Ever played on the Online Lobbies and wondered how people get these cool, golden karts? It is easier to do this compared to Mario Kart Wii and every game before it, so do not panic! Look no further because this guide will tell you how to unlock them!
Steps
Method 1
Method 1 of 2:
Mario Kart 7 (3DS)
Start with unlocking the Golden Wheels, the easiest part to obtain in Mario Kart 7. You need to beat all cups in 50cc, 100cc, 150cc and Mirror Mode, and obtain at least 1 star in each of the cups. In Mario Kart 7, you should complete these cups in 1st or if lucky, 2nd place overall in order to collect the Golden Wheels. Alternatively, you can collect 15,000 coins, however the other method also gives you a star next to your name!- If you get all 40 points you WILL get either 2 or 3 stars.
- If you get around 35-40 points, you will get 1 or 2 stars, but no guarantees.
Unlock The Golden Glider. You will need 100 MK7 streetpasses. If you live in a city, great! Streetpass all day as you go shopping. If not, just wait until you get a chance to go to the city, then start streetpassing. Medium sized rural towns should give 1-2 streetpasses daily if you are downtown all day. Alternatively, you can collect 10,000 coins.Advertisement
Unlock The Golden Kart. You will need to play A LOT of online to unlock this. You will need a VR of 10,000 or higher to unlock this. If you don't have online access, you will need 20,000 coins to unlock this.Advertisement
Method 2
Method 2 of 2:
Mario Kart 8 (Wii U)
In Mario Kart 8, the golden parts have been added again! The unlock criteria have changed though.
Start with unlocking the Golden Kart, the easiest to obtain. Like the Wheels in MK7, you unlock this by completing cups. You only need to complete Mirror Mode and 150cc with at least one star to get this. It is even easier to get star ratings in MK8. If you get at least 54 points overall in a grand prix, you will get at least 1 star. There are no coin alternatives in MK8, so you MUST unlock it this way. Please note that there is no golden ATV or Bike.
Unlock the Golden Wheels! If you go into Time Trials, you will see some charts on the right. It will contain a graph with a character head. Go into "Race Against Ghost" and then select the ghost. This is a "Staff Ghost". You can tell staff from other Mario Karters as their names start with "NIN ". If you beat this time/ghost on every New and Retro course, you will unlock the golden wheels. Again, there is no coin alternative. You do not need to download this data.
Unlock the Golden Glider! Now this will always be the last unlock from coins. You need 10,000 coins to unlock this, so it will take a very long time. Just play heaps of time trials, redo those grand prix, do some vs races with friends and play online! Once you get these coins, you will get the glider, and your kart is complete!Advertisement
