Don't. It's just a way to cheese the race.

The game doesn't force you to be first. Actually, you're on equal footing with everyone, if you can't beat them, the only plausible explanation is that you are not good enough. Acquire proficiency.

I don't have any problem with the item balance in MKWii, unlike 8 where the 1st place get a red shell and the second place a fucking coin.

MKWii was easily the worst MK in my opinion, and it didn't handle items all that well. I'm just really glad they removed that awfull thundercloud item. 

Sure, you can get lucky and get a red shell in 1st place in 8 but that very rarely happens. I'm also pretty sure I've also got like 3 red shells while in 2nd place once. Most of the time you simply get coins or a banana when in the lead. Sure it happens every once in a while that you get very lucky but I don't think that's necesarilly a bad thing. I personally like how there's a chance the game helps you or your opponent,  that should be part of mario kart as long as it doesn't happen too often (I don't think t does)

The short cut in cheeseland is a bit too much though, I agree. But most of the shortcuts I don't have a problem with. It can add a certain tactical element where you have to decide to save your mushroom for the shortcut with the consequence of losing 1 or 2 itemboxes/potential items, or take the risk of using it and hoping you get another one in the next itembox.


I actually quite enjoyed the thundercloud. My real wish, though, is that they bring back the fake item box...



I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.

I got to visit home last weekend and got my only chance to try the new DLC. I'm back at school now until June 13th, then I should spend a lot of nights/weekends playing.



WHO IS JESUS REALLY?

The players currently in the lead are not always there purely because of skill, and similarly the players in the back are not always there because of a lack of skill. Also you still need to play well enough for advancement opportunitys to exist, since if you're too far behind then you'll still be behind even after getting a powerful item.

The coin is doesn't really help, but it doesn't hurt you either, basically it's like you missed the item boxes. The Thundercloud just screws you over.
