Tip #9 When you get zapped by the Lightning item, you Will become small, making you also become slow. Depending on which place you are in the race (1st, 2nd, 3rd) you will regain your full size more quickly or more slowly than other racers (1st place regaining full size last). If you regain full size before a racer around you, you can drive over them, which makes their vehicle stop!

Once you get the hang of it, you'll be able to go way faster and get those sweet pink boosts. -If you're getting the coin item from every item box, quit using the coin! If you hold onto it, your next item won't be a coin as you can't have two coin items at the same time. -When you're in first place, don't hold your items behind you until you know you need to because someone is trailing you or a shell is on its way. The blue shell won't take your item if you are just holding it. -If you're falling behind, trail the racer in front of you. You will get a large boost and race ahead of them!

Little tip about the coins; if you get a coin box it actually gives you 2 coins. When you collect 3 coins in a row in a race, you get a pretty nice boost. So when you have a coin block, drive into 1 (or more) coins and activate it right after hitting the coin. First I thought coin boxes where shit, but they provide some easy boosts.

Here's my 10 cents: in addition to being able to pull up or down when using gliders, you can also do the same thing without gliders when you're on a regular jump. Usually you want to come down as fast as you can because you're typically faster on the ground, however, especially with a lightweight character, you can sometimes take shortcuts and skip large sections of track if you pull up.

Tip #8, in 200cc BREAKING IS ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL! When they say breaking is highly recommend, they’re not kidding. It help when encountering tight turns that would normally be tolerable in 150cc. Bonus tip: Some turns in 200cc would require an even tighter turn; breaking while drifting doesn’t always work. The best way to get that sweet drift master turn is to not use the mini boast to speed up by letting go of A just when that tight turn comes. This is especially useful in rainbow road

A few things to add 1. You failed to mention that not all start boosts are the same. Getting closer to the perfect time will give you a longer boost, up to the equivalent of a mushroom. 2. You should have mentioned that some course drastically rely on the traction/grip stat. Such as Dolphin Shoals, Cheep Cheep Beach, and MooMoo Meadows. 3. A new feature in MK8 deluxe is that you can brake while drifting. Very important for 200 CC unless you are using Smart steering. 4. You can't use the Ultra Mini Turbo unless you have smart steering turned off. Actually, you didn't cover Smart Steering at all. It's a good feature for new players.

This is my tip: You can hold back on your drift by trying to turn in the opposite direction your drift is going to, if your drift is making you go to the left, try to go to the right, if your drift is making you go to the right, try to go to the left. This will make you turn slower on your drift so you can get drift on smaller turns, BUT it does make you get drift slower.

The type of boost you earn from drifting isn’t simply determined by the length of time you drift for. It’s also based on the sharpness of your turn. If you’re drifting left and steering left then you’ll obviously have a sharper turn heading left which decreases the time it takes to receive a better boost. If you’re drifting right but steering left then your turn won’t be as sharp and it will take longer for you to receive a better boost. The time required for the different boosts stated in the video only refer to if you’re drifting but not steering.

Do the time trials to optimize your lines. I've learned the courses really well and that helped me tons online. Take the inside turn ALWAYS! The outside may have booster plates, but it's still faster to take the inside. Grab the double item box whenever you can, ESPECIALLY when you're in first. It's a rarity that you'll get double coins. However, there's a huge chance one of those is a coin and the other is something you can defend yourself.

1 thing I've always wondered since gliders were added: Does weight have any influence on the effectiveness of gliders? I've been assuming lighter characters can stay in the air longer, while heavier characters might benefit more from diving and then pulling up.

@IapetosGaming 7 жыл бұрын

Geoffrey Perrin That isn't really important, because most of the time you want to get to the ground as soon as you can. But there are 2 types of gliders: acceleration and speed gliders. There is something called "Hidden Stats" for example Air Speed, Water Speed and so on. The acceleration glider has a bit more acceleration, which you can actually see, if you select one, but the speed gliders have more hidden stats in speed, so you are overall a little bit faster.

2:17 to 2:19 Tip #8 After going off the ramp you can preform a trick when going through the hoop. This can also be done on maps such as the Ski slope one.

In 200cc things are very different. Pick lightweight characters for high acc. Use the brake while drifting to keep in control, and drift on tight corner jumps. Aside from that, great vid!

number 2 is NOT true. For some trick ramps, if you trick instead of just keep drifting, you might hit the wall for going too fast. And by drifting more, you’ll get a larger boost. *in 200cc.

My brother was kind enough to let me borrow his system while he was home for the holidays. I was mostly stuck in my room sick, so he wanted me to have distraction. He also wanted me to play on his account so he’d get first place trophies for all the 50cc tournaments and half the 100cc tournaments, lol. I’m thinking I’ll see if I can get the system for my birthday (in May) , so I’m watching videos in the interim to improve more while I wait. Mwahahaha.

One tip in regard to the items, if you are holding a bomb and a red shell is on its way, let drop the bomb shortly before you anticipate the shell to hit you so you can get out of the blast radius before the bomb goes off. Also, holding the steering Joystick/button backwards will drop/throw items behind you and doing the same but forwards will throw the items in front of you.

Thanks for this. I asked for MK8D for christmas along with a Switch and BotW instead of Mario Odyssey for the sake of playing with my little brother on the switch. Personally for me a lack of depth and this game seeming like more of a party game you play with a bunch of friends made this game not seem worth the money, but seeing this amount of depth in a seemingly simple game will soften the blow a little.

You should also mention that MK8D is the first to have a tutorial section with lots of these tips. Tailgating and Drift brake included. I also think it's worth noting tricks for dodging the evil red shell 1. hugging the walls of the track and making super tight turns around obstacles will sometimes get it to crash 2. be a total jerk and simply move directly in front of another kart when the warning of impending doom appears. tips for dodging blue shell 1. "Music" box lol 2. A well timed mushroom

I haven't seen anyone mention this but in Mario Kart 8 deluxe speed is less important because drift boost got a huge buff and it's not listed on the stat menu but different parts have different drift or turbo as it's technically called the kart with the highest being biddybuggy and the kart with the lowest being p-wing (I know it's sad it's a nice kart) but that why so many time trials use biddybuggy which btw that's a good tip I saw someone mention that you should watch time trials and see what routes and techniques they use

My Tip would be: If you're in first place and get a coin, don't use it right away. When a Buu Huu takes your item, it will be the first in your inventory so you can protect your shell or whatever from Buu Huu's stealing it. Very good against upcoming redshells. Downside is you can get hit by a greenshell because there is no warning if one comes towards you.
