That'll be tricky.... the way we do it is I hang back on point and neutralise the AI whilst she romps home to a victory finish. Fnar.
 
Folks, I just removed the cellophane from my Mario kart 8 just now, and started to have a go on it. Man its an intense game.

Are there any tips? I can see there are some new concepts like the "hover mode" but Im not sure what that's all about.

Also, the boost starts, is it just simply pressing accelerator on 2 count? Or can you achieve better levels of "boost" off the start depending on when you press the accelerator?

Also had a go online, mixed reactions. Its good fun but cant help but feel, you can drive your best, but still get pwned by red shells/blue shells etc. I guess that's Mario Kart...
 
My first tip would be to try out as many different Karts/bikes as you can.I slowly found a set up I liked that handled just right for me.
It just gets better and better :)
 
Yes Im very much loving the game!
Is there a star ranking system for anything apart from the actual 50/100/150cc tracks? e.g. time trials? Or are TTs just for fun and no achievements?

If you drive really well then you generally always finish in the top 3 at least.

Well Duh! But if everyone does.......... Generally I find now that most races are finishing with everyone incredibly bunched up so it can come down to luck with items on those final few bends. You can go from being in first position going into that final corner right down to 7th or 8th by the time you come out of it.

The star ranking is a joke now anyway as just coming first gives you three stars now, it's pathetically easy!
 
finding this a lot harder online now, think its because like what someone said earlier everyone is more used to the game and is bunched up more, but one mistake and its 2nd to last in about a second lol
