The next player should select and then deselect the same character. Repeat as needed for as many players as you have playing. Then, go back one screen, reselect the character selection screen, and all players should have their icons on the same preselected character. <span class="subtext12 lightgrey" style="border-style:none;font-size:12px;font-family:inherit;color:rgb(128,128,128);line-height:18px;">Submitted by: <span class="subtext12 lightgrey clearblock submittor" style="border-style:none;font-size:12px;font-family:inherit;margin-bottom:12px;word-wrap:break-word;color:rgb(128,128,128);clear:both;display:block;line-height:18px;">IGN_Cheats

Specifically, use the mushroom when the blue shell begins to rise over you to avoid its blast. Timing is the key! <span class="subtext12 lightgrey" style="border-style:none;font-size:12px;font-family:inherit;color:rgb(128,128,128);line-height:18px;">Submitted by: <span class="subtext12 lightgrey clearblock submittor" style="border-style:none;font-size:12px;font-family:inherit;margin-bottom:12px;word-wrap:break-word;color:rgb(128,128,128);clear:both;display:block;line-height:18px;">IGN_Cheats

Wi-Fi Stars

You can do so by completing Grand Prix races with a certain rank. A one-star profile means you’ve earned a one star ranking on all Grand Prix races. A two-star profile means you’ve earned a two star ranking on all Grand Prix races. A three-star profile means you’ve earned a three star ranking on all Grand Prix races. <span class="subtext12 lightgrey" style="border-style:none;font-size:12px;font-family:inherit;color:rgb(128,128,128);line-height:18px;">Submitted by: <span class="subtext12 lightgrey clearblock submittor" style="border-style:none;font-size:12px;font-family:inherit;margin-bottom:12px;word-wrap:break-word;color:rgb(128,128,128);clear:both;display:block;line-height:18px;">IGN_Cheats

You will spin around, and you will lose your currently-equipped item, but you won't slow down and will avoid the devastating result of being struck with a POW.
