Ok, recently I was playing MKW and I noticed something odd that was happening. I was on 150cc leaf cup and I was in first place. I was about a kart length ahead of second and we both got an item box. The music for choosing the item box takes place. However, second place got their item usuable first. Is this a glitch, or am I doing something wrong.

If you press the button at the right time, while the item box is still slotting through the items, you will get the item faster. If you can't time it, just mash the button until the item appears. Just be careful not to waste it by accident.

nope... I notice it too...

not a glitch, just a way of keeping u near the pack.

still it seems pretty much like a cheap shot. especially if you didn't have a clue how to get the items fast. By any chance, if you let it roll longer with the music, do u get better items?

No, basically hitting the button at the right time gets you the item faster, just keep hitting the item button, that's what I do, just make sure you stop before the item is actually useable

i noticed it but if u press the control pad ( the button you use your item with if you use other controlls it might be a diffrent button) the item should come up faster it does for me

The AI is fake in this game. It happens instantly for them.

Nah, its not THAT fake. Save their own special item distribution and rubberband code, they are subject to the same basic rules a player is.

Press the Item Throwing button right after you get your item to get it faster.
