Thanks for the tip! :) Couldn't figure out how to get the boost! :)

[GameXplain]

@JesseAndMike You're very welcome!

[JUSTINDASH5]

can someone explain how to get the boost when you fall off a cliff?

[GameXplain]

@JUSTINDASH5 We made a video of that too! watch?v=t5gPFY_8vyg

Can you make a video on drafts please? Every time I try I turn and fall off road or get hit by an item.

[GameXplain]

@WolfHAX50 I'm confused by what you mean exactly...drafting is when you follow another kart closely from behind, then get a short speed boost. Drifting is when you slide around corners and get sparks for mini-speed boosts. Which one are you asking about?

[TimeRazor]

Video Request: I'm an old Mario Kart gamer and I seem to be having a hard time on something I never thought I would have one on, the Lakitu Drop Boost. In MKDD, DS, and Wii, if you fell of the track, Lakitu will drop you back on the track. By pressing the gas button the second you land on the track will give you a life-saving boost back to near full-speed. In MK7, this doesn't seem to be working so well, I can only get it to work 25% of the time. Did they change it? Please show us how to do it.

[GameXplain]

@TimeRazor On it! Glad you reminded me--I captured footage of it just so I could make that video actually.

You have to hit the gas as soon as you hit the ground like MKW

@XBOXBossman When the blue shell goes down, if you have a mushroom use it when the blue shell goes down, but it's unlikely that you'd get a mushroom.

[XBOXBossman]

@GameXplain Can you show us on how to dodge a blue shell?

Like exactly when you should dodge it(When it goes down) or what items can be used to dodge it.

@harpiesd96 Finally gotten a chance to view all these answers. I have finally mastered it about a week after I posted my comment about it and yes I saw the video review but the video doesn't do it justice, seems all YOU gamers do. Yes, the timing is tighter. I found my own method. When you land, a circle of clouds appears, the very second clouds appear (It will look like one thick cloud), pressing A here sets it off. Then it's all about training and timing w/o looking at that.

@TimeRazor

press and hold the INSTANT and i'm not kidding, INSTANT your wheels touch the tarmac. I pull this off about 85% of the time.
