Snagged an early copy of Mario Kart DS

[Teuthida]

Mario Kart games get me angrier than any other game I've ever played. I think it's that those who do you wrong are happy little people/animals riding happy little karts...and then they screw you...happily.

Have you tried another character besides Bowser? He's good for straight tracks (like that one where you almost won and then I got that star ) but otherwise... Was so set to use Dry Bones but then saw he had the lowest max speed in the game and wasn't so great for anything other than the SNES tracks...maybe once I unlock his other karts I'll like...probably not...

I love your signature, Teuthida.

<3333.

And yeah, until you can master drifting/sparking a lot, you should stay away from heavy characters. However, I have mastered donkey kong. You know in Waluigi's Pinball, the enclosed area before the line? I sparkboost at least 5 times. I jumped 3 positions once due to that one area.

It seems to me all karts go the same top speed. To make it fair. It's always been that way. If you're more experienced, you'll pick the heavier karts - the ones who go much faster when boosting. Otherwise, when you hit offroad/hit by an item, you're incredibly slow to start and can't make up the loss.

I take it back. I love Dry Bones. He let me beat the Nitro 150 with A's.

Yeah, I'm using Dry Bones to beat the higher stuff too. I can't wait to unlock more karts.

Also, how the hell do you do the pre-race boost? Does ANYONE know?

[Teuthida]

It's weird. You press and hold the gas right as 2 disappears. Able to do it almost everytime now.

Unlocked all the karts. Just gotta get R.O.B. now.

[Dyne]

Ok, I'll try that.

It'll give me a hell of an edge I've been needing.

Replaced the GT emblem with Squishy the squid.
