You could not beat the AI using auto trans and if you did not properly down shift while breaking, you couldn't win much less if you crashed or bumped a wall, you lost.

I spent so many quarters on that game, it actually improved my real life racing at the time. I raced shifter karts at the time and that game was almost like driving one.
