[quote name='Doomed']Which controller setup are you using? I'd love to like this game. What are you talking about when you say no waggle? Okay, motion controls. There are lots of them. Every race I've played has a bar (which doesn't hurt that much) but to get stars, every time I go off a ramp I try to spin. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I usually end up almost not getting enough stars even with that. Should I be trying to ram the
out of the other cars? Maybe I need to do more tree runs. I've got the red bar timing down pretty well. Maybe I'm treating it too much like a racer when I should be treating it like an overworld map for WarioWare microgames.[/quote]
Motion controls =/= waggle
The dictionary definition of waggle is "to move up and down or from side to side in a short, rapid manner". Now if you're driving like that, you're a madman! lol A lot of people just call motion controls waggle in an unflattering way. It's just obnoxious trying to find Wii reviews that don't come off as a mean-spirited imo.
I get a lot of air from a jump, and use that to do a 1080 spin. Sometimes I even get the super air bonus, too. There's ten stars right there, and there are a plethora of opportunities for them, too. Also look for those tokens, too. Things like knocking down pins (you can earn up to ten stars each lap just on this alone), kicking a field goal, timing the yellow bars, collecting butterflies (you can earn up to 20 stars each lap on this alone), and so forth.
Just stick with it. Explore the tracks until you get a good racing line, and you know the right areas to race on. Oh, and if you want to race online, I'd love to, Doomed!
