How did you get your *** rankings? Was it pure luck?
But what about when you are hit by item after item (Blue Shell, POW, Red Shell, Blooper, Green Shell, Lightning..) Does the game take into account that you have no control over when the CP uses their items, I wonder?
I have a triple star rank in every cup on every CC. Here's some advice to achieving those 3 sparkling stars:-Try to stay on track as much as possible-Stay in First Place around 90% of the time-Finish in First Place in every race-Try not to hit into obstacles-Avoid falling off the course or into lava-Don't worry too much about items; they won't affect your ranking unless they get you into a lower place at the end of the race or if you get hit by too many (roughly around 30)-If you're in First Place, get an item such as a Turtle Shell (Red or Green) or Banana Peel and hold it behind you at all times. This prevents CPU's from hitting you with Red Turtle Shells-If you're drifting sharply with a Turtle Shell or Banana Peel behind you and a CPU's Red Turtle Shell is heading for you, let go of that drift and straighten up. This prevents the Red Turtle Shell from hitting you from your side-Last but not least, complete each race as fast as you can!I hope that helps! If you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask.
I can't prove it because I've never done it but I've heard that if you use a mushroom right before the blue shell hits you you'll speed up and it'll miss you.
The hardest part is holding on to it, because usually you get Lightning'd and lose it.
