"Mario kart Hints and Tips thread"

Well, I presume all of us now have the game or will do shortly so I just want to use this thread to post tips that you have with players and shortcuts on the levels etc. Post.

Look at the unlockables page on www.mkdd.co.uk has nice flow chart of what race unlocks what, just call me Mr Helpful.

What cups do you need to get gold on to get Toad? Is it Special 150cc?

Just how many Mario Kart threads are there now!

I'm pretty sure most of you already know this, but on Waluigi stadium, on one turning, there's something like the dheat with the lsat mario kart with wario's stadium, but more noticable. Doesn't look like it saves you a lot of time though, and you need to waste a boost...

On one track I forgot to press pause, came back 2 mins later and every power-up I got was a star .....

Also, on Yoshi's course, after the 2nd proper turn (there's one more before the tunnel) there's a little hump that elevates you above the water if you're going fast enough or if you have boosted. If you're not going fast enough, leave it, but otherwise it can shave a few seconds off your time and it leads you straight into the tunnel.

:)

Spikey shells = impossible to dodge.

And, also, i find that banana skins are the best method of protection.

Anyhoo, this one time i got hit 3 times in a lap by spikey shells.

Damn that Daisy cruise...

Yeah, this is where having one of the Koopas becomes very useful. They can get three green or three red shells as their special weapon, and as the red shells are coming towards you, all you have to do is fire one of your own shells backwards to prevent getting hit.

As long as you've stored your weapons wisely, you should quite easily be able to avoid getting hit too much.

I'm a little disappointted by the short-cut side of the game.
I believed there would be many more for me to find and conquer.

Also, have you noticed on 150cc that when you're first, the computer gets many, many, MANY red shells and spikey shells? They got rid of teh old computer speeding up thing and replaced it with a stupid amount of power-ups

Yeah, and I did it by mistake as well.

It was in multiplayer, and something distracted me, so I wasn't looking, and then I realised it was too late to save myself from going into the lava, so I just kept going, and ended up making it over.

How I laughed.
