How to wall ride and grind rails in Mario Kart World
The world of Mario Kart got flipped on its head in Mario 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 Kart may 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 in Mario Kart World. How to rail ride and wall ride in Mario Kart World Screenshot by Destructoid To wall ride or grind a rail in Mario Kart World, you first must Charge Jump. This is done by holding down R while driving straight (turning will cause you to drift) and charge 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 can tilt the analog stick left or right to flip your kart in that direction to 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 of Mario 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. Screenshot by Destructoid Whenever you are on a straightaway, make sure 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 simply by 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. The post How to wall ride and grind rails in Mario Kart World appeared first on Destructoid.
