Gaming ATTN: All Mario Kart Wii players!!!

[King Zargo]

When I play online i see that lots of players don't use the quick recovery after the getting hit by the POW block. Its you can execute it by pressing up on the D-pad(Game Cube controller).

I hope this will make online play more exciting.

can you explain how this helps. as after getting hit with a POW block you lose all your items :S

 

[King Zargo]

Reasons why this helps.
- After being hit you will remain your original speed
- If you are first place, drivers behind you will lose there weapons.
- You can over take a player who doesn't use this.
- You will win more matches.

I... don't understand

Are you saying this is a way of avoiding spinning out from the POW block?

 

[King Zargo]

Its a quick recovery saves like 5 sec. You will spin once instead of 5 times and will remain your speed afterwards.

And for people using anything but the GC-controller?

 

[rjcrjc]

Ah, nice! Thanks for the tip

I've been trying to hop just as the POW block hits, but it doesnt work

up on the d-pad is the mapping for stunts , so i guess that shaking the remote/wheel like doing a stunt will do..

thanks for the tip!

i dont' get it... the up button for classic controller is doing a wheelie when ur using a motorcycle

On gamecube controller Up is also wheelie. Just press up when your about to get hit by POW-blocks. Or shake it on wii-mote.

 

[esteefyou]

so does this only work for motorcycles?

you can hope to avoid them completely but it's hard!! only managed it a couple of times.

 

[MelonSmasher]

I use it alot ,its a big advance in online battle(if the others dont use it) just shake your wiimote and you will avoid the pow.

 

[King Zargo]

Nope, kart's and bikes both.

 

[Warren_303]

Thanks for the tip. I'll try it out.

 

[kedest]

Thanks, I'll definitely try this. It should give a nice advantage as all other players will be affected by it

 

[lou_weed]

thanks a lot for the tip , i used it a lot yesterday, and it sure handled the difference between staying 1st and coming 3rd... :-)

by the way , how do i drag a green shell/single banana behind me (saw some players doing it).

keep your item button pressed down

Some says jumping threee times with a good synchro will completely prevent the pow block making you spin.

Don't know if it works or not.

Just use the D-pad, no need to jump around
