[QUOTE="x_SuperMario_x"]1.) He's the best, why shouldn't people use him?2.) Wheelies don't qualify as unlimited turbo. They don't help that much, and if you get hit while doing a wheelie, you go for a spin. Bikes are just more noob-friendly. But experienced players can be great with both.
3.) Who are you to tell Nintendo what their characters stats should be?
4.) So you always beat the computer? That's weird, because all the time I hear about how hard the computer is in this game.

1. The problem isn't the fact that people are using him, the problem is the fact that people only use him to get world Records with that specific vehicle. I mean, The guy has no flaws.
2. I would like you to send me your best time on a ghost race of you driving a CAR, I bet I can beat it easily by doing wheelies on a Motorcycle. If the wheelie didn't help that much, then everybody holding world records wouldn't be using a Motocycle.
3. I'm not telling Nintendo what their Stats Should be, I'm telling people (Who don't know) what their stats used to be and how they've changed over the years from the 2d and 3d games. Go back and play Super Mario Kart on SNES, then play any 3d Mario Kart and tell me what stats they didn't mess up. Don't get me wrong, All Mariokarts are fun and I've been playing them since the 1st one (That I still have). For that matter, pretty much any arcade racing game, the vehicles that start out slow, end up fast but can't turn good and the vehicles that start out fast end up slow but turn alot better. Yet on MK64, why is it that Yoshi and the Princess Start out the fastest, end up the fastest, and turn the best, while Bowser and DK Start out Slow, End up Slow, and turn the worst? That shouldn't be. That makes it to where noone will play with them. And taking that into equation, that's the reason people use Funky Kong on the Flame Runner so much, because he is fast (Whilst he doesn't start off fast unless a turbo start is done which is understandable), he turns excellently on the Flame Runner, and the Wheelies make that combination basically uncatchable, oh yeah, and he's a heavy character so he could easily knock the opponents out the way.
4. I take it by this comment as saying you don't have or have never played this game on the Wii? It's a Reason why I have 3 Stars on Every Stage of Every Cup of Every CC. The Computer isn't necessarily hard in this game, they just get whatever item is needed to keep you from 1st and boy once you're in 1st, they get annoying because it will 95% be a Blue shell coming for you, followed by a red shell, and a POW Block, and most likely a Lightning Bolt. I don't get 1st every time but I do get it a Majority of the time. I also have over 9000 VR Points online.
To avoid Flame Wars, PM Me if you need to debate this further. This thread isn't meant for that.
1.) There has to be a fastest character. End of story. Not all the characters can have the same stats, same can be said for SSBB. It's not like using Funky Kong while racing with others gives you a huge advantage. I use Yoshi on the Mach Bike and my online rating is a little over 8500.
2.) Yes, motorcycles are better with time trials. Unfortunately, most people don't buy MK for time trials. Once again, using a bike does not give you an advantage while racing with others. If you're racing with good players, they'll bump you once you try to wheelie, then you'll slow down to an incredibly slow pace, and get knocked by a few oncoming racers. A good player can beat a bike with a kart, end of story.
3.) This isn't a sports game, I don't care if the attributes are 100% accurate. Same thing happened with Brawl, every little kid screamed because Yoshi wasn't the best. I don't mind if they switch up the attributes from the last game or so, because good players can always utilize the strengths of their favorite character.
4.) The computer isn't hard, my comment was being sarcastic. People complain about the items all the time in grand prix. I think the items are great. If you're really good, you'll get so far ahead items won't even matter on some courses. If you do fall behind because of those cute blue little shells, the items usually allow you to bounce back up into the lead.
5.) Who's turning this into a flame war? All I'm saying is, if I agreed with you we'd both be wrong. Oh, and if this wasn't what the thread was for, you should of PMed me.
Oh, and c'mereee.
I own the game, but shhhhhh.
Don't tell anybody.
