I thought the tournaments would be head-to-head races, but it's more of a high-score competition. It is cool that they can change the courses and rules around though.
| Quote: | Every few weeks, a new tournament will appear on the Mario Kart Channel... Tournaments might take the form of a challenge for players to race a certain course as fast as they can with specific characters, or to collect a number of coins on a course using the Wii Wheel™ accessory or another control setup. They can feature unique rules or obstacles on the course.
The first tournament, which appears today, directs racers to compete for the fastest time on the Mario Circuit. Look closely though – something may be different. Players can attempt the challenge as often as they like during the duration of the tournament. Their best time will be recorded and added to the worldwide rankings, allowing players to see how they stack up against the best racers from around the world. |

I just submitted my time of 2:01.825, which looks slightly above average.
World's best time right now is 1:33.779! 
Right now you can't view the actual run, I wonder they will let you when the tournament is over? |

It would be better if there were no items and no CPUs. THEN we can actually go for the record.
But I like the idea of the new twists to the courses. I think I did okay, but not good enough...I got hit by a Blue Shell ;3; |

That error code? Blow on the disk, and get dust off of it. That's what I did last night. You can still go wi-fi on everything else, except the game. |

Yes, because blowing on a disk will solve all your internet problems! :D

Gawd demmit Ninty! In the European (English) version, they're called 'Competitions' instead of 'Tournaments'. Thanks for trying to confuse us again! >.<
My high score is 01:48.854, but I was lucky and got a Triple Mushroom just in time =D |

I tried uploading a time of around 1:50 the other day but couldn’t because of error 61010  . I will retry tomorrow. Hopefully it will be better then. |
