Mario Mart Worldhas a neat trick for you to perform in solo play that can stop a Blue Shell from hitting you or make up for a mistake you made that might have left you losing your coveted first-place finish.
Rewind is a new tool in-game that lets you turn back the clock and rewind time at any given notice to get out of a dire situation. It’s a pretty cool ability, but the vast majority of players either don’t know it exists or have no idea how to activate it.
How to rewind in Mario Kart World
Rewinding in-game is pretty simple. At any time, you canpress down on the D-Padand your character will jump back a few seconds to a former position. It’ll also help you dodge any weapons like the Blue Shell, but there are some limitations to its use.
For starters, you can only use this ability in solo modes, so you cannot use it in online matches. Also, when you use rewind, only you rewind, so all other NPC characters will keep racing and even pass you after you use the ability.
The rewind also loses most of your speed and acceleration, so it can prove costly if you press it at the wrong time, especially in 150cc races where every second counts. It’s still pretty cool to get out of a jam, though, and is a great tool for beginners to get out of situations they didn’t want to be in.
I haven’t used it myself during 150c races where I have made a mistake, I find it’s quicker to take the hit than fall back in places and lose further time. It definitely has its uses, though, in free roam when doing some P Switch missions or trying to get some of the Peach Medallions, as if you fall off a cliff, you can go right back where you came and try again.
