I've had fine succes with toad and the BDasher (normal wheels, monster wheels are ugly as hell ^x^). I suppose he gives pretty decent acceleration too though

I'm thinking about switching to barrel train or egg1 though, and might throw on the gold wheels now that I have them

Anyone here wanna trade FCs?
Robman: I disagree, this is better than mkw. Mainly because the levels are just more enjoyable I guess.
The fireflower seems a bit broken at times and the red shells are more powerful than ever, which I guess are small minusses though. I remain thinking that the 7 isn't all that good, don't see why people think it's that crazy, lol. It's just a star and some trash. Stuff like gold shroom, bullet bill, shock are better.

(you could choose to strategize a little with some of the trash to make it less trash... Like red shell and bob-omb, but then you aren't getting new items, and bob-omb is appearently dangerous to hold on to)
Edit: Tried some online with barrel train and gold wheels... Didn't work out very well, lol.
