Date played: July 5th
Platform: Wii U
Session fun rating: 9/10

This green shell missed me by an inch!
Another night, another successful run in split screen, online multiplayer with my girlfriend. I've stuck with Bowser and last night's setup and my girlfriend stuck to Toadette and her usual setup. I won a few races and mostly placed in the top three, though I had a few rough races. My girlfriend did well too, beating me once or twice. My ranking is up to 2300 or so. In one race, I managed to stay in first place for the entire three laps. I used tried and true tactics to do it. Go fast, keep the racing line and keep a defensive item in tow as often as possible.
