That's how all mariokart games have been. What's fun about being hopelessly mired in the back of the pack?

Not necessarily. The only real item you had more chances of getting in the back when playing on the SNES was Lightning, but now they have the blue shell to totally fuck everyone in front up. It honestly never made much sense to me, either. The only person that can get a blue shell is in last place, right? And the blue shell instantly goes to first? Well, ninety-nine times out of one hundred, the person in last can't possibly catch up to first after that anyway, and in the past those guys just fought each other for first anyway.

From what I've seen, they've taken the items from the DS version and brought them here, but it's even MORE chaotic than before. I like chaos, but from the sounds of it, you'll be busted up even more than ever before. I haven't played it yet, still want to get it, but from what I have seen, it's going to be more of a pain than a jolly good time.

I wouldn't mind these weapons if their effects were somehow avoidable through skillful playing. The blue shell is completely unavoidable, so you're basically being punished for racing well and being in first place.

And what cesarano is saying below is true too. The only player that typically has a chance to get the blue shell is the one all the way in the back. For that player, knocking out whomever is in first place doesn't really matter too much since there's still no real hope of catching up.

I will be far too grateful for any gift you give me than EVER to laugh, I swear. (You didn't have to get me anything at all, I'm just glad you're coming to the party and looking forward to seeing you. Seriously :) )

But in re: wrapping - I've been doing all of Scott's gift wrapping since about the flat second we met, so you should totally have outsourced that job :)

WAIT, WAIT, SUPER IMPORTANT - the party is Sunday not Saturday. Did you get a bad invitation? I did misprint some but I did think I got them all :(

Don't get me wrong.. When *I* receive one of those items, I have no complaints at all... it's only when they're used against me. :)
