I played it offline and it's fun like any Mario Kart has been for me in the past, I play it online and I give me that feeling I get everytime I see a person with a cute kitten in thier avatar: I want to pop off it's head and siphon out the guts. Of course I'm a sore loser ^_^. I never could understand how I can go an entire match not getting hit and shooting red shells at but always end up in 6th or some other mid place. How that happens is beyond me. Maybe some cars are just faster I guess. |
Some cars are faster, yes, but there are also dozens of little tiny tricks which add up to skilled players driving a lot faster than the unskilled. Tricks for getting the most mini-boosts, tricks for avoiding enemy weapons, taking hidden/dangerous shortcuts, laying traps where enemies will hit them.
If you watch what some of the good racers do, you get a sense for all these little tricks and why the most skilled racers win so much. Racing ghosts will help to teach you where the shortcuts are and how to whore out those mini-boosts. When it comes to using and avoiding items, nothing beats practical experience.
