| Mirror Courses Win the Gold Cup on the 50cc, 100cc, and 150cc courses. Now, restart the game and you can choose Extra to get the mirror courses! Turbo Start Press the gas just before the blue light comes on and you will get a turbo to start of the race. Jump Start Do the turbo start, and then press R right before you hit one of the cars. You should blast over all of the cars. Change Title Screen Beat all of the cups in the 150cc mode and you will have a new title screen! Drafting Race directly behind another racer and you will get just enough speed to pass him. Banana Trick When you run over a banana peel, press the break immediately and you won't spin out. In battle mode, you won't lose a baloon either. Power Slides When in a turn hold down R and the opposite direction of the turn to do a power slide. After you are in the slide, press towards the direction of the turn and then back to continue the slide (Do this quickly). The smoke from your slide should change color. After it changes color three times, you will get a speed burst almost comparible to a turbo. Course Ghosts Beat each of the following courses in the given times and you will be able to race against the course ghosts! Course Time Luigi Raceway 1:52.00 Mario Raceway 1:30.00 Royal Raceway 2:40.00 Shortcuts Mario Raceway: Go past the first two turns of the course. Start going up the hill. Just before the top, go right toward the wall. Press R to jump as you leave the track. Make sure your kart is lined up so that it is parallel to the wall. Wario Stadium You can jump over the wall on the left side of any jump by pressing R just before you hit the wall. D.K.'s Jungle Parkway On either your first or second lap, turn around at the starting line and enter the cave and head towards the exit (the exit near the finish line, not the exit near the wooden bridge). Jump into the wall just to the left of the exit. If you do this right, you will fall into a dark area and Lakitu will pick you up. If you are dropped in the cave, head to the finish line to advance a lap. Kalimari Desert First, get a star. Follow the track until you get to the second train crossing. Turn left towards the tunnel. Press Z to activate the star just before you enter the tunnel. You will advance to the next lap while in the tunnel. As you come to the track, turn left and you will be facing the right direction. Rainbow Road At the start of the race, don't use a turbo boost. Steer left so that you are facing the wall at a right angle and press R near the third yellow tile. If you get lucky you will land on the track below. Frappe Snowland At the start of a race, either back up or turn around and go to the middle of the bridge. Aim towards the front right corner of the bridge. Go towards the corner and jump just so that you don't hit any of the track and only snow. Make sure you cross the finish line and go out of bounds, without ever touching the track. If done correctly, you will advance a lap. Yoshi Valley Just past the point where all of the different tracks merge into one, look to the left at the guardrail. Do a slide so that you are parallel with the section of track that is coming into view across the guardrail. If you aim it up right, you will end up on the other side of the chasm. HOME |
