Q&A for How to Unlock Dry Bowser on Mario Kart Wii

Yes, but it takes a long time. Theoretically it can be done.

Manual would probably be better to use since it gives you extra speed boosts during the race. In very long courses such as Rainbow Road, they can be even more useful.

No, because they don't include all 12 racers (including you). But if you do all thirty two-time trials, you unlock Toadette.

You check your license, then click "profile." It should be there somewhere.

There is really no "best vehicle," because it all depends on how you like to race.

It would count as four races.

Not necessarily. The Spear is the fastest bike in the game, but besides speed, it's stats are not great. It is advantageous on courses with straightaways and wider turns, such as Luigi Circuit and SNES Mario Circuit 3, but it doesn't compete with tighter drifting vehicles like the Flame Runner on most tracks.

For Funky Kong, you must unlock 4 time trial expert ghosts. You do that by beating the normal time trial ghosts. Once you have done that, exit the game and come back in and you will have unlocked Funky Kong.

No, but he is DLC in Mario Kart 8 for $10. It will take practice to beat all the 150cc cups.

There are downloadable cheats for Mario Kart Wii that would unlock Dry Bowser, but none exist in-game.

Once you complete a cup and you see your place, on the right you will see your rating. Furthermore, when choosing the cup, you can see the rating on the bottom-right corner.

You can unlock 11, which will take a couple of hours (depending on how much you play). You also start off with characters, like Mario and Luigi.

Baby Daisy is what you get when you defeat all 50cc cups starred, but that’s about it.

Beat all 150cc cups with at least 1 star rating (your current rating is bottom left of the grand prix select screen).

They both go the same speed because they are the same character. It is Bowser from Mario Kart Wii.

If you used items to catch up, hit walls, or were not in first place the majority of the time, you most likely did not get the star because of it. Even if you won every race, it doesn't always give you the star.

Yes, Dry Bowser is actually unlocked by completing only the 4 nitro cups and getting a star ranking. The mushroom and flower cup will be easier to get stars (as well as the star cup) but the special cup, even if you get 60 points, there might be a chance you still get an A because of how you drove. Maybe it's that you stayed in 5 - 12th for too long or you hit too many walls and items.

Not really. Baby Luigi, Baby Daisy, Toadette, Daisy, Bowser Junior, Rosalina and Funky Kong all have boosts. But it doesn't matter really.

You can only unlock Dry Bowser by doing a Grand Prix on 150cc. Vs races will not count as a Grand Prix, even if you do four tracks in the same cup.

Beat the four you have at the moment then you can unlock them one by one.

Go on time trials. On time trials the CC is 150CC. So you can click that or you can get up to four other people with you and play a VS. race/races.

The Sprinter (B Dasher Mk. 2 outside of North America), is a medium-sized kart in Mario Kart Wii. It resembles a modeled Formula One Car. It is unlocked by unlocking 24 different expert Staff Ghosts, by playing 3,000 WFC races or by playing 4,650 races.
