I captured this replay several years ago when me and a buddy were doing co-op 150cc races against the computer. The Nintendo "Rubber Band" AI was relentless but we made it. I like Double Dash much more than the new Mario Kart Wii.
MKWii removed the crazy-rubber band AI, even in 150cc; but the new items they added made it harder than MKDD! MKDD will always be better in many respects (like up to 4-player GP). Great replay!
Nah this is 100% real. It's just a replay we captured by running video out to a PC. We didn't get first place because we got nuked so many times near the very end of the race. We made 2nd place. The new Mario Kart on Wii is decent but Double Dash is just leaps and bounds better. It was bound to happen though. Nintendo can only make such a good game until the follow up doesn't live up to the previous games' standards.
I f**ing hate 150cc. It's too hard. In Mario Kart Wii, my buddy Aaron had to help me unlock the Daytripper and Honeycoupe, and he played through the races as Yoshi on the Sugarscoot.
