Mario Kart Wii Cheats
How does one win in Mario Kart Wii? Well I don’t have guarantees that you’ll win, but I have some tips and tricks that can help you do a lot better racing.
Boost Tricks
Mini Boost While Starting Out
When you start in a race you’ll have a countdown. To get a mini-boost press the A button when the number 2 becomes solid looking.
Turning Corners…Drifting
Drifting is when you break and turn another direction. Not only does it help you maintain you speed and help you cut across those tight corners it can also give you a mini boost if you’re driving on manual.
Air Tricks
When ever you have the chance to get launched into the sky you should shake your wiimote to do a trick in the air. Now besides the fancy look it also gives you a speed boost once you land. Use it whenever you get the chance.
When You Fall…
If by some chance you fall from the road you’ll waste time recovering. Now that’s a downer as everybody will catch up to you, but it’s not the end of the world. When you get picked up and dropped to the ground, the moment you drop press the A button to get a mini boost.
Catching Up To Someone, The Gravity Pull
When you are behind someone you’ll get these blue sparks flying. If you stay behind them long enough, and the blue spark stays you get a boost that’ll send you flying past them, and maybe even people in front of them.
Don’t Go The Extra Mile
Now you don’t get a boost for this trick, but it is common sense. However it doesn’t really always work.
- If you were on the left side of a straight rode
- Your opponent is on the right side
- And you have to make a right turn
Who has to go extra? You do, because now you have to go the extra distance to turn right while your opponent gets even more ahead of you!
Item Tricks
When you are last place (or just close) you can get items that can help change the tides of the game. Some items like the bullet bill can help you get from 12th to 4th in one go
When You Are Winning
You should get things like bananas or 3 turtle shells that stays with you and protects you from enemy turtle shells, or other attacks.
Red Turtle Shells
Red shells are one of your best friends and worse enemies. They follow you, and there’s no way to lose them, except for one. To evade it you have to have a banana, or other turtle shells to get in the way and get hit to lose it.
Bullet Bill
Now there’s no way you can counter this, but just get out of the person’s way, but there is one way you can use this efficiently. In stages where things move slowly (like Mushroom Gorge), or dangerously use it to go full speed, while everybody has to be slow.
POW Block
The much hated block that can stop everyone, except the person who uses it. This can be easily avoided just by shaking your wiimote when it’s about to strike. Then go and enjoy being one of the few people that didn’t get stunned.
Blue Shell
Now we all hate the blue shell, especially if you’re first place so how do we avoid it? You can, but it’s going to be hard. The easiest way is to use the super star to protect you, but being first place that might not be always possible. The only way you can avoid it is to use a mini boost, just as it’s going to drop down on you.
