Okay, tomorrow I'm gonna bring my DS to school in the morning to see if I can manage to get it online. If not... back to the ol' drawing board.

My emblem is Mr. Face from Nintendorks.

I HATE THESE RED SHELLS!

I carry a shell, banana, fake box behind me and then red shell zips around to my side and hits me. So I try planting whatever I'm carrying right before it hits me and again it circles around and hits me. Plus when I have the 3 circling shells I still get hit sometimes by a red shell without one of the 3 doing anything. It wasn't like this in any of the other games... *sigh*

I'm scarred from ever playing online again. It's just...it makes no sense.

Have you tried veering close to a wall?

I remember in previous games you could hop and if you got the timing corect sometimes it would miss.

If you're playing dry bones the amount of down time shouldn't be that long.

Also, I unlocked the 7 karts. I'm going to do ROB before I go to bed.

God I can't wait to get online.

I tried using Dry Bones online. There goes my streak. Got my ass kicked by a gang of yoshis...with their evil evil red shells.

After the thrashing you gave me followed by some worldwide matches, I don't think I'll ever find the courage to jump back in online races. Seriously guys, if you're not damn good, online matches will strip your ego bare. It was like dropping my pants in a narrow alley.

I'm going to unlock everything before I jump back online.

The record of 17-10 with the losses ever increasing was killing me. I just erased all my data. Starting fresh...gonna unlock every last thing before going online again. I feel better now.
