i think cheater. peach always cheats, in Mario kart super circuit. she would turn as fast as possible. then, in Mario kart 64. in 50cc. she loses. then 100cc. she ends up in 2nd. then 150cc. well, she cheats. if you think about it. well, she's not worth it. even daisy is a cheater. when she wants to though. 




mario is one of the most famous characters in the mario franchise. as he was first in the old game, Super Mario brothers for the Nes(nintendo entainment system) that was made in 1981. after the game was Discontiuned, Mario kart was put into place. super Mario kart was the first mario kart game to be released. so in that edition. id say that he is an awesome character

I don't know on how this ended up being in the Xbox 360 sub-forum when this would be in the Nintendo 64 discussion.
Local Mods : Need a little fixing right here.

I don't really have seen Peach cheat, but they have been at some occasion on where the CPU always find a way to cheat a win, because they can be some points where it seems quite impossible for a human player to do. So, in a way, you can say that she does cheat.

IgorBird122 : A lot of the characters cheat in some kind of way. I mean, how does Bowser, the heaviest and crappiest overall character, right next to Wario, in Mario Kart 64, go for worse to first with a 40 second gap in 8th to 1st on rainbow road, and catch you in 90 seconds when you have a golden mushroom? Yeah, it's part of the coding. That is just how it works. 

As for the other question of if Mario is a good character or not, I think he is. I mean, he has lot of different series based around him, so I think everything is fine. But, I think they are hurting the character and the legend by throwing non Mario series related characters into Mario Kart 8. I just don't think that should be done. 

Well first off I want to point out that, despite how it seems, no game has ever cheated anyone. Sounds dumb of me to say that when it seems to happen all the time with glitches killing you or enemies being unfairly OP, but it's true.

You see, in order to cheat, one must break the rules. Computers however, operate entirely on strictly written rules put in by a programmer, they cannot decide to do something or not to do something, they can only follow instructions. As such, when a game "cheats" it's actually following the developers instruction, so if anything the programmers are cheating you. And that certainly is often the case. lol And glitches are errors that the developers failed to account for, so again the devs messed it up for you, not the game.


But I do see what you're getting at. And since it seems to me that the best opponent in each Mario Kart game differs depending on who you choose to play as, I can only assume the best racer is more of a matter of rivalry. Or perhaps it's entirely random. As for cheating, developers do tend to make the AI controlled characters play better than the player can control them. For evidence of this look no further than a fighting game where you need to press ten buttons to throw a fireball, whereas your AI controlled foe can throw them as often as they want, without their character looking like he's dancing (duck, step back, duck, duck, step forward, then he throws it) like your character does. Fair? Hardly. Cheating devs! xD
