Topic	Are the "Weapons" in Mario Kart Considered "Random Chance"?

So the reductive answer is flat out no because you're playing a computer game. The game you're playing, and it's particular workings are irrelevant. What we're really talking about is whether or not an outcome is unpredictable in a way that's sufficient for the needs of the game. You tell me: can you predict what power ups you're going to get in the heat of the moment? If you can, then I wouldn't call that very random, and if you can't than it's "random" enough. I guess if theres a pattern to the randomization then you could influence the outcome if you knew the pattern with a button. --- C was right. <cite>zebatov posted [p:931950582] in Are the &q...
