anyone know about the white/gold wheel thing yet?

also i have not figured out how to combat the lightning cloud/pow things properly, is there a doc on it somewhere?

Yeh, found it.

The white wheel means that player has used the the wheel at some point, but not for the last or current game. If its gold, the player is using it a lot (and currently).

I think the lightening cloud/pow/red shell thing can be dodged by shaking the controller at the right time. Also using the turbo can shrug it off.

I like the wheel personally! adds a bit more fun to it and works well....

My wheel comes up white in online mode even though that is all I have ever used....

I'll try shaking the wheel next time I get a lightning.... You can fend off a red shell if you have a banana / green shell to lay just before it hits you

some say its ok, but the general concensus is that the wiimote and nunchuck are better anyway.

I wouldn't fancy playing it without the wheel, lol. Would be so awkward trying to turn the remote!

Turn the remote?

No, you use the nunchuck to steer left and right, push forward to thrown, back to drop.

Using the nunchuck sounds a slightly better option, lol, but I'd still far rather use the wheel

i was playing this again yesterday. i hadn't had much time yet and had thought it was a pretty cool game. After a blast yesterday i've decided its awesome!! Really getting the hang of the wheel and learning to drift more. Completed the 50 cc now so seen all the tracks. Its ace having all the old tracks from previous games
