More great racing tonight... albeit we lost Dragon and Celer
.
Hypes grabbed second... using the patented "arrive late and race the computer" technique
.
Thanks for the karting, chaps!

I had a surprisingly good night
Won a race (I beat Matt!) almost won another, and came second in a few
I was having problems with my weapon selection though - most of the time I had to wait for it to cycle all the way through...it wasn't quickly selecting

Yeah, it was the same for me tonight. Hate it when it does that

What?!! Do you wait for the weapon to cycle through each time when you drive through a question mark block?!!
If you press the weapon button, it selects the weapon immediately...
Only tonight, for whatever reason, it wasn't working!

Honestly spamming the weapon button seems to make you get worse items anecdotally.

Funnily enough, I did get better items than usual last night by having to wait for it to cycle through...

I didn't know this. I always wait for it to cycle through and select
Thanks for the tip

I haven't played a lot of Mario Kart before the Wii U version (SNES for a few hours, N64 for an hour, DS not at all, Wii for an hour, 3DS not at all)... even though I have 'em

Grum and I have obviously been playing it pro class right from the off

Hypes (as he well knows) did not finish second. Only Staydead starts five races later than anyone and then claims it's legit. Hypes has more class than that.
