@bitsplease on the single player I don't think so. The items are fine, but I would like them to be more like in super mario kart. Right now, if you go in 1st or 2nd is ok, but if you drop to the middle positions you can't even drive properly, it's a mess of items, it's annoying. Basically the last positions have super items all the time that spoils the race to everyone
