NEAR MISSES
Mario Kart World Switch 2 What a difference a jump makes. We’ve done a couple of circuits of MKW now (though Rainbow Road remains out of reach) but we’re still getting our head – and hands – around the idea of beginning a drift then, as the sparks fly, not touching the stick, in order to charge up our racer’s hop. Since jumping can grant access to rails – grinding them offers a speed boost – and other shortcuts, mastering this manoeuvre will be essential. The difference, say, between coming first in Knockout Tour and being pipped at the post by a fellow journo, who we must simply curse from our lower spot on the podium.
