1.) Always drift around corners. You should never try to turn more than like 30 degrees without drifting. Turning without drifting should be for making small adjustments only.
2.) Hug corners tightly. Racing is all about taking the shortest path. Take the insides of every turn.
3.) Those boost panels in Mario Kart Stadium are a beginner's trap. Sure, you get a temporary increase in speed, but you end up taking a much worse racing line because they're on the outside of the corner.
4.) When you have boosting items like stars or mushrooms, use them to go off-road and cut corners, if you can.
5.) The boost at the beginning is triggered by starting to hold A in the middle of the countdown, during 2. Like, right in the middle of 2's appearance.
As for characters, there's not really any "best combo", since there are always trade-offs in your stats. If you're getting hit a lot, prioritize acceleration, if you're not good at turning/drifting preemptively, take handling, etc. |
Already said everthing I would also say.
For character, you should keep the weight in mind, heavy and big characters can push lighter driver away while driving in to them. If you go for a fast driver, you have to sacrafice accelaration, so everytime you get hit or slow down, you need longer to reach your speed. So, most experienced driver will take this one if you want to get the best time. I play as a light character most of the time for these kind of races which has really good handling and grip for taking tight curves very easily. I also can go back on track really fast after being hit, because of accelaration.. Drifting is key for me.
