I had no idea what was going off, I thought we just had to race round collecting coins. It was only near the end of the first battle when someone drove into me nicking my coins did it click.

I left after the first bomb battle, wasn't for me so I went back to watching football.

So what I learned about coin runners is that there is a finite number of coins that will appear. After that the only way to get them is to steal off others.

Heads up, Glen-i can’t make it this week, so @BowserBasher will have to host tonight.

N-Europe Get Together! 21/03/2024)

Better late than never

 

OK I had to go into MKTV to get this one, it's not as great as if it would have been recorded in the race but @Dcubed I don't think recorded it.

 

[Glen-i]

Player's Choice tonight at 8pm.

How was there 2 lightning so close to each other in that first race?

A computer passed through an item box right after the lightning hit, and got really lucky.

Better then getting two lightnings far apart, mind. Less devastating.

[Ike]

Yeah, but I thought the rule was you couldn’t get another one for 30 seconds, did the first cpu player hold onto it that long?

No, you misremember. You can't get Lightning (Or a Bullet Bill) in the first 30 seconds of a race. After that, there's no limit.

EDIT: Got gazumped more times then I'd like this week.

Some great races, shame about the disconnect as that was shaping up to be a very close finish. Anyway...

So as I say in the Tweet, I get the YAY as if I hit someone but can't believe that it was that throw. @Glen-i did say he got hit over VC but thought it was from in front that he ran over it. So I had to go into MKTV, set it to me, hits and 60 seconds. And low and behold this beauty...

Greatest Throw Ever.

[Glen-i]

OK, yeah, that might be the greatest Banana throw ever!

The best thing is, it landed right behind a coin, so I literally couldn't see it until it was too late.

[S.C.G]

Thanks for the games.

[Glen-i]

Theme night this week.

"I'll do an underwater theme!" I said, "I'd be positively spoilt for choice!" I said. There's only 10 blooming tracks where you have to go underwater!

[BowserBasher]

You'd think @Ike had it in for me after that first replay.

This is where they went. Cheeky bugger managed to hide behind an ink splat!

He's just paying you back for all the times you used Greninja!

Just a heads-up... I highlight the entire stream, and then delete the original, usually within minutes of finishing the stream, but the video which is up there now should be there to stay.

Ah, thanks, updated the link now.

No worries, I mainly do that because Twitch deletes standard streams after two weeks, but if you highlight a whole stream, instead of just part of it, you can preserve the entire stream... indefinitely, it would seem.

So all of the finish-line gazumps, suddenly bananas, well-placed (or randomly thrown) bob-ombs and stealth item steals should be there for your viewing entertainment for a very long time.

It was a purely defensive shell.

I got Mario Kart lag'd as the shells collided on my screen but I still got hit.
