The game has it's problems, but 12 player online races are still more fun than they have a right to be.

I think I spent almost two hours playing online last night without even meaning to. I'd find a nice big group and proceed to dominate it until it would die down to only a few players. Then I'd just find new one to join.

You start to get a nice feel for the skill levels of the other players if they stick around long enough. Little rivalries start to develop as the same two or three players come back time and again to challenge your grip on first. You get to know their strengths and weaknesses. The Toadette on a bike that hates being bumped, but always comes back for more. The Funky Kong that shoots way out in front but can't handle the croud if you slow him down with an item or two. The Hitler Mii that hangs out in the middle of the pack and isn't a real threat, but never passes an opportunity to hit you again if somebody else manages to spin you out. The Bowser Jr. that occationally takes the lead with a risky, difficult shortcut, but usually messes up instead and just falls off the track. The annoying Yoshi that drives the same route as you and loves to leave it covered with banana peels and fake item blocks, so you can never take the same route again on following laps.

I know it'll probably never happen, but how much fun would a 12 player vgf race be?
