Title: Mario cart DS
Post by: Edgedamage on December 30, 2005, 07:50:47 pm

Got the game a few days ago what a blast. Also the wireless portion of my router went belly up after it dropped off it's perch. But nintendo sells a USB wireless connector and it works great.

Mario KART.  it's a blast, but i hate how you can't dodge blue shells, and it seems like reds are tough too.

Red shells generally have perfect AI. The only way to loose them is to cut off a sharp corner, fall off a ledge (can be done a lot in vs), or trail something behind you (which it won't always hit).

The game is very good. Way better than double dash IMHO. I ordered the nintendo USB connector last night; I'm looking forward to some ass-kicking (both receiving and distributing).

blue shells can be avoided by bombs thrnwn behind i hear, but other than that just wipe everyone else out with it as it leers in to get you... that atleast works everytime ^.<

I was on a jump last night and Mario shot a red shell at me while I was in the air. When I landed the red shell had already passed me, but it decided to turn around and hit me right before the finish line. I hate the shell AI.

That happened to me the other day too. It seems my theory was false and that there is no reliable way to dodge a red shell (other than a ghost).

Anyway, my USB connector should arrive in a few days, and then I will post my friend code.

Ugh I got burned that way also. Hey let's start creating friend codes so we could race each other.

I'll post mine a bit later... since I haven't gotten it yet. I got the USB connector, and it has been working great, but I've only been playing animal crossing.

Too bad I can't seem to get it to play. I'm getting audio, but no video. Interesting that it can be done.
