After spending a few days with Mario Kart Wii, I thought I’d take a moment or two to post only the answers to what I figure are some of the most common questions.
- Yes, the computer players “cheat.”
- 9th is actually your assigned position in 150cc and Mirror Cup modes. If you leave your position, you will be blue shelled.
- Everyone but you will get the bullet item. Consider it a miracle when you do receive it.
- I know, it happens to everyone. One time, I got POW blocked off a cliff, then blue shelled, then red shelled, then blue shelled again, and then hit with a lightening bolt. Top that. With video, please.
- The wheel is a lot of fun, admittedly, but competitive advantage goes to people with the nunchuk.
- I prefer the carts.
- I don’t know why the brought back the hop but not being able to “whistle” out of banana peels.
- Boosting onto the dock from the far side is really cool in Deflino Sqare. I love it, too.
- My Mii has a paunch, too. It also does the Captain Morgan stance if I win while on a bike.
- My friend code is: 1977-0675-5276. Email me or Twitter me (@Grayson) so I can friend you back.
- I know “friend” isn’t a verb. I could have said “befriend” but that doesn’t seem quite right in this context.
- Wii Rainbow Road really is one of the easier Rainbow Roads.
- I agree, it was a great track. I’d also like to see Toad Turnpike, Wario Stadium (GCN), and Daisy Cruiser. And let’s not forget Baby Park. Maybe they’re hidden somehow. I doubt it. Maybe we can purchase level packs later. I doubt that, too, though.
