Hints: Mini-turbo:
When you are sliding, you will see yellow sparks. Move
the
Analog-stick
in the opposite direction from your turn,
then let it fall back to center. You will see orange sparks. Once
you see them, move it opposite again. You will see blue sparks.
Once you see them, you can let go for a boost or keep holding
them until the curve ends. This is useful in long turns.
While doing a sharp turn [
L
] hit back and forth on the
Analog-stick
to get a small boost.
Hints: Quick start:
To get a boost, repeatedly tap
A
at the start
of the countdown.
At the start a race, hold
A
at the countdown, then hit
A
repeatedly once it gets to one second. Keep hiting
A
repeatedly until the race starts. If done correctly,
you should blast out in front of everybody else.
Hold
A
immediately after the '1' disappears in
the countdown. This can take some practice, and it is easier for
some than others.
When you see the first red light start up, repeatedly tap
A
and do not stop until after the 'Start' sign flips.
You should get a bountiful burst of nitro boost.
At the start of the race, wait until immediately after Lakitu
puts his arm down the fourth time and hit
A. If done
correctly, you will get a boost.
Hints: Peach Beach: Shortcut:
As soon as you go onto the beach, go left and up the
ramp to cut a few seconds off your time.
Hints: Recover from lightning:
If you are far ahead and struck by lightning, drive
off a cliff. You will be big again.
Hints: Glitch: DK Mountain: Float:
When you go through the cannon, just as you start to
drop down have someone use a thunder. You will drop and start
floating in the air. This is very difficult to do. If it happens,
you cannot move and will just float there. You can tilt your cart,
but you cannot be shot.
Hints: Faster karts:
Each driver will go slightly faster if they are driving
their own kart. This works well if you are using the Waluigi and
Luigi combination on Waluigi's kart.
Hints: Nintendo staff ghost times:
When you beat a certain time, you will unlock one of
the Nintendo's staff ghost, as follows.

Rainbow Road: Finish 3:19:000; Staff time: 3:16:476
Hints: Dino Land: Shortcuts:
If you have a mushroom and are in the cave with the
geysers, turn right, boost, and you will be able to make the jump.
On the part just before the two bridges, turn right. There is
a narrow path with a boost that takes you to the end of the bridge.
Note: This is very risky and heavier karts have better odds of
making it.
Hints: Mushroom City: Shortcut:
When at the first junction pair, choose the one that
goes straight forwards and stay to the right . You should see
a small pink path cutting through the block and shave off many
seconds. Also, when you come to the bridge area, stay to the right
again to see a small ledge with no Bombcars on it. It is much
safer.
When you get to the part near the finish line, instead of taking
a left into the traffic where all the cars are located, go to
the right onto a thin road covered in dirt. This should make you
go slightly slower, but it is faster than being hit by the cars
on the other side.
When racing on the Mushroom City course in the Star Cup and you
reach the first fork in the track, take a right. You will have
to make another turn, but will have a long straightaway to gain
speed. Keep going straight, until you have to take another turn.
Once you get on the straightaway, do not take any forks; just
go straight.
Hints: Speed kart attribute:
The Speed rating is, of course, the top speed of each
vehicle. Note that the top speed averages only vary 1 to 2 mph
per star, but over 3 laps, it all adds up. The Kart's weight factor
will not only determine how much you slow down if you go off course,
but also how much speed you will lose by making a turn without
power sliding. For example, Bowser's Kart may have a ***** rating
on speed, but the ***** rating on weight tends to make him lose
more speed unless you power slide into your turns. The rule is,
the heavier you are, the more power sliding will be necessary
to keep that nice top speed bonus. Remember, the difference is
fractional, but after three laps it all adds up. Other factors
in-race that will alter your top speed is turning without power
sliding [it will knock you down 1-2 mph], incline of the road
[down-slope faster, up-slope slower], and turning while power
sliding [which will actually raise your top speed 1 mph if you
sustain it] will not lower your speed at all. The class speed
breakdown is as follows. Note: this is an average. One star of
weight more or less will alter the speed 1 mph or so respectively:
| 50cc | 100cc | 150cc/mirror |
| * | 42 mph | 47 mph | 54 mph |
| ** | 43 mph | 48 mph | 55 mph |
| *** | 44 mph | 49 mph | 56 mph |
| **** | 45 mph | 50 mph | 57 mph |
| ***** | 46 mph | 51 mph | 58 mph |
Note: It does not matter who you have driving; speeds remain the
same no matter what character you choose to drive which kart.
Hints: Daisy Cruiser: Shortcut:
Drop down into the cargo area and get a double item
box and an exhaust pipe that will give you a speed boost.
When you are at the point with the life rings on the ropes, hit
one and immediately place a fake box or banana. Other players
will not see them.
When you get to the part near the pool area, instead of taking
a left, slow down, go backwards slightly, and you should see a
thin path on the right side of the pool. This is a little slower
to get to, but its better than getting hit by an item or losing
your lead by other people going faster than you.
box:
Have your kart hit a single item box then hit
Z
to switch characters. The item you received will go to the driver
and you cannot use it until you switch again. Next, drive into
another single item box to get another item. You will now have
two items just like you would get from a double item box.
When you are riding and miss the double item box, and only get
a single, either punch the person with two or hit
Z
and
run over a single or double item box.
Hints: Glitch: Incomplete switching:
Choose any pair of characters and a kart [for example,
Mario, Peach, and the Heart Coach]. Next choose a track with an
animated jump [for example, DK Mountain, getting shot out of the
cannon; or Rainbow Road, getting shot straight up in the tube].
