So my friend is coming to visit (from Oregon to Florida!) and we're going to Universal Studios, right? And butterbeer there is hella expensive so we decided that we're going to have a Mario Kart competition on my wii (yes, the first one -- I'm behind on the times) and the loser has to buy the butterbeer.

Well, I'm getting a second bachelor's degree so needless to say, I'm poor af.

SO, any tips? What's your favorite character/car combo?
How do I not die on Rainbow Road?
Does driving manual give an advantage over automatic? Thanks! (:
