Dreaded Combo
When playing Mario Kart for the N64 the object is to win as many races as possible. To aid your efforts, magic boxes float above the track and when a driver hits one, Kart upgrades occur. These include weapons, speed bursts, and other defense features. These upgrades are most effectively used in combination with others. The most skilled of Kart players sometimes choose to hold certain upgrades to be used immediately before receiving another one. The most lethal of all combos is referred to as the "Dreaded Combo" or "Death Combo" or more simply put "DC" The DC is the Star / Lightening combo that is absolutely devastating to rival racers. The double DC is the rarest of combos and is a star followed by two lightning bolts, or a star / lightning bolt / star combo.

Peach basically never receives anything but mushrooms. She is the most gifted of Kart drivers, thus the gods rarely award her with such lethal packages like the DC or the Double DC.

Yoshi, who is easily the worst driver, typically gets them several times over the course of 16 races.

Toad (or Todd) gets them more than Peach, but not as often as the raging Green Dinosaur.

Some tracks, especially the really tight ones, have short cuts. It is important to clearly establish ground rules with your gaming friends, in regard to whether or not it is acceptable to use short cuts. For example The most common way to do this is to have a dedicated selector. The dedicated selector (typically the best racer of the group – Peach) has the challenging task of selecting the next race. They will also usually call out game rules. For 94% of the races, “with it” meaning short cuts are allowed or “with-out” meaning no shortcuts are sufficient; however sometimes tight tracks have multiple shortcuts and the drivers need to clearly understand which of the short cuts are acceptable. Most Kart players will yell out the word, “WING” before such races. WING is an acronym for With It Not Gay meaning all short cuts are legit, but not the super gay ones.

One of the most frustrating incidents when playing Kart is getting smoked by an out of control, poorly shot green shell. These are referred to as “Woodwork Green” or more simply put WG. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.38.221.128 (talk) 21:46, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
