I think I have found that the most important thing for me against good players (particularly where there are 8 or more players) is never to use a bike with low acceleration which means no Mach Bike or Bowser Bike.
For some reason when I use those bikes when one thing goes wrong (namely a blue shell or anything that causes me to lose my protection) the time it takes to get up to full speed causes a million things to go wrong (getting hit by 5 red shells then a person with a star). Before I know it I have dropped from 1st or 2nd to like 8th place and once you get got up in the battle in the back and middle of the pack finding your way back to the top is one hell of a difficult mission.
Conclusion - I have to stick with Bullet Bike.
