You thought you had it bad?Here is the worst scenario and it almost made me think someone hacked the red shells.
At
GBA course 4, mind you this was everytime I heard it, whenever someone threw a red shell I would hear the alarm but when I looked back it was NEVER there.But to my surprize I turned around a drove only to find myself getting hit with a red shell without the warning.Everytime I heard it I just stopped and waited but the sound allways went away but allways came back to p*** me off again.Infact the only time I got out of this annoyance is when I used a Mega mushroom when I , again, heard the alarm.So I used it spun around and found the red shell.And with the mega mush still in effect.I drove towards it.However it shockingly started going away from me.Luckily I smashed the last one of them.
This has NEVER happened to me.Lag?I hope so.
