I know in the Korean version, you have to pay real money for more options and power-ups and things like that.

This is nothing like mariokart. There is no weapons. Why do you guys play some girly pop music for the videos?

Ok, WhatPulse causes it to error for some reason. I did the tutorial, but now I can't join any games. It says "Network setup in progress. Please try to log in later."

WASD also works to control your kart, and doesn't have the same problems, at least on my keyboard, Pistasj.

Some noob tips:
In team speed games on zoomtown, drift every turn until you have 2 nitro boosts and your team nitro turns your boosts blue. Then just drive normally (don't drift). Take every corner as tightly as you can manage, even if you have to lay off the gas pedal. Save your nitro boosts for the straightaway on the last lap. You will pass nearly everyone that passed you using their nitro boosts earlier in the race (this is because drifting and taking turns wide slows you down considerably on zoomtown). In rookie-level team-speed games where no one really knows what they're doings, this should allow you to finish between first place and third place. Since team speed game winners are decided by accumulated score, it's important to finish the race, even if you have to give up first place to do it (wiping out because you drifted more than you needed to is a bad thing).

Team-item games... don't drift at all, it's not useful.
-Don't use suicide bombs unless you believe you can take out 2 of your opponent's members with you-- it's not very useful to use the suicide bomb while an opponent is in the lead (it makes their lead bigger). If you simply HAVE to get rid of a suicide bomb, and there's no good targets for it, drive on the edge of the track, so your teammates can dodge the explosion when they see you shining bright blue. The ideal time to use it is when you're in second place behind one of your teammates (who's in the lead). Just activate the suicide bomb and back up into the crowd of opponents behind you. You'll buy your leader loads of time.
-UFOs with lightning bolts through them take the UFO off of the leader. If one of your teammates is in the lead, try to hold onto these and watch the top right of your screen for when the leader gets UFO'd... you'll save him some hassle. If an opponent is in the lead, just use these immediately.
-UFOs will attack anyone that's in the lead. Do not for any reason use one if your team is leading. Save it for when your opponents take the lead.
-Magnets should be used on straight-aways and on the furthest person you can target for maximum benefit. If you feel like targetting someone close by, take care to avoid targetting a teammate, it'll screw you both over.
-Angel immunity is very handy, but try to avoid overlapping them. Having two halos above your head doesn't make your team any more immune than they already were.
-Get used to the distance the water balloons travel, you can get pretty good at "aiming" them so they'll only hit opponents. If you want to avoid water balloons, it's easiest to do so if you hug the inside of the track.
-If you're in the lead, be clever with your cloud and banana peel placement. Save up shields whenever possible, and listen for when to use them. Missiles and flies make very distinct sounds and if you time your shields well, you can remain immune to a lot of stuff.

halo = makes ur team immune to all items for a few secs?
shield = counters what? everything? rockets / flies / waterballoons?

damn this game is complex, just when i think i have a handle on drifting i discover double and continous linked drifts, now looking at the pro vods of this game i have a whole new respect for the moves the pros have.

i can get the double boost to work most of the time which is all you really need on the desert map, but when you need triple or continous boost (like zoomtown) i end up trying too hard and tapping the wall.

plus with these karts i am not convinced that alot of the higher level techniques are needed except to shave the final second or two off your time, ie i can get a 2:01 with normal drifting on pyrimad and 1:59 (ok only one time ;_;) with double boost.

On May 21 2007 23:22 wizardpl wrote:
I am wondering about something: when you start the race, how do you get that 'boost'? Whenever I start I slowly go up to a speed, while all the other racers get this yellow flame from the 'thrusters' in the back and start really quickly? Also, it might be my imagination, but I can swear in those videos the people are using nitro (or some sort of yellow boost thing) on the straight runs before they're actual nitro meter is full?

Finally, which is better, the Korean or Chinese version? Because the English version..well, it's not that great >.<....do you need some sort of identification for Korean or Chinese version?

Please help.

2) Learn how to perfect drift (aka best drift, or most efficient drift) the majority of the turns on your track(s) of choice. It's pretty much required for the more advanced techniques, like double boost and continuous boost, to be effective. Also, you'll see a dramatic decrease in your average times.

How do you judge what a perfect drift is? I prefer the burst kart, but I can't figure out when I should be starting/ending my drifts to maximize efficiency.

the americn version is just a beta, the korean and chinese versions are pretty much identical and have everything. i am assuming that once the full international verison goes live it will have all the traccks and karts.

as for how to get the boost at the start simply don't press up untill the word start appears, if you time it right you get a boost.

Also you can get a boost anytime you do a drift by simply pressing up again 1 second or less after the end of a drift.

that video will show you the fingering to do for the basic drift.

The last couple of day I've been spending alot of time in time attack working on double boost. I can maybe do it half the time on some "good corners". But when I fail I usually drift too much probably because the kart is'nt straighted out properly when I do shift----> after the drift.

I'ts basically hard as hell for me. Anyone here mastered it, or can you tell me how long it usually takes?

They will not add everything at once. They will probably add stuff little by little to increase the money the earn from the players. That way players will buy all items and not just the gosu items you see in korean version.

Which makes me wonder whether or not to just sign up for PopKart? I've seen tutorials for registration for popcart, but they seem to be outdated or something because there are more boxes than most guides show. Can anyone who knows that language help me out with the registration there, because right now it feels like I'm just spending most of my time on a account that will probably get reset once NAKR full comes out.

Here's a 2:59 with a beta kart. Looks like there's only 1 spot where he links his drifts. The rest is perfect drifts and not hitting any walls. Would be hard to duplicate this time with other racers around, imo.

My best time is 3:12 too. Best I've seen someone finish (in a live game) is 3:06.

To anybody who's playing korean kart rider (or chinese, I guess), I have some questions!

1) Do you need to use paykarts in order to do those high level techniques? (continuous drift, double boost, etc.)
2) Why the heck do they let rainbow stars into rookie games ;_; i haven't placed in like a month
3) Can i use an american credit card to charge nexon cash?
