How to rewind time and pull off tricks in Mario Kart World?
(Image via YouTube/Nintendo UK) Mario Kart World has introduced some fresh ways to shave some seconds off the lap times, but only if you know how to exploit them. The two key mechanics separate the casual racers from the champions—the rewind feature to perfect the tricky sections and mid-air tricks for the explosive speed boosts. Neither might be obvious at first glance, but they can both dramatically alter the racing strategy. Here is how you can leverage them like a pro. How to pull off mid-air tricks in Mario Kart World? Pull off mid-air tricks in Mario Kart World to add up to the stacked boost (Image via YouTube/Nintendo UK) Mario Kart World Tricks are not just flashy. They are the player's ticket to maintain momentum. Launch off either the ramp or even the unlucky Toad, and then tap on R mid-air for a spin, flip, or strike the character-specific pose. The key is to spam the button. Unlike the past games, in Mario Kart World, you can chain multiple tricks in a single jump. Each of them adds up to the stacked Mario Kart World speed boosts that gets activated on landing. Direction inputs help you tweak the style. Hold Left/Right for the spin or Up/Down for a flip. If you choose not to hold down either input, the character will perform animation unique to them. Also, there is no penalty for overdoing the tricks. So, mash R ruthlessly. Feather items can extend the airtime and offer you more opportunities to rack up the boosts. Just remember, the tiny hops (like from the bumps) will not trigger the tricks. You need some proper air. How to rewind in Mario Kart World ? How YOU can use REWIND in Mario Kart World #mariokartworld #news If you screw up the drift or miss any shortcut, just hold Down on D-Pad and Rewind. But remember, it's possible only in the Solo Modes. But this is not your get-out-of-jail completely free card. The race will continue around you. So, use the rewind strategy strategically. Rewind will not dodge the blue shells or undo the actions of rivals. It lets players retry the tight corners or cover a hidden path until it becomes muscle memory. Rewind in Mario Kart World is supported in solo modes (Image via Nintendo) Use the rewinds to, Salvage the botched landings after the tricks. Memorize some obstacle patterns. Practice the shortcuts without restarting. Consider Rewind as your training tool. Perfecting the turn or nailing the risky jumps matters more than salvaging the botched lap. The online races disable it. So, practice it offline before you take the skills to a multiplayer (not rewind) game and have a great game.

Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff Make Grand Entry On Bike At Event, Video Goes Viral
Last Updated: The stylish appearance comes just ahead of the release of Housefull 5, one of Akshay Kumar's most anticipated films in recent years. Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff made heads turn at the Bollywood Hungama Style Icons Awards night with a dramatic and stylish entry. The two actors, who recently shared screen space in Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, arrived riding a bike, catching both the paparazzi and fans by surprise. Akshay was in the driver's seat while Tiger rode pillion. Both stars were dressed to the nines—Akshay sported a sleek brown three-piece suit with sunglasses, while Tiger rocked a bold black suit with his shirt unbuttoned and matching shades. They halted the bike on the red carpet, striking a few poses together for the photographers, creating a viral moment instantly. Their grand reunion, complete with the bike stunt, sent fans into a frenzy, especially as the duo was also seen together in cameos in Singham 3. The stylish appearance comes just ahead of the release of Housefull 5, one of Akshay Kumar's most anticipated films in recent years. Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, the ensemble comedy boasts one of the biggest casts in Bollywood with stars like Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Fardeen Khan, Shreyas Talpade, Nana Patekar, Jackie Shroff, Dino Morea, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Sonam Bajwa, Chunky Pandey, and Johnny Lever. Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Housefull 5 is reportedly one of the most expensive Hindi films ever made, with a budget of Rs 225 crore. Pinkvilla reported that the high cost stems from the star-studded cast and the challenges of shooting across real locations. Trade buzz around the film is already strong. According to Sacnilk, Housefull 5 has made Rs 4.38 crore in advance ticket sales, with over 1.41 lakh tickets sold and 14,669 shows scheduled across India. Including blocked seats, the total advance booking collection stands at approximately Rs 9.59 crore. Releasing this Friday, June 6, Housefull 5 is expected to give a massive boost to Akshay's recent box office run, especially following the success of Sky Force and Kesari 2.

Top Advance Bookings At Major National Chains For Opening Day In 2025: Housefull 5 secures 3rd spot among Bollywood movies with 90,000 tickets
The advance bookings for Housefull 5 have wrapped up for its opening day, and the numbers are in. The Akshay Kumar fronted comic caper has sold 90,000 tickets in top national chains like PVRInox and Cinepolis. This places Housefull 5 as the third highest-selling Bollywood film in advance bookings for 2025, trailing behind Chhaava (223,000 tickets) and Sikandar (143,000 tickets). However, these figures are, at best, mediocre for a franchise known for its mass appeal and star-studded cast. Fans and trade analysts expected much stronger advance numbers, given the brand value of the Housefull series. Other Bollywood releases like Raid 2 (86,000 tickets), Sky Force (52,000 tickets), and Badass Ravikumar (47,500 tickets) are behind Housefull 5, but the gap isn't as wide as one would hope for a film of this scale. Films like Kesari 2 (33,000 tickets), Emergency (27,000 tickets) and Jaat (20,000 tickets) round out the list. We had reported that Raid 2 sold 93,000 tickets in top national chains for the opening day in our listicle. To clarify, Raid 2 had sold 93,000 tickets by morning of the day of release. At midnight, the total ticket sales were 86,000. 1. Chhaava - 223,000 tickets 2. Sikandar - 143,000 tickets 3. Housefull 5 - 90,000 tickets 4. Raid 2 - 86,000 tickets 5. Sky Force - 52,000 tickets 6. Badass Ravikumar - 47,500 tickets (Rs 99) 7. Kesari 2 - 33,000 tickets 8. Bhool Chuk Maaf - 30,000 tickets 9. Emergency - 26,000 tickets (Rs 99) 10. Jaat - 20,000 tickets Outside the top national chains, Housefull 5 has performed better, especially in single-screen theaters and smaller centers. However, even these numbers are also not as impressive as they should be for a franchise that thrives on family audiences. The film's advance bookings for the weekend show a ray of hope. Families, eager to enjoy a light-hearted comedy during the festive holiday, have driven relatively stronger ticket sales for Saturday and Sunday. This could give the film a much-needed boost over the opening weekend. Financially, Housefull 5 is in a decent spot before its theatrical release. The makers have already recovered 60 percent of the film's budget through non-theatrical revenues, such as satellite, digital, and music rights. For Housefull 5 to be declared a hit, it needs to aim high at the ticket counters. It must net atleast over Rs 200 crore in India and gross over Rs 325 crore worldwide to be in contention to get a hit tag. Given the franchise's track record, this target is achievable but will depend heavily on positive word-of-mouth and sustained footfalls over the festive period. The Housefull series has always been a crowd-pleaser, banking on its mix of humor, star power, and family-friendly entertainment. But with only 90,000 advance tickets sold in top chains for the opening day, the film hasn't generated the buzz it needed. If Housefull 5 delivers on laughs and entertainment, it could overcome this average start. For now, all eyes are on its opening day performance and how it holds up over the crucial festive weekend.
