Ah, this might explain the difference on our perspective regarding the coins. Offline they are immaterial, winning 150cc/mirror 3 star is a walk in the park. Poor human racers are far more aggressive with weapons than the game's best AI. This makes poor item balance far more apparent in online races/races against humans.


Coins arent that big of a problem imo.

Sometimes they are useful, even on first place (when you dont have 10 yet).

However, i think they should lower the chance to like ~30% (seems like its around 50% right now) and another 30% for Green Shell and a Banana.

I could live with that as long as they also didn't give you the coin when you already had 10.

Except when you keep getting bombarded with green shells and red shells!

Have I missed something? fire hopping? what's that.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

A technique (probably just a bug) that gives you an advantage. You should check out this video:

Nice to see they are supporting the game with updates, don't really remember any game updates with the Wii.



The coin is useful as a recovery item, negating most of the hit to your top speed that losing three coins incurs.

I tried pulling off the fire hopping, but it's really not worth it!

In Time Trials yes, but it's pretty much hit-miss against the CPUs! Sometimes it really helps me, but sometimes it's just not fucking worth it!
