I made this becasue Mario Kart is so frustrating!
(and because I hate those Blue Shells!!)
-
Some content would have been helpful. Anyway.
1. Blue Shells. Arrgh. I was winning. Again.
2. Sore Thumb. The "A" button was a pain after hours of playing. Why don't more games have customizable controls.
3. Lagging/dropping WiFi. I think people were doing it on purpose when they were losing.
-
The computer getting blue shells all the time and me barely ever getting them.
-
Pretty much what Luigison and Chris said. Computer sending a blue shell while you're in the lead. Whenever I hear that Blue Shell 'shwoop' launch sound, I think 'Oh, shi-' *BOOOOOM* Shell hits me.
-
I don't like it when people complain because I beat them in multiplayer MK64. =P
No, seriously, I hate it when you're about to win and something- usually an item- prevents you from doing so. It's also annoying when you're knocked off the stage by a shell or you slip on a banana and fall off. Not only does the shell hit you and send you flying, but you also lose more time by falling off. It's unbearably irritating.
-
I dunno what it is, but the CPU never overtakes me out of nowhere when the race is almost over. I just here a lot of people complain about this, and it never seems to happen with me.
-
I hate on Wi-Fi when someone capable of hacking the game brings up Nintendo DS as a course. Then they do nothing but jump around until the other members decline (there is nowhere to go to, and falling off makes the game freeze).
I also hate cheating A.I, as mentioned a few years ago here (http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?topic=5986.0).
-
I hate when I'm in first, then a heavy-weight kart comes up from behind, rams into me, and throws me off the edge. By the time Lukitu(sp?) comes and puts me back on the track, I’ve will have noticed that everyone has gotten in front of me and I am in last. This is especially annoying when in the final lap, near the end.
That and those annoying blue shells.
-
The Special Cup on ye olde Super Mario Kart. It's friggin' hard!
-
When you get cheezed to infinity by the 150cc coms in the first Mario Kart
-
I think the most annoying thing for me was my step-dad barging into my bedroom during the oh so critical race on Rainbow Road in 150cc All Cup Tour causing me to completely blow the race. Normally, my boyfriend and I co-op, but I was going solo this particular time.
-

