Now there are people out there like that, but that doesn't encompass everyone who isn't trying to min/max their way to victory.
You see it as "my way" and "your way". I see it as Mario Kart. >_>
To put in in terms you might understand, I'm going to run Daisy, because she's my favorite Mario Kart character. And I'm going to run the vehicle that I enjoy the handling of best. Neither of those might be the optimal choice, but running someone besides Daisy is less fun for me. I'd rather lose as Daisy than win as Bowser.

Do it. As for me, I will try my best to beat you using any legal means possible. My favorite character is Kinopio (Toad) so I hope he is the best, lol.

I used Karon (Dry Bones) for Mario Kart DS. Ugly stupid character, but it worked well for me.

Dry Bones' Dry Bomber is one of the best karts in the game. I've seen places that rank it below the Yoshi Egg but I find it to be better. Kinda ironic, eh? :P

My mains were the Dry Bomber for courses with lots of off-road areas, and the Poltergeist 4000 for most everything else. I use the ROB-BLS for the Figure-8 Circuit, though.
Gaming accomplishments:
Nibbler (marathon): 251,169,160 / Nibbler (one life): 5,263,360 (WR)
Donkey Kong: 423,100 [L12-1] (150th place as of 2019-01-15)
Super Smash Bros. (N64): Ranked top 5 in Wisconsin from Q1 2016 to Q2 2017
Shrek SuperSlam: won largest tournament in game's history (Shrekfest 2018)

If the Dry Bomber is the Karon Cannon, that's what I used. It looked like a tank.

Ahh, some competitive Mario Kart talk going on here.

I'd love to challenge you guys when MK7 comes out. I may not be the best Mario Kart player, but I'm certainly decent at the very least.

When it comes out, there will be a Racketboy community and we can all race each other. I will happily race everyone here, even MrPopo.

Sweet, I always used the Yoshi Egg, I didn't realise people considered it to be good.
