Yes, the Blue Shell - damn that Blue Shell (and the lightning).

When you get miles in front, get a few corners from the finish and you get two or three blue shells in a row - that's * annoying.

Yesterday, I was doing Mario circuit (Mirror Mode) - on the last straight of the last lap - I was dragging a banana (not a euphemism) and a red shell was homing in on me. "Not a problem", I though, then I was lightninged, I lost my banana (again, not a euphemism) and the red shell hit me. Still in first place (I had had quite a lead) a Blue Shell comes flying at me - I race towards the finish line in my now tiny kart and, of course, the Blue Shell hits me and throws me into the air. Half a dozen people then take over me and I come seventh. Bloody weapons!

Haha, yeah, the bananas can be useful in that respect. As a weapon, they're almost useless.

The last few posts of this thread have been a lot better than anything written by Terry Pratchett.

I'm officially an old man, my six year old kicks my arse at Mario Kart, his reactions are just so much faster! Think mine have been stunted by years of white wine abuse

I think you should all get an X box and play me on fifa09

[MK Chris]

I think you should get your Wii online and race me at Mario Kart.

[catherine]

I haven't got Mario Kart I just have that Mario Monopoly type of thing.

Mario Party? That game is weird. I played it with my cousin and despite kicking his ass in every minigame, he won because he got lucky with the board.
