So far ranked at two stars, some 8k points.
Kinda taking a break, but I'll play by request. Also, it'd be nice to know who adds me. PM or this thread.

I´ve been playing all day to regain the 1k rank points I lost due to some bad luck and a fucked up router. I nearly went out and smashed the thing when it disconnected me the third time that night.

7.3k points. Each I I seem to get near 8k points I lose them somehow.

Also, why can red shells penetrate fake blocks and bananas?

They just discard a banana and itself.

Everything goes through a fake item box, to make it seem more like.. an item box, you know what I'm saying?

I´ve been able to block stuff with a fake item box before. Items go through like 20% of the time, though.

That can't be right, because you're not supposed to be able to block with fake item boxes. Maybe it hit something else and you didn't notice.

Can´t have hit something else because my fake item box disappeared when it hit.

So I got this game some time ago finally.

Grumble Volcano is an odd one indeed.

Grumble Volcano is hated. Me, with my rotten luck, as soon as there is 1 in the votings I´ll most likely get it.

C'mon, Grumble Volcano is easy.

I'm just of the opinion that race tracks shouldn't get smaller every lap.

On the note of difficulty, the tracks themselves are easy, but what's hard is that GP is just the computer players spamming you with items.

As of now I'm at 6300. Every time I get higher than that I constantly unfairly lose.

Grumble Volcano is pretty cool. If you can drive good enough, then you can get away from the noob players with there exceeding luck with items every 5 seconds, and you can still have a lot of space between you and 2nd. The tracks you have to watch out for are:

GBA Shy Guy Beach
Luigi Circuit
Moo Moo Meadows
GCN Peach Beach
N64 Mario Raceway.

Those are the ones where the other players will catch up to and spam you with blue shells before the finish line.

If you really want to show driving skills here's the tracks to do so:

N64 Bowser's Castle: The amount of obstacles are a hindrance to new players, but veterans can fight through it. Also an awesome track for setting up traps and barricades.

N64 DK Jungle Parkway: Using wheelies and forcing mini-boosts are the key to this course, you can leave your competitors in the dust.

GCN DK Mountain: Tight turns toward the end leave the spammers with nothing.

Koopa Cape: Tight turns, and following the water trail will gain you distance.

Grumble Volcano: Again, the amount of obstacles are a hindrance to new players, but veterans can fight through it.

Rainbow Road: Very scary turns are cake to the skilled drivers. Spammers find themselves falling from unpolished drift abilities

Toad's Factory: Timing is the key here.

GBA Bowser's Castle 3: Keep those turns tight, follow them with a mini-turbo, and then a wheelie, and you will set a gap between you and the others.

SNES Ghost Valley 2: A shortcut will help with the aid of tight turns and wheelies.

Moonview Highway: Follow the center line, for it is the guide between vast obstacles. Weak players end up hitting the vehicles.

Bowser's Castle: Special place to do tricks, and smart obstacle dodging will win you the gold here.


I'm not trying to sound like a prick, but I just get annoyed when I get hit with item after item at stupid tracks like GCN Peach Beach. It's easy to sit behind and grab a powerful item in 12th.

But I've set up many traps in places to earn me a maximum rating and 3 stars.

Why's Coconut mall not included there? Aka. The "OMG HE HAS STARS HIT HIM!" track spammed for hours. Also, Luigi circuit is piece of frigging cake. I won the track with at least ten seconds over 2nd place on Wi-Fi. >>

Also, Wi-Fi is very dependant on the group. Some, even if you win, you are guaranteed to lose points.

N64 DK Jungle Parkway is mostly a bitch when going across the river for me, since most of the tight drifting bikes and karts overtake there.

I never really liked the layout/concept of Coconut Mall, even though it was the only course in the game to nearly fully integrate Miis (my dad's Mii constantly tried to run me over) and the only course in the game to feature those goddamn escalators. Those escalators moved too fast and you couldn't drive up the down escalator without waiting a half an hour.

I´ll give you a tip. Keep spamming the jump/drift button depending on what controls you use. Hopping like that makes it go faster.

Well, while I hate the course.. Hit the down escalator doing a wheelie from a mushroom. You'll bounce over it, seriously. XD

That's another thing I hate: wheelies.

Now, don't take this wrong, but I kick ass on a bike versus the CPU.

But every goddamn time I pop a wheelie I have to hop to get out of it, and popping the goddamn wheel down doesn't go a thing. Trying to pull a wheelie is also hard. I find myself pounding myself in the chin quite often and not getting a wheelie. It's just raaaeg. :V


And yeah, I use the Whiil.
