^ I just had tons of those non functioning weapon pads, during a tournament.
It was really annoying cause I avoided speed pads and did a few BRs knowing
that I would get a weapon, but didn't...
The nice part is that the same pads are affected, so if you can identify them
during the first lap, you "just" need to remember which ones are useless, for
the remaining laps.

Also had twice the super boost start, but it's not too bad because at the end of
the race, positions are going to be readjusted, it's an advantage for the first
player for sure (assuming he's the only one with the super boost) because he can
essentially race without being disturbed, but if you're a close 2nd you're going
to win the race!
