Haven't been here in a while..T_T..soz
Well I haven't played MKDS much since I posted here. Just played some balloon battles vs. cpu on hard mode and no teaming (see how they pick on you). One time I got like 7 cpu players chasing me after I hit them, coincidence? xD Also, here is some more advice to become a master at balloon battles:
- Block Fort: The name already says it, best way to win here is by building a fort atop somewhere and watch how your enemies hurt themself before you finish them off with a shell/mushroom. What you are gonna do: Start off with a power boost foreward and go left/right at center, depends in what direction you prefer to use sliding (R-button). Drive as fast as you can to the end of what way and grab the item box while already starting to slide left. Go up the hill, turn left again, drive forward (across the bridge) --or go up the hill near you-- and go up the hill at the end of it. If you did corrently you're now atop one of the 4 highest points of the map. Grab the item box when it's aviable there and start laying banana/fake box fields at every way the enemies can get near you: those are the 2 bridges and the hill you used to get up there yourself. Once everything is 'mined' get your item box filled with shields or mushrooms (work good here) so you can strike someone after the hit a banana/fake box and take care of the enemy before they start firing stuff at you. Oh and, you can use a bomb also to attack them long-range and make them lose their shield before they get in your banana/fake box field. If you don't, they'll use a shield to open a gap and activate their red shield to track you and smack you off the pilar (smart players). If your enemies don't have patience they will come for you anyway so this'll work. Either take them on long-range (bomb) or go in ambush mode and attack with shield after they drive in. If they got too near you immediatly jump to bottom ground, armor yourself and get back to your position.
Maybe I should write a FAQ for this...what you guys think?