-
2 words: Freakin' funny.
-
Since I'm getting hit by an item every 2 seconds EVERY moment is annoying to me.
-
That comic was the funniest thing EVER. But Batman dosn't really seem like the kind of person that has time to do that kind of stuff...
-
Daisy's expression in the second panel is priceless. I do find her voice annoying.
-
I hate how CPU players never directly use items on each other, just on the human player. For example, if you're in 3rd and the 2nd place (CPU player) has a red shell, it will throw the shell backward at you instead of forward at the CPU ahead of it.
-
Daisy and Batman... who'd ever thought they would be a couple?
Another annoying moment in the Mario Kart are those blasted staff times in MK:DS. The staff are just too good! You have to memorize and perfect the entire course in order to have a slight chance at beating them. I've only beaten one staff time, on Bowser's castle.
-
Snaking my friend. I haven't been working at those staff ghosts, so I've only beaten the ones for Figure-8 Circuit,
Comma.
That's all. Wow. I've unlocked a ton but quite a few I've lost to by about ten seconds.
-
Hahaha, MB. Nice.
Basically, any time where you're winning and someone way behind messes you up because CPU assistance in all Mario Kart game is skewed way too much fits into this category.
-
I hate in MKDS those stupid Bullet Bills! If a CPU has one, it crashes through all racers including me EVERY time. Another thing that annoys me is on Rainbow Road (MKDS) when you get to the loop-de-loop and you fall off, you sometimes will be automatically last.
-
I never get in trouble with bullet bills, and the only go on the center of the track so I avoid them easily by moving off to the side. No, the REAL item that's annoying is the Blue Shell.
-
SMK-Rainbow Road
MK64-The AI and Toad's Turnpike on EXTRA
MKSC-The AI on the SMK Bonus tracks
MKDD-Constant voice looping and Blue Shells
MKDS-Lag on Wi-fi, Disconnectors.
It's possible to dodge a Blue Shell in Mario Kart DS. When I mean dodge, really, I mean it. No hitting a bananna to spin out and whatnot.
-
When you're playing battle mode on MK64, and you fire a red shell, but the person is behind you, so it hits you.
-
Most annoying moments? The bloopers in MKDS.
-
Hey SMBZ fan, I don't mean to be rude, but you might wanna take that banner done.
*It's a freakin' cool movie though*
-
Blue shells in MKDD/MKDS
Bowser Castle MKDS - If you get attacked on the rotating pipe part of the course
MKDS - Get hit by a lightning bolt just before you are about to reach a jump.
-
When you throw green shells carelessly, and bounce back at you.
-
MB: Pure genius!
Now for annoying moments in Mario kart...where do I begin? Probably the most blatant screw-over of all time is the infamous blue-shell-prevents-you-from-winning-race. Or maybe the difficulty of Special Cup on the original game. I can't explain the elation I felt when me and my brother finally beat the game in a co-op effort.
-
Every time I'm online, I always get like, 2 or 3 blue shells... I still win though =)
-
Hmm.. Well, I can't really think of anything that's annoying in the first 3 Mario Karts, so I'll just use my rant on the other two..
1. When you're struck by lightning, a blue shell, a bomb, or fall off the edge of the track, you lose the item you had in reserve. That's annoying.
2. When the CP's don't use items on other CP's, but instead wait and use them on you, usually at bad moments (ie: just seconds before going of the Zippers for that big jump..)
3. When you're hit by a red shell, a blue shell, another red shell, lightning, and a green shell and are completely stopped just inches from the line while Petey Pirahna and his partner take first place from you when you've had it most of the race.
4. In MKDS, when you hit anything on the track (ie: pinballs, snowmen, crabs) you lose the item you had in reserve (I think.. it's acutally been awhile since I've played)
-
I agree with you Toad, on 2 and 4. In MKDS, when you are in any Battle Mode game, everytime you get near a CP, it just shoots out stuff like crazy. Once you are away , they stop. That's annoying and wierd.
-
Aww man, now I have a new annoyance. Red Shells.
Online, red shells are harder to dodge since they home in on you. (If they pass you, they stop and come back for you.) Items usually don't work online that much against Red Shells.
Heck, I think Red Shells are more annoying than Blue Shells!
Blue Shells are actually easier to dodge!
-
I hate during online play when I'm far behind and I get absolutely nothing out of the Item Boxes but Mushrooms. I want to say that I feel they're useless at that point, but I if do someone will come in and say "If you think that then you suck at MKDS" *cough*Megabyte*cough*.
-
What I really hate in mario kart is when your in the lead and a CPU comes up out of no were and hits you with redshells witch almost stops you to a complete halt. Also the blue shells too.
