Gosh I despise Bowsers Castle.... there must be something wrong with that track.
In GP 2 the first race was Bowsers Castle, I fought up to second (because I think I started in 7th due to it being the first race) but someone sent a lightning as I was going over the jump after the huge bowser.
It starts me after the jump so I can't get an item.... but I fight back up and down a bit, then I get a bullet bill at the end of lap 2 so I move up to 4th, but someone sent a red shell before I could pick an item.... managed to move back up to second place before the final corner, and as I am going along the bumps I get a blue shell... and as I start moving someone flattens me so I ended up 9th (which I think was either last or second to last)
I don't mind that kind of stuff occasionally, but with Bowsers Castle it goes like that every time (even on a CPU versus they always manage to lightning/blue shell me into the lava) ???
Besides that though I did pretty good.... little annoyed about the very first race on Warios goldmine though... I had moved up to 2nd or 3rd at the beginning, got 3 red shells and was flattened by TopCat.... and couldn't avoid my own red shell when starting again.
I think TopCat got me another 2 times in that race as well.

I liked the draws, has there ever been a first place draw before? I don't remember one. And this time we had 2.
