goody-player hater

I've been a goody player for years, and I need help.

You see, goody playing is getting me nowhere. Take, for example, the following graphic:



I lost to Yoshi by a two-to-one margin, which is a bummer. I attribute this loss to my timeless--and failed--strategy of goody playing.

Consider that at one point, Mario was leading Yoshi 10-9. During these first 20 races, I had adopted a strategy of turbo-ing out of the box at the beginning of races. And, sure enough, my winning percentage improved dramatically. When Mario turboed out of the box, he won over 50 percent of his races. When he didn't; when he sat back for the goodies, he won less than 30 percent.

Of course, I can beat Peach, Luigi and Donkey Kong using goody-player tactics, so this strategy only applies when up one-on-one against, say, Yoshi or some other skill player.

And, for the record, Krunkiokart 64 is quite possibly the best game ever.
