Cheers Budgio, some great tips there.

How do you get off the start line quickly? I understand its all down to the timing of when you hold the accellerator (shortly after the 2 count), but is there an art to it? or is it just good judgement?

Also, which Kart's do you use? I only really get on with the top kart in the list, with decent ish top speed, accelleration and handling. Sometimes I try the faster karts, with poor handling, but I don't seem very quick with them.

Cheers,

Chris.

From what ive seen the best players online use a gamecube or classic controller in manual mode.

I usually pick a small kart and either mario or toad/ette.The fast start is better with a vehicle with high acceleration.

As it counts down press and hold accelerate just after the 2 appears,its all about timing.
Characters can be unlocked just by playing online,you dont have to win races you just have to beat other players...the more you beat the quicker you get the unlocks.

I just use the nunchucks.. bit weird but not bad
Think Mossy & co use the old traditional control and reckon its the best

[Northy]

Which one?

I believe a gamecube controller also works, they are on ebay for peanuts really.

I personally use the nunchuck and wii remote. I get on ok with it.

I find the gamecube controller works best.

Currently upto 8513 points
I will be online over the weekend if anyone wants a thrashing

[Northy]

Oooooohhh, interesting, I haven't bought another controller yet, but am struggling with the bloody wheel

I might look at one of those if you think it's better?

Official original handsets were in asda at £14.99, cheapest i had seen a genuine one

Nunchuck mode is best for me with std parts, not got the gamecube one yet though. I really must try this online.

PS I keep trying manual mode but there is just no turn in and TBH I'm crap at it, is it essential to get really good?

I've never tried it on auto drift, but with manual, I find myself making loads of time up against other guys online. That's only because of the speed boost you get when you come out of the drift.
