Hello fellow karters

I'm new to this game. Any tips other than the ones I've seen on the mkds site?

With my current pace I think I'll be arround #600, which sadly is #2 in Brazil. I can (sorta) do the snaking thing but it's still kinda inconsistent. I'll keep trying to improve although I still can't successfuly unlock the best karts Sad

(can't beat mirrored mode at all).

Looking forward to competing with you all.

ps.: don't come here to stalk me Mario86

Good offroad, good at snaking, good handling, good drift, and reasonably fast.You'll get a lot of time improved quickly with this kart, until you eventually start to get the fundamentals nailed

^The snow on FS behaves differently from most other terrain types, don't follow that advice. Roll Eyes

Use Egg until you can snake reasonably quickly with no consistency problems, tighten your lines, and then begin to use bomber to practice PRB on rMC1. Egg PRB is best introduced on rLC1, a little later on; this also applies to Polt and BLS. Generally, you'll pick up/should start practicing these skills at around the following levels (in relation to your nonPRB rank) :

-Snaking: ~600th
-Bomber PRB: ~275th
-Egg/ST DB PRB: ~170th
-Wide MTs: As early as possible, but best ~120th
-Polt/ST YS PRB: ~70th
-BLS/ST LG PRB: ~35th
-ST RB PRB: ~5th
-Cucumber PRB: lol never
-Neutral Hops: ALWAYS
