Considering how fast my heart was racing as I tried to complete a perfect score on 150cc Special Cup in #MarioKart Double Dash with DK and Diddy in their cart I should probably not even try for the 160 perfect score on 150cc All Cup Tour with Wario and Waluigi.
The thing is, Double Dash is without a doubt one of the more unfair Mario Karts, I believe.
On one run of Dino Park, 5 blue shells were pulled. And I got hit by 4 of them. It's not a long track! Where did all those blue shells come from?!
Don't even get me started on Rainbow Road. It was already a tense enough time trying to get to that track, and then my nerves would break, and I would do something stupid or get unlucky.
I also noticed when I am in 3rd, 2nd place CPU likes to back throw red shells towards me, and not at the guys in 1st place.
I feel there is a level of 'git gud' here, but do I have the patience for it?
