Mario Kart Wii (now with spoilers! Even in a racing game...)

[Drago]

Though I had initially convinced myself I would stick with Karts, I think I'm rapidly becoming a bike man. I can't stand waiting for the gimped powerslide (not a whole lot of turns wide enough for you to get the full boost) and just sweeping about with those tight turns and popping a wheelie on the straights is satisfying as all high hell. Koopa Troopa + Bullet Bike = where it's at.

We seriously need more than 5(?) TPMers playing this game. I want full-scale tourneys, people! Start hassling others.

Gee, thanks for wrecking the ending for me, Heald. ;-P

Seriously...

Yeah, I'm likin' bikes more, too!

Lastly, am I the only one who thinks at least a couple of stages are copies of other stages? (Spoiler:) DK Summit and DK Mountain from the GameCube are virtually identical save for the snow. There was another pair that seemed pretty lame in the originality department, but I forget offhand.

Now that you mention it...they're really not that identical, but I guess they do have some stuff in common!

(Spoiler:) Coconut Mall is a [censored]-up place. Where else in a video game can you be distracted by modeling posters depicting Beavis and Butthead long enough to crash into Darth Vader while he's trying to park his yellow sports car?

LOL

Anyhow, yeah, 150cc = PAIN IN THE BUTT. Fast speeds + cheap A.I. = CRY.

HOWEVER, I've been having better luck since I started using my trusty Wavebird instead of the Wii Wheel (I tended to oversteer with the latter control type). Thank goodness this game and "Brawl" are backwards-compatible with Gamecube controllers! ^_^

Oh, and since I've figured them out, I've been doing tricks more, too!
