Metroid sighting huh? Well, I did just pour this coffee...it will still be there tomorrow.
God drat...I used to set up a second player with no one playing to make it easier to beat 150cc.

Super Mario Kart might be the game I've played the most ever.

I think they said in the interview earlier that if you play two player it takes some of the obstacles from single player out of the game.

I figured having a second player in 8th at the start might gently caress up the computer's item drops or rubber banding

I used to pick a blank character based on how annoying they were to race against. Bowser with his oscillating fireball was a popular choice.

It probably negates the rubberbanding, yeah.

Oh, that makes sense. I was thinking that they were taking the rivals out so that fewer items would be thrown at them, but the wiki says I'm wrong.

Player 1 giving up saves them about 5 seconds. Fewer CPUS to gently caress with you. Fewer obstacles on the tracks. Didn't know that this was a thing

Edit: They just said that this is why they have 2 players.

Edit 2: I like these racing race games thing. The Diddy Kong Racing Race was pretty awesome.

...okay that was a very quick recovery. Like, that exact scenario must have happened at least once before. Dude fixed a potentially terrible thing in less than a second or so after the noise died down in the room.

I wonder if we could get an EEG hooked up to these guys as they play: it'd be amazing seeing the results.

I think it was meant to be "scourge" and either the donator or the announcer hosed up.

They're doing 2 players to cut down on stuff in the level and to skip the replay at the end.
