hey guys it's lexan and today i'll be
going over five tips that will make you
instantly better at mario kart or mario
kart wii lounge
most of these tips can literally be
implemented right away so i do just want
to preface that these tips are mostly
meant for some of the lower tier or
beginner players so if you've been
playing for a while you probably know
all this information but i just wanted
to get that out of the way so let's get
started
okay so everybody knows that shock
becomes available in the roulette at 30
seconds and if you didn't
well now you do
shocks also have a 30 second cooldown
period meaning the shock will only be
available in the roulette again 30
seconds after its most recent use
knowing this we can take advantage and
prepare ourselves to expect the next
shock the important thing that many
newer players don't do is uh is not
checking your timer at every shock
knowing when the shock becomes available
allows you to better predict where the
shock
will be activated next
otherwise you might just be predicting
too late or too early as to when the
shock will be used so combine this with
knowing where every box set is on the
minimap and you'll be able to better
predict shocks that happen on each
course it also allows you to bag and
last a lot better so you can start
hitting boxes
at the correct times
one of the most brutal things about this
game is the lag
for some it can be advantageous and for
most it can be a real detriment to their
play doing what are you doing
what am i doing what's your bill
your bill
it ended like 10 seconds ago i don't
even know
if you feel that you are constantly
disconnecting always being lag bumped or
having awful lag starts each race
then i have some solutions to remedy
your situation
all right so the first method is to
actually
get new internet now i know this is a
pretty complex solution um could be
expensive time consuming and possibly
not something that's available to you
right now but i do just want to preface
it and put it in just because it is the
best option
to reduce the amount of lag in this game
but i do have two more solutions so
second is upgrading if you are having
issues with lag and you are actually
playing on the wii i would actually
recommend switching over to the wii u
the wii u has better hardware and a
better wi-fi connection than its
predecessor
and it's actually the solution i used to
stop randomly dc'ing uh when i played so
it's been a life saver in competitive
matches and the graphics are also better
lastly the cheapest way to improve your
connection is to actually switch over to
a wired connection
wired connections are stronger and more
reliable than wireless connections
especially in the cases for mario kart
wii as most of us are playing on
consoles that are over a decade old
land adapters for the wii and cat cables
are easy to find on amazon or any type
of home appliance store
this is the one i use and i've had no
issues you can find a link in the
description for this one but any we land
adapter should work
even if you don't have lag or internet
issues on mario kart i would still
recommend everyone switches over to a
wired connection it'll just improve on
what you already have so i definitely
recommend it

one of the best ways to extend a lead
that you already have is by utilizing
effective backspam and the most
effective backspam is the type that you
do not see coming if your backspin looks
like this
then you are doing it wrong not to say
you can't backspin like this but there
is a time and place for it the general
rule of thumb for good backspam is to
place them in spots where players will
have the least amount of reaction time
blind spots and blind turns are the best
for this as the only way to avoid the
backspin would be to go wide around the
turn or to take a slower line
there are too many great trap spots to
cover in this video alone on top of
blind spots you want to aim to trap
landings shortcuts and narrow paths
again there are plethora of great trap
spots that i do plan to cover in another
video in the future
on the flip side of setting back spam
comes avoiding backspam
many lower tier players who are new to
the game tend to have a habit of trying
to drive really fast and forget that
everyone is taking the exact same tight
line
backspin will come and the worst thing
that can happen to you in a monkey is
getting hit once costing you the whole
race
the biggest solution is to go wide don't
be scared of giving first place that
breaking first the point of the game is
not to get first every race but to give
yourself the best opportunity to get a
high spot based on the situation
there is someone ahead of you on the
track go watch on every blind turn that
there is
and while evasiveness in top spots is
important it gets even more complicated
in the mid pack you begin facing megas
triple shells tc's again the important
thing to remember is that you do not
need to take the most optimal line each
time
predict situations early and do not be
afraid to use your break button and make
complete stops getting hit leads to
situations where you can lose your item
or worse get comboed
again this is not to say that you should
start taking every turn wide or hard
stop if you see a tc
what i'm trying to make is that many
situations you have way more control
than you think if you just sacrifice a
bit of time
trust me it will work out in the long
run of the
race on top of watching the timer to
predict shocks it's just as important to
watch 12th place to predict shock to
gauge when you should use your dodge
item it's first important to know what
item 12th or 11th place may have
if you're on the bottom spots you're
sometimes able to see what 12th place
item is being used
but what if you're far away from the
bottom spots
that's when you use your mini-map you
can actually see what items bottom spots
are using by the speed of their
character head
bills are the most obvious as they move
considerably faster than normal
golden's are a bit harder to distinguish
but if you look closely you can actually
see that the mini heads are moving way
faster than normal
triple shrooms and stars are much harder
to detect
but they do move faster than normal mini
heads and if they're taking shortcuts
that's another indicator that they do
not have shock
remember to apply these rules to 11th
place as well as they can also pull
shock
and if they're not using any items
avoiding shortcuts and the shock is not
within the 30 second cooldown period
then that's a big indicator that they do
have shock and that's your cue to
predict
alright guys so those are my top five
tips that you can start applying to
mario kart wii and mogee lounge as of
today as soon as you begin using these
methods they will become second nature
to you and i guarantee that you will
rise in the ranks
