However I allways do use other characters, I hate Wario and Waluigi's kart though so i never use them.
I've had the thing where you're winning for whole race then something happens right near the finish line. Like Pirana Plants becoming suspiciously accurate and grabbing you, or someone shunting you into the sand-whirlwind on the last course of first cup.
Have yet to experiment with others though.

Toad & Paratrooper in the Bullet Bill car

I feel your pain I really do.
I've had the old Blue Sheel on the finishing line trick happen to me, and many red shells, and all manner of other CPU cheating (getting mysterious speed boosts even though they have no mushrooms etc.)
Toad's speed boosts come in real handy, and getting three red shells with Koopa Troopa is great.
Still, not as annoying as Flower Cup was on 150CC - last race, last lap, I was first, if I'd have won it I'd have won the whole thing and on the final jump someone used a Spiky Blue Shell.
Damn them!
