I don't know man, I don't really like the coin system. The blue shell now can take out like everyone on it's way to first, and like when I play it with my mates it just seems really unfair like the game is always pushing the CPU players.
When you say you don't like the coin system, are you referring to the speed boosts in gameplay/power drifting or the market system for kart parts? As for the blue shell, it is a lot more dickish than before, but they introduced an item specifically to counter it and its original purpose was always to help players in last place catch up, so I guess that one's just preference. You're right about the CPUs, though. They're broken as **** , but at the end of the day you could always just lower their difficulty to match your preference. There's no shame in removing the blue shell or lowering CPU difficulty if it means a better gameplay experience. That's why those options exist.
lel. I mean, I just see the coins as part of the environment. Whether I pick them up and boost or not doesn't really make a difference to me as long as they're in a straight line. If they're near a turn/curved, though, they could make someone lose control pretty easily.
This one time, on the F-Zero map. I was playing with my friend and we were on te final lap, I was in 6th and he was 1st, he decided to be a cheeky dickhead and reverse into the finish line, but because it had a boost, he was boosted away from it.
Meanwhile I got Bullet Bill and boosted past everyone into first place
