I haven't been on a bicycle in about 20 years. From what I recall they skid when they stop unless you're going barely fast enough to stay upright.

Skidding and leaving skid marks are two very different things, plus that's really not true at all unless you're stopping harder than you typically should (and even then, it's mostly the back tire simply because of how the overall weight distribution shifts forward, rather than because there's so much friction that the tire disintegrates onto the road). Based this answer, I can change my comment to "for the sake of your hypothetical tires, I'm glad you don't drive, but if that means you have this little understanding of how driving and cycling work, perhaps you should stay out of such discussions and try to learn from people who actually understand what's going on."

Yet this quote is treating it like it's an intentional hate crime to leave skid marks in a street.

It's an intentional hate crime (or at least act of hate, since "crime" is a legal term that might not apply depending on local laws) to specifically deface pro-LGBT artwork. If you genuinely believe that it's merely a coincidence that all of these skid marks just happen to be on top/in the immediate vicinity of a pride flag, rather than a deliberate act by some homophobic dickwads, you're so hopelessly naive that I really don't know how to start helping you.

But I'd rather not assume anything.

Are you familiar with the saying "keep an open mind, but not so open that your brain falls out"? Because you're not particularly acting like you are. That kind of "I don't want to jump to any conclusions" rhetoric is on the same level as flat-earthers who don't want to outright admit that they're flat-earthers, and so dance around committing to the position by disingenuously repeating things like "I just want to consider all possibilities." At best, it represents a complete failure to think critically about the subject at all, meaning you've done nothing to curate what possibilities are and are not actually plausible. At worst, it's deliberate homophobic dog whistling and you're trying to gaslight us into ignoring homophobic vandalism, meaning you're a festering turd of a human. You can either take your pick where you want to fall on that spectrum, or you can start thinking sensibly about the matter.

the fireball power is fairly crappy in double dash, certainly not worth using double fireball.

koopa troopa+koopa paratroopa is best. 6 red shells is crazy

I was always fond of Paratroopa+Baby Luigi. Triple shells were the strongest option in higher places, while Chain Chomp was invaluable for catching up if I fell further back. But then that means you're playing a lightweight, which comes with its own drawbacks.
