Sure there have already been some great games in the short life of the GBA, namely Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, and Castlevania: Circle of the Moon, but if there was one game that was anticipated by the masses, and that Nintendo could use to get the GBA off to an excellent start, Mario Kart: SC is it. First shown at Spaceworld 2000 and looking very promising then, Mario Kart: SC has been in development for some time. It didn’t quite make the launch of the GBA, but those extra few months of development time really paid off. The final product is one of the greatest not only on the GBA, but of all time... I kid you not. Gameplay ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ I can remember my first time in a go kart. Yep, back then we didn’t have these jibba jabbery, hooba doobery, newfangled mushrooms and shells. No in my day you had to use pure guts and determination. As long as you had a good, well bred and well looked after stallion leading your go kart around the dirt tracks, and plenty of skill, you could become a great go kart racer. Yes in my day, we saw things only in black and white. There wasn’t a bit of Mode 7 to be seen... you didn’t hear us complaining did you? Yes, in my day to be a great go kart racer, you’d get up at 3:00am in the morning, eat your prune and cheese cereal and then you’d be off for th.... Zzzzzzzz Mario Kart: SC takes all the best elements of the two previous games (the Snes and N64 incarnations), squeezes them into a tiny cartridge, adds its own new elements and then lets you play them anywhere you want. For those unfamiliar with how the Mario Kart games, I’ll give you the quick lowdown. You race in a number of different Cups, each with four races. You race three or five laps against 8 other racers. Points are given out for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th places. By then end of the four races, the player with the most points wins and is awarded the Gold Trophy. To help you out in your races are a number of collectable items, such as shells that you can shoot, speed boosts and bananas (racers spin out when they run over one). There are three modes of play to be found in the single player part of MK: SC. They are Mario GP, Time Trial and Quick Run. They are kind of self explanatory. There are five different cups for you to race in Mario GP, with four three lap races. You can race these on 50cc, 100cc and 150cc. As you move up the cc’s you’re opponents will be smarter, more aggressive and a lot harder to beat. Beating all of the races on 150cc will be a good challenge. You can also unlock the 20 tracks that were in Super Mario Kart on the SNES. To do this, you’ll have to not only win a gold cup, but over the four races you’ll have to collect 100 or more coins. The races themselves are reasonably short, and usually take from 1:00 to 1:45 to complete the three laps. There are 8 familiar Mario faces for you to choose, Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Yoshi, Toad, Donkey Kong, Bowser and Wario. Each character is unique, but fits into one of three categories, heavyweight, middlewieght or lightweight. Throughout the 20 normal levels and 20 bonus levels you’ll race around beaches, go-kart specific circuits, desert, on a cheese planet..., alongside rivers, through the snow, in Bowser’s castle, across broken piers at night and much more. Hell, you’ll even race up in the sky across clouds. There is also a special ratings system the game uses when you complete a cup. You’ll be awarded ***, **, *, A, B, C, D or E. To get the better ratings you’ll need to collect as many coins as possible, get the lowest lap and race times as you can, and more. Getting the three star ratings on each track will take a looooong time. Mario Kart: SC reeks of that classic Nintendo gameplay, the races are very fun and challenging. You will be playing it for months, I can assure you. 9.6/10 Graphics ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Wow. That one word pretty much sums up the graphics of MK: SC. There is not a single thing I can think of to complain about. The first thing you’ll notice is the detailed, colourful and wonderfully animated game menus. Next will be the great racer models. In all honesty, they look as good as the N64’s models. They are must more colourful, and crisper, on the GBA version, animated equally as well, but (obviously) running in a lower res. Once you start racing, Mario Kart: SC will show its true colours. For a 2D game, this is as close to 3D as you’ll find anywhere. Advanced mode 7 scaling has been used to create a seamless 3D look, while still running the game in 2D. One thing worth mentioning is the really cool multi-layered rotational backgrounds. When you see them in action you’ll get what I mean. These really help create an even greater 3D effect while racing. All of the items you’ll use are made up of animated sprites, also giving the illusion of them being 3D. The game runs constantly at a very nice framerate as well. Mario Kart: SC is almost as much a joy too look at as it it to play. And to think that graphics of this quality are already being realised so early in the GBA’s life. This is the best looking 2D game I can remember playing.. unless you count Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 for the GBA (but it uses polygons for the characters). 9.4/10 Sound ŻŻŻŻŻ Nintendo games are famous for great gameplay, and great music (among other things), so naturally I was expecting great, catchy music. As usual, Nintendo didn’t disappoint. With the power of the GameBoy Advance, blips and blops in portable games are a thing of the past. There are plenty of different tunes to keep your ears happy. They are very well composed, catchy, and yes, a lot of them are 'happy'. Bass guitars seem to be used in quite a lot of the music. Of course the music is different for each track, and suits the theme of the tracks themselves very well. The spooky tracks have eerie music, the jungle tracks have a lot of drums and bongos used and so on. As you begin your final lap of each race the music will speed up, which is a nice little effect that Nintendo seem to implement in a lot of racing titles like Mario Kart. On the sound effect side of things, I’m also very pleased. There are sound for everything you’d expect. The kart engines sound