Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge - General Discussion

I think it's much more likely that, to @Jerroddragon's point, they're hesitant to shut down their brand-new ride for extended refurbishment. I don't think there's any reason to believe there's parts availability issues.

Forbidden journey does not shut down for extended maintenance, things go down due to parts. This ride will have a similar life… I doubt this ride will ever go down for an extended period of time ever.

Given that there is a gate on what seems to be a movable platform when you're returning to the station, that's probably how they do it; taking out certain karts into the maintenance bay and probably swapping them out.

Yeah. Plus I’m sure the turnaround everyday maintenance isn’t as bad as forbidden journey. They basically work right when the last guests is off to right before the first guests are allowed on lol

Okay, I'm gonna ask: How on earth do you get the Start line coin bonus? I've tried to attempt it like the last ten rides I've done it but I can't get it. I tried to push the buttons right when the countdown hits 2. What do I need to do? C'mon spill your secrets to the class!

I just need the 200 coin and the start line stamp and I will have all of the stamps for Mario Kart. It's really hard to get to 140 for me and even then that's if I'm REALLY hauling.

You press after 2 begins to fade or right after it disappears (its just like in Mario Kart 8).

Well I just did this twice…no dice. I guess the timing is extremely picky???

Well I’ve got a BIG secret I’m willing to share with the whole class. I fellow single rider just filled me in on this on my second ride today and it got me up to my all-time best score of 199 (ONE COIN SHORT OF GETTING THAT STAMP UUUUGGHH)

I literally have been doing this wrong for the past two years. When the arrows pop up calling you to turn the wheel, you are actually supposed to hold the wheel into position for at least five seconds. When I did this, I got at least 5 coins per turn.

Now you’re gonna get a higher score than everyone else in your vehicle. You’re welcome.

EDIT: I FINALLY DID IT! I FINALLY GOT ALL THE STAMPS FOR MARIO KART LETS GOOOO. I got the start bonuses but there was no sound queue that let you know you got it. Oh well. A w is a w.

That start coin bonus is always really difficult for me to get too. I have no problem doing this when I'm actually playing Mario Kart, but on the ride I rarely can make it happen.

It's probably right as the 2 stops moving. As someone who's played MK8D a lot I've consistently gotten it that way and I use both buttons just in case. If that doesn't work it could be a fluke with the cart. Can't say I remember the last time I had it not go through though.

The indicator for getting it is seeing coins appear in front of you as the Kart begins moving.
And yeah, if there's one thing the pre show absolutely bungles, it's that detail about turning. I thought it was previously brought up here but apparently not. I was lucky enough to hear it from another rider during AP previews and I've consistently hit 200+ coins on every ride since.

I have seen some TMs talk to help explain the ride during the pre show, which makes me wonder if any have mentioned that as they're talking.
