I finally unlocked everything on MKWii again on my new Wii, and in the process, I double-starred everything, triple-starring 24 of the 32 cups (oddly enough, fewer in 50cc and 100cc than in 150cc). Additionally, I finally figured out how to block POW blocks. Turns out I had the timing right all along, but I'd hit random buttons on the D-Pad, as opposed to just D-pad-up, which is the ONLY one that works. Every poorly-made YouTube video instructing how to block the POW block simply said "do a trick" (aside from the occasional genius who thought you had to dodge with the hop that precedes a powerslide), never specifying that it had to be a wheelie. I now officially hate anyone who uses the Wii Wheel.
On the plus side, with 20-30% fewer item hits to worry about, double-starring was a ton easier this time. Come to think of it, how the heck did I ever manage to double-star anything, let alone the occasional triple, without knowing how to block POW blocks?