-
Items usually don't work online that much against Red Shells.
Funny thying is, in a lot of Red Shell situations, online and off, I've been able to block them with items while they're behind by simply dropping an item backwards. Works a lot for me.
-
Funny thying is, in a lot of Red Shell situations, online and off, I've been able to block them with items while they're behind by simply dropping an item backwards. Works a lot for me.
There's a delay when I drop items so I'm not sure when to exactly drop it.
-
MK:DD when ever I aim an item behind me, I always loosen my grip on the A button.
That, and Special Cup in 150cc in the same game. The first courses are pretty easy, but Bowser's Castle is pretty hard with all the turns and lava. Rainbow Road is alright, but I keep falling off the edge.
That and my sister always whines whenever I restart the thing cause she wants to watch TV.
-
Interesting that you would find Bowser's Castle pretty hard-- In 150cc, it's the only course I can get a great distance away from the computers. In 50cc, I nearly lap people.
It's all relative, though, when you consider timing and ability to power slide strategically.
-
What I always hate is when your about to win, the last one gives the thunder thingy and another one sends a blue shield to say hello. So your bleeding on the ground and newbs run all over you and... AAARGH
-
I thought blue shields were meant to protect, not desttroy, haha, Toad is bleeding on the floor!
-
1. Falling into a pit, lake, etc. (Especially if another kart pushes me down into one)
2. Red Shells
-
The tantalizing jerks on Wi-Fi who purposely wait next to the finish line and get 1st place right in front of you.
-
I have been playing for awhile on MKDS. I get ***'s every time I play GP mode. I win almost every time I'm on Wi-Fi.
Heres something REALLY funny.
One time I was tottally destroying my opponent, so he gave up, but he didn't quit. so I lapped him, but I didn't finish the race instead I tried hopping up and down, attempting to communicate with him. For 5 minutes we hopped around the course having a wonderful time, then he quit.
-
As a veteran player of Mario Kart, I understand a thread like this.
-
Wow, it musta been 2 months since I posted.
On Wi-Fi the other day, it was terrible. This guy who was Peach kept on getting Blue Shells every time she hit an item box. It was feakin annoying!!!
-
Mario Kart 64: I like this game overall. If anything's annoying about it, it would have to be the changing scroll speed of different tracks. The jungle one is really slow sometimes but really fast other times. It all depends on how many people play. I haven't played since August so the player numbers are blank off the top of my head.
Mario Kart for Game Cube: The most annoying thing about this is that I lose to my 12 year old cousin all the time on it. And that I can't play anything above 50 cc very well. Basically, I wish there was some way to make this game easier.
Both: What annoys me is when people ridicule me for using Peach. On the Nintendo 64 version, I almost always beat people with her, about 97% of the time. I have no idea why I am so good at the 64 version and not the Game Cube, that fact also kills me.
-
Maybe because those games have a ton of differences. Also, I don't know how you can consider losing to someone an annoying quality of a game. You just have to play better.
-
Well, the topic is about annoying moments, not qualities. Losing is what I consider to be a "moment".
-
What's annoying about this is that someone who is almost half my age can pick up on this stuff better than me. They claimed the Game Cube had the easiest games of the systems that came out five years ago but frankly I find the old Nintendo 64 way easier. Maybe I'm just getting old?!?
-
Two Questions:
1. Where did that come form all of a sudden?
2. What do you mean?
-
MKDD1. when i am driving along in first and i get smaked by a guy ABOVE me who messed his item shot up and hit me (for some reason this happens all the time)
MKDD2. when i am playing with my sis and she hits me with lighting a blue shell AND a banana
MKDS 1. when on wifi and a guy wins and he makes fools of all the other players
MKDS 2. when on wifi and a guy knocks me over the edge and then he waits there for me to set back up and then knocks me over again I HATE THAT
-
This is a little off topic, but something weird happens in MKDS.
This is maybe a glitch that only CPU players can do. In Peach Gardens, I saw a CPU grab a Bullet Bill and slammed into 1st. But then, it drives to the corner where the two flower patches are and after a while, it teleports it back to the fountain, and the 1st-7th opponents overlap it like 2 times! It was very weird.
Also, if anyone is in the 8th place starting point at Bowser's Castle, the game makes a mistake and says you are in the 7th place position.
-

