Tricks

Tricks are features in Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 7. It allows players to do tricks and moves in the air. When the player lands on the ground, he or she gets a boost. This makes doing a trick a way of going faster. Tricks can be done on any thing that launches the player into the air (like a ramp or a wavy track).

In Mario Kart Wii, tricks can be done when flicking the Wii Wheel or Wii Remote up when going off a ramp or something that will launch the racer into the air. It also can be done by pressing the top arrow button on the Nintendo GameCube controller.

In Mario Kart 7, tricks can be done when pressing the L button when going off a ramp or something that will launch the racer into the air.
