I assume someone has to have gone into the RNG of this game before. I'm just looking for information which should already be out there.
What Gav posted is an infamous copy pasta in the MKDD community, so don't take it too serious.
What you're assuming is wrong however. Nobody has bothered to really go in depth about this game in that aspect. To answer your questions:
Quote:1) Someone told me you can influence what items you get by observing where the roulette wheel is and starting to mash A accordingly. Is this true? Where can I read about this if so?
no, you can only get them faster
Quote:2) What determines the RNG of what items you get besides your place in the race? Does character matter? I mean besides special items of course. Does stage matter? Where can I read about RNG in this game?
Stage doesn't matter. Depends on game mode. Placement when you *get* the item is deciding factor. RNG rates are unknown.
Quote:3) When racing with four solo human racers on recommended items, I'm pretty sure you can only get lightning in fourth, right? Where could I confirm this? Also, can there only be one lightning and one blue shell out at a time?
Pretty sure I've seen lightning in 2nd place. Yes, only 1 person can hold that item.
Quote:4) How does the game keep track of laps, specifically backwards laps? For instance at the start of a race on baby park, you can go backwards at the beginning one lap and to get back to "zero" laps, you would need to do one lap forward. But how does the game store the value of laps you went backward? Could you get some stack overflow or something by going an absurd number of laps backwards? I mean the game can only use a finite amount of memory to tell how far backwards you have gone. Is there a cap or something?
Probably. As a kid I've gone backwards a bunch of times and you'd need to go the same amount of laps forward in order for them to "start counting" again. Has someone tested this cap yet? Nope.
Quote:5) On bowser's castle, to get the skip, you don't need to blow yourself up with a blue shell right? Technically anyone could send the shell?
It's about getting the air, not you throwing the blue shell. You could blow yourself up with a bob-omb. If you check out the Special Cup WR you can see a double Bowser Skip, one shell thrown by me, one by CPUs.
