You are acting like MKWii doesn't employ these skills. In order to get first place you have to use your items well in MKWii, especially considering the onslaught of items that could possibly be coming towards you. MKWii also has shortcuts, as that is the thing I feel you may be referring to in the bolded. It's pretty vague, so please expand. |
Mario Kart Wii did have shortcuts but 99% of the time they did not matter because you would get hit by something anyway. Where in Mario Kart 8 deadly items are far more rare which makes actual racing more of a determination of position not just getting lucky items.
