Kart & Character Selection

This is very basic but it's one of the most important aspects of online play. To give yourself at least a sporting chance you should avoid all heavy characters such as Bowser, R.O.B, Donkey Kong, etc and avoid all the big-wheeled karts such as the Cucumber, the B Dasher, the Royale, etc. Online games are hectic with a lot more weapons flying at you than in a single-player game so you need to be able to recover quickly; choosing a smallish character and a quick, agile kart will help you. If you plan to use the snaking technique then you should use either the Dry Bomber, the Poltergust 4000 or Egg 1 and choose a lightweight or middleweight driver like Toad, Dry Bones or Yoshi.
