You know what's annoying???

Mario Kart... yea yea i know i know, '' been there done that, EVERYONE thinks this ''. but in all honesty, this is the ONLY game, in 15 years of gaming, that got my blood boiling to the point of returning it. I especially love how it seems like your items depend on what track you're on. Take star road for example ( i actually made it to 150cc.... i know, big accomplishment... [/sarcasm] ) i start out with the boost, everythings going alright, first jump, i get knocked off the course, last place. im thinking to myself, ''alright, i can make my way back up to first, lets just get some items'' after quite a bit of nothing ( they always seem to get me JUST far back enough to leave me no item boxes unless i actually stop and wait for it ) i finally get an item box, and what else should i get but a golden mushroom. im thinking, ''greeeeeaaat... i can fall off the course some more...'' so i use it very carefully, make my way to like 9th or something, and by the start of the second lap im in last again. getting bumped off of the map is the most frustrating feeling on earth. '' NO WAY, getting hit with a bunch of crap and not getting first is the most frustrating TC!!!'' i beg to differ good sir or madam... being completely shut out in a race and not even being able to pull off tenth because everyone else hogs the thin strip they call rainbow road, and its not like you can make up the points... i got at least a star ranking in every cup before this one, and got no worse than third in the three races before this one, its bogus... The game and i have ''broken up'' i traded it and got my resi fix (( REmake and RE: 0, plus geist... which isnt half bad )) and i must say i much happier peeing myself because im a scaredy cat... You know what's annoying???
Topics that just repeat what other topics have already?You know what's annoying???
Blue shells are more annoying, and I love the game never will trade it.

They tried to make the game better with items but the items killed it waste of 50 bucks
there are 31 other course you know :D



It takes practice and more practice to master the game.

( i loved mission mode ALOT, the entire game was just better, MKWII feels... unfinished to me)
Wow, I am the complete opposite of you. First, when I rented it, I was playing with just the Wiimote, and I though, meh. Then I switched over to the classic controller, and boy, I think it's loads better.As for your Rainbow Road problems, I always find myself near the back, fall off a couple of times, but its not that hard to get back to the top. Thats what I like about Mario Kart, if your in last, you'll get some good items to bump you back up. I'm not that great at the game, but I always make it back when I've been down near last.You just have to be patient, and once you get the feel of it, boy is it fun!P.S. Whenever I'm down I love getting the golden mushroom! Just drift around the corners on RR while going crazy on the boost button. Plus doing tricks and wheelies on bikes helps a lot, too.

I am actually really good at rainbow road, I mastered this level so much that when I faced them in 150cc I killed the computers I never fell of once. Even when I got hit by blue shells I was to far ahead for the computers to catch up.
Why not use a heavy-type?Also trading a racing game because one track is too hard is... somebody complete the sentence.

i agree for the most part with tc. bottom line is: some courses are poorly designed, rainbow road and wario's gold mine for example, and the items are way too unbalanced for its own good. Those are rather major flaws, and yet Mario Kart Wii is still an overall great game. There are a lot of well designed tracks, numerous bikes and karts and characters to choose from, and with a rather organized online system.
