agree?

[Dyne]

I guess. I think Tricky from Star Fox Adventures was WAY more annoying, but people wouldn't agree that Star Fox Adventures is a good game. I think it is.

Damn it Cam-it!


I just came here to post that!

But yes, I agree

tsk tsk, you should know better by now.

[Typhoid]

with Tails as your computer partner and he becomes the digitalized version of every bumbling sidekick in TV sitcom history, crashing into bombs at will. During regular gameplay, when he's not busy dying, Tails has also been known to prematurely activate crumbling platforms and elevators. Worst of all, deep down inside he believes he's helping the entire time, which makes it almost impossible to hate him.

Almost.


That summed everything.

Navi was and is an important character from OOT that offered much needed advice in sticky situations. I didnt find Navi annoying at all.

There is a place for comeback AI, especially when playing Mario Kart with friends. I honestly believe that is why Mario Kart 64 is so universally loved by pretty much everyone, men, women, kids, adults, you name it, they like it. Its still amazingly fun to go back and play a 4 player round of Mario Kart.

[DarkMaster]

Raiden and Daxter are fine, the rest, yeah, annoying.

[GameMaster]

I never found Waluigi to be annoying. Another unimaginative Nintendo knock-off character, sure.

Toad on the other hand is annoying. That god-awful, shrill voice and overall stupidity and helplessness.

And Slippy Toad... don't get me started. What I wouldn't give to defecate in that thing's mouth...

Funny that Falco from StarFox 64 wasn't included. That guy had an Arwing up his ass 24/7. What a bitchy, asinine attitude. I would go out of my way to shoot down Falco and Slippy.

Mario Kart goes both ways. The opposing AI is better if you're in first. But if you crash repeatedly, the karts ahead of you actually stop racing. The dots still slowly move around the track, but that's not where the karts really are. It's designed so no matter how poorly you perform, you can turn around and be passing another kart within N seconds.

Also, it's programmed into a game that when a person is so-close to finishing a race, the blue shell will appear. So getting hit when you're about to cross the finish line isn't unlucky, it's part of the design :p

[KillerGremlin]

I'm such a pimp at 4-player Mario Kart 64. But, even to this day, I will occasionally lose to the computer on Lap 3 right before the finish line because I am a victim of a shell or banana and the AI is right behind me or right in front of me. I don't see the computer power sliding to victory!!! Oh well, it keeps the game interesting. Give props to the design team.
