Mario Kart 8: The 3 best tips
There are many tips and tricks for the game "Mario Kart 8" for the Wii U. We present the best of them in this practical tip so that you always land in the forefront.
Mario Kart 8 - use abbreviations
In "Mario Kart 8" there are again many abbreviations that you can use and thus win races more easily. Sometimes mushrooms are also necessary for the abbreviations, since jump ramps are often in the grass.
- Drive ahead to find all the abbreviations.
- Sometimes a green area (or similar) on the inside of the bend is enough to drive over and save time.
- Be careful: some abbreviations contain obstacles such as tubes (Mario-Kart stadium) or shells (water park). If you drive against it, you will be slowed down enormously.
- Drive against the "experts ghosts" to find helpful shortcuts or passages.
Mario Kart 8 - collect items with Mario
The developers donated some new items to "Mario Kart 8". You can now access a total of 20 of them. Some are of course a little less common and therefore more difficult to get.
- Stay in the back positions for the first two laps. There are the best items there. So you have more fun in the race.
- Use items like the triple green tank not only for attack, but also for defense. Incoming tanks or the like bounce off them.
