Action PhaseAction: Outer Curve, Defensive Driving!
Oomph holds to the safe path, maintaining his Momentum and trying to preserve his lead! He gains a
+1 bonus to avoid passes and attacks!
Captain Falcon was not liking the encroaching racers behind him, or the less than stellar item he got, but you got to use what you have.
"Now you see me, now you don't"
Use Blooper, power slide in outer lane
Captain Falcon unleashes
THE BLOOPER, spraying his opponents windshields with ink! The inked players take a
-1 Penalty to Race, Pass, and Hazard Checks until the end of next turn, or until they hit a Dash Panel or use a Mushroom or Star.
With his foes enfeebled, Captain Falcon attempts a Powerslide, [1]
+1 but one again fails to execute the unfamiliar maneuver!
Counselor Grimtoad: Go for the item boxes!
Last day here, I'll do this. And DRIVE AGGRESSIVELY.
Counselor Grimtoad throws caution to the wind, aggressively cutting inside to the Item-filled rapids! [5]
-1 He cuts a close line, but it pays off to the tune of
ONE Momentum, albeit with a
-1 Penalty to Hazard Checks!
Bill decides to wait for Grimtoad to make a mistake, choosing to powerslide the outside.
Seeing Grimtoad speed ahead, Bill decides that now is not the time to take the shot. Instead, he powerslides toward the outer lane, [4]
+1-1 and successfully sparks his engines! He gains a
+1 bonus to Pass Checks as he surges ahead, although the speedy Counselor Grimtoad is too far ahead to pass.
Defensive driving. Inner lane, Item boxes.
Mario follows Grimtoad towards the item boxes, but unlike the Counselor he takes it safe, gaining a
+1 bonus against Passes and attacks!
Drive Aggressively along the inner curve and aim for that item box!
Darn you, darn you, darn you! You may be ahead now, but I'll make you all pay soon enough! The Mysterious Mr. L makes a dash for the inner path and its valuable Item Boxes, [2]
-1 but as he does so his windshield is covered in ink! He swerves wildly, losing
ONE Momentum and suffering a
-1 Penalty to Hazard Checks!

Movement PhaseOomph is
driving defensively, and so does not attempt to Pull Ahead!
Captain Falcon does not have enough Momentum to try and pass Oomph!
Counselor Grimtoad is flying through the inside, and hits the water at full speed! [2]
+2-1-1 The Ink causes Grimtoad to misjudge how close he can cut it, and drives too close to the edge of the waterfall! Counselor Grimtoad is swept off the cliff,
Falling Back!
That was exactly the kind of mistake Bill Ryzer was waiting for on the outer path, as he effortlessly passes Grimtoad with no loss of Momentum! He's just behind Captain Falcon now!
Mario, seeing Grimtoad's fate, takes a much more conservative entry line to the water hazard, [4]
+2+1-1 and safely skates through the turbulent water, aiming for one of the plentiful Item Boxes!
The Mysterious Mr. L is swerving wildly into the water hazard! [5]
+2-1-1 Fortunately, his racing skills compensate, sending him lurching upstream against the current, safely away from the edge of the cliff! He lines up on one of the many floating Item Boxes!
Cleanup PhaseCounselor Grimtoad is plucked from certain death by the fast-acting Lakitu Towing Crew! Dangling from the Lakitu's tow line, he is dragged back to the start of
BLUE before being thrust forward with
TWO Momentum!
Mario takes aim at one of the Item Boxes, [4]
+3-1 and easily hits, [1]
+3+1 gaining a
Blooper!
The Mysterious Mr. L's mad dash brings him to one of the Item Boxes, [5]
+3-1 which he slides through with gusto! [1]
+4 He
ALSO gets a
Blooper! ...is there some mathematical reason bloopers keep popping up, or do the dice just hate you guys?

PURPLE Inside- +0 Powerslide, +1 Momentum, Hazard (+2) or fall back, spin out or flip make Hazard Check (+1) to avoid falling off the cliff.
BLUE- Outside- +1 Powerslide
BLUE- Inside- -1 Powerslide, Item Boxes (+3), Hazard (+2) or fall back, spin out or flip make Hazard Check (+2) to avoid falling off the cliff.
((Is the curve broad or normal?))
The outer path of Blue is a broad curve well suited for Powerslides (+1) while the inner path is more of a dog-leg with a hazard in the middle, making it quite unsuited for the maneuver (-1)
Yes, it gives you a +3 dodge bonus against green and red shells, and people attempting to pass might run into it instead. Fake item boxes for whatever reason do not provide a +3 dodge bonus.
Fake Item Boxes, at least in Mario Kart DS, don't block attacks. I think they aren't solid until deployed or something.
