So apparently I do better in large battle courses with lots of rooms. And it's okay when Soaprman is a dick in races, but not me in battles? ._.

So I just checked to see how many coins I currently have and noticed a title below my Mii: Banana Blitzer. Do these titles even mean anything? (Also, apparently whether it's Worldwide or Community, all your Wins and Losses are tracked together; I have over 1k wins and 400+ losses, and I haven't even been doing Worldwide that much.)

I got 2 stars from 38 points once. I think it has to do with how much time you spend in first on each of the races.
If you get knocked off, you might as well restart.
Why oh why did they nerf blue shell dodging?

I do...

First place is a very defensive position. Compared to the hell that goes on in the lower ranks, with star ramming and massive shell assaults, it can be very easy for the first place racer to gain 10 coins and make a runaway. They focus on tightening their line while all the other players are fighting to stay alive. The blue shell aims to reel them in a bit.

What they need to do is reduce red and blue shell appearances on lap3, and bring back blue shell dodging which requires supreme ninja skillz to accomplish.

The ghost and fake item boxes were cool.

I can understand why there are thunders even though i fucking hate them.
But blue shells are so useless. You get them from position 5 - 8 and they hit the first guy. Yeah so great, you just wasted an item.
Ok in Mario Kart 7 the blue shell also can hit people that are on the shells way not like the DS version but still, it is a stupid and useless item.

They removed the ghost for some reason but why not the blue shell?
Most annoying item since Mario Kart 64.

So it gives others a chance to catch up? I don't see why you'd think of them as useless.

The same is true of the lightning bolt.
If blue shells originated from the environment instead of other racers, there'd be much more rage.

maybe but atleast you profit by lightning bolts if you get them and you can protect yourself if you are lucky enough to have a star.

More like,
*player 5 gets lightning*
*player 4 is in a star and unaffected*
*player 4 proceeds to ram players 3, 2, and 1 out of existence*

And they made the bullet bill so slow and stupid in this game, its only purpose is to serve as a hazard to players in low positions.

I have mixed feelings on blue shells in 8th place. They do more damage from there since there are more people to hit, and it's always fun knowing that first place is almost certainly getting his shit ruined. On the other hand, it doesn't help move me into star ramming range.

And yeah, bullet bill is totally a booby prize in this game. So lame. Not even very fun to use.

Btw is there a border where you don't get any new kart parts with coins?

The border is 5,000 coins.
But it goes higher if you want to unlock gold glider for 10,000 coins and gold standard body for 20,000 coins. But there's another way to unlock them, check the link.

The Giant Blue Shell is a docile creature which prefers peacefully following along tracks more than physical confrontation. However, it must NEVER be provoked.

Also, if you mean me "riding" one, sure If you mean targeting me, poot you. I hope you keep falling into pits and keep going out-of-bounds >_>

So I'm just gonna go ahead and post this. Though it was unintentional, we've been having kartparties during weekends a majority of the time (which obviously makes more sense than having it during weekdays, but anyway), so... weekly weekend kartparties: yes or no? (This is just so I don't have to keep posting whenever we have one.)

Yes please. (Make sure you have them at times when us europeans can join )

My estimate was probably early by 2-3 hours. Whatever. I'll be around when I'm around...

Sorry, updated my post. Anyway, we'll see what the others say first.

EDIT: So I just finished a Worldwide race... MIRRORED. *did not know this was possible* Hao2trigger? (Is this also possible for Community?)

Stars don't really mean a thing, to be honest. It's just a sense of accomplishment. *lost against so many no-star racers on Worldwide before*
