Mario Kart Wii Hints

First, hold the accelerate button right after 2 fades away. Then, you should see a turn on the right, take it. Youwill become a lower place, but you will get a good item and usually be second right after the cannon.

When you fall into something, such as water or falling from rainbow road, when you land, if you hit 2 at the moment you hit the ground, you get a temporary boost.

When the countdown starts, wait until the "2" begins to disappear, then hold 2 to get a boost at the start of the race.

When the timer to begin the race just starts, hold 1 + 2. As soon as it is about to say "Go", release both buttons and press 2 as you would normally do to start the race. If done correctly, you will get a nice boost that will usually put you in first place in the 50cc and 100cc class. Note: This may require some practice.

When the countdown starts wait till the 2 starts to disappear and then press and hold the 2 button. So the 2 must still be visible but disappearing.
This will give you a boost at the start of the race.

Boost when recovering from a fall
When you fall into something, such as water or falling from rainbow road, when you land, if you hit 2 at the moment you hit the ground, you get a temporary boost.

If the sheel icon appears, you will need a bannana, triple bannana, red or green shell, or triple red or green shell equipped to block the shells.

After you pass the turn into the city, make a quick turnleft in your view but right on the map. Then after the next sharp turn you will see an alley in the buildings. It is dirt, so use an off roader for this. If you miss it on the 1st lap, try on the 2nd, and if you miss the 2nd try on the 3rd.

When you see the POW block on your screen and its about to hit you, just do the function you would normally use for a trick to create a shockwave for youself to become immune to the spin out the POW block creates (Control panel on GCN controller, Shaking Wii wheel, etc.). This can be done on both bikes and carts. Even though you don't loose speed or spin out, you still will loose the items you were carrying.

When You're just starting a race start pressing 2 right when the screen says 2 and you will get a boost when it starts. (This only sometimes works)

Press 2 When the 2 is begining to go away and
when you can barely see it press 2 and it will
give you a boost at the start, hope this works.;)

If you have unlocked the race track 'Dry Dry Ruins' on the bit where you come into the temple the sand and jumps bit.
On the last on if you are closest to the wall you will go around the corner and be 2 secs faster for time trials.
(MY TIMES IS: 00:56) for that glitch because I know the ultimate shortcut. Thanks for reading.

Saunders rules woot!

When you're just starting a race, start pressing 2 right when the screen says 2 and you will get a speed boost when the race starts. (This only happens sometimes.)

If you need a turbo but can't get one because there is no mystery box then shake the Wii Wheel and you will do a wheelie while getting a small boost.(This only works for Motercycles)

After u pass the hammocks space turn left or right to go that secrets locations.

Later the fall on ground touch time on will time press the button 2 to action the turbo.

First, make P1 choose the character you both want to be. Then unselect the character and move off of it. Move P2 over, and select the character. Go back one screen, then go into the character select again. You should both be on the same character. Both of you select the character. Do whatever you want from there on.

Note: In the character select screen and options, whenever one of you does an animation, both of you will. Also, if P2 chooses a different kind of vehicle than P1, P1 will look strange. Don't worry, this won't actually happen in the game.

I haven't tested this with P3 or P4 yet, but in theory, it should work.

SNES Ghost Valley 2: There's a turn where you go left, there are some item boxes spinning
in a circle, then you go right. Instead, when you're coming up on that turn, go straight.
There's a ledge. Do trick on it, and you'll be right on the other side. THIS ONLY WORKS ON
100CC+! YOU MUST DO A TRICK. DO THESE TWO THINGS OR YOU WILL FALL.
GCN DK Mountain: Once you get shot through the cannon, go on the ramps, make you're first
u-turn, then on the second u-turn, go up on you're left a little and then turn sharply to
the right. You should be able to soar right of the cliff/chasm. IT MAY NOT WORK AT FIRST
YOU NEED LOTS OF PRACTICE TO PERFECT IT. BE CAREFUL NOT TO HIT THE FENCE.
DK Summit: Similar to DK Mountain. After you get through those bumps/ramps you come to
that winding road with those cliffs. After the bumps, turn sharply to the right and,
again, soar over the cliff and skip part of that winding road. AGAIN, YOU MAY WANT TO GO
UP THE LEFT SIDE HILL A LITTLE TO GET A BOOST AND BEWARE OF THE FENCE.
Coco*** Mall: After the first set of escalators, go to the road on the right and will see
an opening into a store, if you have mushroom, take itand make your way through, it should
give you a decent lead. THIS ONLY WORKS WITH A MUSHROOM UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE SLOWED DOWN.
Wario's Gold Mine: Follow the mine cars filled with gold and you will find a secret path
that should get you ahead. DO NOT FOLLOW THE MINE CARS TO CLOSELY.
DS Delfino Sqaure: 1. When you get over the brige (NOT THE DRAWBRIDGE) and the water is on
you're left, you can fall off onto the dock and get an item box. BE CAREFUL NOT TO GO OFF
TOO EARLY. 2. On that same road, go to the if you have a mushroom into a muddy path and
come out on the other side. YOU SHOULD HAVE A MUSHROOM OR YOU WILL BE SLOWED DOWN. DO NOT
SPEED UP INTO THE WATER TURN SHARPLY TO THE RIGHT WHEN YOU COME OUT.
Daisy Circuit: In the beginning, right before you come out into the square with all the
fountains, look for a hidden stairway on you're right. It is slow getting up the stairs,
but you get an item box and an opportunity for a trick. THIS WORKS BETTER WITH A MUSHROOM
BUT IS STILL USEFUL W/O ONE.
Maple Treeway: At the VERY beginning go of to the right onto a path that will slow you
down at first. However, there are two speed ramps and you will come out in a good place
when you might have fallen to 12th on the path. You should get a good item to put you far
ahead from the others. DO NOT HOPE FOR A BULLET BILL. IT WON'T LAST LONG SINCE YOU ARE IN
A GOOD PLACE.

