Action PhaseAim for an item box!
AGGRESSIVE DRIVING!
Shy Guy feels the looming threat of a Blue Shell, and resolves to put as much distance between himself and anyone else as possible! [6] His speedy Kart zips forward, fully capitalizing on the energy from his start and launching himself down the track with
THREE Momentum and a
-1 Penalty to Hazard Checks!
I assume the blue shell chooses target in the player action phase,so does that mean that if I pass shi guy the blue shell will still hit him and not me, right?
If yes,
Drive aggressively and see if I can get an item box.
If my assumption is not right and the shell would change targets, drive defensively.
The Blue Shell targets whoever is in first place at the instant it is launched, yes.
Meta Knight sees Shy Guy speeding away, [5] and mustering his not-inconsiderable racing talents, he follows, gaining
TWO Momentum and suffering a
-1 Penalty to Hazard Checks!
...reconnecting...
Oomph holds position, Driving Defensively and gaining a
+1 bonus to avoid being Passed, and a
+1 bonus against attacks!
drive aggressively, go for an item box.
Pikachu puts pedal to the metal, [2] but finds himself once more cut off by Oomph! He is forced to ease up on the accelerator to avoid a collision, gaining no Momentum and taking a
-1 Penalty to Hazard Checks.
Drive aggressively and try to pick up an item box if possible.
Conker pushes his Kart to its limits, [6] bursting forward with
THREE Momentum as he looks for his opportunity to pass Pikachu, taking a
-1 Penalty to Hazard Checks!
Olimar smiled as the fools fell behind him. They underestimated the cruel yet colorful landscape.
"BZZZT. Loot detected ahead. Preparing ramming course"
Olimar drafted behind Conker. He would get to the loot first.
As Conker blazes down track into the wind, Olimar sneaks into his slipstream, looking for his opportunity to pass! [2]
+1+1vs[2]
+4 Unfortunately for Olimar, however, Conker pulls away too quickly for him to enjoy any significant speed increase!
(why am I not surprised)
A poor start left Captain Falcon in the dust, but the thing about these kinds of races is that you're never in last for very long.
Aggressive driving!
The savvy Captain Falcon is well aware that a poor start is quite possible to overcome- it's how he qualified for the Star Cup, after all! Still, there are plenty of drivers between him and the leaders, so there's no time like the present to start working up the leaderboard!
[1] As Falcon finishes his musing, however, he is caught off-guard by the swerving Olimar! Instinctively reacting to a perceived attack, the bounty hunter's combat reflexes send him skidding into the grass, losing
ONE Momentum as he takes a
-1 Penalty to Hazard Checks!
Drive aggressively, use shell, go for item box.
Link sends his Blue Shell skyward, and it shrieks toward the front of the pack, primed to strike Shy Guy at the end of the next Action Phase!
[1] With that, Link continues his bizarre game of follow the leader with Captain Falcon, following him into the loose turf by the side of the road! He loses
ONE Momentum and takes a
-1 Penalty to Hazard Checks as he hopes for a new Item to fill his inventory!
Movement PhaseShy Guy has put himself in prime position to Pull Ahead after his fast start! [4]
-6+6 HE SUCCEEDS, blazing around the
GREEN Curve and heading for the
RED forest in a repeat of his Cerulean Speedway Breakaway, losing
FOUR Momentum for his success!
Meta Knight attempts to follow Shy Guy on his meteoric path, [1]
-6+5 but simply cannot match the exceptional speed of Shy Guy! He leads the rest of the racers into
GREEN!
Oomph is Driving Defensively, hoping to hold position!
Pikachu lacks the Momentum to pass Oomph!
Conker rapidly catches up to Pikachu, [1]
+4vs[5]
+1 but the alert Pokemon quickly blocks Conker's path, preventing him from passing!
Olimar is in no position to pass Conker!
Captain Falcon's wheels are spinning as he works his way back onto the track!
Link works desperately to get back on track, [2] but he can't get out of the turf! He
Falls Back, helplessly watching the other racers speed away!
Cleanup PhaseShy Guy gets a shot at the Item Boxes on his way through [color=FF00FF]PINK[/color], [6]
-1+2 easily taking one! [7] He receives a
Fake Item Box- he'll have to use it quickly, though, before the Blue Shell hits!
Meta Knight is next in line for an Item Box, [5]
-1+2-1 handily snagging another box! [7]
+2+1 He picks up a
Triple Banana, and begins dragging them behind his Kart!
Oomph carefully lines up on an Item Box, [2]
+1+2-2 but is frustrated as Meta Knight takes the box he was aiming for!
Pikachu tries for an Item Box, [4]
-1+2-2 but is still recovering from his duel with Conker!
Stymied by Pikachu, Conker hopes for an Item Box to help him out, [5]
-1+2-2 and swerves across the track to snag one! [11]
+8+1 He begins dragging a
Red Shell behind his Kart!
Olimar follows his sensitive Loot Finding gear to an Item Box, [1]
+2-3 but is angered to see Conker cut across the track to take the Box he was aiming at!
Captain Falcon gets back on the road, setting his Momentum to
ONE! He hopes for an Item Box to help him out, [2]
-1+2-3 but finds no Boxes available for him to take!
Link, after much to-do, finally manages to get back on the pavement at the beginning of
PINK! His Momentum is set to
THREE as he begins his climb back up the Leaderboard!

Not one to be without a get rich quick scheme for long, Wario has been busy since his dismissal from WarioWare. He found the gambling business particularly appealing and starts up a casino for betting on the races. Presenting, the grand opening of Wario's High Score casino and resort!
((Interested in becoming a sponsor, and maybe designing a race course too.))
Welcome to the party! I'll roll up your sponsor info when it isn't 1 in the AM, if you'll forgive the delay.
How exactly does Juggernaut work, anyway? Does it change the Ram Driver action to accept a target? Unless you're in first or last, the person you'd be ramming is ambiguous. If for example, you're in first and Juggernaut-ram the person behind you, are they still prevented from passing you in the pass phase?

Yeah, that was worded poorly. It has been rewritten to specify that it only works on the Driver ahead of the user.

A pair of out-of-context actions if ever I've seen one.
A blue shell. On turn one.
This race is going to be one for the gamblers XD
This made me laugh, given Fortis' Sponsor submission. Not to mention Tiruin worrying about a Blue Shell right in his first action- the dice have a cruel sense of humor, it appears.
