Avoid the Pow Block in Mario Kart Wii

Do you have a lot of trouble in avoiding POW Block in the racing Wii game named Mario Kart Wii? Do you want to become the best? Read this article!

Steps

  1. Use one of the following methods to avoid a POW block.
    • Count the number of POW Block strikes to three. Wheelie up by flicking your Wii Remote upward (Wii Nunchuk w/Wii Remote) or your Wii Wheel or by pressing Up arrow button (GameCube or Wii Classic controller). A blue force field protects you, so you will spin only once, but you will not slow down. However, you will lose your items, so be sure to use them before the POW block disappears.
    • Hop many times if you are using a kart. You won't lose items that you carry. This only works if you set your drift mode to manual.
    • Use the Mega Mushroom, Star, or Bullet Bill.
    • Go on a ramp/jump and into the air if you see the POW block. With this method you retain all your items.
    • Go into the cannon in DK Summit/Snowboard Cross, Maple Treeway or DK Mountain, go on the ramp over the river on DK Jungle Parkway, or go into the Launch Star in Rainbow Road.

Tips

  • Don't get too close to the obstacles, wall and out-of-bounds when turning corners during the POW Block. You will only move forward when POW hits, and if you dodge it using the Flick technique, handling will still be compromised. This is even more important while turning corners on tracks without run off areas, i.e. Wario's Gold Mine and Rainbow Road. If you believe there is a chance you will fall off the level, brake.
  • Use your items before POW takes effect. Even if you use the Flick technique, you still lose your items.
  • Use the Wii Classic or GameCube controller. Flicking the Wii Remote or Wheel doesn't always work correctly for avoiding the POW Block.
  • Use the small jump that you use to drift at just the right moment and you can avoid it.
  • Flick the Wii Remote right when the POW is supposed to make an impact with you. You will lose your items, but you won't slow down.