Hope this is Helpful!!!

1. Get a mushroom and save it. When a Blue Shell is coming, use it when the Blue Shell is about to hit you.

2. Go to a course that has a cannon (like Rainbow Road, DK Summit, Mayble Treeway). If a Blue Shell is coming to you and if you're near a cannon, stop wait for the Blue Shell to come. If it about to hit you go into the cannon and you should be fine.

3. This may be impossible to do. Go to Mayple Treeway, go to the place with the Wigglers and find a Star in a bush on the left side. Go to it and you're invincible; if a Blue Shell is coming and if you're in star mode, you're lucky.
P.S. Sometimes you find a Star on a different course if another racer drops it if they get hit by lightning or a bullet bill.

If you use ur mii to race, u will notice that things in the background will be changed to the face of one of the miis in ur mii plaza. (ex. On DK Summit, the wooden figure in the preview is usually mario, but if u race as ur mii, it will be the face of a mii in ur plaza.

Completing every single cup with a first place unlocks two new alternating Title Screens and one new Ending Photo.

First go on the game and go on start then slect profile ect then go on 1 player on wi-fi (only works 1 player) go on world wide(must be in UK) wait until u get 8-12
players minamum. (this only works with that many players) when unlocked bowser Jr and dry bowser and dry bones use any of those exept dry bones(dry bones needed and dry bowser and bowser Jr)now get either any bike or racer car.
now go try to go on mushroom cup first track (or any mushroom cup tracks, works better on first tho)now get a rubbish start and let the other people lap you then try to get in front and all you'll get is tripple mushrooms gold or bullet bill(or you can lap them it better for you to lap them but it harder) now save the triple mushrooms till first place and 1 lap in front then wen 3 spiney shells come (blue)use the mushrooms before blue shells hit you. then after you've done then hit a box on that track every time then you get triple mushrooms all the time but you have to go on same track then lap twice then you get on every track(only lap twice before you unlock triple mushroom on that track enjoy getting triple mushrooms its hard tho lapping people twice from around the world!
(p.s)(only them charcters work with triple mushrooms and only wi-fi works!)(dry bowser bowser JR and dry bones!) enjoy!!!!!

You can only do this if you have a mushroom when a blue shell is after you.
Just as the shell is about to hit you, use the mushroom and the shell will hit the ground, but you will escape unscaved!

*The front license plate on one of the trucks in Moonview Highway reads SMB3 (Super Mario Bros. 3).
*In wiggly portions of tracks such as the wiggling net in Maple Treeway, you can repeatedly do tricks in midair.
*When you use a bullet bill, the amount of time you turn into a bullet bill doesn't always stay the same.
*In the underwater tube in Koopa Cape, there are spinning shells that have electricity coming out of them. This is a possible reference to the Scatter Bombus in Metroid Prime, except they shrink you.
*Even though some obstacles don't hurt you and just bump you instead, they can be cleared with a starman.
*Mario Circuit is the track with more versions of itself than any other stage with 4 tracks (N64 Mario Raceway, Mario Circuit, GCN Mario Circuit and SNES Mairo Circuit 3).
*In Mario Kart Double Dash, the top of DK Mountain had a volcano, but in Mario Kart Wii, the top of DK Mountain (DK Summit) is ice-capped! What's up with that
*In Maple Treeway, the piles of leaves dont do anything theyre fun to drive through.
*A star that is probably STAFY follows Rosalina.
*When Peach is riding a bike instead of a car, she wears a shirt and pants instead of her dress.
*You can shoot shells backwards and you can also shoot banana peels and fake item boxes forward.
*Out of the 4 retro cups, the leaf cup is the only cup named after something thats not an obtainable item in the game.
*Some of the tracks are different than they were in the games they debuted in (aside from the graphics). For example, the pipe shortcut in Peach Beach is gone and cocon.uts no longer appear out of nowhere and hit you when you go into the gra.ss in the jungle portion of DKs jungle Parkway.
