Learn how to use and defend against the Banana item in Mario Kart Wii. Get tips on placement and defensive strategies.
Position Received: 1st-3rd place.
How to use: Press L to drop this banana skin onto the track. When a kart slips on it, they will slide out of control for a second or two. It will remain on the track until someone slips on it or until it is destroyed (by a shell or a Bo-omb). Try and place bananas on parts of the track where most racers will go onto them, such as thin ledges, the insides of tracks, in front of boosters, and item boxes. You can also use them for defending by holding down L to dangle it behind you.
Defending Against: If you see a banana on the track, try and drive around it if you can. You can also blast them away with a Bob-omb or a shell. If you hit a banana, you also drop the items you are holding.
