The world ofMario Kartgot flipped on its head inMario Kart World, now with the ability to grind on rails and ride on walls with your vehicles.
These new gameplay mechanics are far from just a gimmick, though. They give a boost to your speed and are crucial to learn and master if you’re looking to beat your friends in races or dominate the addictive Knockout Tour mode online.
Mario Kartmay seem like a simple game, and it is and can be at a base level, but using techniques like Charge Jumps, Wall Rides, and Rail Rides is how you go to the next level as a racer and learn to truly dominate your opponents.
Here’s everything you need to know about how to grind on rails and ride on walls inMario Kart World.
How to rail ride and wall ride in Mario Kart World
To wall ride or grind a rail inMario Kart World, you first mustCharge Jump. This is done byholding down R while driving straight(turning will cause you to drift) and charging up a jump. When the jump is charged (the controller will vibrate and your back wheels will spark), you can hop into the air.
Right as you charge jump, you cantilt the analog stick left or right to flip your kart in that directionto go towards a wall or a rail to initiate the new movement mechanic. Press R again to flip off of the wall or rail and land back on the track for a nice speed boost.
Charge Jumping is a crucial new part ofMario Kart World. Every time you Charge Jump and then land, you get a little speed boost, the same exact kind of boost that you get when successfully drifting around corners.
Whenever you are on a straightaway, ensure to be Charge Jumping. When you’re driving around turns, hold down R to drift for a different but similar kind of speed boost to ensure that you’re always moving quickly and staying ahead of the pack in every race.
You can also rail ride by simply landing or driving onto a rail. Some rails begin on the ground, so it’s easy to do, while others require you to get some air. This can be done by Charge Jumping or even using the new Feather item, which launches you into the air.
