My first race kinda the same thing, cept it was on mario raceway, and I was leading THE ENTIRE TIME. Although it was close, as people were close behind, on the last turn I get Blue Shelled and go to last and got 11th place. The only time I've ever gotten last.ugh, fuck wifi. I was trying to get 9000 VR before I go on holiday and return to find Brawl waiting, and I was on 8900 when I get disconnected (either because my friends router messed up or my connection just sucks, i dont know) and I went down to 8550. I managed to get it back up to 8800, and then I'm playing Maple treeway (just 1st, in front of a really good guy with 9500) when a blue shell hits me on a narrow pathway. Lakitu puts me back on the track and some (BAN ME PLEASE) in the offroader knocks me off again into last place. I finished last and my now Im back to 8500.
FUCK ITEMS AND FUCK NINTENDO
I doubt I'll play the game again, or at least not for ages, because I'll be wrapped up in Brawl but also because this experience has just pissed me off so much. I gave myself a headache from shouting "oh my fucking god" so much...
