You are so so wrong.

The jumping shortcut on Rainbow Road is decent, difficult to pull off though. Wouldn't try it on wifi.

Q-HOW DO I HIT SOMEONE WITH LIGHTNING?
A-ONCE YOU OBTAIN A LIGHTNING ZAPPER, ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS BUMP THE RIDER OF YOUR CHOUSE TO ZAP THEM AND MAKE THEM SMALL.

Q-HOW DO I DO TRICKS ON MY KART DURING JUMPS?

I know they just like to tell a whole bunch of junk that's not true
If it was true they'd show a video

Not only is this off-topic, but no, the game doesn't suck. You don't like it, thats nice, but if you are looking at WiFi Connection, no, it's Mario Kart Wii, "for the win."

And I had got Rosalina after I won the Special Cup not by just having Super Mario Galaxy saved to my Wii, that would help in the confusion to specify. Because she's my girl and I like playing her most of the time!

actually, if u have galaxy, u get her either when u turn it on or after u beat one of the 50cc cups. otherwise, it's completely random.

Haha, no.

After those two circle roundabout things, there's that awkward corner... There's a place where you can jump it.

sry i was pissed when i bought it, skill is useless sometimes but its getting better... of course i still think brawl pwns MKW a million times...

Waky Wii · 07-09-2008, 11:16 PM

Don't think this has been mentioned, but if you fall off the track, and when that guy drops you, when your kart lands on the track immeadiatly press Acceleration. You should get a small boost. Timing is essential.

bowserjr63 · 07-10-2008, 01:44 AM

I have a quick question and i am new to this website so i will ask. I want to unlock the characters in time trial mode and it says that you need to unlock a certain number of expert ghosts and i only unlock fast ghosts. Are they the same thing.

nope way faster.

I always loved playing the old Mario Kart games without having the other racers in the races. It was fun to just have me and whoever I was playing on the track. Not the whole pack of racers. Is there anyway to play this way on Wii?
