Sweet Sweet Canyon- Dragon and I tussle for victory, both finding ourselves victims of the blue shell. But then just as I round the final corner with glory in my sight........ Degoose appears out of nowhere with an epic shortcut! :shock:

Having seen the replay I actually discovered I helped him win by firing a red shell at him. :lol: It takes out the one already chasing him. :lol: :lol: :lol:


Hehe brill race ,I luckily got three mushrooms at the end to get through and a little luck needed .

Jeez, single player Grand Prix is bordering unplayable for me. The AI just keeps cheating sooo much. There's literally nothing I can do other than keep trying and hoping luck is on my side.

I usually go for handling over straight speed so usually normal cart, maybe slick tyres.
Hmm, where is the world ranking for time trials now?

When I use the horn in an online game, all the other characters jump out of their skin. Is this reflected in all of your games, or is it just seen in mine?

When you press it, all the other racers get a fright and they all jump in the karts. I just wondered if this is seen in everyone's games or just my own.

:oops: 8-)

Last nights Moo Moo Meadows- Battle of the heavy weights as Wario and Bowser (Dragon) go head to head to see who is the greatest fatso of them all. Typically Wario clinches it with a sneaky and oh so beautiful red shell at the end. DAT laugh. :wub:



I love the way we both barge Luigi out of the way. :lol:

I too have wondered this, though it would essentially end up being the start of any GTA Online race with everyone honking...

I wonder if there's an tactical reason to use the horn. For example, maybe a character holding an item will drop that item in shock if you honk your horn near them.

You should get a bit of invincibility when your hit with something to avoid being bombarded with more gooseberry fool. Talk about kicking a man when hes down.

Royal Raceway- 3 Yoshi's (Neph, Chris and Jamie) come together with me to create an explosive conclusion but pay close attention to the background, as Degoose attempts probably the most ridiculous shortcut ever! :lol: Also contains more of me and Dragon smashing a Luigi.

I couldnt find this moment but I got you doing something like it-



Me checking out the local flora too. :shifty:
