Learn the ins and outs of N64 Mario Raceway in Mario Kart Wii! Get expert tips on shortcuts, drifting, and mastering the track to secure that first-place finish.
Alright, let's tackle N64 Mario Raceway! This is a classic, and while it looks simple, there are a few spots where you can easily mess up if you're not careful. We'll get you through it like a pro.
Walkthrough
- 1You'll start by drifting right twice. Keep an eye out for two sharp left turns coming up – if you miss them, you'll end up spinning out onto the grass.
- 2Next up is a U-turn to the right. If you're really early and have a good drift going, you might be able to drift through it. Otherwise, it's best to slow down a bit and make a normal turn.
- 3After the U-turn, you'll hit a quick left and right sequence that leads into a straightaway.
- 4Then comes a tricky part: a right, then a right again, followed by a left that takes you through a pipe.
- 5Finally, you'll have one last right turn before hitting the checkpoint.
Shortcuts:
- Just before that U-turn I mentioned, there's a shortcut. Cut to the right and use a Mushroom item to blast past the corner. This will launch you onto a ramp. Hit a trick off this ramp to get back on the track.
- There's another Mushroom shortcut you can use before the pipe tunnel near the end of the track. Use a Mushroom to cut the corner there.
Other Tips:
- You can actually drive up the inside of the end pipe tunnel. If you time it right, you can trick off it and get a surprise boost as you come back onto the track.
- Fun fact: Mario Kart 64 says this track is 567 meters long!
Time Trial Tips:
- Definitely practice that first shortcut before the U-bend. It saves a ton of time, and it's the perfect place to use your Mushrooms.
- Remember that trick off the pipe tunnel at the end? Do that for an extra boost when you're racing against the clock.
