Avoiding those pesky POW attacks is oh so easy

One of the first things I hated in Kart was the POW attack; even though I knew it was coming the attack would still assault my mental well being. Shortly after playing, though, I discovered that if you were in mid-air you could dodge it. The video above shows how to dodge it using a well-timed hop, a tip that’ll definitely give people who master it an edge while playing Mario Kart locally or online.

For those of you that figured this out on your own, two points for you.

    What can I get with my 2 points??

    I’m about 50% succesful with it but it is damn useful.

    An easier way to dodge the POW block if you’re using a bike is to simply wheelie, you’ll lose your weapons but you won’t lose speed.

    If only there was a way to dodge the blue shell.

    In MKDS you could, djilleffect, but it was incredibly tricky. Nintendo has dumbed this game down quite a bit compared to its predecessors, but it’s still fun nonetheless. Any game my GF enjoys, I enjoy.

    Now if she’d only enjoy Gears of War on the Xbox 360 :P
