Mario Kart Wii - Apr 30 08 B

So...the reason why I'm showing you Battle Mode right now is because I'm working on purposely lowering my VS score until I reach a certain point. I'm not sure where I'll stop, but I'm currently just below 2900. I'm doing this to see what happens when a person with a very low ranking defeats a person with a very high ranking.

Battle #3
Coin Runners
Thwomp Desert
This place is pretty neat. It looks plain at first, but once the Thwomp comes crashing down, boom! It sends ripples through the sand that can seriously mess up your driving. The cacti around the edge will harm you if you touch them too. Here, for some reaosn, I was able to get a lot of Coins and dominate, despite getting hit a few times.

Battle #4
Balloon Battle
Funky Stadium
I get how this place works now. The place is so huge, you need to look at the map to see where people will congregate and go there. You risk getting hit, but it's the best place to drop Fake Item Boxes and Bananas.

One cool thing I saw someone else do on Thomp Desert and started copying is tricking during the ripples, as they're just like the ripple areas on tracks like Maple Speedway and Rainbow Road. It gives you enough speed to still get an item while everybody else is reeling.

[Overhazard]

Of course, that only works when you're driving straight toward the center going at full speed. Believe me, I tried to trick, but it seems I wasn't going fast enough or I was going in the wrong directions.

[Prolink]

Nope, I've actually been able to use it to go across in a path that didn't lead me into the Thwomp, or perhaps I just was turning as I tried to trick and landed in such a way to help me arc out.

[Overhazard]

I suppose it's because I wasn't at full speed then. It's hard to reaccelerate on the ripples.

I have a pretty good strategy for Thwomp Desert, but it's kind of risky.

You grab an item box, and when you've got a banana/fake box, plant it right on the edge of the hole. This way, if someone hits it, they spin into the hole, resulting in quite a bit coin losses, or 2 balloon losses if you play balloon battle. It can backfire, as I fell in the hole multiple times -.- But it does really work

[Overhazard]

Interesting. It's indeed risky, since the Thwomp comes down at random times.

I like how when your flattened, your bananas are flat too ^_^
