Maybe a Starbucks

After a particularly frustrating Mario Kart Wii online match today in which I went from 1st to 12th in three seconds, I decided to go back to a simpler time- I played Mario Kart 64 through the wonders of Virtual Console. I played Raonbow Road.
Mario Kart 64's Rainbow Road is by far the best. It takes about six minutes to finish the whole thing and that's if you're really good.
Mario Kart Wii's Rainbow Road is definitely the worst. You go off those jumps and you just pray that you ever land again.
The main difference between Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart Wii is this: MK64 is like a brick. You run into another racer and they just kind of slide off eventually. There are very few jumps in MK 64. Mario Kart Wii is like a super bouncy ball. When you run into another racer they bounce off you and you go sliding off the track into the void of nothingness. There are tons of jumps in MK Wii.
As strange as it sounds, I'd rather play with a brick than a super bouncy ball.

I'm sitting here looking at the hundreds of dollars I've spent on Wii games, and I was bored so I'm blogging about it.
First of all, honorable mention goes to Wii Sports, Twilight Princess, and The Simpsons Game.
5. Mario Kart Wii. This is the second most frustrating video game I've ever played after Spy vs. Spy for the NES. But the very fact that I continue to play it over and over again says something... Nintendo knows how to keep you coming back.
4. Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. I think I spent more time playing this game than any other.
3. Super Paper Mario. Classic with a dollop of modern. Feels like the son of Super Mario Bros. 3.
2. Super Smash Bros. Brawl. If you've read my blog regularly you're probably surprised that this isn't number one, but I thought about this for a long time, and determined the main problem with this game is repetitiveness - too many of the characters are too similar. Sorry, Brawl but there's one Wii game that takes the cake... o Mushroom as it were...
1. Super Mario Galaxy. This is like the grandson of Super Mario Bros. 3. There's not one aspect of this game that I don't like, from the overall gameplay to the background music. This game rocks!...

So I was bored today and I popped the Wii-Mote into the Guitar Hero controller, I popped Mario Kart Wii into the console, and I played Mario Kart Wii replacing the Wii Wheel with the Guitar Hero controller.
It's like driving a semi truck.
Yeah... I'm weird.