Ah..........wait, what?
-
The most annoying monent would have to be in Super Mario Kart; when ever Mario or Luigi were 1st and then you got ahead they would use a star...
-
I hated when every computer character got to use unlimited special items in SMK. i.e. Mario and Luigi with stars, Peach with poison mushrooms, DK and banana peels, etc.
-
I feel your pain. It happens in Double Dash too to me sometimes.
-
I found a new distraction today...those dang Chain Chomps in MK: DD. Those things are hard to avoid!
-
Lagging wi-fi/people dropping becuase they lost.
Rainbow Road in MKDS.
Blue shells.
Lightning bolts.
-
Mario Kart is a great source for fun.
Last lap! 1st place! final stretch! BOOM Red Shell! BOOM! Banana Peel! BOOM! Spiny Shell! BOOM! Last Place! x_x;
Stuff like that just loves to pile itself upon you just before your moment of glory
-
You know, I was playing with some friends last night and I was hit by a blue spike shell...when I wasn't even in first place. I thought those only hit the first-placer.
-
Well, being that they travel along the ground, it is more than likely that some people, first place or not, will be hit.
-
But it's got wings in all the new games...
I always get a kick out of using it while in first place, it just turns around and goes back to you
rofl
-
There's a small period of time where if you go from first to second after the blue shell has been fired, you'll still get hit even in in 2nd or even lower position. When the shell gets close enough to the front of the pack, it seems to then lock in a specific person and stops caring about position. It really stinks because you get passed AND blasted.
Using a blue shell in first place right as someone tries to pass you is great.
-
Not if you get caught in the nuclear explosion...
I remember that. I heard the shell coming but was too far ahead to stop and let someone else get hit.
You like how in Mario Kart DS you can tell who has what. A guy got a Blue Shell when we were head to head, then we got in a driving backwards race. He won and I got Shell'd :(
-
I meant purposely blowing yourself and the other guy up is what's hilarious. Same concept as point-blank rocketing someone in FPS.
-
This is sort of off topic: Mario Kart 64 has been released on the Virtual Console!
Back to topic: In Mario Kart 64, if someone (CP player, or human) bumps you while you are trying to powerslide, causing you to either spin out or drive in the wrong direction.
-
I absolutely love all the Mario Kart games, but could not agree more on how frustrating they can be.
Super Mario Kart: 150cc, there's nothing else to say about it. The game cheats you in every manner possible. Luigi turns on his Star whenever he wants and takes me out or makes it impossible to pass.
MK64: Toad's Turnpike on Extra. I've never won that race. The best I've ever managed is second.
MKSC: I can't think of anything specific that other MK games don't have.
MKDD: The handling seems really awkward in this game. It's most frustrating when you've been playing a different MK game and then go back to this one.
MKDS: Wifi is irritating. I love it, but hate it. The lag doesn' bother me that much, but the hackers, the disconnectors, and the snakers that seem to never get their hands tired out. I can snake wicked fast, but not for too many races, I need to rest my hands, but some people just don't need too.
-
One time while I was playing MKDS I was totally winning the race (In 1P) And those Computers fire a blue shell.(T_T) As soon as it was hovering right above me I thought It would be cool if i dropped a bannana and jumped at the same time. (as a last resort thing like jumping before going off a ramp) When the shell came down the explosion happened... BUT IT DIDNT HIT ME! I was like holy dukar! I dodged a blue shell! ...After that I finished the race and did something else that I can't remember... =/
Still If I could figure out the glitch that caused me to dodge it... that would be cool. (Btw I was snaking pretty fast so that might have been it. AND I was on 150cc)
-
I dodged a blue shell once. I believe someone had fired it, and it hit JUST as I had launched out of the cannon on the Bowser's Airship or whatever level, so the blue shell hit the ground behind me and I flew past it.
-
I screwed one of my friends over while playing Shine Thief on Mario Kart: Double Dash. There were 2 other players, and he had the shine. As the timer ran down to zero, I sat in the corner, waiting with the lightning that I had received about 20 seconds prior. When the timer was about to hit zero, I used the lightning. I didn't win, but I got a great joy out of watching him shouting "Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
-
When you have an itch and you have to stop holding the A button do scratch it xD
-
You could always wait for a straightaway and then take your hand off of whatever's being used to steer, depending on the game.
-
Wow, I like the outside-the-box thinking, Adicus. That is a very good ANNOYING Moment!
-
but those straightaways are snaking moments! (especially on Figure 8 circuit(And on MKDS))
-
When you have an itch and you have to stop holding the A button do scratch it xD
That happens to me during just about every game I have ever played.
-
You hold the A button during just about every game?
-
Very funny, but every time I play a game, I end up having to pause the game to scratch an itch.
-
But then when you are online... Yeah. You can't pause it >.<
-
BLUE SHELLS.
Also, having your attempt to throw a blue shell thwarted by the fact that you just fell over the side. And I think the most annoying moment is the one where you realize that you're playing the game at somebody else's house, because you can't afford to buy it yourself at the moment, and they won't let you borrow it.
-
I hate how CPU players never directly use items on each other, just on the human player. For example, if you're in 3rd and the 2nd place (CPU player) has a red shell, it will throw the shell backward at you instead of forward at the CPU ahead of it.
Heh, I've noticed that too. It is really annoying. I guess all of the CPU characters don't care who wins, as long as it's not you.
-
I have found that blue shells really aren't that bad, because often times I am too far ahead for them to catch up after I've been nailed. Of course, more than one in a row is pretty disastrous.
-
How about any time Toad opens his mouth?
-
How about any time Toad opens his mouth?
What about Daisy?
-
^ Hey, they should pair up!
The music on the loser scoreboard in MKDS, for one.
-
^ Hey, they should pair up!
That... Would be Doomsday.
-
How about any time Toad opens his mouth?
*sulks*
-
Heheheh.
Personally, I love it when the virtual Toad gets hit by something in MK64, and you rush past him. It sounds something like this: AAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaa
-
That's probably the only good voice clip Toad has in MK64. In other games, his voice is actually pretty tolerable. Especially his current throaty voice. That's awesome.
-
I liked his voice during the N64 era. I'm not fond of the one he's got currently. I find it tolerable. The best voice he had was in Wario's Woods (Breakfast!).
-
That was him!? I thought that was just some generic announcer's voice! There's actually three different voices in Wario's Woods.
-
I always just assumed it was him, since the voice only talked after getting combos, or on the results screen, after beating a rival (in any mode where you're playing against somebody).
-
When you have no coins in Super Mario Kart, and the other cars can push you around like a scrawny little 50 lb. kid trying to fight a 150 pound bully.
-
I am surprised none of you mentioned battles against other humans. I really hate when a lost green shell comes out of nowhere to hurt you (3 Extra frustration points if it was your own shell). Another one is when you get hit just after inflating your balloon again and again, going from 5 to 1 balloons instantly without anything to do.
I discovered a glitch that lets you hit an invulnerable opponent with mushroom, killing him without a chance if he/she only had 2 balloons (unless they predict you doing the glitch and move, but that means they will be running around with just one balloon, and that is not safe). My friends don't do it often, but it is not hard to know how someone feels after being glitched.
Another thing I find annoying is when someone stays in the second floor in Pipe Plaza shooting red shells. But when you successfully hit them with a bomb, it is priceless... "[wtd]WERDATVOMBCOMFROM???'!" Good times. In that same stage, we usually put bananas in the exact spot you would fall after taking the pipe, making them unavoidable traps. It is quite annoying falling on them, mainly because it could be avoided by paying attention to the touch screen.
The last one I can think about is when something penetrates your triple shell shield. Not like destroying one one attacking in that spot, I mean literally squeezing in the space there naturally is between two shells.
-
I was going to say that my step-dad screwed me over while I was doing MK:DD 150cc All-Cup Tour Rainbow Road, but it seems that I already did. So instead I'll just say that beating my boyfriend's time trial record on MKDS Luigi's Mansion was rather annoying. Things would go just fine until a powerslide malfunctions or a tree just goes out of its way to block me or some other crap. I swear those trees are random sometimes.
Yeah. I did beat it. My boyfriend and I usually are rivals, but I can not allow Mario to have the record on Luigi's track!
-
I can not allow Mario to have the record on Luigi's track!
Ahh, another person that does the same thing I do (I'm sure others do it too, but this is the first I've heard): Making a character tops on his or her track in time trials.
Essentially, that means that Toad gets several tracks in my game, since he doesn't have a track of his own (though, I have never bothered to make Yoshi tops on Yoshi Falls or GCN Yoshi Circuit. I just don't care much for Yoshi..)
Daisy and Peach can share tracks, but I've made Daisy tops on the GBA Sky Garden, just because I think she would like the track. Don't ask me why I ever thought that, the truth is I don't remember why I thought it..
-

