Driving Techniques - Nintendo Wii mario kart Mode D'emploi

Driving Techniques

Here are some tips to help you improve your driving skills! There are two types
of vehicles that you can choose from, karts and bikes, and each has its own
driving techniques.
The explanations for these techniques use the Wii Wheel control scheme.
When using the Wii Wheel, is the acceleration button. If using any
other control scheme, please refer to the control layouts on page 4 for the
corresponding button.
Rocket Start
Press and hold at just the right time
during the countdown to rev up your
engine and give yourself a burst of
speed off the starting line.
Drifting
Drifting lets you take sharp corners
without slowing down. To drift, press
while holding when turning to slide
sideways. Also, while drifting, you can
change your direction by turning
* If you select Automatic Drift, you can
drift by using just .
Mini-Turbo
After drifting for a bit, sparks will fly
from your tires. Release when blue

Super Mini-Turbo
Continue to drift after the blue
flames appear, and they will turn
orange. Release at this point to
activate a bigger boost of speed, also
called a Super Mini-Turbo.

Manual and you are driving a kart.
Trick
.
Shake the Wii Wheel up, down, left,
or right as you leave a platform
to perform a trick in the air.
Successful tricks give you a short
speed boost when you land.
Wheelie
Tilt the Wii Wheel up when riding a
bike to perform a wheelie and get
a speed boost. Be careful, though,
because it's more difficult to turn
when doing a wheelie, and if another
vehicle hits you during your wheelie,
you'll slow down and lose control. To
exit the wheelie, simply push your
Wii Wheel back down.
* You can only perform wheelies
when driving a bike.
Items
Pick up items in a race to perform various actions.
* During team battles (page 13), your items won't affect your teammates.
Getting Items
Pass through item blocks to pick them up.
The item you get is randomly determined.
If you already have an item, you can't pick up another
one. However, if you equip an item, you can pick up
another one.
Using Items
Use items by pressing .
Equipping Items
You can equip certain items. When an item is
equipped, it acts like a shield. Items like Triple
Bananas can be equipped by pressing
others, like the Banana, will only stay equipped for
as long as you hold .
Throwing Items
You can throw some items backward or forward. To throw an item forward, press
. To throw it behind you, press
* When using controllers other than the Wii Wheel, throw items forward by
pressing the button to use items while pressing the Control Stick forward.
You might drop an item if you flip or spin out. If
you drive over a dropped item, you will feel its
effects immediately.
