Turbo Boost after Lakitu Retrieval
Added on
2006-11-27 at 21:36:49
If you fall off the track or get stuck underwater for more than a couple moments, Lakitu comes to pull you out and place you on the track again. When he picks you up, wait until just before you touch the track again, then press the acceleration and you'll get a turbo boost if you timed it correctly.

Easy Win
Added on
2006-11-27 at 21:37:04
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. Also 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.

After completing a Time Trial race (When it says Retry, Change Track, etc,), press L,R,L,R,X,Y,X,Y,Z. The code that pops up was for a Japanese contest. Totally useless, but it's interesting that they forgot to take that out.

Speed Kart Attribute
Added on
2006-11-27 at 21:38:23
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:
Note: It does not matter who you have driving; speeds remain the same no matter what character you choose to drive.

Rainbow Road Falling Stars
Added on
2006-11-27 at 21:36:37
You may have noticed there are a lot of stars on Rainbow Road. And many of them fall. And some of those that fall fall on the track. Where those stars fall, they turn into star items, just sitting there. Some of these are dangerously close to the edge, but if you can get one (esspecially when you're already near the front and there's no other way to get one) it's a nice bonus. Only problem is that they're the same color as banana peels, so be sure before you run over something yellow!

Mushroom City Quick Boosts
Added on
2006-11-27 at 21:36:23
As you may have noticed on the Mushroom City course, among the traffic are vehicles shaped/colored like the Mushroom items. If you run into them, you don't spin out like you would against other cars; rather a Mushroom is thrown from the back for you to collect/use for a quick boost!

Mario Circuit Goomba Boosts
Added on
2006-11-27 at 21:24:16
If the Goombas on Mario Circuit are hit with a turtle shell, they will be squished into the ground and a boost will fly off them. If a thunderbolt is used on the course, it will squish them all and there will be several boosts lying in that area. It doesn't work the same as the mushroom cars; if you hit a goomba they stay solid and you spin around a bit. Turtle shells are you're best bet.

During a mushroom boost, or invinceability, ram into an opponent. Instead of them popping a ballon, you gain theirs. This does not work if you have three balloons, but they lose one normally.

Shortcuts in Mushroom Bridge
Added on
2006-11-27 at 21:37:42
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.
