People seem to have forgotten that Fake Item Boxes didn't stop shells in MK Wii, and you could get those in first position. However, I'm not a fan of the coin mechanic too.

Also I find funny how people went from whining about the Blue Shell, the most OP item overall, to the Coin, the weakest item ever! xD

As much as I respect you opinion on the Mario Kart series I am going to have to disagree with you.  I seem to constantly get the coin when I'm in first.  Yesterday I had a race where I got off to a huge lead early.  I kept getting the coin and was hit by a red shell.  This narrowed the gap.  The second lap I had the good fortune of getting a banana peel and widened my lead again until somebody spamed three red shells at me.  No biggie.  I'm used to that stuff.  The third lap I once again get only coins and build my lead back up until about a quarter of the track is left.  Then I get nailed by a blue shell, then two red shells, and then a green shell.  6th place.  What's cool about that?  Also, those in second and third seem to get red and green shells often.  At least agianst me it seems.

Maybe.  Maybe me getting a 9999 VR on four seperate files and the second best trials overall on this site (you can look them up) was all luck.  Either that or I'm really good at party games.

as it has been said before that doesnt mean anything. Cause those numbers dont really indicate how you got them. Hell that could just mean you played the game alot. And IMO it doesnt change what i initially said as i believe the Wii one wasnt that much of a challenge and geared more toward new comers, casual players and people who just arent that great. Which would explain your high score. (no offense)

You know what?  I originally was going to ignore your original comment because I new that you were trying to get under my skin.  But I figured that I would list certain accomplishments that would prove to you that I was good at the game.  Then you disagreed just to disagree and said that it all meant nothing (no offense).  Let me tell you something.  Having the second best all around time trials on the site which you can look up does mean something if there was a large group of people putting up times (which there was).  I don't care what the racing game is.  I don't care if it's Hello Kitty Kruisers.  What it means is that you have completely mastered the tracks.  

Now you can disagree just to disagree again if you get off on that sort of thing, but I won't be answering you.  Have a good day, sir.   

It must be bad luck then.  I'll keep playing and try to get better.  That's all that I can do.

Nope, you're cleary just not skilled enough to get an item other than the coin more often than not, nor are you skilled enough to keep the peoples behind you from getting Red Shell after Red Shell or Triple Red Shell. Don't worry though, I suffer from the same lack of skill from time to time! xD

Anybody notice Mario Kart 8's sales plummet after just one week. So much for hopers and dreamers.

2nd week sales, pretty much expected of any game.
