Mine occurred today. In one race, when i was first, I got hit by a blue shell, then a red shell, then lightening, and then the pow block in a span of 8 seconds:o.

There was also the time when i was hit by 4 blue shells in one race.

Well, I've had quite a few bad experinces with MKWii, but my worst had to be when I was playing online, and someone had like five cheats on at once. Everyone except the cheater could'nt move, since there was an infinite stream of Blue Shells and Red Shells, plus my Wiimote was dying, so I just hit the power switch, and reset the game. I never have run into another cheater, though, so thankfully it was a one-time thing.

Oh, I'll never forget it. I was in first on the third lap and the finish line was in sight and then I got hit by a blue shell, followed by a bullet bill and then a star. I ended in 12th, by far the worst thing that has ever happened to me in Mario Kart.

Jaysonguy

No, that doesn't suck.

Wanna know what sucks? How about this?

I wasracing online against 11 other people.I was not usually in first place but second. Someone behindme gets the blue shell and launches it. As it is flying in the air and is just behind the first place guy, I pass him and get passed almost right after, and in that small time frame that I was in first place the blue shell locks on to me. So here I am in second place getting hit with the blue shell as the first place guy extends the distance between him and me. And having it happen all the time during the race.

THIS IS WHY THE BLUE SHELL NEEDS TO BE BANNED!

I was on Rainbow Road (aka: Evil Road) and I kept falling off. Went from first place to last place. Still managed to get enough points for second place overall though.

He's just posting negatively about the Wii on the Wii boards in a pointless attempt at inciting a reaction. Just ignore it. Hopefully he'll eventually realize that it's just bad form.

There was a cheather that was indentified as a Disco Mii that used infinite stars every time someone got in front of him. He got me and everyone on N64 Bowser's Castle, and I thought I finished the race better than him, but the game said he won.

I have the game and I really regret it. Long gone are the days of Mario Kart 64 when the blue shell took out everyone in front of you and only appeared once in a blue moon. Gone are the days of items of all caliber being given to players regardless of current standing. No now sucking at the game is rewarded with stupidly overpowered and frustrating weapons that rear their ugly heads without fail several times a match. Now the person in first place for the entire match is almost guaranteed not to win as a blue shell followed by countless other weapons in rapid succession will undoubtedly rob him of his rightful victory. The game is trash.

All I see there is: ":cry::cry::cry:I dont get my instagib win all the time:cry::cry::cry:"

But I guess your the type who likes winning in madden 100-7 as opposed to playing contested games as well.. competition too much for you? Everyone else on the track has to deal with the weapons, what makes you such a sensitive case?

That's the problem. There is no real competition. When the better players, as in the ones who could actually steer, are given such a crippling handicap as never getting the best items but always being subject to being massacred by them at the last minute it ruins the game. There is no competition in having some idiot fall off the course six times, go into last place, and then be given a self steering bullet bill that plops him right at the finish line in first place leaving every other better driver crushed on the sidelines.

That is not skill that is stupid. The game makes losing intentionally by a certain amount the best strategy and I want no part in a game that encourages losing.

You are deluding yourself if you think that Mario Kart Wii doesn't require skill. If what you claim were true, then everyone would have about the same VR. People don't, however, and the highest-rated players consistently beat the lower-rated players. That can only mean one thing: they have skill.

I have seen players on-line with 8000 to 9999 points deal with powerful weapons like spiny shells and see them lose their leads. Also this is Mario Kart, not a real kart racing game. It is not supposed to be taken seriously and the Mario universe is one that is not known to play fair with its nice share of villains and scoundrels. Even with the item imbalance issues in the game, there are at least many funny moments. My personal worst Mario Kart Wii experience is being hit by a spiny shell just a foot from the finish line and lose a race. I was not happy for that as I was robbed from victory. Fortunately, it is quite rare to see this happen even though I have my fair share of being hit by two or three spiny shells in the final lap in a race.

Local multiplayer, you can adjust items so that you don't have this issue.

Online - much playing will make it evident that there are MANY people with high VR rankings [like mentioned above by another poster] who consistently win.

With much of a lead, a blue shell is no issue. Good players can keep their VR scores in the 8000's or higher, even with good competition. You only drop a few spots if you're very good, I know my VR rating has been 7000+ for well over 6 months without fail. [to add: I'm pretty good, but know a few people who regularly blow me out of the water, there's better players than I out there most assuredly]

If things were totally randomized due to the items and skill wasn't important, there's no way this would be the case.

Similarly, when I play at my 10 + 12 year old nephews place, with blue shells and all ... I win every time. They're not bad, but I've got a couple decades of video game experience and more MarioKart experience ... and it becomes obvious quick.

Online, perhaps you drop in standings every now and then, heck even lose once in a blue moon ... but it is an arcade racer, and 9 times out of 10 the best players finish first or second. Frankly, it wouldn't be half as fun [IMO] if you won 100% of the time. It's an arcade racer, after all.

And if you want to play an old version, pretty sure you can get them with VC. I for one am happy with the changes. Is it perfect? I dunno about that, but I don't know of any perfect game.

So true thats why it sucks and no bomb battles. And even in the balloon battles you can't get eliminated.

After so many tries in Rainbow Road I finally came up to 1st place. As I was near the finish line I was hit by a blue shell, struck by lightning and accidentally fell off the road. I finished 10th. :cry:

I never played on Rainbow road again.
