It's far too easy to forget what it's like to be a kid. But one secret to happiness is to be able to pick out links to our childhood in the mundanities of adult life. That's why I love Mario Kart. Whether I'm imagining wading through frosting in Sweet Sweet Canyon to take a bite of that giant donut, or picturing myself, shrunken down, making my way through Waluigi's pinball machine, there's something rejuvenating about the game that provides a nice reminiscence of the halcyon days gone by.

With the new MK8 players page. I didn't know if being a member of the old site meant submitting times to the old site or being a member of the MB, so I made a new account. I don't know if I should have though.

Additionally, what does this mean for my previously submitted times? Is it possible for them to be linked to my new account or could I resubmit all my times through the new account with clones being deleted?

This was all due to me unsuccessfully logging into my "old MK8" site account, I thought this was my MB login, I even tried my time submission name with my MB password for the login. So what I'm asking is what exactly was the old MK8 site and what will happen to my new profile and previously submitted times if they are unable to be linked to my new account.

Ok, thanks for noticing this! Don't submit times with your account you created. PM me with your email, then I can provide instructions on getting you access to the account that has all your old times already on it Smiley

The account you created will still work, but I'll freeze it so we don't have two of you on the PP Tongue

Since this needs clarifying, this message board and the Players' Page rankings are still not related whatsoever when it comes to login, and won't be for the foreseeable future.

Every player, regardless of whether he/she had times on the old PP or not, and regardless of whether he/she had a forum account, will need to create/use a new password to access all site features on the new PP, including times submission.

For all-new players, it is simply done in the process of account creation.

For players who had times on the site before April 18th :
-Find your account with your name and times on the new PP
-Contact a mod with a valied e-mail address of yours and your name as it appears on the new PP
-Use the reset password function (with the e-mail address you provided) and pick the one you want

Hope this helps somewhat.

Hey guys, i have one question that i'm stumped on, why do you have to specify the controller you used?

i used the original wii controller to get most of my mk8 times, does that matter?

Some control schemes give the player a slight advantage in handling and traction, which is why said said control schemes are used in most WRs. Many of the karters around here care a great deal about whether you used advantageous control schemes or not, which is why they is now an option for submitting times.

You can find more information on the different control schemes on this page.

I'll need more precisions from your comment regarding the control scheme you used. If you used the Wii remote alone, you have to pick either the d-pad or the wheel option, depending on whether gyro was used or not. If instead you used the Wii remote with the Wiichuk attachment, you have to pick the first option with the stick icon. Hope that's clear enough.

I have no idea what any of this is man, i never changed any settings with using these controllers.....

edit:

i'm basically asking if not changing any settings could of left functions like motion controls on, but how can they give an advantage anyway, is it something you would know just by playing?

I have a hard time understanding what you're trying to say, but the controller advantages were discovered a few weeks after release for the motion controls, and later in 2015 for the wiimote D-pad.

-You always get the handling/traction advantage using one of the above, even if you don't notice it.
-If you use a different controller or control scheme (like the Classic Controller Pro you just posted), there's no way to get the advantage whatsoever. Times driven using those are designated as "Non-Advantage" (or "N-A") by the community, and as of the new site's launch, will be labelled with the stick icon next to your times.

In your case, there's no gyro included with the Classic Controller Pro, so all your times are automatically Non-Advantage, and should therefore be submitted with the stick icon.

I asked Alex this, but he said only Jonesy can make a new subforum. But then I didn't ask Jonesy because Mick thought it may not be necessary.
Didn't think about a subsection in mk8 though.

In the new submit system, I wish when you fill in the minutes, it jumps to seconds field, and later it jumps to thousands fields.

It would be easier and faster to fill in the times mainly in smartphones.

Well it does automatically jump. Or am I misunderstanding the question here?

What operating system, browser do you have?
