How do you make an instant recovery when you fall of the edge on Mario Kart Wii?

Question

I have been playing online, and enjoy bumping people over the edge whenever possible. I have noticed some players instantly appear back on the track after I bump them off. Is there a cheat or something that allows them to do this?

Answer 1

Yeah, id say its lag

Answer 2

They hacked into the game.  They probably used Action Replay SD Cards or something.

But here's a cool hint--right when you hit the ground after Lakitu catches you from a fall, press the gas button and you'll get a boost.

Answer 3

It is most probably lag. Sometimes, player's connections lag behind others, and the game has to make people "teleport" ahead in order to be more accurate.

Answer 4

online lag.  they moved out of the way before your Wii received the signal.

notice how it is impossible to do it when not online.

and to the person above me, there is no Action Replay or hacking devices for the Wii yet.  The closest thing is PowerSaves, but that just lets you download save files off the internet, not hack.

but the last thing he said is correct, press A the second you touch the ground to get a boost.
