while we're on the subject, the 150cc level is REALLY tough. For those who don't know, MK is broken up into "classes": 50cc, 100cc and 150cc. In previous games I think the only difference was the speed at which you go, but in this game it's so much harder. All the characters are way more aggressive and will do everything they can to put you in last place.
Imagine getting being in first place, the finish line in sight just ahead, then you get hit with a winged shell (goes after the person in first place), a few red shells (heat seeking), a POW block (makes you spin out), ink squirted in your face by a
blooper and then hit by lightning (makes you spin out, shrink and go slow as balls) all in the matter of a couple of seconds. You go from 1st to last in the blink of an eye, it's infuriating.
