Baby Daisy

To unlock Daisy, every cheat or hint says to get a 1+ star ranking on every 50cc Grand Prix. It's not entirely true. I got a 3 star ranking a 2 star ranking and three 1 star rankings. That adds up to a total of 8 stars, there are 8 Grand Prixs to play, and I unlocked Baby Daisy without having to get a 1+ star ranking on 3 of the 8 Grand Prixs (this doesn't work for Bowser Jr. not sure about Dry Bowser).

Mario Kart Wii Hints

Time Trial Tips

Mario Raceway - Choose a good offroad car with high mini turbo. Just before the huge bend were the plants are boost in between them whilst drifting then let go of drift and do a trick up the ramp.

Ghost Valley - On the final straight hit the yellow arrow but don't touch the line it takes about 3 secs of your time.

Maple Treeway Shortcut

First go to Time Trial to find this because it could ruin your race in a cup. Don't get a speed boost at the start or you will miss it. Turn right at the start and you will see an opening in a fence. Use a mushroom and follow a path and hit the boost pads and you will end up right next the cannon way ahead of everybody.(choose a good off-roader like the Magikruiser in case you don't have any mushrooms.

Mushroom Gorge Short Cut

At the start stay to the left and go off the edge (mushroom boost required not starting boost) and you will bounce on two mushrooms and jump over a wooden fence and continue on your race.

P.S. It took me a long time to master this, so don't get frustrated your first time.

Blue Shell Escape Trick

If you are racing with a big group of characters, you are in first, and you hear the shell warning coming. Just slam on your brakes, don't worry about losing position, because when that blue shell hits that group, you can pass them.

Submitted By: da spectacular Stephen

Rainbow Road Shortcut

As you approach the figure of 8 in Rainbow Road, keep heading forward towards the large hole in the track. Boost as you near it and as you fly over the hole, do a trick. You will (hopefully) land without problem on the other side. If you have multiple mushrooms then you could attempt this again on the next hole.

Maple Treeway Shortcut

Entry Location:
Maple Treeway

When you're about to exit the windy bridge, look to the left and you'll see a second way that will lead you to a speed burst.

Submitted By: BoB da Builda

Another way to unlock Rosalina

Entry Location:
Selecting GP Courses in Time Trials

When you have a saved game of Super Mario Galaxy on your Wii, select any character and play 50 courses on time trial. This will not work if you don't have a saved file of Super Mario Galaxy. Good luck and have fun!

Submitted By: Rosalina Fan

Daisy Circuit Shortcut

Entry Location:
Daisy Circuit

Before you enter the figure 8, look to the right and you'll see a pink building with a staircase. At the end of the staircase is a boost where you can do a trick.

Tips For Beating Ghost Data

These are a few ways to help you beat that ghost:
1. Watch the Video first. It might have a few secrets.
2. Use your mushrooms wisely. I like to use one per lap, and sometimes the track will be all curvy, but if you use a schroom, you can zoom through the grass.
3. Use bikes instead of karts, that way you can get a boost from wheelies when you can.

Stop a Blue Shell on Rainbow Road

If you are about to be hit by a blue shell on Rainbow Road, when you go into the Star Cannon the blue shell goes away. In other levels with cannons this is not so.

Submitted By: mario kartzz

Avoiding Red Shells

When you are about to get hit by a red shell, throw a banana, green shell or a red shell backwards to stop it.

Submitted By: toad fan 95

Wario's Gold Mine Shortcut

On the level Wario's Gold Mine, when you see the karts carrying gold, follow them off the ramp and you'll get to the shortcut.

Submitted By: prime1o1

Coconut Mall Shortcut

From the start of coconut mall go up the escalator. There will be a little opening on the right, and you'll need a mushroom.

Submitted By: mike

Block a Shell

If there is a shell (not blue) about to hit you and you have a banana, throw it behind you and the shell will stop

Submitted By: kart master1

Escape A Blue Shell

Getting away from blue shell's is tricky. If you have a mushroom, use it just as the shell is hitting you. It's hard to time exactly right, so practice.

Submitted By: assap

POW Block Avoidance

When someone is hitting a POW block, get some air and do a trick and you won't spin out.

Submitted By: Cheat Man

Boost on Ramps

When you are on a ramp or bump tilt the wheel up and you will do flips and tricks. When you land you'll get a boost.

Submitted By: Tash loves X-MEN :)

Retro Shortcuts

DS Delfino Square- Before bridge (mushroom needed)
SNES MC3 - gaps through walls (mushrooms needed)
N64 M raceway- Cut over hill (mushroom needed)
GCN Peach Beach- left at water

Submitted By: Monkey Monster

Lessing Effect of POW Blocks

If you look at the picture of a Pow block on your screen when you are about to get hit by one: it goes normal, gets squashed a bit, then you spin round. If you do a wheelie just before you spin, it won't slow you down as much. (You will still use your items, though)

Submitted By: me

Boost After A Fall

If you run into something, like water or falling out of the track, if you hit 2 the moment you're placed back on the ground, you'll receive a quick boost.

Submitted By: Racetrack Raymond

Boost Start

When the countdown starts wait till the 2 starts to disappear and then press and hold the 2 button to get a short boost at the beginning of the race.

Mario Kart Wii Easter Eggs

Golden Wii Wheel

Use the Wii Wheel a whole bunch in all modes, and when you go online a golden Wii Wheel will be next to your name.

Mario Kart Wii Glitches

Grumble Volcano: Major Shortcut

As soon as you start Grumble Volcano, don't speed boost. Reverse until you fall. DON'T take the ramp you get put at just yet! Look left, you'll see a big rock. Jump closest to the rock and keep going in circles counter clockwise (Left). Keep repeating it until you get to the third lap ,then go around the rock but go to the finish line at the end.

Play As The Same Character

Have Player 1 choose the character that both players want to be. Then unselect that character and have player 2 choose him, her or it. Then back out of the character selection menu. When you go back into the selection screen you will both have the same character selected. Have both players pick that character and play the race as you normally would.
