I didn't play my best either. I'll be honest. There's less margin for error against human players than against the bots.

I'm the one that was kind of rubbish. LOL I got caught in the middle of the pack and kept getting nailed with everything. Every power up I got was the the thunder cloud. Grrr. I always use the wheel. A bad day and bad luck. The secret to 3 star rankings is playing the GPs over and over. I think it's based on your time more than anything else. Don't go offroad either. This definitely affects your ranking. This means no going through the water in Shy Guy Beach as well. You should have no problem getting them. Last week I wasn't quite as rubbishy and came in 3rd. You were 2nd. It's just a matter of being pretty good and very stubborn.

 

Lol. I have had a few such experiences. I often describe Mario Kart as a rat race. If you can start off well and escape the majority of the pack you will have a life (race) of relative comfort. However, get caught in the middle of the pack and your life (race) will be very rough no matter how good you are and escaping the rat race can prove a near impossible task.

Very very true. The longer courses also help. Luigi Circuit and Moo Moo 1 mistake = disaster (especially if its a blue shell). And if you got someone behind you who knows whats going on (and has reds), after a blue shell (or pow) you can get up to 3 reds on you. This is killer :P

BTW thunder is stupid, worst item idea ever.

I kind of like the thunder cloud ...its like a ticking bomb you got strap on you it gives you a boost so you have to tag someone or your the one thats fucked ..... getting it in second place while first player is so far ahead is a bitch tho .

 

@ Tuoyo no secrets really just stay on the course I didn't take any of the shortcuts either , try not to fall down levels like rainbow or wario mine , tho i did fall down 1 time in both still got 3star. Its random as hell in my opinion. I finally got it using the Funky Kong/ Flame bike combo since heavy character are harder to knock off course .



I have it and your better off using the wheel because it actually makes it quite easier.............   Its really cool u get to unlock carachters and do battles its really enjoyable!



Its a theif in the night 2 cum and grab u -Disturbia  I want 2 go out every night oh i want 2 dance under the disco lights -Discolights Dancing is my game and nobody can beat me Singing is my life ill blow u off that stage!

quick question ...when u get hit by a red shell or blue shell is it better to just hold down the gas and pop a wheelie right away ? Or hold down gas and brake to get that mini boost ? Every time I race online I see ppl get hit they immediately go for that mini boost right after getting hit by a blue shell, while I just hold gas and pop a wheelie .

I just hold go, I have tried the standing boost in some situations though.... not sure what is faster in a straight line.

Apparently you are meant to build up some speed before doing a wheelie as wheelie slows down your acceleration or something.  Not sure how true that is.  As for gas and brake mini boost I never even knew it existed.

I'm actually doing decent at MKWii, I already have three stars, and I have about 8500vr points. but when I got the game I was going to use the Wheel but I just had to switch to the Cube controller.

This thread is much smaller than the SSBB thread. But more copies of this game have been sold.



^ Thats because SSBB is better.
