Mario Kart online cheat

Whan playing online are the people im playing cheating?

Right at the end when im about to cross the finish line in 1st place the game ends just as if iv been in 2nd and the other player has crossed the line. So I lose the race just at the end even tho the other player is far behind me, is it a cheat or is it something to do with lag or anything like that?

Sorry if this has been asked before, I did look but couldnt find anything.

Cheers all

I don't know what it is, but Ive had it happen to me before.

I put it down to lag perhaps when its happened, ive seen the other karts literally dissapear in front of me being very erratic then be at the finnish line....gotta be lag, i guess.

I'd say its lag too, only thing I've experienced like that was on RR6 on the 360, if you had the 360 connected to your PC via media connect and media center you would lag something cronic, but at the finish line even if I was 40 seconds behind it'd put me in 1st usually by a good 5+ seconds.

I'm not sure how you'd accomplish that on a DS but I dont think its a widespread cheat or anything as such.

Olly.

P.S. Tetris DS online is THE BOMB get it.

Yes, it's lag.
