- 1). Pick a team that matches your playing style. Each character plays slightly differently and some weigh more (Donkey Kong, Wario) than others (Baby Mario).
- 2). Pick a kart. Certain karts have different levels of speed, acceleration and weight and some even have lesser penalties for driving off-course. If you lose with one team and kart combination, try it with one that is lighter, heavier or one with more speed or more acceleration.
- 3). Get the initial boost. If you hit the “A” button just at the tone to start sounds, you will gain an initial boost to push you ahead of the pack. Besides the slight edge, getting ahead of the pack will keep the other racers from taking up all the item blocks and shutting you out.
- 4). Learn the tracks. You know the saying “Practice makes perfect”? That definitely applies here. Learning when to expect curves in the track or where to avoid sideline enemies
- 5). Know the shortcuts. Some of the tracks have short cuts and alternate routes. Use the “Time Trial” mode to look around the various levels and explore to find the shortcuts or which route works the best for you.
- 6). Get twice the powerups. The big change in “Double Dash” is the ability to play with two characters, so make use of it! Your cart can hold two items if, once the character in the back has an item, you switch them into the driver’s seat by pushing the “z” button. Grab a “special” powerup from the question box early in the race and have your driver hold it until you need it the most.
