In previous Mario Karts, I haven't had any trouble getting the turbo boost at the beginning of the race. But I can't seem to figure it out in Mario Kart 7 - how do I time the gas to get the starting boost?

To initiate a turbo at the start of the race, hold down the acceleration button right when the number "2" appears, or just a little after it appears.

  • For me, the trick was to hit the gas right as "2" was disappearing.

  • Yeah it's about half way between the '2' and '1' beeps.

To get the turbo boost, start accelerating when the "2" starts to fade. When it says "GO!" you'll be dashing in no time!

The way I do the boost, is when the 2 almost stops spinning, hold the A button. Then, when the 1 stops spinning, release and immediately repress the A button. This makes sure your kart doesn't overheat and explode. If you time it right, you will get the largest possible boost at the beginning of the race. I have perfected it over many years.
