How hard are the staff ghosts in Mario Kart Wii?

Moon jump exists. Actually struggled with that less than some others.

[@ccr_noctu]

Everyone knows the hardest staff ghost is ghost valley 2

[@KingMarlonGaming]

Warios gold mine???????

[@markymark443]

Here's a tip: the Blue Falcon is actually better with automatic drift rather than manual. You don't gain much from the mini-turbos as the mini-turbo stat is low, and the drift isn't good either, so it's better to use automatic drift as that prevents you from noticeably losing speed while turning. That's why the world record on the Spear on DS Peach Gardens also uses automatic drift.

[@beanzard64]

Noted. Thanks!

[@BobKarter]

Blue Falcon is faster on manual on all tracks except DK Summit, but it's certainly much easier on automatic. It is one of the better choices for automatic kart out there, but the only karts that really benefit from automatic are Sprinter (B Dasher MK 2) and Jetsetter (aero glider), and even then both of these are karts are generally faster on manual in time trials, but in online races automatic would be preferred.

I legit did Rainbow Road with Rosalina Honeycoupe (Dragonetti) and I thought I did pretty well, no major mistakes and pretty solid lines (for my standards). I lost to the staff ghost by a few seconds, thinking "oh that's not bad, I'm not too far behind the CTGP fast staff ghost" only to realize it was actually the slow one...I somehow couldn't even beat that one. I have no idea how I can do any better and beat that one let alone the fast one. I think that one's a foregone conclusion already. Maybe I'm just that bad with karts that even on Rainbow Road I struggle to do well with it even when I don't make any noticeable mistakes?

[@dhavzr23]

I have always loved how the ctgp rainbow road expert staff ghost also uses rosalina on the jetsetter, but gets a time of 2:32! It is also regarded as a pretty hard staff ghost and it took me quite a while to beat it with the flame flyer

[@lewisparry4992]

I beat it once with the flame flyer and it was really close

[@spacedwellercobalt]

As a kid I thought for mii outfit b you had to beat all of the expert staff ghosts, not unlock them. I found out to unlock them you had to beat the beginner by a certain margin and after all that time grinding, I realised that I didn’t unlock the moo moo meadows one.😂

[@silvesta5027]

The only change I’d make is race the beginner staff ghost. Then you have the tension of thinking whether you did enough to beat the expert one too

[@nathangitz2674]

I've beaten ALL these staff ghosts with the same character and vehicle combos in the past multiple times. Even with the wheel for some of 'em. I even tried to keep my driving as clean as the ghosts. Hardest I think is Moo Moo Meadows though. AUTOMATIC DRIFT. Funny thing: on Mushroom Gorge, the ghost only has one trick animation as well as you.

[@lightfn]

I totaly agree on Moo Moo Meadows

[@kamilslup7743]

in europe the sprinter is called "B Dasher Mk 2" and for some reason it is the only vehicle with outside drift on automatic

[@samuraimaster321]

"I was gonna say it adds insult to injury but it kinda just adds injury to injury, because, well, I got hit by a car." Keep it up!

[@LightningLiger]

as a jetsetter main, defeating the expert ghost with its own vehicle felt like the big first step into becoming good I had to nail the outside drift moon jump one lap to finally defeat it

[@LG-ii7gl]

tbh for me the only expert ghost i significantly struggled with when i very recently beat all of them was Bowser's Castle. Unlike the DK Jungle mountain race thing you cant do any cool new shortcuts and unlike Rainbow Road you can't beat them with just better movement and play, you basically have to do everything they do absolutely perfectly for 3 laps straight and that gets frustrating when they're already almost perfect at it

[@gamingskier645]

Hey just so you know the blue ramp in Moo Moo Meadows is actually slower than going around it, hope this helps!

[@Greenglower2012]

This is something ive wanted to see in general, like i wonder if using the standard bike can beat every expert staff

[@ILoveNumbers_MarioFan]

I would say that the Rainbow Road Fast Staff Ghost has to be the hardest one yet. Despite this, I only lost to the Fast Staff Ghost time on that course by a bit less than 2 seconds.

[@slitheredboyz]

Great job Bean, you played really well. Keep up the amazing uploads. You got this man. Also a good thing no staff ghosts used the phantom.

[@redscorpion9411]

If you get a sub-2 minute mushroom gorge, you definitely beat the expert staff!

