>>11856636here's my little tip
ever notice how the cpu lineup is always the same depending on the character you pick? if you mess up the cpu in second so they fall behind the rest of them will slow down a bit to let them catch up
so always try and target 2nd place with your items if you can, especially on the last lap
what makes this easier is the cpu tries to follow a set line and even though they can jump over stuff they usually only do it with stuff the other cpus drop, and if you leave a shell/peel right before a track jump they just can't avoid it at all
