I have something to add to the Cheating AI in MK:DD!!. To make sure that the karts in the back ranks stay behind the entire race, whenever the back person of a kart gets a mushroom, the game makes them switch so he can't use it immediately.
Also, did anyone notice that win a kart wins a race, the game keeps the kart in their order (i.e. First being followed by Second, Second being followed by Third). So, if you got the Leader Shell hit you as soon as you cross the finish line, it is usual that the other karts go past. But those karts suddenly slow down and yours speeds up ahead of them to make sure that the order isn't disturbed.
Another thing I'd like to add- the two karts that are usually set to second and third place whilst you're in first, are programmed so the order stays the same. Say you got knocked back to 6th place somehow. Look at the map- those two that are now in First and Second seem to overlap each other- it makes sure that the person in second cannot beat the person in first, but still tries to be "competitive."
In conclusion, the order of the CPU karts is predetermined. The order never changes unless there is the human kart.
I'll give you a peach if you give me a daisy.
