If you have attempted multiplayer Mario Kart Wii over WiFi, then you will stand with us when we say that it’s one of the best online gaming experiences you will ever share in this lifetime.  The thrill of participating opposite fellow players and racing with them throughout several tracks is truly breathtaking.

So how fun is a multiplayer game of Mario Kart Wii?

Imagine this : you’re driving Mario’s favourite go kart-style racer, and you’re lagging at second position on the final lap.  You are increasing speed, and the player in pole position is in view.  You know you are going to be able to pip them on the next bend, as fast turn drifts are your fave moves.  The bend comes,  you’re right at their tail.  You increase the gas and reverse at the same time.  You spin the wheel and drift right past the enemy.

Such is the fun that may be had in a multiplayer game of Mario Kart Wii.  You won’t be playing against the PC AI.  You will be playing against live folks from widespread regions of the world.  They’re living, breathing, cognitive players who will react in turn to the scenarios encountered by each round.  This makes every game harder, and ultimately, more fulfilling.

Do you want to become a master Mario Kart Wii player?  These are a collection of tips which will help you enhance your game:

- Practice the ‘rocket start.’ This is a staple of each and every Mario Kart game. Successfully performing the rocket start will give you an early advantage in the race.  To pull off the rocket start, press the accelerator button as quickly as the timer counts down to 2.  You want to perfect your timing though, as being inaccurate for a mere millisecond will downplay the move.

- Collisions are bad.  As much as practical, avoid smashing into other racers as this will reduce your speed and it will take time before you build up to your peak once more.  Instead of racing side by side with another player, try and trail them, so you’d know where they are.  Then overtake your opponent when your boost power is prepared.  By doing this, you’ll be way ahead of them and out of collision range when the boost wears off.

- Either learn how to drift or find out how to ease off the accelerator button.  Most players are just impatient.  They want to step on the acceleration at most times and run over each obstacle in a course, including walls on bends.  However, you won’t be able to pull off most turns at top speed.  You will have to learn how to drift or relent with the accelerator button to slow you down a tad, enough to pull off the sharp turns found in Mario Kart Wii.
