You should challenge Badspot to a race, but putting walls around the track so the only way to win is to cross the finish line (or in this case, touch the yellow plate)

Does the mini game have the thing where people go progressively faster the farther back in place they are? Good racing games kind of need that.

Rubber banding is technically not cheating as it's there to balance the game.

I owned him on a Kart Duel, Fail, OP.

But the game is balanced.
All the cars go at the same speed.
It would be unbalanced if the ones behind were faster.


It would be like... let's use League of Legends for example... Giving someone 50 more gold for dying than they do getting a kill. They shouldn't be rewarded for dying in the first place, let alone, be more rewarded than someone who's doing good.

Sense the cars travel at the same speed, the cars behind will stay behind and there is no challenge for the person who starts out first.

It is the balance of video games so that players keep playing.