[@loafity4244]

Honestly all the expert staff ghosts are pretty challanging, then you learn the fastest strats and learn those. And suddenly you can beat all expert staff ghosts by like 5+ seconds. Especially tech heavy tracks like waluigi stadium 😂 My time is 1:54.3 and the expert staff ghost’s time is 2:12! When i was newer to the game i think i only beat it by 2 seconds 😂 What i’m tryna say: Learn the fastest strats and u can crush every expert staff ghost

[@chrispyexe]

Do you have tips for waluigi? I’m a decently strong player (1:10.0 LC, 1:19.0 MC3, 2:32.6 RBC) but waluigi is by far my most dreadfully horrible course (high 1:59). Preferably apart from the turnskip, I get that saves a lot but I’m not sinking the time to learn it 🤣

[@StalinkTz]

@@chrispyexe just learn the time trial lines and it's really easy. try cancelling air time by drift tricking to the walls on the 2nd trick ramp. then do the off road cut. that saves a lot of time and basically makes the course free lol. also learn how to do the first turn on that first trick ramp, that also saves a lot of time.

[@chrispyexe]

@@StalinkTz I know the general strategy of the course, but I guess it’s more about being consistent. Down tricks save way more on the wall bounce (similar to warios gold mine) so it’s probably more about spending the time to learn the nuances of the course.

[@torridknight783]

You can beat all the staff ghosts by using Daisy/Sneakster or mach bike in automatic. Maybe one or two that I don't remember that you may need a diff combo but I never had to use manual.

[@beanzard64]

Interesting! I prefer using manual, but Automatic + Sneakster seems like it’d be a decent combo as well.

[@Euro.Patriot]

Rainbow Road, Maple Treeway, Grumble Volcano, DK Mountain and DK's Jungle Parkway were fucking hell to beat. I did them all as a 10 year old. I remember thinking the first ghost for Bowser Castle 3 was hilarious because it was named Nin🌟Fukuda.

[@Euro.Patriot]

Mario Circuit and Luigi Circuit give me nightmares and so does one of the SNES ones.

[@Euro.Patriot]

Rainbow Road was scary because of the vehicle. Doing it with the aero glider without falling off is hard let alone doing it while constantly boosting.

[@Supergamer4594-ff2fo]

Not kidding when I say this, but I beat all expert staff ghosts just the other day. Mind you, it wasn’t straight across like this video (even though he only did the Wii section in this video). The last ones from yesterday that I can recall that I had to do in this order was Wario’s Gold Mine, Bowser’s Castle, Rainbow Road, and N64 Bowser’s Castle. I really can’t remember which ones I did before hand, but I remember making a lot of progress with expert ghost times. It was so irritating having to restart over, and over, and over, AND OVER, until I somehow beat them with the same characters with different karts or bikes. I had to use the flame runner for Wario’s Gold Mine and rainbow road with the same characters the staff ghosts used. With Bowser’s Castle however, I had to use Funky Kong. That was the only time I used him, just for that track. Both Bowser’s Castle and Rainbow Road were the ones I struggled the most with. Wario’s Gold Mine was as hard too, but it got a little easier when I switched to the flame runner. The staff ghosts I had beaten beforehand were either as hard as the ones I mentioned, or less harder like GCN Peach Beach. But yeah, I wanted to share this since this video came up on my recommended. At least I won’t have a reason to be raging at Mario Kart Wii now as if I was mourning over someone’s death or something.

You gotta use the mushroom to recover on some of those full stop mistakes it saves more time than pretty much any shortcut

[@markymark443]

I'd definitely say the Flame Flyer is a tier below the Mini Beast, Wild Wing, and Honeycoupe, at least for online races (not much of an expert on time trials though). The Flame Flyer is a lot harder to control than those other three, plus it has a bulky hitbox which is almost never good. I kind of don't really like the Wild Wing that much for the same reason. The Honeycoupe is the heaviest of the four (yes it's even heavier than the Flame Flyer), yet has a very compact hitbox which is super convenient. Unless you REALLY know what you're doing, you're gonna struggle a lot with the Flame Flyer.

[@xkarinax_x]

for online play wild wing is best, and mini beast and flame flyer are equally second best. honeycoupe is definitely worse than those 3

[@markymark443]

@@xkarinax_x Honeycoupe is much easier to control than Flame Flyer. It has similar stats to the Wild Wing (maybe a bit slower) but with a much smaller hitbox to make it easier to avoid obstacles. I tried the Flame Flyer online and I felt like I was on the Jetsetter but with more mini-turbo. I do a lot better with the Honeycoupe. I guess for Time Trials the Flame Flyer is a lot better since you can restart anytime you mess up, but in online messing up with the Flame Flyer is almost always EXTERMELY costly, which is why I think it's much worse.
