Date played: June 29th
Platform: Wii U
Session fun rating: 10/10
I played a few online matches with my girlfriend in split screen. My first couple of races were rough. I think I lost my focus a bit. In my opinion, Mario Kart has always been about racing well more than using items. While judicious use of items can make or break a race, there isn't a race to break unless you drive fucking fast, especially with 11 other humans on the track.
I focused on my driving line and getting to top speed with coins and immediately went back to top three positions. I kept up the pace, and while I couldn't manage a win, I performed pretty well overall. My girlfriend was hit or miss, doing decently on some tracks and pretty bad on others, but she seemed to enjoy her time. We unlocked a set of wheels that really fits my style. I'm still using DK, but have switched to the Mach 8 kart, one of the faster karts. I put my new button wheels on it to counter balance the negatives and am really liking this new setup.
