Finally picked up this game the other day and have been having a blast with it since. We're not going to talk about unlockables in this article, check out the upcoming unlockables article for that. I did want to cover some general Tips and Strategies to this game though and how you can increase your chances at coming in first place.
- To avoid getting hit by a red shell, Hold Left on the DPad. This will hold the item you currently have behind you and it will take the hit from the red shell instead of you. You could also just drop a banana behind you right before you get hit.
- To get a boost at the start of a race, wait until the number 2 is starting to disappear in the countdown. Quickly hit the 2 button and you should boost out in front of your opponents.
- If you ever fall into an obstacle, hit 2 as you land and you should get a boost out of it.
- To do a trick on a jump, just push in any direction on the DPad. I know this works on the classic controller.
- If you get splashed with oil, use a mushroom if you have one to make it go away faster.
Feel free to add any other tips in the comments below.
