Tips

"Dodging" Blue Shells:
This can be used in the Grand Prix and VS Modes, prefferably a harder engine class like 150cc or Mirror where the CPUs are closer to you. Whenever you hear that blue shell humming sound, get off the A button and slam on the B button to brake so that the person behind you can pass and get to a safe distance ahead of you. Although you may end up in 3rd place, you can regain 1st more easily than being blasted completely. This sometimes doesnt work though, and you get blasted with it even though you are in second.

Snaking Tips:
I took some time out and took a look at this whole snaking deal. For those of you who don't know what snaking is, it's when you drift boost left and right up a straightway. You need a VERY quick thumb to do it; my left hand always gets sore when I do it. In my observations, I have found that any of R.O.B.'s cars does the job quite nicely, especially the ROB-LGS. Also, any car with a high stat for handling and a low drift stat is ideal for this move.
PS: Don't send me flame mail saying "OMGWTFBBQ CH3AT3R!!!!#%!@!11onez0rzz!1!!", it's part of the game.

Getting Star(s) Next to Your Name in Wi-Fi:
To get 1 star, you must beat all the grand prixs with at least 1 star rating. To get 2 stars, you must complete all the grand prix with 2 stars rating or better. And to get 3, you must complete the grand prixs with all 3 stars. This is a really just a symbol of your accomplishments, getting 3 stars in 150cc is not too easy.
