And don't give me that "punishes people for being good lol" nonsense. Unless you get hit by like 3 in one lap (which happens occasionally unfortunately) you'd be BAD to let second place catch up just for that.
Have you ever played against the AI in the Wii version? 150cc is basically code for "player 1 eats a blue shell, then a red before they can get any speed, then another series of items all before they can really move, right on the final corner, every time". Playing that game with AI opponents (which you'll probably want to do if you want a full sized race since you're not always going to be able to find a full set of humans) is an exercise in tedium.

Mistake you're making - overlooking the fact that we might not want to be saved.
