Star rankings in Mario Kart DS, A topic for those who want star ranks

Yeah but they don't hit.

Bullet Bills are no problem at all, and I always drop into second at just the right time for Blue Shells to not hit me. :3

Bloopers aren't a problem either

Bullet Bills aren't a problem, no, and neither are bloopers. Just blue shells every five seconds and three red shells in a row every second after the blue shells.

They're just being rediculous with the "You must suck because you have to snake" Comment.

The Star rank seems to be largely based on time, so I don't know why doing anything that helps reduce your time makes you suck o.o



And Draco.. they changed the blue shells, so that if the blue shell is fired while you're in first place, and you drop into like 3rd or something, the shell'll still come after you =0.

Indeed. I snaked in the 50cc races, even though it's obviously pointless, because the AI sucks ass. I only did it because I wanted a good time, because I felt like it.

That's not what I meant

I always drop into second on purpose whenever I am doing well

Because the moment I do, someone launches a blue shell

So in other words you're psychic and use your powers for evil.

Same thing with my game, almost every race, I get bombed with blue shells at least 2-3 times and countless times with the red shells, this is why I'm having trouble getting a 3-star rank :\

It was super difficult just getting a one-star rank. I always get hit with some ridiculous combo like blue shell followed by red shell followed by lightning (timed to send me off an edge if one's nearby)

But if I'm not way ahead when a blue shell's coming, I slow down and take 2nd place down with me.

So then if I'm able to do that, I've covered that problem.


Now I still have the problem of the 3rd place person constantly getting a ring of red shells.

In second and first place you always get banana peels, always.

They stop red shells.

Hey, here's some friendly advice:
DON'T SNAKE. IT'S BAD FOR YOUR LEFT THUMB AND RIGHT INDEX FINGER. IT WILL MAKE YOU A CHEATER. THE WORST PART IS THAT IF YOU SNAKE TOO MUCH YOUR R BUTTON WILL DIE.

Well...Take it and you'll be fine.

Since when?

totally

All it does to me is make my thumb tired, the part about making you a cheater is complete bull****

Exercise ain't neva a good thang.

I know. It doesn't make you a cheater. It's just the angst of my R button being dead, I guess.

Same here.

Wellp, im almost done with getting all 3-star rankings in grand prix mode.

First, nobody snakes with two hands. That's ****ing ridiculous. If you snake like that, you're an idiot.

Secondly, it's not cheating, you *****.* If you can't take the heat, don't play online -- stop *****ing about powerslides. "O NOES HE CANS POWERSLID ON TEH STRATWAYZ"!!! Tough ****.

Also, if you're pressing the R button hard enough to damage it, you suck.

*starts with a p

Plus the fact that there are so few maps that you can snake productively on anyway until you get to rediculous control of Mario Kart.
