I've just been booted so will take that as a sign to take a break. Thanks for the races everyone.

Done the 50cc class races, now I'd like to take it online. I've added my NNNNID to the spreadsheet, Patina_of_Toast. It's room 6573 8126 1968 I'm looking for, aye?

150cc is terrible. The item spam is insane.

Getting gold trophies in the eight tournaments is definitely doable. Three starring them all will be tough though.

Few things I have observed in Online play especially where there are 12 humans.

1. They should change that if you finish first you start Last, it would break up those who are always in the bottom as the start is crucial to the whole race.
2. If you are in the top 4 it is down to far more skill than Luck. Below forth it is a cluster strawberry float, 1st-3rd I've been there a few times and it is pretty plain sailing. Down more to skill of driving.

Apart from that it is enjoying and frustrating in equal measures.

Although i definitely think the end of the race positions should be reversed for the next race. Otherwise you see a similar top 23 a lot of the time. It would mean a real rotation of players on the grid.

I started the mushroom cup 150cc, was going fine, got to Sweet Mountain and was repeatedly hit by everything. Winded up 6th. strawberry float that. It's hilarious in online play but it's really cheap in GP. If you get hit once, you're strawberry floated. Every AI will drive by you and hit you with their gooseberry fool.

But then I never really liked the GP mode in the Wii game. Online is where it's at.

Just in case people was wondering who MT is, he's a friend from another forum - sorry about that, didn't know they can join you via tournaments.

God, I am just awful at this!

I called off his players' names as they came marching up the steps behind him....All nice guys. They'll finish last. Nice guys. Finish last.

I'm doing well as DK :mrgreen: Pretty pleased considering I really wanted to use him loads alongside Toadette/Luigi/ShyGuy.
