Rubber-banding

The handicap given to CPUs in racing video games when one or more human players is ahead. This often plagues the less experienced human player, as they will be passed up by CPUs moving absurdly fast in an effort to maintain close proximity to the farther ahead human player.

Jordan is always so far ahead in Mario Kart that I need stars AND mushrooms just to match the speed that rubber-banding gives to the last place CPU.
