Question

How do I know how many expert ghosts I've unlocked?

Community Answer

You'll have to go through all of the courses and compare the times online. Once you've unlocked the expert ghost it takes the place of the normal ghost.

What are some tips for improving as a Mario Kart player?

Practice practice, practice! Don't be discouraged at not winning the first time. Drifting, learning your track, and conserving your powers are also very good things to do.

Why haven't I unlocked Birdo when I have raced 16 different tracks in time trials?

Close the game, return to the Wii menu, and start the game again. You should receive a notification saying that Birdo is ready to play.

Question

Why hasn't the star up appeared if I won first place in Mushroom cup and Flower cup (as a VS solo race) on my normal Mario Kart Wii game?

Community Answer

You probably need to exit out of your license (go back to the screen that says "MarioKart Wii") and then reenter. It should give you the notification that you unlocked the Star Cup.

Question

On Mario Kart Wii, do I have to win the time trials?

Community Answer

It depends. With Birdo and Toadette, you only have to complete them. But with Mii outfit B, Baby Luigi, or Funky Kong, you have to win the time trial.