I think Sky Garden belongs to Luigi, because you can see a Luigi blimp somewhere there.
-
ALL your tracks are belong to Yoshi, man. Daisy deserves NOTHING for cheating.
-
I think Sky Garden belongs to Luigi, because you can see a Luigi blimp somewhere there.
Oh, yeah! I completely forgot about the blimp!
ALL your tracks are belong to Yoshi, man. Daisy deserves NOTHING for cheating.
Meh.. I never cared much about Yoshi, but how does Daisy cheat? Distracting us by yelling "Hi, I'm Daisy!" every five seconds?
-
That and she has one advantage no other character does--that eye.
-
Except her hair is covering it. She'd have to have a bald spot to gain any advantage from the eye.
-
You forget, she'd be able to see through that side of the 3-D model that makes her hair, if there's not another part to obscure what that eye can see. Even if that's not the case she's obviously an x-ray-enabled freak demon from space.
To be on topic, any moment involving Daisy.
-
Is Daisy really that annoying? Okay, I admit, she can get annoying. I played Wi-fi on MKDS a while ago, and on the character select, one person kept clicking on Daisy, so we'd all keep hearing that "YEEEHOOO!" or whatever she yells when you first click on her. Just be glad you weren't me when that happened, BP. :)
-
My most anoying moment was on mario circut. I had just crossed the bridge in 1st when suddenly Wario and Diddy Kong ram my car into a pirrahna plant (now in 3rd place) next i tried to reverse away and Toadette knoks me into the other plant with her super mushroom (now in 4th) and suddenly a few cars pass by (now in 6th) Waluigis bob-omb blows me back onto the bridge and Bowser + king boo knok me into the pirrahna plant. i hate those flowers.

