>that's a nice item you got there
>I'm just gonna take it away from you

Its this your first mario kart, cupcake?

what if it is?

you know what would make our racing game more fun? an unavoidable attack that makes all but one player move slower.

>>714046683
Don't follow you there

>>714046748
that's neither the item OP nor I were referring to, now is it?

>>714047030
Guess not, but the item you're talking about only hit players in front of you, not all and not ones with stars

>>714046683
it doesn't really slow anyone down that much anymore, but it does make everyone lose their item.
Shocks in a 3 lap race are fine, that's something everyone's used to. But getting shocked at the end of one of those long fucking intermission tracks is making me punch my wall. People will hold onto it the entire time just to use it at the very end because that's the only time that matters.

item holding is really stupid. insanely annoying when people do it

>people actually defending lightning
Pure stockholm syndrome. It's a boring weapon that is not interesting or satisfying, and it could be replaced with any number of more interesting and creative ideas

Why am I seeing people cry about this new Mario Kart as if it's the only game that's luck/item based? That's literally the franchise. Same with Mario Party, just more extreme. There's no skill in any of these.

I think people are more complaining about the shitty new straight courses they added. Regular 3 lap races are fine.

All shitters who can't even 3star the mirror knockout tours

Because slowing down for even a little bit will automatically make you lose in every game mode.
