I hope the Players' Page rankings and Cole's WR website are ready to host additional courses and decide whether they count or not in stats. If not, better think about it quick.

We've got until November so not too urgent

I think only very few won't want to pay £7 (or whatever your currency is) in November and £7 in May for 16 new tracks so I think they should be included...  The console and game cost a lot already, I'm not sure if some tracks shouldn't be on the PP just because they also cost a few $

Perhaps track the new course times like SC times - a total non-DLC ranking and a total all courses.
Or like PRB and non-PRB in MKDS?

I don't see why not unless there's some odd limit as to how many tracks he can put. I mean, the MKs that don't have retro cups don't have the same amount either.

I think they should be included as normal courses, anyway. The price isn't too hefty.

Yeah, I can add the new tracks to my site.
My plan so far:
-The WR table will have a 2nd section called "DLC tracks".
-DLC tracks will be weighted the same as the original tracks for rankings/statistics/WR tally. I could make separate rankings but I feel there's no reason to because the new tracks will most likely be just as competitive.
-The "total time" for the original 32 tracks will remain. This will be pretty much the only thing on the site that is "original tracks only".
-When the DLC tracks come out, the WRs at the end of the day will be entered as the first set of WRs for those tracks (similar to what we did for pre-release WRs).

For the PP, it would make sense to have some sort of separate rankings for the AF chart, since players shouldn't have to keep buying new tracks just to have an AF. Maybe there should be an AF chart for the original 32 + an AF chart for the original+DLC.

Yooooooooooooo wtf !!!

Didn't think it would be announced so soon, and it's also incredible value for the price Shocked


As for those who would ask if the new tracks would be included on the PP, well they shouldn't be on the main charts at least, for 2 obvious reasons :

1. They won't be available online in a few years, which means new people wouldn't be able to join once we're past 2020 or something
2. Not everyone will be able to download this (specifically the countries with no access to the eShop). This should affect very few people but it still wouldn't be fair for them)

This could potentially apply to overpowered DLC karts that could show up as well, but I don't know how we could handle this yet.

This said they should absolutely still be tracked in the site. What Cole proposed in the best option for me.

Maybe Nintendo decided to announce them earlier, since we found out about the DLC-icon-files on the MK8 disc a few weeks ago Grin

We should definitely add them to the rankings, but keep an additional ranking for the 32 original tracks only. For the combined ranking just count the best of the two scores like it is done in MKW.
Once DLC servers go offline in probably less than a decade, we will get a significant problem with newcomers, but maybe we will find a way to distribute the DLC tracks without the servers until then, kind of like the custom MKW servers were set up.

Looks like the only new character competitive TT'ers might get any use of out of this is Dry Bowser, since all the others seem quite light in weight.

I was hoping for a Magikruiser bike too, haha.


I hope rWGM will fix the demented pulling effects of the downward ramps that occurred while drifting on them in MKW.


I wonder if we will get more DLC down the road.

How do you use the colored Yoshis at the present time like Cole has?

If you purchase both of the dlc packs you automatically get the option to use multicoloured yoshi/shy guys, just click them and choose the colour (like when choosing a mii).

Will the new tracks be playable online btw? Maybe special rooms where you select an option and only people who have the DLC can join, idk...

Nintendo will probably release a patch which you can't play online without, kinda like MK7.
But this patch won't fix anything, just add tracks.
It's like when you didn't unlock all the cups, you can still encounter the tracks online if other people have them, idk. Just my guess.

I don't think it'll work as you said since these tracks worth money. That would be weird to be able to play them online without paying. Nevermind, we'll be aware of that quite soon I guess.

Yeah, I think Mount Wario would appear online EVEN if you didn't unlock it offline though...

This. You have also paid for tracks you haven't unlocked yet. You haven't paid for DLC tracks.
