3 Stars on a cup?
Topic Started: Jan 1 2012, 02:49 PM (930 Views)

If memory serves me right I have won every race before in a cup and only gotten 2 stars for it. What is the criteria for getting 3 stars in a cup if it's not just winning every race?

I was waiting for this question. It depends if you're playing Mario Kart Wii or Mario Kart 7. If you're playing MKW, you have to place first with 60 points, hold first place as long as possible in the races; don't hit by items (if you do fall towards last place, try not to recover with a Bullet Bill); and do tricks, drifts, and wheelies if you use a bike. For MK7, you have place first with 40 points and get as many coins as you can. 10 coins is the best you can go for. Don't fall or get hit by items as well, as that gets rid of your coins. This isn't exactly official, but from my experience, going by these rules really helps.

Dragoonmason's answer is correct! It's very difficult to get it though. At the moment I'm rarely getting stars I'm getting C's and D's

Yeah, 3 Star is pretty hard to get, especially on the Wii. ._.
Have a question related about something on the forum? Send me a PM.

I have 3 stars in every cup, except Mirror Leaf Cup, which I have a single star. Not because it's hard, but I refuse to do better on it.

I've gotten at least one star on every cup so far. Mostly three stars on a cup, though. Mind you, I've only played through up to the Flower Cup in 100cc in the game, though.

Just wait until you get to the Mirror... A computer decided to throw 4 red shells at me because I was almost to the finish.

Thank ya. I almost have 2 stars on everything including mirror mode. I am working towards 3 stars on everything though. It took awhile to get 3 stars on 150cc.

But there's no way you can avoid being hit by a blue shell! How is that supposed to work?
