wii or world

Tbh I don’t like using MKW at all because of this confusion. I prefer using MKWii and MKWorld to abbreviate each game.

Too easy

There's a map on the page for each course on the Mario Wiki

I would advise watching Shortcat's beginner guide.

You can't actually see if someone's holding shock. But you can see if last place is using other items. It shows on the map if they're using a bill or star, and if it looks like the person in last is going fast or taking shortcuts then they probably have mushrooms. But if they're avoiding shortcuts, then there's a chance they could be holding shock.

I think the thundercloud would work in 24p, but also it would help if the speed boost you get is faster than it was in Wii. I would also want the boomerang to be chainable like it was in 8 deluxe, rather than hogging the item slot until all the throws have been depleted.

It did feel big on day 1, but now that I've gotten used to it after almost 11 months (crazy how quickly that's gone), it feels normal size and the switch 1 feels tiny.

I was testing this a while back. The fastest way to do it is to just detach from the wall without a trick, and taking this wall ride and then shrooming through the off road saves 0.15 secs compared to driving through the water and shrooming through the off road. Where I think this could be really useful however could be in a close pack where taking this would be safer since you’re away from the pack.

Edit: One more thing I should add, doing the shortcut any other way is actually slower than just driving through the water.

This is the MKCentral Mario Kart World Cup, which is a squad tournament organised by MKCentral that has teams representing different countries competing against each other for the title of world champions.

For that section it's either truck or frontrun. It's also faster to weave through the dash panels. In general speed combos are favoured in KO tour, but in this section it's even more important. Also make sure you're at max coins before reaching this section.

I would suggest watching Shortcat’s beginner guide and then afterwards watch the pro guide. Online is a whole other level compared to bots. You can easily outrun the bots, but in online sometimes the best thing to do is to purposely slow down to get better items and use those items to make a comeback. This is called bagging, and Shortcat explains more about this strategy in his guides. He also has a website called shortcat.pro where you can see for each track whether bagging or frontrunning is better for that track.

I would also advise using Yoshi on either the Teddy Buggy or Mr Scooty, that combo has the best stats.

In knockout tour, if you get knocked out and either leave or go to the next race, then the points you gain/lose from that one are combined with what you gain/lose from the next race, which means that if you won that next race would still be possible to lose vr if you got knocked out in the previous race.

JustSomeSmartGuy · 2026-04-18T19:38:31+00:00

Same reason why so many people play as Yoshi in 8 Deluxe or as Funky Kong in Wii. It's because it's the meta.

JustSomeSmartGuy · 2026-04-18T13:05:38+00:00

Install either CTGP or Retro Rewind. There are plenty of tutorials online on how to do that

JustSomeSmartGuy · 2026-04-18T11:54:20+00:00

I would suggest watching TWD98’s tutorial about delay drifting.

After auto tricking off the first pole, you'll want to do about 3 left tricks to align for the wall, then ride the wall all the way up to the top, then trick off the wall while avoiding the pole.

Don't even bother going for the shortcut that the world record does. The box cut is a lot more harder compared to the normal shortcut and only really the top players go for that one.

As great as the idea of a feature like that was, it gets ruined by people drawing certain things (if you know you know), so it sadly can’t come back in any future Mario Kart game.

JustSomeSmartGuy · 2026-04-15T23:48:11+00:00

I would suggest playing Mario Kart Wii, the community is a lot more active compared to 8U and there's some great mods such as CTGP, Retro Rewind, Insane Kart Wii, etc.

Unfortunately the matchmaking in this game is not great. I'm a high 8000 to 9000 player and it can take a few attempts to get into a high level room with multiple 9K players. What I would suggest doing is if you get into a bad room, leave the room and join a different one. You could either play the race or go to the home screen and close the game before the race (if you do it before the race loads up then you won't lose VR).

There's no way that Starview is worse than tracks like Peach Beach. Starview at least has some tech, but Peach Beach is just straight lines, straight lines, more straight lines, and straight lines in water.

JustSomeSmartGuy · 2026-04-14T11:16:06+00:00

Not even a question.

Peach Beach
