I didn't know that you had a regular gameplay of this game. I just saw this on a list of videos on the right. You should make a playlist on "Random Videos" and some of the series you played to make it more organized. That's just me though. I see you're using Donkey Bitch-Azz (lol) and Bowser. I feel bad for the heavyweights in this game cuz they can only ride heavyweight cars and their off-road stats suck. I mostly pick Daisy (almost all the time) Yoshi, Luigi, (my two favorite male characters) Birdo, and sometimes Toad and Toadette.
Hmm... don't you think the drifting mechanic in this game is broken? After you get hit, you can use it to easily regain your top speed not only that, but you can also "snake." Packattack04082 did that in his Mario Kart DS playthrough and he was in a huge lead in that game. Good thing that they fixed it in Mario Kart Wii but that game item selection is unbalanced and so are the bikes. Idk why in MK8 they brought back Yoshi Circuit and Baby Park as DLC tracks. They already used it in Mario Kart DS. I wish they had Bowser's Castle and Rainbow Road in this game as DLC tracks for MK8. Not only that, Nintendo added SNES Rainbow Road as a DLC racetrack and that was already used as a retro racetrack in MK7.
That's one of the reasons why Mario Kart DS is my favorite. It added more depth into the powerslide and you have to rely on more than items to win. I wouldn't call the Mario Kart Double Dash powerslide broken when the enemies can still screw you over whenever they want with the blue shell. I stopped playing Mario Kart WIi because I didn't like dumped down the powerslide was. You just hold it. The people that couldn't compete with the snakers asked for it to be removed and I didn't like how they reused it in Mario Kart 8.
I played the shit outta MK DS when I was a kid but... I think the AI was too easy even if its on hard mode. Like MK Wii, the AI will spam Spiny Shells and its really annoying unless you ride a kart that has good acceleration like Yoshi's kart's then it wouldn't be a problem. If I were to face against a person like that who's really good at snaking, I don't think I would stand a chance and that would be unfair. As for the drifting in MK Wii I'll have to agree with you that it sucks I always picked automatic mode for it. At least they improved it in MK7 but you wouldn't like it either since its the same as 8. I personally think you should give MK8 another chance. I like how balanced the game is (except for battle mode the battles is downright bad since you battle in a racetrack course. They fixed it in MK8D). The more balanced the game is, the better. That's why games such as SSB4 is one of my favorite Smash Bros. games.
I Think you should have picked Paratroopa&King Boo in The DK Jumbo on 2player mode.The difference between Koopa&Paratroopa is Koopa only gets Triple Green Shells,but Paratroopa could get Triple Green/Red Shells.Also,King Boo can get ANY SPECIAL ITEM!!!
But you should at least pick the Boo Pipes.It's the only Heavy Kart that has the most acceleration.If not pick the golden Kart.It's like Bowser Jr's kart,but with less weight
isn't the best pairing actually King Boo and Bowser Jr. in the Boo Pipes? i use them all the time in competitive play and ALWAYS place high. you get the bonuses of a fast kart with EPIC acceleration, the Bowser Shell item AND the possibility of ANY SPECIAL IN THE GAME. stuck in eighth place, get a Chain Chomp! already in first, get a Giant Banana or a Bowser Shell! best team ever! i always play Mirror Mode and my All Cup Tour time is around 29 minutes.
