There area few new mechanicsinMario Kart Worldthat aren’t fully explained to players unless they dive deep into the in-game manual. In addition to the new Charge Jump mechanic, which lets players jump up into the air, players can now grind rails and ride walls inMario Kart World.
To ride walls, players need to essentially hit a wall at speed in the middle of a jump. To grind rails,Mario Kart Worldplayers must either jump onto the rail or naturally drive onto one end of it. This guide explains how to grind and how to jump onto walls inMario Kart World, and offers sometips on why you might want to learnthese new mechanics.
How To Grind Rails In Mario Kart World
There are two methods to Rail Ride inMario Kart World: by jumping onto rails with aCharge Jump, or bydriving directly onto a railthat is either embedded in the ground or connected to the ground at one end.
While grinding you canpress the Trick button (R)to perform jumps and increase your speed while grinding. You do not need to balance your kart while grinding – you will continue to grind inMario Kart Worlduntil you either jump off by performing a Trick with a side directional input or reach the end of the rail.
How To Ride Walls In Mario Kart World
To ride walls,Mario Kart Worldplayers must do one of two things:Charge Jump onto a wall, or use a Feather item or boost ramp to launch themselves upward at a wall. As long as you either Charge Jump or are launched into the air at speed into a wall via another method, you should automatically begin to ride it.
You can only wallride inMario Kart Worldfor a few seconds, but you will build up boost as you ride the wall.
This mechanic can be a bit tricky, and it may take some tries to get the inputs and timing right. But you’ll be glad you did, because inMario Kart World,riding walls is agreat way to build up your boost in racesand is necessary to find some secrets in the open world.