I do that all the time! And Daisy isn't annoying at all in mkds, compared to her MKDD self.
-
I don't like Daisy.
I don't like the character selection for current games (not just MK series).... I mean come on... Blooper for MP8? King Boo downsizing 10000x to be fit for DD? Petey for TT and DD?!?!!?!? Gah, pick some better folks.... like... hmm.... not Petey or Blooper? Next they'll include Micro-Goombas, Bob-Ombs, and Pokeys as playable characters on MK Wii or the next Mario Party.
Usually, if I'm pwning MKDS, I'll get hit with 3 to 4 blue shells in a straight row right before the finish line, but I still win. It just takes forever to fly up in the air, regain your composure, and go.
MK64, I hated having triple shrooms and using them next to someone like Mario (I always am Luigi) or anyone for that matter... because he would keep up with me!!! and if using them inbetween the shroom ramps right before the big jump at Peach's Raceway, Mario is going faster when he hits the ramps!!!! It sucks. I also hate when Peach or Toad magically gets half a lap ahead and you can never catch up. One last thing, them catching up on a straight-away, getting about half the screen in front of you.... and then they suddenly top out and start slowing down but you can still never catch them unless you get a star and triple red shells.
-

I agree. The character selection in the spinoffs since after Mario Sunshine has been extremely lame. King Boo was ok, but using a generic Boo as playable in the MP series? C'mon! At least it wasn't Petey, who they seem to be shoving down our throats at every opprotunity. Blooper for MP8 was ok, because that's another spot that could have been Petey or Bowser Jr, but wasn't.
I want to see the Koopa Kids make a comeback, as well as some other classic enemies. I won't list them all here, but Boom-boom, the Shyguys, and Wart are among them (in no particular order).
-
I get annoyed on Mario Kart DD how the same computer always gets 2nd and there is not much competition. I know they do it to keep you from winning but I would like to see a race where all 8 players are competing for first and it is tough.
Getting hit by stuff is a part of the game, annoying to you while you play but that is part of the fun.
-
Double Dash was too easy also btw... took me less then 2 weeks (and only playing it maybe an hour a day, some days didn't even play it) to beat it on 150cc and Mirror Mode and unlock everything.
I picked it up and won the first 50cc race right away.
I like the characters for this game, but I would also like to see Bowser Kids from SMB3 in Mario Parties rather then those other Koopa Kids.
Also another annoying moment is when the computers on 150cc get nailed with a turtle shell and then 2 seconds later come back and pass you.
-
Advice for beating it:
For each cup there are certain must win levels and hard ones
Mushroom Cup
All are about easy but the baby course is the best, because you can usually not only get in first but also screw up the computer slotted to be in 2nd everytime. Keep nailing him with items and he will sometimes finish in 4th and 5th which pratically gives you the cup.
Peach's beach and Desert are easy as long as you don't get hit by obstacles.
Toughest Course: Mario course, although it is not that hard, just hardest of 3 since straight course. Overall easy cup to win.
Flower Cup
The two must wins are the bridge and daisy's cruiser. The computer will fumble around on these courses and give you opportunities to win. Luigi's course can be tough but you should at least get in 2nd.
Toughest Course: Waluigi by far, the rest are very manageable but this one can mess you up. Watch out for traps that will push you into the tar (bananas or fake blocks). Try to hit computers on the turns near the tar and it will mess them up more.
Flower Cup is not too hard, but could mess you up if you run into problems
Star Cup
Star Cup may actually be easier then Flower Cup. The city level and DK Jungle are the best for beating the computers. Computers don't handle the curves well in the city and don't go the short cut. In DK Jungle they stay on the path while you don't have to (just go straight down hill, it is better). DK Jungle is hard for beginners but once you learn to handle curves, it is best for beating computers.
The Ice level is also fairly good to beat computer on as well if you can dodge the shyguys and iceblocks.
Hardest Course: Yoshis Course, probably 2nd hardest in game. Yoshi's course looks easy and straight on at times but the curves can kill you and for some reason the computers are always really good on this course (a lot better on the others). Do not be suprised to find yourself in 3rd or 4th during most of the race. For some reason, if you can stay in the race the computers will sometimes fold at the end and allow you to pass them to finish in first or second.
Actually this cup is fairly easy to win, probably easier then the flower cup if you can take advantage of the shortcuts.
Special Cup
There are two levels that at first glance look really hard but once you play them a few times, you can rock the computers at them. Dino level is the best to beat computers on if you can avoid getting hit by the dinosaur and knocked off on that bridge towards the end. The computer takes the outside in the cave, so if you can avoid the gysers and take the inside, you can have a huge advantage. Wario course also has an advantage if you take the jump pad rather then the hole. L and R buttons are your friend here and vital to winning. This course is daunting at first and expect the computers to jump off to early lead but once you get to that pit and the rest of the way, the computers struggle with that area given you an opportunity.
Bowsers palace is not to hard as long as you can avoid turning to hard and bumping into walls and avoid falling in lava near the end. I suggest slowing down near the end.
Rainbow Road: Toughest level in the game, but Yoshis island is close. The computer NEVER FALLS OFF on the harder modes. This means you must almost be flawless, even at expense of speed. Key thing is to just stay in top 3 and your work from the other 3 courses should get you through. If is very possible to get in first if you use your items right or avoid falling.
Tough cup, but not too tough. Use opportunities wisely and you should beat this one.

