For most, if you’re not using Yoshi, you hate racing against him.just like how many MAC fans hate NIU’s great late runs. Even when you think you’ve got them beat, they get a miracle star somehow and shoot past you into first place. He has a great top speed and acceleration and, somehow (as any true player knows), always seems to get lucky and get the best items which propels him into first place late. Yoshi, along with Toad, is considered to be one of the best racers in the game.

WMU had great acceleration early, winning 6 in a row at one point and starting 4-0 in the MAC.īut, once in first place, neither seem to get a lot of help from boxes/other schools and that allows for the other contenders to catch back up and pass them in the later stages of the season/race. Toad is super light, can get off to a great start, and is one of the fastest racers in the game, just as the Broncos were last season. Unfortunately, other player’ items seem to keep Peach within reach and, because of that, she’s prone to dramatic comebacks and losing late - which also sounds like the Bulls who dropped three of their last four, including the MAC Championship Game in heartbreaking fashion. Buffalo got off to a great start, winning nine of their first ten games. Those qualities make her one of the hardest players to keep up with.just like the Bulls high-powered offense was last season. Peach is super fast and light while still having lots of power and great acceleration. Plus, let’s not forget, they both wear lots of green. Much like Mario, Luigi is a solid contender and decent at everything but seems to be very unlucky.īoth can lead the way for most of the race/season but something always seems to trip them up and results in them falling apart late, leaving them in third place (or worse) - just as Miami’s late run did last year. They’re both great but somehow end up finishing just outside of first place. However, despite the great stats and players, both the Rockets and Mario are often not found holding the trophy at the end. Mario is the most complete racer in the game.just as how the Rockets are always considered the most complete football team (on paper anyways). Playable Characters Mario - Toledo Rockets However, smart players can hop over these or avoid them.like most teams that played Akron were able to do. They run back and forth across the road until an unsuspecting player gets blown up.just like the Zips did to the Northwestern Wildcats last year. Bob-Omb - Akron Zipsīob-ombs appear in almost every level and can really mess you up. But while he might not be around much, he’s sneaky and can catch you unaware - just like the Illinois Fighting Illini found out in week one last year when the Flashes almost pulled out a win in Champaign. The unleashed Chomp only appears in one level, Rainbow Road, just like Kent State only appeared in one MAC game (against Bowling Green). The Chips were easy to pass this year, going 0-8 in the MAC, just like these guys are the least likely to ruin your race in the game. Sherbet Land is home to these annoying little guys that jump, slide, and spin their way into to blocking your path to victory.just like CMU has done to teams in the West (especially NIU the past ten years or so).

The Falcons weren’t able to flatten too many teams last year, but they did get to laugh at CMU and Akron in conference play. Just when you think you’re in the clear, you hear that distinct “URGH!” and end up flattened and taunted, as it laughs at you. Thwomps are the most annoying and difficult thing to pass in Bowser’s Castle just as BGSU can be for many teams in the East. Non-Playable Characters Thwomp - Bowling Green Falcons I compared the four worst MAC teams (based on conference record from last year) to four non-playable characters.just like those characters could mess up your race, these four teams were never in contention for a title but could still manage to steal a game or, at least, keep it close. How can you possibly do this?” Fear not, I have a plan. Now, I’m sure you’re thinking “but wait.there’s 12 MAC schools and only eight racers in the game. Even though the game came out 22 years ago (!!!), it’s still just as fun to play today as it was back then.Īnd, if you still play the game (as I do), and love MAC football I’m sure you’ve also wondered what racer matches up with each MAC team. It’s arguably one of the greatest four-player games of all time and certainly the best multiplayer racing game ever invented. that shit’s hard!!), the greatest off all time has to be Mario Kart 64. While all the Mario Kart games are fun (except Super Mario Kart for Super Nintendo.
