Shroom still works, I can confirm.
You need to bounce off that sand that comes out periodically.
If it's the one I'm thinking of, you've gotta bounce off of the sand geyser you see down below to get up to it.
I seem to be hitting it more consistently now by taking off from the top-most edge of the gliding ramp while holding back immediately and holding it the entire way down. I still haven't decide if it's worth the trouble but there are coins and (I think) another row of item boxes up there.Without bouncing off, I've been able to land on the upper level about 10% of the time. It's really a matter of attack angle on the last jump point, followed by a steady and up-nose gliding.

holy fuck this is the most frustrating game of all time
and I just played through F-Zero GX
MK8 blows it out of the fucking water
if I get hit by another bobomb -> green shell -> green shell combo in 150cc again I'm chucking this gamepad out the window
you mean you have to resize the Mii right?
The game is fun as hell, but I don't know why in this game they decided to restrict only one item per time, specially having a single coin as an item, this makes even more difficult to maintain the first place.

Mario Kart Wii is a game for gamers who hate themselves. It is a pathologically cruel experience where skill and competence are punished and regular enjoyment can only be found in being rewarded for sub-par play. Hopes... dreams... all will be culled by Mario Kart's remorseless and gaping maw.
It will start with a whisper. An excellent performance on your first two laps around one of Mario Kart Wii's 32 tracks will see your titular karter far out in the lead, but the all-knowing eye is already upon you. The blue shell will slice through the air and collide with you in mid-jump over a crevasse. You will be plucked, disoriented, from the depths and deposited back onto the track, only to hear your Remote wail loudly as the first of three consecutive red shells catches up to you. With your triple-banana defense neutralized by the blue shell's assault, the pummeling will be merciless.
The first racer to catch up will blow you off the course proper as he soars from 12th to 1st place as an enormous bullet. Now marooned in the deep grass at the side of the road, your slow attempt to recover will be stymied by a star-user cutting a corner and a giant-mushroom-user out for blood. Before you know what happens, you're in 11th place. You may snag a triple-mushroom and hold onto it for mere seconds before the 12th place racer uses a lightning bolt to rob you of your only chance to survivebarreling over your now-miniature form as a final insult.

I've seen them drop bananas onto coins with such precision that I couldn't tell where the banana started and the coin ended. It made me want to cry150cc is cpu human mode. The things they do to keep you from getting first...
Oop.?Honestly, fuck every single one of you that just hit me on Moo Moo Meadows, all six of you.
Did the person behind me really get triple red shells twice that round.
jesus
I thought thecharacters were the best to pick, not theheavy-weight?superheavy-weights
I haven't decided either. It's mainly coins, and I *think* a potential extra jump (i.e. a boost) when jumping off that upper level, but that's about it. All the slow gliding it takes to get to that upper level (from the right-hand side course) practically negate any potential time gains from that upper level.I seem to be hitting it more consistently now by taking off from the top-most edge of the gliding ramp while holding back immediately and holding it the entire way down.

Sigh, wish I were thereHonestly, fuck every single one of you that just hit me on Moo Moo Meadows, all six of you.
OK, I couldn't remember for sure if there were items or not. the turn is slightly easier to navigate but it's just too slow getting there like you said. The more skilled players will be able to do the dip and then rise technique like the ones who can reach that MK7 RR shortcut without a mushroom but I'm not there yet :/I haven't decided either.

I'm still struggling to cope with controlling my vehicle while in anti-grav. My mind and eyes start bending to keep up with the twist in the track and my driving goes all wonky.
If I'm driving along the side of a left-hand wall and I want to move right a little, do I move the analogue stick right (as you would on flat ground) or down to reflect the change in angle? Don't know if I've explained that well. I've bumbled along so far without knowing how to manoeuvre these sections.
You see... I don't agree with a lot of this since acceleration is generally quite good to have online against others. These pointers seem great for time trials where acceleration is not needed and generally Max speed is required. I still go for speed>acceleration since I like to think I'm fairly good at the game and don't get hit too much but don't put all hope onto speed. Maybe I'll join the GAF tournament at some point...The gitGUD MLG guide

+Mii *if they're set to tallest and roundest

Pick a strong setup-
+Circuit Special for kart / Yoshi for bike
+Button wheels
+Cloud glider
Note; There are various pieces of equipment that look different and have the same stats and should corner the same, so use whatever you prefer.
Tips-
- Racing lines
Consider the majority of the track to be lava and corner as tightly as possible while acquiring at least a blue boost if you can. Try to gather 10 coins when the coins are in the racing line. Additional coins provide tiny extra boosts I think.
- Item efficiency
There's no reason to use them at anytime before the next item boxes unless you're in a tight spot and absolutely need to or think it's a good risk to take. Try to defend yourself as often as possible with items from people behind or save it.
Possible questions-
Q: I'm not doing any better?
A: Go into time trial and practice beating the ghosts. You should be able to beat them all by several seconds comfortably as you get better.
Q: Why is this good?
A: It's a good balance between speed and acceleration and so is reliable to produce a good place finish quite often. Acceleration with these 2 builds hit the sweet spot of 3 and 4 respectively ensuring you get full benefits.
Q: But my slicks are faster!?
A: Slicks are so fast to the point where you can widen the gap too easily and trigger the blue shell easier to the point where you might eat 2 in one race. Get hit at a bad spot and the acceleration will cost you the race. This might not be a problem if the entire room is very good though.
Q: I played as good as I could and didn't win once in 10 races while some bad setup won!
A: Mario Kart
Q: But I've found a setup that works better than yours?
A: These are just my personal findings. Have fun!
I hope this is helpful.
I love how everybody says their using tilt controls, and there's owl in the back with that "no fun allowed" face
If you meanUnless there's one I'm not aware of.Kong, Waluigi, Rosa and Roy, then they have wasted stats with any acceleration based build I try to put together, 4.25 or 3.25 etc.

Is this a race or a time trial?
