•Bikes - This technique is a little bit more complex. Alot of switching between wheelies and drifting. After you drift boost, pop a wheely [only if you're in a good position to]. Every time you get on a straight road, pop a wheely. Simply put, always use wheelies during ANY speed boost and whenever on a straight road.

|Wave Dashing|
This trick has no name, so I just call it wave dashing. All you do is drive directly behind another player. As you're driving behind them, you'll see blue swooshy lines appear. After a few seconds of this WITHOUT ANY INTERRUPTION, you'll see a blue halo around you making you faster for a while.

|Items|
There are alot of items, I'll take you through a crash-course of when, where, and how to use them to their full potential.
•Traps - Bananas and Fake Item Boxes. The best places to leave these are in narrow yet crucial areas, or in bunches of Item Boxes. You can also drag them behind you by holding right on the D-Pad. Doing this will block incoming shells or drivers that "follow to closely".
Also, try not to use Triple Bananas. Instead, keep them behind you for protection.
•Projectiles - Green Shells, Red Shells, Bomb-ombs, Spiny Shells. Green shells go straight forward and bounce off walls until they hit. Red shells home in on opponents. You can drag these shells for protection, and also shoot them backwards. Triple Shells should be used as sheilds, and should only be fired when necessary. Bomb-ombs should be tossed into groups of players, or dropped behind you to take out potential threats. Spiny Shells go to whoever is in 1st and blows them up. Best used if a few players are all neck-in-neck at the lead.
•Speed-ups - Mushrooms, Golden Mushrooms, Lightning Cloud. Use mushrooms through off-road areas to cut corners. Golden mushrooms allow you to keep using them for awhile, so take advantage of that. Lightning Clouds make you faster, but after awhile, shrink you. [continued...]
