[QUOTE="WiiMan21"]I know what lag is, and what I experience online that day was not lag.bobbetybob

Because Nintendo has an online system for dealing with lag, if someone has lag then the game will predict what they are doing until the lag stops, that's why you'll see someone flies off the track and then they are somewhere else, the computer was predicting it for a few seconds, and then they picked the connection back up and they are in a different place.

Think about lag in WoW, when your buddy starts lagging out on his screen all goes as normal aside from chat, but on your screen he/she keeps walking forward (sometimes off edges) and then get teleported back once the lag stops. Only this time he/she comes back in a different position because on thier screen they only moved ten feet left normally. If that helps...
