I Got Mario Cart for Wii

My girlfriend bought me Mario Cart for wii for my birthday yesterday.  Now, I'm not a big gamer, I really only play Rockband once in a while when me and my girlfriends get drunk. 

I hear a lot of talk about Mario Cart.  What all can you do with this game?  Can't you unlock stuff or something?

    well that `s beast!!!
  • I get the feeling you'll like this game, especially given the Wi-Fi compatability.
  • I have yet to play it online, is it better online?
  • This game rules. I havent had time to play lately but I will get back to it sooner or later. The online is just fun because we can race each other.
  • I think I might still have a spare strategy guide too if that interests you at all.

    yeah racing on line is a ton of fun. I actually raced 10 thousand races already

  • do you have to add people to play online?
  • yeah you have to exchange friend codes and add each other
  • Mario Kart is an excellent game Jared, you'll enjoy it (even if you're not much of a gamer). The controls are quite innovative as well. Have fun image
  • Well, I've been playing it for 2 days now, and it's fun.  I have that WiFi hookup, but I'm not sure how to hook it up.  I'll have to figure that out. 

    The one thing that pisses me off though, is there any way to block other people who are about to hit you with something?  I'll be cruising along in first place, then outta nowhere someone will hit me with a shell or that stupid lightning bolt.  It lets you know it's coming, so is there something I can do?

  • Nope...



    And Non0gamers think it`s more fun then it is....image



    Grrr....Wii.



    Anyone play Halo 3 online? It`s beast.

    yes you can block green and red shells, by holding a shell or banana behind you...

    let me get your friend code, mine is in my signature...

  • I like Mario Kart games but i'm with buk fitty wii sucks.
  • Like nes king says, you can block by dragging shells or bananas. Also don't forget that you can throw items forward or backward, so if somebody is riding your ass you can hit them with a shell.



    It's also possible to dodge the spike shells if you're in first, but you have to be carrying a mushroom boost and use it with perfect timing.
  • And don`t forget, Xbox 360 killz it, On Mario kart, EVERYONE`s a newb.....

    how do you throw the shells backwards?
  • If you hold the "use item" button you'll trail the item behind you.

    Then, if you hold the down arrow when you release, it will shoot backwards...at least I think it does. It might just drop it statically on the track. Either way, if somebody is riding your tail they'll be hit.
  • yeah you can use the bannas, shells and question block to block shells , the pow if you shake the remote right before the 3 warning you will spin once and continue. lighting strikes your pretty much screwed. the blue shell the only way to avoid it and it takes a lot of practice. slam the brakes as its falling and go backwards, or use the mushroom burst. but its hard.
  • ^^ the question block wont protect you from a shell, but you can drag and drop it.
  • ^^^ that's correct.
