Yeah, I'm pretty sure you can't do free-for-all battles, on-line or off-line.

You can still battle online, but only with teams. (Sorry if my previous post was unclear.)

12 players, 4 teams of 3, sounds amazing right, but its no longer king of the hill, take out 3 balloons and that person not out. Its now point based.

I hope you're wrong and I hope you don't have proof :P So if three of my friends want to play each other WITHOUT computers, we can't? I seriosly hope Nintendo did not take away the free for alls :(

the addendum clearly states you can turn off the AI and play local multiplayer with only friends - both in racing and battle. "Turns out the option is in there, squirreled away amongst the many menu screens... So, with a press of a button all the problems are cleared up? Yes and no. It's great to race without interfering AI, but at the same time, this is a game clearly designed for 12 players. Track design and arena size reflects this, and without those extra 10-8 heads (depending on your local multiplayer) they can seem a tad lonely - you don't need all that space for four karts. And balloon battle? It still stinks. Meddling AI is but one of many criticisms of the mode, the balloon battle we know and love has been properly gutted - the last man standing survival element replaced with a score points against the clock event. Lose three balloons? You jump right back in with another three. AI or no AI, this ain't right. Apologies for the AI confusion, but the score stands." Though the option isn't the classic way I would like it, it's still kinda there. :?