I remember once in MK64 while vsing computers...out of nowhere, a FLYING red turtle shell comes and hits me off the cliff in Yoshi Valley. I was cracking up for at least 5 minutes.

"cracking up" in laughter or "cracking up" going insane?

When your in first place, someone shoots a blue shell, so you let someone pass you, hoping that it will hit the kart in first place, and it hits you, even though your in second place. Thats happened to me many times.
-
Actually, It'll hit whoever was in 1st place when it was fired.

Uhhh...That comic Isn't about Mario Kart...Even so it is FUNNY!!

In MK64 on Warios Stadium sometimes I would pin out just for using very ligt turns.

I hate it when I get bombarded with shells, banana peals, spiked shells, etc. constantly.

Oh, boy. I remember one time how I lost a match in Mario Kart DS because I missed doing a mini-turbo at the end. Also, when I was playing Mario Kart 64, I was going straight towards the finish line. Out of nowhere, a CPU Bowser came and got in front of me... it says he won by 2 milliseconds!
-
Unless I'm somehow forgetting what's at the end of time displays, Mario Kart doesn't count milliseconds. It counts hundredths of seconds.

Toad's voice in Mario Kart 64.
Most enjoyable moment in Mario Kart games: Hearing Toad scream.
Seriously, I hated how in Super Mario Kart the computer had access to weapons you didn't have (like Yoshi dropping eggs). In Mario Kart 64 I hated when someone used a lightning bolt right as I was about to cross the big jump in Wario Stadium. I never slowed down, I just accepted it and failed to leap over the chasm instead of turning back and getting enough room to fly over it when I returned to normal. Not sure if I would have saved time that way. And no matter how you sliced it, Rainbow Road for Super Mario Kart was annoying for not having any rails. Of course, I never played through the game normally so I wasn't prepared for skidding effortlessly through the track, but still.
