I've heard all this many many times before, it's getting old man. Set up your defense as best as you can and deal with it. There will be unavoidable hits from time to time but it's not that bad, seriously

I expect to get rocked by turtle shells and whatnot...especially when in 1st place. That's part of the fun of the game is that no one is guaranteed to win if they get a good start and that allows others a chance for the big upset victory.

The thing I didn't really care for in the new game is they didn't give us enough new tracks. They gave us some and let us play the old ones--which was cool, but I would have liked to have seen at least a few more new tracks.

its not a "luck" system, in the game the worst positions get better items, u need learn to play with the worst items too ^^, with a simple banana u can defend yourself!

Just be determined and try again. If you're good enough at at the actual racing (getting drift boosts and wheelieing where possible) and always have a banana or shell behind you, you can win every race.

I found that the key is to get such a big lead that the red shells never catch up! The one's that I hate are the blue shells! But that is part of the fun to me.

well maybe its the extra 4 racers in the game that makes you think that the game has a luck factor. i for one don't think it exist. its just that players in front get so so items and the players near last get better items. so just because you go hit by a couple of blue shells doesn't mean the game is luck based.

The object is to carry the ball across the goaline.

That particular player thought he was across the line, so he threw the ball away.

Unfortunately for him, he wasn't across the line, so he threw the ball away, instead of scoring.

It's a very stupid mistake, which is why it's funny to watch.

Oh right. Well I get the basic rules of American Football, but it just looked suspicously like he'd thrown away a touch down on purpose.

Actually the thing that bugs me most about this game is that the turn boost ability around corners isn't executed the same way as in the DS game - I really liked the repeated clicks as it gave more control, and the buffer boost you get from riding opponents seems to take much longer to kick-in in this game, and almost isn't worth the effort since by the time it's almost ready the person ahead of you will move.
