@Randolph: Uhg, stop whining about the Blue Shell. If you were to win every single damn race over and over and over again that would be boring. you don't need to win every race. MK is about having fun with people. Keep you MLG crap out of it.
No.
Mario Kart also has a single player component, and the Blue Shell does a lot to compromise it because the AI goes absolutely insane with it on anything over 50cc. I'm the absolute farthest from an "MLG" guy their is. But I do feel that the better players should be the one who wins. If someone gets their feelings hurt by that, well, thats just life. In life, their are winners and losers. Winners shouldn't be made to feel bad for being good at the game, and losers shouldn't be coddled.
If it's really all about just having fun with other people, then people wouldn't mind not winning, and wouldn't demand things like the blue shell. You don't see me demanding a blue shell for Killer Instinct so I can have a reason to stay in there until the end even if I'm losing, so that I might have a chance at winning despite being the obviously less skilled player. I stick through to the end because even if I am losing my tenth match in a row, and losing badly, I agreed to the match and I need to see it through.
The fact that the people who make these games ever felt the need to make the blue shell to keep people from dropping out halfway through the race in the first place shows quite clearly that those people do, in fact, care more about winning than "just having fun with people".
