All techniques in Mario Kart World

All Mario Kart World racing techniques to master

1. Rocket Start: It allows a speed boost at the race's commencement by holding the acceleration button when the second light illuminates during the countdown.
2. Drifting : It can be executed by holding the [R] button while steering into a turn. To maintain the drift, players need to charge a mini-turbo, indicated by blue sparks, which provides a speed boost upon release. Longer drift can yield a super mini-turbos which gives orange sparks and more extension can give ultra mini-turbos which give out purple sparks.
3. Jump Boosts: This trick can be performed by pressing [R] at the top of a ramp or an incline. Upon successful execution players get a speed boost on landing.
4. Drafting: For this players need to position their kart closely behind an opponent to enter their slipstream. Maintaining this position for a short duration results in a temporary speed boost, allowing players to overtake.
5. Charge Jump: It is a novel mechanic where players hold the drift button [R] while driving straight to charge a jump. Releasing the button makes the kart jump, facilitating access to elevated paths or initiating wall rides and rail grinds.
6. Rail Grinding: This technique can only be performed on the rails, and to perform this players need to charge jump and land onto the rails. Once on the rail, the kart will grind along its path, often leading to shortcuts or speed zones. This technique is exclusive to tracks featuring rail tracks.
7. Wall Riding: To achieve this players need to execute a charge jump towards a wall or perform a trick off a ramp to initiate a wall ride. During this the mini-turbos charge more rapidly, and players can access alternative routes. Wall riding is limited to specific track sections designed for this feature.
