Also, they do what Brawl doesn't:

They let you do a 2-player WiFi. You and a friend in your living room can race online and the wait times seem to be very low.

Brawl had that as well. Except you had super long wait times.

Friends only though.

Wheel is fun, but my room has issues with the signal the Wiimote sends out so sometimes I end up driving off the course.

The AI has insane items. Items I have never seen, and I have had my fair share of time in last place.

I have to wonder what Nintendo was thinking making GP 1 Player only though. In any case, it is not fun to be in first place and then take 6 blue shells in a row, 2 lightning bolts, get ran over by a giant person, and then get smashed by a bullet bill all in sequence.

Then you grab the item box and get a Triple Green Shell. What the heck? DK makes up for it though with his amazing noises.

FC: 1075-1137-7512

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ranking is based on (unofficially, but generally proven through numerous tests):

Additions

Power Boost at start of race
How long are you in 1st place?
What is your time compared to the Preset time (the time Nintendo feels it should take to beat on average)?
Mini-Turbos
Tricks
Successful hits with Items

Subtractions

How long are you off track (dirt roads and such)?
Crashing into Walls
Crashing into Hazards
Falling off the Course

For * * *, you are only allowed to hit the wall twice, and you cannot fall off. Falling off is the equivalent of hitting a wall 3 times. Someone said you were forced to finish 1st all the time and thus have 60 points but it is not true. Finishing place only has a minor effect on it, it's the performance during the race itself that counts.

The subtractions take off more than all of the additions put together, so on average player is only allowed to crash into the wall twice. I suppose someone who knows the courses better (especially the ones you can "Snake" on) can take a few more hits.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I can probably do all the unlocking except for anything requiring to unlock a staff ghost.

I'm not used to the courses yet. That said... I'm pretty much done with unlocking (except for anything requiring a staff ghost)

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
