@Rol,
Yeah, great one! Very well deserved of course.
It was really more because of you, but the DK Mountain was a great one.
I loved racing past Rolf on the last straight...
Were some nice races. I sucked big time (and had loads of bad luck also).

Everyone has bad luck. for instance I was second behind Rol I think on that Autumn track, but somone sent a POW perferctly in time for me to drop off the end of the boost ramp (the one before the shaking net) sending me to last.
I despise POW blocks, and I am glad there is now a way to partly avoid them but it's still not great if on a corner, and sometimes I have the timing wrong. Also can someone tell me what you do to get a fast start, I swear a few people have told me to just press A when the noise for "2" chimes, but that just results in a spin start... What I do is hold down A just before "2" but then I have to let go and press it again just as the final chime sounds, which is awkward and I am not that great at it, so if there is a simpler way I would like to know. |
You start accelerating about halfway between 2 and 1 being displayed in the countdown. According to my experience, it's slightly before the second chime ends. |
And on a side note, even that you get boost from the start, the effect of the boost depends on your timing. The later you hit the gas, the smaller the boost and opposite, except if you hit too early, it just spins.
