Mario Kart Tour

Ah yes, Mario Kart. I remember playing Super Mario Kart on the SNES, back when the game wasn't as rigged. In fact, the rigged-ness couldn't be amplified because there was no weekly updates!

Mario Kart Tour is a gaming app available on iOs and Android. It is fun in the beginning. But as like every other gaming apps, the developers rigged the game hoping the players will start paying for premium items that will somehow get them a few ranks or points higher. It's the basic bait and switch scam. 

As you level up in Mario Kart Tour, you will notice the following ways Nintendo rigged the game for the COMPS: 

1. You: Item Boxes are spinning/rolling! Developer: let's have a COMP in the back use the lightning. No item for you!

2. You: Driving behind a COMP. Developer: Let's have the COMP in front with a banana/shell/flower/Bob-omb drift in front of the player. You crash! 

3. You: In 1-7 place. Developer: Let's have the COMP behind the player use a red shell. You crash! 

4. You: Mega-sized! Developer: Let's slow the player's kart a bit. You get passed by the COMPs. 

5. You: Casually driving. Developer: Let's have a COMP become Mega-sized, increase its speed, and run into the player. You crash!

6. You: In 1st place. Developer: Let's have the COMP behind the player have and use the red shell. You either crash and lose 1st place or manage to deflect the item.

7. You: Still in 1st place. Developer: Okay, let's have the COMP in 3rd passes 2nd and let that one have and use red shell. You crash and lose 1st place.

8. You: Fire a green shell. Developer: Let's have the Player's green shell goes in between all the COMPs and hit the player instead. You crash!

9. You: Casually driving. Developer: Let's have a COMP use a green shell and hit the Player. You crash! 

10. You: In 1st place in Waluigi Pinball. Developer: Let's have the Player get hit by the Pinball... Twice! You come in 2nd at the last 10 feet. 

11. You: In 1st place, approaching the passing train. Developer: Let's have a COMP make the Player crash at the train. You crash AND get stuck at the train (your Kart doesn't flip over) and end up placing outside top 3.

12. You: Throw a Bob-omb forward. Developer: Let's have the Bob-omb walks towards the Player and explode! You crash!

13. You: In 1st place and on the final Items spin. Developer: Let's give the Player two coins and have the COMP in 2nd make the Player crash. You lose 1st place!

X. Developer: Let's create a chaotic course and named it Ninja Hideaway and have the COMPs know all the shortcuts so the Player won't get 1st place.
