This is the way.
This was infuriating! On my 3rd and final attempt, I luckily got 3rd in the first race only to get last in all the others! It felt like after that first race, suddenly the AI got a lot better! đŸ˜¡

Finally got luck mixed with CPUs that were actually trying to race and not drag way far behind. Just gotta get a good 4th race.

The last bots are so slow. Seems like the ones leading are nearly complete with their second lap before I start.

First: 4
Second:10

I still have no idea how any of you did better. But here we are. Barely any lightening for me. One time I got some I got hit by lightening before I could use it.

Should really keep track of the edit history, but I believe it was

Run 1: 31
Run 2: 37
Run 3: 42
Run 4: 47

Alright... this is it

A few notes for anyone doin this challenge:

- you are allowed to drive backwards and get coins or items if possible. As long as the last bot crosses the start line before you.
- you don’t have to use blue yoshi. But you’re welcome to if you’d like
- man this is difficult!

I was able to win the first race, but the head-start on the 2nd and 3rd race was too large for me to overcome. I was made some headway on the 4th race and caught up to the back of the pack.

It is very difficult on the longer tracks to make up time.
