Getting Competitive

[Macawmoses]

I just found out my Mario Kart Wii save file was corrupted. There went my characters ;-;

So, in a rage, I've gotten pretty competitive. However, I do have questions.

Do specific characters change attributes of vehicles? ie. would Waluigi and Wario both be the same on the Wario Bike?

What all courses have short cuts? Alt paths?

How do you dodge blue shells?

Do you have other tips?

:)

specific characters do not change the attributes of vehicles.  All characters have their own stats added to the vehicle stats.  This is why Funky Kong/Flame Runner is the best combo, as Funky has the right stats that compliment the Flame Runner.

How do we know those stats, though?

the game doesn't state them specifically, but if you compare the same two characters on the same two bikes controlled the exact same way, the differences show themselves.

There should be a FAQ on GameFAQs that says all of the stats.

I'm pretty sure the ONLY way to dodge a blue shell is to use a mushroom right before getting hit by the shell.

Link by any chance?

And Java, how specifically timed does it have to be?

Oops. I never saw this before.

If you haven't figured it out by now, I believe you just have to use it when you see the shell start to descend to hit you.
