Today I got I was racing on Moo Moo Meadows and got a coin as my item nearly everytime. I also had one banana peel which was immediately erased by a red shell. The final lap I get nailed with three red shells and then just get hammered left and right with red shells, green shells, starmen, etc. I fall all the way down to 8th place and my item pick up is a green shell. That's right! A green shell! I wind up finishing in 9th and not making a single mistake except not getting the right items. People that say that this is a big improvement over Mario Kart Wii have no idea what they are talking about. MK8 looks pretty and controls great but has a lot more to do with luck than any other game in the series. |
That hasn't been my experience; thanks to the blue shell being nerfed I found that 150cc races were no longer determined by whether I get hit with it on the last lap or not, making it less of a lotto. Comeback items are also weaker so placing has more to do with skill than getting Star/Bullet pity sex.
