Miis are not mandatory anymore for any Switch software. However you can carry over you Wii U/3DS Mii to the Switch through an amiibo if you wish, so I believe at least a few players will end keeping the same Mii. Don't know of any way to get said Mii image from the Switch so far.


Edit : One improvement I could find is adding links to both MK8DX charts for a given track on the MK8 site, since I saw you already did the opposite on the MK8DX site.

So we're officially starting with the previous game's WRs, and not starting from scratch in Deluxe?

looks great!  

lol I was gonna talk about my SNES RR 200cc PR (not a good one, I know how many seconds I can already win), hoping no good MK8 player had played the DX version yet, but I can already forget it.

Here's the first proof but I've already done better and will go for 1'08" with video if required.

I'd be very proud to appear in the MK8 DX WRs history site!

EDIT: just drove mid 1'08" in the train, still with basic kart setup:

I have absolutely no idea if there are top players who have submitted better times yet. You can use them as temporary references if needed, they're gonna be destroyed soon anyway.

I don't play MK in French Mick.

But thanks for the tip, I'll check this out. My current problem is: how to upload my current PR ghost since the first upload has failed? I now have a good wifi and I'm still playing the replay.

Oh, cool. I could watch the replay again afterwards to make a HQ video of it using our capture devices at work. I found how to do it, even if it was the first time I had a look at a MK8 TT replay in 3 years.

Looks I can be regarded as WR holder so far when I have a look at the "more ghosts" thing: https://twitter.com/AntistarJV/status/857194421829423105

So well let me know if everything's correct and if I can ask for the WR status.

The MK8DX site is ready now: www.mkwrs.com/mk8dx

The WR history will start on 4/28 at 00:00 UTC. Hopefully someone can get a full WR list/video at that time.  The first WR on each track will be marked as "Pre-Release" and have a date of 2017-04-28.

For updaters:
-It's best to edit the "MK8DX" times and overwrite them with the first WR on each track. For WRs after that use "Add New WR".
-Like MK8, player profiles can have a Miiverse ID and Mii from Miiverse. I guess we'll find out soon whether Nintendo is keeping Miiverse around or not...
-Also, player profiles can have a Twitter ID.
-PP IDs are not supported yet, since I want to fix them for MK8 first (the new PP changed the format).
-For players who have gotten WRs in MK8 (or other kart games), use the "Edit Site Profile Links" page to link their profiles.

Edit: SuperFX suggested that Switch Miis can be gotten from taking a screenshot of your profile pic after setting it to your Mii (you can also do this for people on your friends list). So I changed the site to support image URLs for Miis (instead of only allowing Miiverse Miis).

I could have done this yesterday but I won't be able to record such a video before tomorrow in the late evening, unfortunately.

Q: No Expert Staff Ghosts in MK8D too?

We only keep one time before 00:00 GMT on 4/28, which will be the Pre-Release time.
