Time trials are not the same as head-to-head racing
Time trail just demonstrates the effect for you if you look at the splits. Having 10 coins is a major advantage and will increase your chances of, grabbing the lead and staying first. Every time you have a larger amount of coins will ensure that even if you get hit, you still have more coins than the person behind you. Literally being the difference between getting an overtake opportunity again or falling further behind.
are the people who keep hold of 10 coins in multiplayer games always the ones who win?
That is a very different question from your post, Mariokart is an arcade racer with a lot of RNG, no-one can guarantee a win with that much RNG. What you can do is increase your chances dramatically.
No it’s not. You totally lost the plot of their post. The very first thing they said was, “how much should you really be going for max coins, in a multiplayer race?” And then you went on and on about time trials.
What you can do is increase your chances dramatically.
“Dramatically”. You are an expert exaggerator! In the chaos and RNG of a multiplayer race, 10 coins will not increase your chances of winning “dramatically”. smh
Nothing warranted your hostility? Anyway, the post (not the comment obviously) is asking how much impact coins have on the game. Answer? A lot, the exact number is not known but general consensus is 0.5-1% per coin, which on an average laptime of 35 seconds, could save you 1.7-3.5 seconds per lap. If you’ve ever played a racing game, that is the very definition of dramatic, grinding some time trails will even reveal that fact to you.
If you still haven’t noticed the dramatic difference 10 coins makes even in multiplayer, that’s a skill issue on your side.
And then maybe, if you get good, you’ll notice some coins have less importance than others, but in general go for the coins, they will help you gather momentum and dramatically increase your chance of winning.
