Mario Kart Wii - Aug 9 10 B

Here's a second set of races from August 9th. I actually thought there would be only one set, but it turns out there was going to be a second. I was certainly unprepared for it. Just look at what happens 20 seconds into this video!

Race #1
Grumble Volcano
That's right--I was mercilessly bumped off the course! Of course, you're supposed to be merciless in Mario Kart. That's what distinguishes kart racing to the more realistic stuff like Gran Turismo and Blur. (Not that there's anything wrong with those racers, and not like they're trying to be as realistic as possible or they wouldn't be very good.) I made some bad judgment in the third lap at around the same spot too.

Race #2
N64 Mario Raceway
With very close races like the ones in these videos, every little thing can set you back tremendously. You can see my position fluctuate wildly in this race, where I even take the lead for a brief moment. By the way, when I was at Anime Expo on July 3rd, I managed to find a plush of Bowser Jr.! That was pretty cool. Incidentally, I also found an SD Usopp from the One Piece Portrait of Pirates figurine line. (I was, unfortunately, not able to find the Figma figurine of Drossel von Flugel from Fireball. Anybody know where that may be available?)

Race #3
Wario's Gold Mine
I wasn't shoved off right from the get-go. That's a good sign. I almost did though. How did that Red Shell hit two people at once? Races on Wario's Gold Mine, for a reason I can't explain, gets pretty spread out, as opposed to most other courses when held in these closed rooms. It's easy to get set back and difficult to catch back up.

Race #4
GCN Mario Circuit
Looks like we race on this again, except not mirrored. Constantly in the middle of the pack, I kept seeing crashing and smashing all around me. This is the true spirit of Mario Kart going on all around! Interesting that I went up three positions near the end due to a simple Mushroom.

Do alot of people put Peach in the Mach Bike and Baby Daisy in the Magikruiser cause they give thumbs down for the Sugarscoot, Zip Zip, Bit Bike and Standard Bike S and M?

@deathboy126 A lot of players have a liking for the inward-drifting bikes because they can take extremely tight corners.

In the beginning there is a clear reason as to why I can't play this game anymore. I rage too hard when someone purposely smashes me off the edge also sacrificing themself.

All types of games except racing I can play casually but racing games I take way too seriously and in mario kart it's practically one big luck competition so I get too mad.. Somehow the DS one is still fun to play though

@presidentofrap you have to go to time trails and unlock 24 fast staff ghosts.

@presidentofrap Through unlocking Fast Staff Ghosts. I'm not sure how many--12, I think.

[presidentofrap]

@Overhazard is it okay if i ask how you unlock the sprinter ( plz dont hurt me!)

@MV934 I looked at the back of the game box and found that you're absolutely right. It is a kart racer with a midnight racing visual style. I'm surprised it took the industry this long to come up with such a thing.
