[Results] Mario Kart Wii GP! The Autumn Cup! « Thread Started on Oct 19, 2009, 3:32pm »
Hello there and welcome.
I, Wallace, am planning on hosting my first ever Mario Kart Wii Grand Prix! I am really excited about this and hope many of you plan to attend.
Now to start off, the will be no restrictions on character or vehicle use to keep things simple. So you may use any character and vehicle you desire. Vehicle selection is determined by the character's weight class, so there obviously isn't free range of the vehicles.
Now on to the dates and times. The Autumn Cup will be hosted on Saturday at 4 P.M.Eastern Time. If you need me to convert the time for you, so you know what time it'll be where you live, I'd gladly do so. Just leave me a message here, or P.M.
Friend codes are a must if you would like to participate, since I won't be able to find anyone without them and vice versa. So please, either P.M. me, or post your Mario Kart Wii Friend code. I haven't given out my Mario Kart Wii Friend code to anyone yet, it is...
3481-1432-9113
It is also in my signature, on my Mario Kart Licence if you prefer to look at that. =)
The theme for this cup is Autumn. So picked out a few courses that I feel have some relation with Fall. Some maybe more obvious than other, haha. The tracks will be split up into three sections
3rd section: GCN Mario Circuit Mario Circuit DS Delfino Square Maple Treeway
They are split up into sections to allow for bathroom breaks, or just breaks in general. Between sections, there will be an allotted 10 minute break. Then it is back for more racing! You may change your character and vehicle if desired during the break. It shouldn't take me 10 minutes to do, but the break will give me a chance to tally up all the points everyone has earned and update the point chart. Also, if everyone checks in with me, saying they are ready for the next section, before the 10 minute break is up, then we will move on to the next section.
In terms of dropping out of any of the races, you may do so without penalty to your current score. Though you will not be able regain entrance to that particular section and you will not be able to increase your score after that as you aren't racing.
I will be keeping tally of points earned from each race, which will be totaled up at the end. The more points the better! (Chart soon to come.)
Well, I think I covered most everything. If you find something that you should should be added, or if there was something important I missed, feel free to message me. Any help is appreciated deeply.
1st section: In this first section, DarkZero stole the gold and left Ollie and me in the dust. Both Ollie and I tried out best to out do each other, but in the end, we tied for second place in the end.
Moo Moo Meadows- I had a really awesome start on this track and then things went down hill after that. Suddenly, I was slipping and flipping over banana peels, turtle shells, POWs and cows. DarkZero was so far ahead, that there was no way to catch up and I lost a lot of ground on Ollie too. I did my best to try and catch up, but I came in last at the end.
Points- Wallace: 2 Ollie: 8 DarkZero: 15
N64 DK's Jungle Parkway- Another awesome start, I held a great lead and I was so thrilled that my excitement was probably was did me in. Haha, I ran into walls and off the track a few times. It was evil of whoever to put two fake items boxes on the bridge that we crossed. I was so sure I was going to take second, but Ollie snatched that away from me when he used the shortcut at the end.
Points- Wallace: 2 Ollie: 8 DarkZero: 15
Mushroom Gorge- At this point you will probably see a trend. I felt I had an awesome start once again, but soon to my dismay, I was left in the dust. Fortunately, for me (sorry Ollie), Ollie had some trouble with the gaps over the Mushrooms jumps and fell off the track losing ground on me, so I was finally able to pick up a place besides last.
Points- Wallace: 8 Ollie: 2 DarkZero: 15
Wario Mines- I was really confounded with how many banana peels and fake item boxes were on the ground. I had no clue where they all came from, certainly not from me because all I was getting were red shells and mushrooms. Ollie lost a lot of ground on me... and I lost a lot of ground on DarkZero (big surprise xD).
Points- Wallace: 8 Ollie: 2 DarkZero: 15 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So the first section ends with DarkZero taking the gold while Ollie and I follow up, both tied in second. Overall, I'd say this was great beginning because the competition was quite fierce.
Total from Section 1- Wallace: 20 points (Tied for 2nd place) Ollie: 20 points (Tied for 2nd place) DarkZero: 60 points (1st place) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2nd section: Overall, I did so much better on this section than I did with the first section. Ollie and I still struggled with DarkZero though. D;
N64 Mario Raceway- I totally started out with some pretty optimistic feelings about this race, I had gotten a good start and had a pretty decent lead... then DarkZero appears out of nowhere and I get hit with a blue shell and a POW, probably from Ollie, and DarkZero took the lead. I would have actually been fine with the Blue shell, but the POW activated at the worst possible time for me. I was on a tight u-turn and I was flung upon the grass. As soon as I manage to get myself off the grass and started to regain momentum to keep my, currently closing, lead, I get struck with a blue shell and am passed. I still had some good ground on the last lap, but Ollie made a tremendous catch up with that horrible Lightning cloud item. In the end, he wasn't able to catch me and was shrunken.
Points- Wallace: 8 Ollie: 2 DarkZero: 15
Coconut Mall- Coconut Mall was a fun little race. Ollie and I ended up going back and fourth towards the end of the last lap, but he bested me when I was shocked by that horrible Lightning cloud I had picked up earlier.
Points- Wallace: 2 Ollie: 8 DarkZero: 15
Daisy Circuit- I started out quite well and took advantage of the short cut at the beginning several times. I held quite a good lead at the beginning and managed to stay strong even when I was passed. Both Ollie and DarkZero passed me on the second lap, but I wasn't about to be thrown around so quickly. I managed to obtain a MEGA MUSHROOM and ran over Ollie, flattening him pretty good... (Sorry D=) This gave me the speed I needed to pass DarkZero as well. DarkZero and I were actually duking it out on the last lap. I, unfortunately, was blessed with the horrible Lightning cloud item and ran into DarkZero, passing it off to him. This was pretty epic do to the fact the it basically shrunk him as soon as I passed it off. As I passed the finish line, I almost dropped my controller in disbelief at what I had just done. For the very first time in this GP, I had come in first. The success was quite sweet.
Moonview Highway- Quite an interesting race. The previous race must have affected DarkZero in so horrible way because he was in last place for pretty much the whole race. The race started off wonderfully... until I hit a car driving in the opposite direction, haha. Ollie and I ended up going back and fourth between each other and usual. I was kind of a bully on this level, to be honest. I blocked him from picking up an item box on the second lap and I think I bumped into him a couple of times. Ollie, once again, I'm sorry. ;.; But I got what was coming to me though, I was clobbered by a Blue Shell thrown by DarkZero. That allowed Ollie to take the lead, but the Ollie was also clobbered by a Blue Shell thrown by DarkZero as well. (Maybe he stayed in last on purpose to jerk Ollie and me around with horrible items. xD) In the end, I was able to take first and DarkZero caught up with Ollie and took second.
Points- Wallace: 15 Ollie: 2 DarkZero: 8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The second section ends with a reminder to us all that the Lightning cloud item has to be the worst double edge item in the game, especially when you can't catch up to anyone to pass it off.
Total from section 2- Wallace: 40 points (2nd place) Ollie: 14 points (3rd place) DarkZero: 46 points (1st place)
Total from both sections 1 and 2- Wallace: 60 points Ollie: 34 points DarkZero: 106 points ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3rd section: (Coming soon) GCN Mario Circuit Mario Circuit DS Delfino Square Maple Treeway
