly necessary to leave them there even if you already made the preorder but it's cool either way, it makes you feel all hyped to know how the new tracks will be.

I hope this is a sign of the all new Power-Up mushroom juice drinking Nintendo of the future. If so I'm all aboard and I hope they forgive me for jumping ship briefly.

I would actually punt a baby for a 30 yard field goal for these battle mode tracks. HATE battle mode in MK 8. Freaking travesty!
please...
Oh my god this. This. This.
please...
Literally, that's all we need. The engine for Battle Mode's already there, just give us stages that aren't meant to be raced on, making them entirely inconducive to battling.

Why should they even hide the character? I mean, it's not a spoiler considering all the in-game ads for it. Plus it'll entice people to buy those characters.
