Mario Kart (Wii): The 5 best tips

"Mario Kart" is a classic for Nintendo's Wii - with these tips you have the best chance of outpacing your opponents!

5. Mario Kart: Short boost after you leave the track

On the most difficult routes, "Mario Kart" can quickly cause you to fly off the route. A short boost helps you to stay connected:

After you are put back on the track, you can activate a short boost - you will not lose as much time.
To do this, press the [2] on the Wii mote as soon as the kart touches the track again - you have to be perfectly timed!

After a large ski jump, you can tilt the steering wheel to control the landing. Tilt the steering wheel forward to land on the bow. If you tilt the steering wheel towards your body, you tend to land on the rear.
The kart or bike should land on the track as straight as possible so that you can accelerate faster.

With a little trick you can find the best shortcuts and the shortest routes on a route.

Go to "unlocked ghost data" in the main menu. There you can race against the ghost data from the developers of "Mario Kart".
This ghost data is extremely difficult to beat, but it shows you the shortest routes - as long as you can keep up.

The cloud also has not only bad sides. You can also use them to make up a few places.

If the cloud hovers over your head, you can drive through uneven terrain such as grass and sand without losing speed.
You can take a small shortcut with this - but still try to pass the cloud on to an opponent as quickly as possible by ramming him.

You will be rewarded with boosts for particularly long drifts.

Press [1] and simultaneously steer in one direction to drift. The control must be set to "manual". You will not receive any boosts on automatic.
Drift in a curve until blue sparks spray from the tires.
If you end the drift, you will receive the mini turbo as a reward.
If you continue to drift until the blue sparks turn orange, you will receive the Super Mini Turbo as a reward. This takes a little longer than the mini turbo.
The Super Mini Turbo only works with karts, not with bikes.
