Tips & Tricks to win

Here are our best tips to get first place in Great ? Block Ruins:

• Stay centered on narrow suspended paths to avoid falling after jumps and corners.
• Use Mushrooms to boost through off-road curves and break crates for shortcuts, but be careful not to overshoot and fall.
• Master rail sliding and wall riding to leap gaps, reach higher ground, and avoid crowded or hazardous sections for faster racing.
• Time your cloud jumps and green pipe entries perfectly to access shortcuts and hidden platforms that can shave seconds off your run.
• Use defensive items on tight sections to block attacks, save Mushrooms for key shortcuts, and avoid risky shortcuts if you’re ahead.

Best character & Kart combination

• Best combo: Peepa + Rob Hog

To win on Great ? Ruins in Mario Kart World, the top combo is Peepa + Rob Hog. This track throws tight turns, tricky hazards, and chaotic item spam your way, so you need a setup that’s quick to recover and easy to control.

Peepa’s small size makes it easier to see the road and avoid hits, while the Rob Hog kart offers top-tier acceleration and handling, which is perfect for bouncing back after item hits and navigating the winding layout.
