Rubber Banding in Competitive Games

The game mechanics and AI adjusts to the players ability.

"If you are doing well, the competition starts doing well. If you are sucking badly, so do they. That way, you always have a race on your hands—regardless of whether you're in first, the middle of the pack, or in back." - Dave Mark

What games use it and how?

Mario Kart: Double Dash (Source: http://intrinsicalgorithm.com/post-playem/2007/11/mario-kart-double-dash/)

If you are in the back of the pack, you can plan on getting better “stuff” from the boxes. If you are in last, you will be fed a steady diet of mushrooms, stars, lightning bolts and blue shells. If you are in front, however, expect to get green shells, fake blocks and the occasional potassium fix from bananas. It should come as no surprise, therefore, that the AI racers in the back of the pack are the ones getting the lightning bolts and the blue shells.

Split/Second (Source: http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/DaveMark/20100602/87445/RubberBanding_as_a_Design_Requirement.php)

The game is, on the surface, a racing game. However, in a mechanism borrowed from the aforementioned Mario Kart, the gameplay heavily revolves around "power plays". These involve triggering things like exploding cars alongside the road, crumbling buildings, and helicopters dispensing explosives. You can even trigger massive changes for your foes like changing the route entirely.
