Nintendo Car Box Pull Speed Mario Kart 8 Mario

Product Information

There are three different types of boost available on Switch, compared to the standard two on the Wii U edition. When you've drifted far enough that you see little blue sparks fly out from underneath your vehicle, that means you can initiate the first stage boost. If you can hold onto that drift long enough to ignite orange flames beneath your kart, you'll instead benefit from a bigger speed boost when you finally let go. Continue going and you'll get a third pink tier for an even longer boost. Every extra bit of speed helps in Mario Kart 8. We'll help you get over the finishing line first. Look out for the icebergs on your right as you come around the final bend. You can hop across them to cut straight through to the finishing line. Another great tip for dominating the opposition is to hold onto your projectile weapons until your target is up in the air and sailing over a big chasm. If you can take them out mid-flight, they'll suffer a much longer animation as they respawn, allowing you to race even further ahead of them.

Whilst we will do everything we can to meet the delivery times above, there may be factors outside of our control and we cannot guarantee delivery within this time frame. We've got the location of every single shortcut in Mario Kart 8, so that you can destroy the competition and shave seconds off your lap times.As you leave this upper part of the course map, look for the two towers that become visible on your right. Steer off the course sharply and aim towards them to hit a couple of ramps that help you cut out a massive chunk of the course. At the first part of the S-bend in the bottom right part of the course, keep your eyes peeled for a ramp that can be used to slice off a right-angled turn. As you approach the finishing line, think about darting directly through the luggage carousel to avoid the very last turn altogether. Look out for the ramp on your left as you approach the big bushy white trees. You can use a mushroom to speed over the grass, get to the ramp, and then pull off a massive stunt boost.

Use the speed ramps at the sharp apex of this course to cut off some of the worst parts of this twisty section. After using the bouncing baddies to initiate a series of stunt boosts, look to your right where the fence ends. You can use the bouncing drum suspended in mid-air to cut out the next corner, then speed straight through the grass. If you've got a mushroom going spare, you can use it just before you reach the winding piano section to whizz across the patch of grass.

Almost all 'shortcuts' here are cutting out existing corners with boosting items, the most notable of which is the final corner. Watch where the road forks at the bottom of the course, take the lower route, then use a mushroom to leap over the gap that leads directly to the finishing line. You can make use of another mushroom to blast across the grass on the first corner, and save a little bit of time. Look out for a blue ramp as you turn one of the final corners. If you can get a speed-boost across the grass, you can use this ramp to start gliding over the final section of the course.

You can use a mushroom boost to cut across the grass just before the wooden bridge. Once you've crossed it, you can boost again to cut out another corner and get on the second bridge. Watch out for a waterfall on your right, just after the first tight bend. Fire a mushroom to whizz through it and cut off a nice big chunk of tarmac! You won't make much of a dent on the leaderboards if you don't take advantage of the drifting mechanics in Mario Kart 8. If you can sustain a drift for a certain amount of time, you'll trigger a speed-boost effect which is applied as soon as you take your finger off the drift button.As you approach the cave in the sea you'll see the path split a little. If you steer hard to the right as you enter it, you'll get up on a different ledge that boosts you faster towards the big slithering eel. Make sure you get a few stunt boosts off the eel's spine as you race along it! During the underwater section you'll notice a dark patch of dirt to the left of the main course. Activate a mushroom and zip directly through this sludgy stuff to save a little time.
