So, I should try playing on 3G and win with lag?

3G is the blue shell of internet connection for MK7. A permanent blue shell

@routsounmanman - The three green shells combo is a deadly one on races where there's no lag involved. Myself, I love the three bananas or the Bo-omb. I can aim that bastard like a boss xD.

Bom-omb is my worst item by far, both avoiding it and using it!!! When I get one, I usually just pop it on my ass and release it before my next item box... Super deadly with Green Shells, though, love them.

Same here, I can hit 4 people with 3 green shells! :P

I noticed the online game is way more unstable on 3DS than on Wii.

With the Wii version I have never had any error or connection lost, but with the 3DS it can happen.

Other than that, the game is great. Is there a Vgchartz community?

Rage-quitting is easier in this game, i've noted. A quick click of the fingers and you pop the cartridge out

Quite a bad day online today, as i've been consistently winning before, and then ended up with two 6th/7 place showings on Maka Wuhu for no reason at all today (everyone just seemed to be faster than me. Last time this happened was in Kart DS and it was only later i found out everyone was snaking but me), though that wasn't what got me. A last-second raccoon tail hit on one race that put me from 3rd to 8th got me clicking the cartridge out

I wonder if it was using Wario that got me... I balanced it out to fix the acceleration problem a bit and actually had quite significant speed, but did not perform as well as i have with Shy Guy, Daisy, or Koopa...

And how the hell can you get a 40 point win (and being more than 10 points ahead of 2nd place!) in a cup but not get the 3 stars? What arbitrary criteria are they going for here?

For the bolded - You also need more than 35 coins in a cup, in addition to the 40 points. I didn't knew what was the criteria before so I went and tested it and found that getting less than 35 coins never gave me 3 stars.

As for the rage quitting, been tempted to do it, but so far have resisted it.
