The Super bug thing should only be active for the last 2 people in the racing line, just like in Mario Kart. Kinda like Bullet Bill......

Oh you're no fun it felt like the Grand Prix of Aoto Racing in Monaco.rofl.

I would like to see the free fall speed going down hills to be at a little more realistic speed. It feels like the breaks are on going down hill. And bump the overall speed of the game, make if feel like more of a race. Maybe some racing sound effects.

Yup, whenever there's something different (without go to point A, kill everything you see type goals) its great fun. I hope they add new maps (racetracks) next time they introduce the races next event

If it doesn't stay, I would at least like to see the same idea. Mini-games like this and the snowball fight really kept me from ripping my hair out in the rest of the game. If you can't keep rollerbeetles at least keep the concept of permanent Mini-Games

This is single handedly the coolest mini game ANET has ever come up with! Hats off to the Dev Team on this one. I have been having a blast running these races !!! I was praying they would stay around longer. And when you talk to the Score Board NPC it has a "Daily, Monthly, Quarterly" Tab and that got my hopes up that it would be a permanent edition. But Ms. Gray has told us that it will only be for the weekend

I look Forward to seeing these more often and I hope it is not only for Canthan New Year. It would be a shame to have to wait one whole year to play Again.

GOOD JOB DEV TEAM! I have been having a blast!

Honestly, I can see why they wouldn't want minigames like this to be permanent. If the Dragon Arena, Snowball Fights, Rollerbeetle, and a possible other multitude of other event-based games were to be permanent, the amount of people taking part of each at any given point in time would be diluted. It would not only take away from the amount of people in each minigame, but from the total amount of people in PvE and PvP, thus thinning out the playerbase as a whole.

However, what I think they should do is open up one minigame every weekend, and only one. It could last just that weekend, like the special weekend events, or it could last a whole week, to give everyone a chance to play. This way, we never really lose it, but simply cycle through each game.
