Mario Kart

i had a sleepover at my friend's house on june 27th. it was fun, but when i played mario kart for the first time....i had never played a racing quite as cool as this one (kirby air ride is still my only other racing game i like). my friend was yoshi and i was king boo. i kept falling off rainbow road. i turned pikmin for wii down because of it. if you think your bad at racing games then you've got to check this game out. we both agreed that mario cheated and was the best. i think toad is the worst. my friend and i played coconut mall over and over again to get good at it and keep winning. here is a list of some power ups and wyhat they do

blooper-block vision of players
mushroom-gives you a small speed boost
bullet bill-(the best of all) plays the course for you for a limited time and has incredible speed. (can only be obtained if your in 10th,11th,or 12th place)
banna peel-slows you down by slipping

some things to watch out for on certain courses... :o

birds from mario sunshine-pick you up and toss you in the air (peach beach)
wriggly-block your way (?)
miis driving red cars-block your way (coconut mall)
crabs-blocks (crab beach?)
bombs-they fall from the sky and explode shorty after hitting the ground (?)
cows-cross the road to block your way (moo moo ___)
