Reving up with Mario Kart Wii
Mario Kart Wii has been one of the highest selling games on Nintendo’s console and with good reason. The Mario Kart series has consistently offered fast, exciting racing gameplay for both solo players and parties. The following few paragraphs will help you find some tips that might get you higher scores.
When you first load up the game, you’ll only have a few racers and vehicles available to you. By winning the various cups on different difficulties, you can unlock new drivers as well as higher quality carts and bikes.
Of course, the big question is whether to go with a cart or a motorcycle, as each have very specific capabilities. All vehicles in the game have varying statistics in speed, handling, and acceleration, but bikes and carts have unique qualities as well. Carts tend to have weaker handling than bikes, which can typically turn much more sharply, but carts also tend to have a higher top speed. The major difference between the two, however, is in respect to their mini boosts. When both bikes and carts do a power slide around a corner, but carts get a much more substantial boost than bikes. The tradeoff, though, is that bikes can perform a wheelie at the expense of maneuverability and gain extra speed on straight-aways.
Carts are ultimately better for drivers who are careful, but also aggressive. Being able to get to top speed and stay there while being able to push around weaker drivers and bikes is a central strategy, and hitting every power slide boost at corners will help them pull out in front. Bikes are better for drivers that prefer maneuverability and staying away from the fray. The faster acceleration of bikes means that, even though they get pushed around a lot more, they can get back up to speed and into the race much more quickly.
All racers in the game fall into one of three classes: light, medium and heavy. Any driver can always choose a cart in a heavier category, meaning that heavy drivers can only use heavy carts, medium drivers can use medium or heavy, and light racers can make use of all three. Although the carts and bikes each have subtle differences in their stats, the general rule of thumb is that light carts will accelerate quickly but have a lower top speed, heavy carts are the fastest but get up to speed much slower, and medium carts are well balanced. Furthermore, the weight of carts also plays a role in strength, as bigger carts can easily push around lighter carts. Bikes have very little power in this regard and can easily be muscled by carts.
When picking your driver, there are a few things to consider beyond their weight class. First of all, the drivers all have statistics that factor into their vehicle choice. Toad, for example, gets a bonus to his acceleration, while Bowser gets a speed bump and added weight. Compare drivers with vehicles to find a way to maximize their potential when mixed.
By unlocking the higher quality vehicles, efficiently mixing vehicles with drivers, and finding the play style that works for you, you’ll be leaving your friends in the dust in no time.
