Onother thing I do have a little complaint about that I did not add is on Wi-Fi. HACKING ISSUES. they can be so annoying. The next time they make a great game like this, don't make it so that you can HACK. This very reason is why not many people play online anymore. I ENCURAGE those who do hack to STOP PLEASE!! THANK YOU.

This is the AI that has governed the Mario Kart series since the dawn of time...

You could aim those kinds of criticisms at pretty much every Mario Kart game ever made.
Things like one CPU character having a strong tendency to win on a specific circuit have been in pretty much every Mario Kart. It's almost so synonymous with the series that Nintendo probably programs that sort of AI in on purpose. In single-player, the challenge has always been more about beating the circuit rather than racing against realistic AI anyway.
The stuff with power-ups has always been a factor too. Obviously there's always been a stronger chance of getting good power-ups when you're at the front of the pack rather than the back. In Mario Kart 64, you basically only got mushrooms and banana skins when you were at the front. Likewise, in the original SNES game the AI didn't ever appear to get the feather power-up.
It's just the way it goes with Mario Kart. You end up loving it for the inconsistencies, as the developers have almost certainly added them in on purpose (often just to frustrate gamers I expect).

Good game. I do want to point out a few things I don't like.
1. The blue shell. It always comes when You are in first not the CPU.
2. Why does only 1 CPU get first no matter what while the rest of them don't Even try to catch up?.
3. I did notice none of the CPUs get a 3 red Shell item and you do. 4/5 stars for me. Good game.
