Well something I noticed is that you just drive your line, even if your are on 3rd or worse place. You need to get "?" at all costs. If you are 5th or worse, the items your are getting are worth the time you put in getting them garantued. It seems to me, what item you get is set by the place your drive over the item box, not the time the you can actually use it. That means if I make a jump to get a "?" and you get passed me, I get the more powerfull item, and most likley throw something add you, or get you with a mushroom or something.

And in the end, only the place after the 3rd round counts, so maybe if you are in the pack, think about to make the jump to get a good item.

Also I noticed that you nearly never lay down your "protection" if you are first. If you have the second banashelf allready availible, lay down the current one on a good place. It will help you. A lot of people drive into the banashelfs.

On the throw somebody off the course part: It seems that there are 2 things important for that: How "heavy" is the bike you are using and how much do you drive in the direction of the driver you want to throw off. It helps if you throw sombody harder by drifting, or have a miniboost. If he is driving straight, he will seriosly loose his "line".

 

I noticed one thing yesterday; you and NJ5 have learned how to hit people. The family of german languages doesn't have words to describe what i thought about you two during the races. I think that Rols problem definately is that he has got used to drive in the first place, now that others are cathing up with him, and he's not familiar with the item spam and getting hit by someone, when driving in the center places, we others do have an advantage over him. Haha. @Rol: I would have beat you anyway in Shy Guy Beach. By the way, it was me, who fired the first red shell, but i didn't know that you hit a crab too (you would have been doomed even without the crab).

I know how to get the people out of my way and stop them, and I choosed a bike that is able to. Could drive with the same as rol, but has no weight and therefore you loose trying. If I have lags, I still know, but the problem is that their Wii doesn't know in time what I am doing. Yesterday I had no legs :P

So if you see my name, or see me in your back mirror, get the hell out of my way, it is easier for you, and me :P (*trying to be funny*)
