  1. when you get air, shake the wheel or tilt it upwards towards you. It takes practice but once you get the hang of shaking or tilting it you will be doing some cool tricks.

    Just be careful and make sure the wheel is not near your chin. I have whacked my self numerous times on the chin while doing tricks.  


  2. i think you just flick the cortroler up

    if not mabey bikes dont do triks


  3. Analog Stick          -  Steer / Throw Items Backward or Forward

    A Button              -  Accelerate

    B Button              -  Drift (Manual), Item (Auto)

    Z Button              -  Use Item

    C Button              -  Reverse Look

    Flick Wiimote Up - Trick / Wheelie (Bike Only)

    + Button - Pause

    Automatic and Manual Drift

    --------------------------

      Before racing you have to decide between Automatic and Manual drift.

      AUTOMATIC is where drift occurs when you steer at a certain degree so you

      don't have to, however you cannot drift boost as a result. MANUAL is where

      steering is restricted (or shall we say normal) and you have to press a

      button to begin drifting. For all intents and purposes, pick MANUAL if you

      are playing with anything other than the Wheel so you can decide to drift.

      AUTOMATIC is ideal for the Wheel as drifting is rather difficult to manage,

      and is more fun to play.

      So there you have it, AUTOMATIC equals no boost, MANUAL has it enabled if you

      can perform it.

    Drift

    -----

      On AUTOMATIC, this occurs after turning at a certain threshold. Don't have to

      worry about it.

      On MANUAL, you have to hold down the R Button when going round corners. You

      can drift by holding down the R button when going around corners. It allows

      you to take sharper corners without loss of speed, so is good for many of

      the game's courses. To start it, turn and press R to set the direction, and

      you can also adjust the direction of the drift slightly by using the analog

      stick as you go anyway.

    Mini-Turbo

    ----------

      On AUTOMATIC, this is disabled.

      On MANUAL, after drifting and tapping to the sides, the sparks behind the

      vehicle will turn blue. This takes around from one to two seconds to perform,

      and letting go gives you a boost. If you hold on for longer, another few

      seconds longer, the sparks will go red and you will get a longer boost. The

      boost amounts also depend on the cart you are driving.

      It should also be noted that on BIKES you can only blue drift.

    Snaking

    -------

      IS SNAKING POSSIBLE? Well, kinda. Yes, it is, but it is harder. As getting

      mini-turbos takes longer than before, you cannot really snake from left to

      right. On wide tracks you can, but most of the time you cannot. However as I

      am a proficient semi-snaker, I can perform semi-snaking in Mario Kart Wii -

      I can take a corner, exit it and do another boost before going straight

      proper. I'm sure depending on the correct kart and character combination

      you can snake, but for all intents and purposes, snaking is reduced, but

      possible.

      ERM, WHAT IS SNAKING? A very advanced technique, you perform mini-turbo over

      and over again in a snake like fashion. So say you are on a straight, and you

      are on the left; drift to the right, and boost ahead so you're on the right.

      Now drift to the left and boost so you end up on the left. Keep repeating

      this to create a snake like movement down the track, giving you a huge

      advantage if done correctly.

      SHOULD I BOTHER PRACTISING? Yes. There is great debate since Mario Kart DS

      on whether snaking is 'cheating', but personally I disagree, and consider

      snaking is not as effective this time, it is worth trying. It makes single

      player easier, and if you even considering to get winning in the long term

      online, it is what the professionals use. Use Time Trial as a place of

      practice!

    Driving Techniques

    ------------------

    Rocket Start

    ------------

      This performs a boost as the race starts, very handy for getting the

      advantage straight away. To do it, at the opening count down (3, 2, 1, GO!)

      press and hold Accelerate as the hand is pointing at 11 o'clock on the

      SECOND COUNT. If done right, you'll get an awesome boost start. Takes a bit

      of practice (the margin between a Rocket Start and a Dud Start is quite thin)

      but once you've got it it's an invaluable technique.

    Throwing Items

    --------------

      When you are using certain items, such as shells and bananas, you can throw

      them in front or behind you by pressing up and down respectively. You can

      launch green and red shells behind you and throw Bob-Ombs, Fake Item Boxes

      and Bananas ahead of you.

    Dangling Items

    --------------

      You can drag items behind you by holding the item button. This enables

      you to block attacks from behind, such as those pesky red shells, and to

      time your item drops more effectively. You can drag bananas, green shells,

      red shells and Bob-Ombs (note that Fake Item Boxes can be dragged, but do

      not block against shells).

    Tricks

    ------

      A new technique to Mario Kart Wii, flicking the Wiimote or tapping Up on the

      D-Pad with the controllers as you leave a ramp performs a trick, and gives

      you a boost upon landing. Very handy. Note that you need to press this

      _just_ as you take off, and that it can be performed whenever you lift

      from the ground, such as when you bump into course specific obstacles.

    Wheelies

    --------

      The introduction of bikes brings about the introduction of wheelies.

      Flicking the Wiimote or pressing Up on the D-Pad raises the front tire,

      giving you a boost of speed for around four seconds until it automatically

      drops again. You can perform another straight after. Note two things however;

      you can not steer (or very slightly) when you are performing them, and you

      are highly venerable to being shunted when doing this. Only do it when you

      are on a straight and with little others around you.

    Turning on the spot

    -------------------

      You can turn on the spot by holding accelerate and brake together (A and B)

      and turning left and right. This is very handy if you are driving the wrong

      way.

  4. short and simple

    tilt the wii steering wheel backwards to do a wheely

    and shake when you go over ramps,bumps etc.
