I thought golden shrooms were horrible to get at first but once I got used to not spamming them I don't have much trouble with them anymore. You just have to get used to only shrooming in "safe" stretches and shortcuts and stuff and not worry too much about how much boost you get out of your golden shroom.

EDIT: And once you get better at lining things up there are a lot of safe spots.

The point is it's a item that holds your slot with a timer, so when you get it you get both an item with very limited useabilty and a lock that almost garentees you'll miss the next line of items. In other words, that item is now like getting 2 coin items in a row except for on a few levels. It's just stupid.

Remember when the two of us were all like "lol use all the mushrooms because thrill seeking is the best" way back when?

Yeah, not anymore. :lol

Take turns like you normally do and tap the B button, just tap it.
Except on Neo Bowser City. The second U turn almost always needs a full brake

Oidisco said:
You can also try letting go of A instead of pressing B. You'll slow down a little slower and you'll lose the mini-turbo from drifting, which can help

got it! Braking makes me totally reconsider the way I used to play this game which is a nice surprise once you start to get the hang of it!

Azure J · Apr 25, 2015

Wow, I just noticed thanks to the last boost and glider section I did on RR64, you can see the Super Bell Subway line running over ground if you look in the distance to the bottom left.

Oh, one last tip, I swear!

Don't always go for tricks. They can make you lose control for a little too long and cause to go offcourse or into items much more easily in 200cc

SOOOOO CLOSE to a top 3 finish on Baby Park

Oh? From my experience it's only a few levels where I *don't* get to usually get a lot of boosts out of my golden. Also, I usually missed the next item boxes when I got a golden in 150cc anyways.

How much handling do you have?

Papercuts · Apr 25, 2015

Perfect example of the golden mushroom sucking just happened to me on RR64. Guy in front of me got bulletbill(which is significantly faster than you boosting with this already) and my shroom ran out right after the item boxes as everyone get another round of mushrooms and shells, leaving me defenseless and slow. It's incredibly annoying since it lasts just long enough on a lot of stages to make this happen, and in a 3 part track like RR you can't do anything to catch up.

mmmmmh that's what i figured! I always seem to go off the tracks after some tricks

thanks for the advice. Sometimes less is more, uh?

MrPanic · Apr 25, 2015

At least Baby Park is a lot more enjoyable on normal without all those stars and bills.

DaBoss · Apr 25, 2015

Shouldn't have used my red shell. Oh well.

You're all welcome for the fireballs.

Papercuts · Apr 25, 2015

wow

The end of that animal crossing lap was a mess.

Oidisco · Apr 25, 2015

Did I hit someone in mid-air by throwing a Banana? I think I did and that's awesome!

PyroPaperPlanes · Apr 25, 2015

Gah! Double rear fireball at the end. I'll get you next time DaBoss.

DooD1234 · Apr 25, 2015

I got fucked over by Mr. Resetti again. Fuck you. Spawn in front if me.

Grizzo · Apr 25, 2015

Fuck those fruits on the Animal Crossing track

daripad · Apr 25, 2015

Whoever threw the blue shell: I hate you

Azure J · Apr 25, 2015

I am experiencing the absolute worst kind of Mario Kart right now.

MrPanic · Apr 25, 2015

I was just wondering, does shells only feature the blue shell?

Sorry, one very super last tip!

You should use a lightweight character when starting off 200cc. They have much better handling. Speed isn't a big issue either, so karts with good handling is a must.

Used the star at the perfect timing to avoid Thor's wrath, but completely fuck up getting to the double glider sections on Cheese Land.

how the hell are you supposed to recover from that hangliding section in Cheeseland? The one with the sharp left turn and the chain chomp nearby

daripad · Apr 25, 2015

yeah I guess I'm gonna have to say goodbye to my main guy Wario

I might as well join the female villager brigade.

Grizzo said:

Once you get used to it you could go back to him, just back a slower kart with better handling.

DaBoss · Apr 25, 2015

But the reverse is also true. If you can get a handle of 200cc with a heavy character, then you would be golden with the rest of the characters.

Omnicent · Apr 25, 2015

Grizzo said:

yeah its rough. I usually run Morton, but not on 200cc.

MrPanic · Apr 25, 2015

Confession time, this is the first time I saw that glider shortcut on sherbet land. Here I thought I knew everything of this game.

DaBoss · Apr 25, 2015

I was scared when the blooper showed up.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

Dragon Driftway isn't a complete death trap for me anymore!

PyroPaperPlanes · Apr 25, 2015

Gahhh! I tried so hard to avoid that banana in the end.

Papercuts · Apr 25, 2015

I thought I lucked out with the star into triple shrooms until a bullet bill whizzed by.

You land as soon as you can at a good angle and start your drift immediately. If you do it right you won't even have to brake, but starting off you probably will have to brake a little.

Oidisco · Apr 25, 2015

oof, that was a close one

DaBoss · Apr 25, 2015

Hmm, not really sure what I did on the boost pads. Made me lose control.
