How the hell...

[Darkhold X]

Mario Kart may kicks ass, but how do you get around the turns properly. I dont like its turning compared to the 64 one. :confused:

[MiXX]

it doesnt have the vee feature?

[Darkhold X]

No the bastards. It plays almost identical to the snes.(which I barely played.)

[MiXX]

dude
just use the damn breaks
geez

[kuroimisa]

yeah that works for most racing games
i personally use "rapidly pushing break buttons" technique

[Darkhold X]

Im not furious or anything, I just wanted to see if there is some system to it.

I am working on a hop/break type thing. I just havent quite got it.

On almost ALL racing games you can do 1 of 2 things on turns to gain control:

1- Decelerate (release accellerator) before the turns, then accellerate about halfway through the turn. This is the best way but takes more skill to master.
2- Use the breaks in the turn to lower your speed. To do this properly you need to tap the breaks rapidly so that you don't decelerate rapidly (unless you're playing a racing game that supports analog and you have your breaks set to an analog stick, then you can adjust how much breaks you're using)

Well I was mainly looking for a none breaking turn. They can be some real bitches on this one. If you havent played it, they are two or three times as agressive on this one. They are real dicks on 150ccs.

Dude that is such a fucking UNDERSTATEMENT

Its bullshit when Im about to hit first I get the shit knocked out of me by about 4 red shells

[Darkhold X]

*ruminates for a moment*

......... Maybe...... maybe I should get Krazy Racers.......

Just kidding. Hey, do they still do that irritating thing where you're 2 laps ahead and suddenly someone comes from behind and you eat his dust?

The 64 version was a bitch!

[Badmiyamotofinger]

SuperVeg,
use the the Jump button. i think its the R Button.
u can then slide withoput losing much speed

[Darkhold X]

Hell yea they fly past your ass like you are sitting still. :p

The hop just dosent work that good, like the 64 one.

The power slide is still in the game, it just takes getting used to. The power slide works similar to the SNES version, and there is a boost in the end - if you have great timing. The power slide makes you swing wider out into turns, but doesnt make you lose speed. So time it so that you start further away from the turn than usual, so that you just narrowly miss the barrier that forms the turn. It takes skill to do correctly, but in the end its the best option for turns.

Oh absolutely beautiful! I couldn't have said it better myself! I was going to say it's about the timing on the turns, do it so, well, that you do it early and swing the side of the kart into the inside of the turn. If you go too far out during the swing, you may want to use the brake. Hold the break button for as long as you need to. Not too long I hope.

Hey guys, try Princess Toadstool/Peach. I haven't had much experience with her yet, but when I played as her tonight, she kicked ass! She got me a ranking "Star" instead of a letter, 162 coins and I was lapping those foos on 100cc Mushroom Classic, and earned the Gold Cup. I'm not playing 150 cc yet because I want to enjoy the full game, and trying to get used to those wierd new tracks.

I'm the Mario Masta! If anyone needs help, pm me. I love all Mario Games.

[Darkhold X]

I tried playing the game on the lesser ccs and its easy as hell. I got through the 50cc with no problem. I only placed below 1st 1 time throughout all the cups. 100cc still seems pretty easy but I havent got a chance to play throuh to much. I aint goin near that 150 until I get like rank A on the rest.

[Lone Iguana]

What about a handbreak. Some of the racing games that i've played have handbreaks and you can make turns so easy with those. Dose mariokart have one?

[Darkhold X]

No.
