The max_speed of most karts is at 25. They may go faster with drifting and nitro, but let's assume the average speed is at 25. (NB : in Super Tux mode. I think the basket ball is not slower in easier difficulties while the karts are.)\r\n\r\nThis may seem like a noticeable difference, except it means that to catch up the basket ball need 3.5x the time separating the user of the ball and the first kart (1/(1-25/35)).\r\n\r\nSo when the user is 10 seconds behind the first, it takes 35 second for the basket ball to hit.\r\n\r\n**When the user of the ball is 20 seconds behind, it takes 70 seconds for the basket ball to hit.**\r\n\r\n(Side issue : when there are a lot of karts, those in bad positions shouldn't get a basket ball, it's useless for them and is ineffective even to slowdown the first)\r\n\r\nIf the first is able to drift correctly and get some nitro ; and he has no other accident ; he may well do half a race hunted by a basket ball without being hit. E.g. ; **on the lightouse track, I'm able to go faster than the basket ball.**\r\n\r\nIncreasing the basketball speed seems therefore a good idea - 40 would mean 2.7x the time at 25 and 4x at 30 ; 45 would mean 2.25x the time at 25 and 3x the time at 30. Both would still let some room to get to the finish lap in the end of a race or to get a bubblegum shield.\r\n\r\nAnother possible solution  would be to change the speed of the basketball according to its distance to the 1st kart - fast at the start but slower when it's closer. This would keep some fun trying to outrun the basket ball but making it harder."}}
