How to get a star rank and more!

Some of the unlockables require a star rank for a certain amount of Cups. But how do you get these star ranks? At the end of each cup your results are being graded, this will show in the right upper corner of the end result screen. If you do well and complete the cup (rank 1-3), you will most likely get a somewhere between a C and an A. If you win the cup with nothing but victories you will most likely get at least 1 star. If not, your total time was a little too slow.

In this Wii version of mario kart they changed the quickstart, powerstart, fast start or whatever you may call it. To do this little start trick, press the gas button right when the 2 is on your screen and starts to fade away. It will require a little practice but Im sure you will figure it out.

Doing tricks mid-air will give you a boost once you land. You do this by quickly moving your wii remote into a random direction. Your character will then perform a trick mid-air and once you land you will get a nice boost. This can be done on the smallest jumps, so keep on the lookout for this performance increase!
