Dominate Mario Kart Wii Online With Simple Game Play Tips

Mario Kart Wii has been released recently for the Nintendo Wii, and opinion is divided on whether it's the best yet, or rather overcomplicated and frustrating. One area of the game that's completely undeniable in it's brilliance is the online mode, where you race up to twelve other racers online. Everybody wants to win, of course, but there are some excellent players

Don't Handicap Yourself Before You Even Start

It's best to use offline mode to get a feel for the game as a whole, plus unlock a few of the extra characters and karts. Once you feel confident (general consensus suggests beating at least the 100cc level cups before venturing online), then go online, but remember how you played offline.

The courses are all the same, so pick one you like before you start - don't go random. Of course, it may not get voted to race on it, but at least you stand at the least a 1 in 12 chance of racing on it. Pick a character and kart you are familiar with, and also a kart that plays to your style.

By 100cc class, you should also be playing in manual mode.

Take Advantage of Everything

There are plenty of places to safely get speed boosts without golden mushrooming everywhere. Corners are a great place to drift and you need to hold the drift for as long as possible (generally until you are straight on the straight you are drifting into), you should also stunt jump whenever you jump, and if you are racing on a motorbike, wheelie as often as possible. Also, make sure you hit the power ups. Online racing is more about powerups than offline racing, as such there's very little chance of taking an unassailable lead throughout the race.

Become a Blue Shell Bomber

If you are leading, you have one thing to fear - Blue Shells. The Blue Shells will automatically hit you with an explosion causing you to lose around 5 seconds. And there's nothing much you can do to stop it. Luckily, you are given plenty of warning, so what I try and do is stop, slow down, and take out as many of your opponents as possible. Drive with the A button (if you're using most steering methods) held down when you become aware of it and aim to eliminate as many of your opponents as possible. Sure, you'll drop down a few places, but at least you won't be miles behind when you recover.

Second Is The New First

With that said, it is far easier to do the classic Mario Kart tactic of remaining in second up until the last corner then overtake. The choice of weapons you get in first is terrible, so if you are to lead from the front, pull away and fast before you get attacked by the Blue Shells.

With all that said, the most important thing is to have fun. Playing your fellow human and beating them is a wonderfully satisfactory feeling in this game, and you have a real sense of achievement. I'll see you online!

Innovations in Office Supplies

It is rare that a manufacturer makes an improvement of an existing office product. Especially one that has been around as long as the pen has. One way to achieve this is by taking a couple products and combining them into one multi-function machine. Bic Corporation has done just that with their Bic Duo. The highlighter and pen in one.

Say you're writing some notes in a meeting and you want to highlight an important line that you want to quickly reference at another time. You can always circle it, draw a few stars next to it, or write the important words over and over to get that bold effect. Most of us, however; prefer to highlight our important notes. It allows for quicker reference as that bright yellow highlight really does standout on the page. In the past you would need to grab your highlighter, take off the cap, highlight the selected passage, recap the highlighter and return to your pen for additional note taking. Not anymore.

The Duo allows you to write and highlight without skipping a beat. With a simple twist of the barrel the Duo changes from pen to highlighter and then back again. The pen is surrounded by a highlighter, that when twisting the barrel, rises out of the barrel making the pen tip disappear inside. Twisting the barrel in the other direction forces the highlighter back into the barrel, leaving only the pen tip. This is a great way to save time, and make sure you get the notes you need with the important notes highlighted for your easy reference later.

Unlike other 2-in-1s the Duo does not have the pen on one side and the highlighter on the other. This 2-in-1 uses the whole barrel to store its ink, meaning it will last twice as long. If you hold any position that requires a lot of note-taking and highlighting the Bic Duo is perfect for you. It is available in medium point, blue or black ink.
