At this point if I'm the 1st biker across the finish line it feels like a win and if I finish 1st ahead of all the fire-hoppers it feels even better than a win ^_^

I'm on GMT timezone (though sometimes my scheduale gets upside down).
Got the game a few days ago, just finished playing all tracks offline today, so I should be starting playing the game online tomorrow and foward.

I just started playing and it's been a long time since I've touched Mario Kart.
A few questions, sorry if they're stupid:
How do you time boost at the start of a race? When the lights go green you tap the throttle or what?
If you get a homing item like a red shell, can you shoot it backwards and have it track the person behind you?
I assume that jumping off of ramps at the right time does actually boost your speed a bit due to the flames popping off from the exhaust, right?
Thanks!

Some people watch Lakitu's lights or listen for the beeps. I personally find the easiest way is to just watch the numbers that appear in the middle of the screen. They'll kind of appear as coming down, settling, then disappearing. Hold the accelerator right after the number 2 settles (or whatever the equivalent is with the other two methods). If you do it too early you'll burn out, too late and you'll get less of a boost.
No.
If you're talking about tricking, then yeah, you get a small boost. Though sometimes it's actually faster not to trick, as the airtime can offset the boost. A general rule of thumb (there are exceptions) is not to trick off of ramps that are giving you a boost automatically (the yellow, zippy ones), but to do it on normal ramps (wooden ones and the like). Except if you're coming directly out of a red mini-turbo or using a shroom or something.
tl:dr:
Hold the gas after the 2
No

Someone thinks they're slick placing the banana on the jump panel/
Not me :O
GGs guys.
Don't worry about it. It's a silly rule, like having to wear pants on the train. People need to loosen up!
