Red shell my ass, it's those motherfarking blue ones that you gotta watch out for.

Psh, "Suspect". What morons.

It's ALWAYS the red shell.

I used to work at a go cart track, and after hours we'd race, and would carry a car tire under one arm, and drop it to block the guy behind you. It was like real world mariocart.

Yeah I remember being slightly annoyed when whatever admin redlit this one.

Damn, comedy gold is hard to come by, don't kill it before it gets a chance.

Great headline.

bit slow this morning, clicked on comments, lightbulb went off. The 'voting tab' thing had me confused.

 
FreakinB 2008-02-10 10:29:41 AM  
Great headline.

A few of my friends and I got rooms on the same floor this year. I brought my old N64. And lately, even though one of my friends has a 360, all we play is Mario Kart 64 and Wayne Gretzky 3D Hockey. It gets intense. 10+ year old games FTW!

Whitest Kid i Know 2008-02-10 11:05:53 AM  
The red shell really was the best weapon imo (next to the star...obviously) -- Especially on tracks with cliffs -- Think I'm gonna go find the N64 I haven't played with in years...

/Funniest headline I've seen in a while

 
discovery10 2008-02-10 11:11:53 AM  
Mario Kart is a socialist game. Ever notice the shiattier you do, the better weapons you get? The best strategy is to sit back in 8th place at the beginning, get a few STARS, wait until the final lap, and then just drive over everyone.

 
Occam's Chainsaw [TotalFark] 2008-02-10 11:20:40 AM  
Spiky shells... spawn of the devil!!! Oh, and nothing's worse than firing any of the homing shells, taking position from the next guy up, and then getting nailed with your own damn shell.

 
Captain Darling 2008-02-10 11:28:43 AM  
Red shells are most effective, but there is nothing more satisfying than making a long deflection shot with a green one.

Hang back in second place and fire it next time. Instant first.

Yup. Stay in first and all you get is those lame farkin' banana peels. Although drifting across someones path with the banana peel train behind you is kinda fun..

At least it was on an indoor track. You fall off the sides on that Rainbow Road and you ain't NEVER coming back!

Sorry guys but Koopa Troopa is the only way to go.

This, or sniping them from far away.

Bowser for battle mode, Toad for circuit maps. There's nothing better than taking out one or more balloons by using the fast start and slamming into the person starting in front of you.
