It seems you two are on to something. My driving skills were hitting a plateau a week after I got the game and since then my improvements have been very small. Since then everybody slowly caught up and my early advantage has been neutralized by now. It's time for me to learn how to use items. Today it has been pretty annoying that I got punished hard everytime I made a mistake. For example I hit a crab on Shy Guy Beach and was rewarded with several red shells to put me from first to worst. The final race of the last GP today was so fitting for my streak of bad luck. I was leading for most of the race by a good margin and near the end of the race everything was coming together to put me back into second place causing me to become second overall. |
You wouldn't have got 1st overall Roland, us two were quite a distance from everyone else so had you got 1st place I would have got second.... and still won overall.
I can't remember the exact breakdown of points but as I was 10 points ahead of you after Rainbow Road, and I think 2nd place in those races was getting 10 points (if it was only 9 then you are correct you would have won overall)
Was it a Red Shell that hit you by any chance? because I think I fired it at a pretty perfect time after the blue shell but I wasn't sure about those last item boxes and was hoping you didn't manage to get another item.
