Special Cup -

* Donut Plains 3 - The hardest race for me in the game, at least it's first. Only real problem was the mole on lap 4. I still kept this attempt for three reasons -
* I didn't come to a dead stop
* The overall course time was acceptable, look at the lap summary
* Donkey Kong was hungry

Average time - 1'28"XX. Actual - 1'26"63

* Koopa beach 2 - Another one of those "circle races" like Vanilla Lake. And those stupid fish, I'm a Gorilla, can't I eat those too? I take out Toad, which usually causes the other CPUs to slow down so he can get back in the lead, but Bowser doesn't cooperate.
Average time - 1'08"XX. Actual - 1'06"88

* Ghost Valley 3 - Not too happy about this course. I still beat my average time, but this was off the heels of two attempts burned from the feather putting me in the hole, so I cut corners instead. And shades of Bowser Castle 1 with the stupid zipper. Moving on...
Average time - 1'25"XX. Actual - 1'22"31

* Vanilla Lake 2 - The last "circle race", but this one is actually my favorite course. I was really hoping for a mushroom, oh well. I enjoy all of the water skipping.
Average time - 1'02"XX. Actual - 1'01"88

* Rainbow Road - Absolutely brutal. Yes, I failed here many times. I was dying for a mushroom here, but to no avail. I've also had multiple runs killed on many courses by the CPU throwing an item right on top of me. When Yoshi tossed that egg, I thought that was it, close call. And, yes, I almost fell on lap 5. And, no, I don't want to talk about it.
Average time - 1'39"XX. Actual - 1'35"30

Great finish. I was so glad to put this one away. I am very happy with the run, I feel this is some of my strongest racing. Especially considering I just started using DK. The only area I wish could have gone better was better luck with the items, but that is out of my control. But in the end, I beat all of my average times, which was my personal requirement while running each cup.
