If you hit the gas button too soon you’ll spin out, so keep practicing on your timing to get the longest possible speed boost that will last for over 1 second! ? How To Unlock Mirror Modeĭo you want to race on all 32 tracks in reverse? That’s what Mirror Mode is for in Mario Kart 8! The tracks will feel like new when left is right and the other way around, even the text on signs is dislayed in a mirror image.įind out how to unlock the Mirror Mode: To unlock this mode, you’ll need to win a Gold Trophy on all 8 Cups in Grand Prix races. Alternatively, a second method that I personally use to get the timing right is to only look at the three red lights Lakitu is holding in the air, press the gas button at the exact moment the second red light turns on to get the longest rocket turbo boost!
How to get the longest Rocket Boost Start: The closer you get to pressing the gas button when the countdown’s “2” number drops into place after it appears on-screen (and not right when it first appears), that’s what determines how long your rocket turbo boost will last. This way you’ll immediately pass by lots of your opponents at the very beginning of each race.
When the second red light turns on and the on-screen counter reads the number “2” that’s when you need to press and keep holding the gas button The gas button is the “A” button on Wii U GamePad, Wii U Pro Controller, Wii Classic Controller & Wii Remote with Nunchuk or the “2” button on Wii Remote & Wii Wheel.Ī second later when the light changes to green the race begins, and if you’re still holding in the gas button then that’s when you’ll immediately activate a turbo boost start (AKA “Rocket Boost Start”). What is the exact timing for the Rocket Boost Start: At the start of the race before you can drive, the very moment when the stoplight counts down from 3 to 1 and you see the 3 red lights go on at the same time before turning a green color.