When you get to those places on the track, get shot out of them.
As you are falling, get ready to switch. If you switch characters
just before you hit the ground, you will see the back player switch
to the front, but not the other way. The driver that was supposed
to switch to the back bypassed the switching animation and was
already in the back. Notes: This will also appear in the replay,
however you cannot do this after you have fallen and Lactu has
rescued you.
Hints: Luigi's Circuit: 50cc course change:
When you're racing in the Luigi Circuit, the shortcut
will be covered with grass. In the same track, the shortcut behind
the Chain Chomp will be buried underneath a slope.
Hints: Luigi's Mansion: Shine Theft mode:
When playing Luigi's Mansion in Shine Theft mode, when
they go up or down to find you, change floors.
Hints: More frequent and easier special:
To get any character's special easier and more frequently,
have that character ride their own kart. Note: Some characters
get their specials slightly more frequently on carts other than
their own.
Hints: Rainbow Road: Star power-up:
Sometimes a shooting star appears every once in a while.
When it hits the road, a star will be on the ground for you to
pick up.
Hints: Yoshi Circuit: Shortcuts:
Go all the way through the track until you reach the
tunnel. After going through the tunnel, drive off the edge of
the cliff into the side of the mountain. You must have a star
or mushroom to get this shortcut.
Before you reach the first tunnel, instead of going around to
the left go straight ahead with a boost to shave a few seconds
off your time. There is a jump on the grass.
As you drive out of the mouth tunnel, you will see Nintendo signs.
Veer off the road if you have a mushroom. Use the mushroom as
soon as you hit the edge. You have to do it perfectly or you will
land in the ocean. It will take you down Yoshi's neck, give you
a chance for an item box, and best of all put you in a position
where you do not have to curve around.
After the second turn, go straight up the slope in the grass instead
of turning left. Note: You need a mushroom or star to get past.
Use the mushroom just when you go on the grass.
Note: This trick requires a star. After the tunnel, use the star
to gain speed and jump into the hole in the side of the mountain.
After the finish line, there will be a sharp turn. Get a mushroom
and you will go flying over a pond.
There are two shortcuts, one after the other. The first is easy
to find. It is near the beginning. You just have to go over the
second turn and boost when you are on the grass verge. The second
is difficult to find. When you come out of the cave after the
first jump, there will be a gap in the railing on the left [right
in mirror mode]. If you boost, you can make it to a secret road
in the cliff.
Hints: Easy win:
If you have three controllers, set the game up for
a three player Grand Prix. Have the first and second player be
the two kart duo and you control the lone kart. Play the game
and the odds should be on your side, since one player is gone.
When you finish, complete the other player. This works well when
trying to unlock new bonuses.
On tracks with jumps or narrow paths, ram into your enemies. They
will fall off the edge, wasting their time. This works best with
heavier karts.
In any course that includes a slope, if you make the necessary
calculations to hit them just before they jump, they will fall
down and give you some time.
Hints: Weight kart attribute:
Weight will determine who can bash out who. Heavier
karts will bash around lighter karts obviously and also determine
who the bullies of the game are. Weight affects the other attributes
described above. The higher the weight and speed, the more you
will want to powerslide to maintain top speed.
the arena:
Cookie Land: 2 or 3
Nintendo Gamecube: 2 [or more if you want to have a very fast
battle]
Block City: 2 to 4 or more
Pipe Plaza: 2 to 4 or more
Luigi's Mansion: 3 to 4 or more
Tilt-a-Kart: 2 to 4 or more
Hints: Specials:
the following is a list of each character's special
items:
Mario/Luigi: Fireballs [self-explanatory]
Peach/Daisy: Heart [1-hit shield, receive item that damaged you]
Yoshi/Birdo: Egg [homing bomb, drops items]
Baby Mario/ Baby Luigi: Chain Chomp [giant Chain Chomp pulls you
around, attacking enemies]
Koopa/Paratroopa: Triple Shells [self explanatory, red or green]
DK/Diddy Kong: Giant Banana [giant banana, explodes into three
little bananas when hit]
Bowser/ Bowser Jr: Bowser Shell [giant shell]
Toad/Toadette: Super Mushroom [unlimited mushroom for short period
of time]
Petey Piranha/ King Boo: Any Special [any special item, position
most likely determines item]
Hints: Mushroom Bridge: Shortcuts:
Drive on the bridge to get a massive speed boost; just
do not fall off.
If you have a mushroom, you can go up the dirt hill and shave
a lot of time off your score.
Once you start the race, turn right as soon as you get off the
bridge [left in mirror mode]. You should see an open path. Drive
down that path and you will soon reach a large green pipe. When
you enter it, it should instantly warp you back onto the track
from the top of the pipe into a 2-Item box.
Hints: Avoid spiked shells:
To avoid Spiked shells [the ones that go to the first
place person], when you are on a turn, skid. Immediately before
it hits, do a mini turbo. Note: This is very difficult to do,
and it only works for sharp turns.
Hints: Pass items:
Note: This can only be dine in two player mode. If
you pick up a double '?' box so that both the players
get power-ups, and the driver cannot switch with the passenger
at the moment, the driver can 'pass' his item onto the
passenger by hiting the
X
or
Y. This is useful
if one person is good at driving and one at shooting, or if it
is too confusing to switch.
Hints: Dry Dry Ruins: Shortcut:
When near the pit with the Sand-Pirahna, remember the
following: he will not eat you if you have a star; and you can
power slide in the pit and perform a mini-turbo to dash out the
other side.
