Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Re: Mario Kart 8

I'm on the train on the Rainbow Road though!
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

Well, I guess Mario Kart 8 is at least going to surpass Super Circuit in terms of course number.

If there's a course based on Mercedes Benz, I will love it.

I do wish there are Battle Arenas, though. :(
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

Let's have a battle arena in the shape of the Mercedes logo

MKDD Wario Coliseum would be perfect with this game's anti-gravity.

Crossing my fingers for a character pack with Birdo, Diddy, Bowser Jr, Dry Bones, King Boo, and Petey Piranha.

Welp, maybe if the hackers look further into the filesystem, they may find something juicy. :)

You should love those kinds of hackers.

Hell, I'd be happy with just Petey and King Boo.

Just wait until those guys decipher the file partition for characters. THEN, we can talk about them.

I'm more interested in the tracks, though. :D

Let your reading comprehension run wild.

"Okiedokie, this all spread around faster than we thought it would considering it was posted in like... two Skype groups total. I suppose clarification is in order!

These icons are intended to be used for DLC; or at least, are placeholders for images that may eventually be used. Their filenames from left to right in the image are:

ym_CupIconDLC_00_130x130^h.bflim
ym_CupIconDLC_01_130x130^h.bflim
ym_CupIconDLC_02_130x130^h.bflim
ym_CupIconDLC_03_130x130^h.bflim

The "DLC" in each name can't really be mistaken. We haven't located the 3D versions that the menus use; but we haven't located any of the 3D cup icons in the first place, so there's no saying they don't exist. Mind you, in their current form, these icons are missing some files that complete cups have, namely some textures used for effects and similar. When we had the game render these, we had to use the mushroom/flower cup's effects, which might have caused small drawing errors. The other files might be downloaded someday if these cup icons are to be used for something!

Also supporting the DLC theory is that the valid track IDs in MK8 start at 0x10 and run to 0x2F. The ones before that, 0x00 - 0x0F are labelled as Reserved00 - Reserved15, exactly 16 slots that are apparently... "reserved". What's 4 x 4, I wonder? And what are they reserved for? ;)

Furthermore, there are 16 full size graphics of 12 Marios on the start line of Mario Circuit, with the word "SAMPLE" plastered across. All of these images are labelled "DLC" as well and are probably placeholders that may one day be replaced with brand new track images.

Of course, we won't know for sure until Nintendo says something.

Also, interesting discoveries, there might be plans for a Shy Guy outfit for Mii, and a Yoshi outfit for Mii. There are placeholder files for those on the disc as well, but when we tried to load them, we merely got a red suited Mii. Very unfortunate. Still might be an indicator of things to come, though!"

Re: Mario Kart 8

I hope Rusty Copper Luigi is in, too.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

Given that there will be 16 DLC tracks what I think will most likely happen is that 12 tracks will be retro with the other 4 being new. Makes the most sense since it takes longer to make new tracks and there will be 4 tracks from each game total in the end if the track count per game goes like this:

SNES and GBA: 3
GCN and Wii: 2
DS and 3DS: 1
N64: None because the vanilla game had 4.

Which totals to 12.

SO QUICK LIST OF THE RETRO TRACKS I THINK WE'LL GET:
(bold: more confident about than the others)

SNES: Choco Island 1
SNES: Koopa Beach 1
SNES Vanilla Lake (either)
GBA Cheese Land
GBA Ribbon Road
GBA Lakeside Park
GCN Wario Colosseum
GCN Bowser Castle
DS Figure-8 Circuit
Wii Toad's Factory
Wii Moonview Highway
3DS Rosalina's Ice World

I feel like a Luigi branded track should be there, but there's only one left which is Wii Luigi Circuit which isn't deserving of retro status yet. And only if we're really lucky will we get anything from the Arcade games and will probably fill the last cup if so, but I'd honestly take new tracks over the arcade ones.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

Been looking through the filesystem index on the wiki mentioned above. Came across the folder that contains the staff ghosts, where two folders exist, named slow and fast. Slow contains 32 files as expected, fast is empty, so the expert ghosts did where planned originally.

Also found MP4 and TGA files, which is funny.

I think for the MP4 it's probably music files or something (my MP4 files are music with a background that I saved off YouTube).
I don't know what a TGA file is.
