Huh, that's pretty impressive. I've only been on boats as a passenger. Was it a motorboat or sailboat?
[ Looking at the menu now... ]
Let's see... There are different weight classes, which I think is the main thing? So it depends on what kind of style you prefer. I think the lighter ones would be quicker to accelerate but have less power once they're going.
[ Hm... he thinks he can kind of potentially picture this?? He needs to find out if she actually liked that thing, maybe he can make a nicer one for her birthday or something. Anyway. ]
Well, the midweight ones would probably be pretty steady, yes. And then either the light or heavyweights would likely take a bit more skill or strategy.
[ Flipping back and forth between two pink-themed Koopa kids and eventually pausing on the big one with the sunglasses. ]
[She looks at the screen. Then at the controller. And then she presses "A" to select Luigi because her cursor was already on him by default as the second player.]
Well, they're in order by level of difficulty, and that one is... here, at the end of the fourth set. I think we'd both probably just go flying off the track if we tried it now before we're familiar with the controls.
[Hard same. She nods, pressing down on A once the light turns!!
...And, uh, doesn't quite manage to turn hard enough to make the curve, thus slowing down when she ends up off-road oh boy this is definitely a learning experience.]

...I think it was closer to a motorboat, but it wasn't open. ...Actually it was more like being in an oversized barrel.
[Y. Yeah. But peering at the characters now!]
So some characters are steady but others have better gains if you can play well long enough...

I think... I'll try this one.

All right! We can always try out some others later anyway to get a feel for all the options.

I know he was interested in that rainbow level, so we'll definitely have to practice everything in that set once we get used to playing.
[ But they're definitely starting with the most basic stuff now. ]
no subject
We can't practice it now?
[Seriously how do games work she has no idea this is probably her first video game ever.]

So to be able to beat that track, you need to learn how to play through all of the other ones first and use that experience... I see.

Please leave it to me. I will train hard to make sure I can crush them at this "rainbow level."

You are wonderful. Thank you for being here with me.

[Dryly. But no less petty.]

[ And I'm going to handwave a lot of this because most of my Mario Kart knowledge is 20 years old and probably no longer valid!! ]
All right, so that A button there-- get ready to push that down once he says go.