great, when you collide with another races there is a satisfying crashing sound, when you car skids you hear tires screech, the weapons all have their own sound effects etc. Actual voice samples have been used for all of the characters, which sound surprisingly good, and add to the audio side of the game very nicely. Great music topped off with great sound effects. The first three categories are looking mighty fine. 9.5/10 Multiplayer ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Well, two days ago when I finished this review, I hadn’t yet had a chance to play the multiplayer mode of Mario Kart: SC. Thankfully, I’ve now had the opportunity to give muliplayer a good run through. There are three modes of multiplayer for you to enjoy. Grand Prix, VS and Battle Arena. In Grand Prix you race in any of the cups player one has unlocked, competing for the gold trophy. This can be great fun, and will keep you happy for hours. VS mode is just like Grand Prix, but only you and the other player racing you (the other CPU racers aren’t included in the races). Battle Arena, is just like the N64 and SNES Mario Kart versions. You can choose to play in one of four arenas, you each have three 'lives' (represented by balloons) and you pick up items that you use to attack the other players with. This is great fun for two people, but add another person or two and the real fun starts. Battle Mode is awesome fun. I can’t wait for the next trip I take in car or on a bus or plane with a few of my friends! *dances* 9.3/10 Story/Plot ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ As far as an actual story goes, Mario Kart: SC doesn’t have one. Presumably Mario and friend have gotten together to have some competitive fun, and go-karts just happened to be the way to do it. Of course, I wasn’t expecting a story, it’s not like this is an epic RPG or something. N/A Originality ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ As far as I know, Super Mario Kart was the very first Kart racing game. After the enormous success of Super Mario Kart other companies knew kart racing games were a winner, and so they brought out their own kart racers. Considering this is the third (and in my opinion the best) instalment or the original kart racing game, I have to give this a high originality score. 9.2/10 Controls ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ There’s a button for everything here, and in the perfect places. It seems like the GBA was made to play Mario Kart: SC on. You d-pad moves you around, A accelerates, B brakes, the left shoulder button fires/holds a weapon, and the right shoulder button jumps/powerslides. Start pauses and Select honks your horn. The controls themselves are very accurate and responsive. There’s nothing to complain about controls wise. Perfect. 9.7/10 Replayability ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ This is on of those games that you will be playing for months, and then years later you’ll still pick up and play on the odd occasion. I’ll do a breakdown of what there is to do, to give you an idea of just how replayable this is. Single Player -> 5 cups (10 all up because of the snes tracks) -> 3 difficulty levels on each cup -> 8 ranks to attain on each cup in on each difficulty level -> 100 coins on each cup on each difficulty level required to unlock Snes counterparts. If you don’t quite get the idea, that is a **** load of stuff to do. Time Trail - This will keep you busy for quite a while, because the game is so fun that you’ll really enjoy shaving 0.2 of a second of your best overall time for each track. The ability to save 10 ghosts all up is also really handy, and cool. And you can trade ghost with your friends, so it’s just like you’re racing them :P Multiplayer - You can play three types of multiplayer game, Grand Prix, VS and Battle Arena. Each of these are really fun, and will assure you keep playing MK: SC for months, even years to come. 9.3/10 Difficulty ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Mario Kart: Super Circuit caters for everyone. With three difficulty levels, you’ll have a fairly easy time getting golds on the 50cc and 100cc modes, but getting golds on all ten cups on 150cc mode will be vary difficult. As you master the game you’ll want to try and achieve the ultimate status on each of the cups, on each of the difficulty levels (three stars), which is extremely hard, but is possible, with practice, patients and skill. Load Times ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ I really can’t see portables going to discs of any kind in the near future. Portable gaming has to be easy to just pick up and play with no hassles. As you should know, the GameBoy Advance uses very small (in physical size) cartridges, that can store a lot of data, but have literally no load times. That means that as soon as you want to start a race, you can. Long live cartridges!....... (in portables at least :P). Pros ŻŻŻŻ (_) 40 single player tracks! That is insane! (_) Classic, brilliant Nintendo gameplay. (_) Excellent music, and sound effects. (_) Great graphics, and to think they’ve been achieved so early in the life of the GBA. (_) With an extensive single player mode, you will surely be playing for months. (_) This, as far as I’m concerned is the best game out for the GameBoy Advance to date (note, Advance Wars is almost out in Australia, and I have a feeling that it may just top the excellence of Mario Kart :SC) (_) Three great multiplayer modes, for up to four people. Talk about fun. Cons ŻŻŻŻ (_) You are unable to switch between the on-screen map, and your speedometer during races. Not a huge problem, but I was expecting to be able to do so :P Buy/rent ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Come on! I’m sure you’ve gathered so far that this is a must buy. Unless you have some sense and realise my reviews stink, so you just skipped down here to see if I thought it was worth buying or not. Well, this is a 100%, positive must have. As I’ve said, this, in my opinion is THE BEST GBA GAME to date. If you don’t have the game, go buy it not, if you don’t have a GBA then this is well worth the purchase of the system, just so you can play it. Alternate Action ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ On the GBA: - Konami Krazy Racers Other Systems: - Mario Kart 64 (Nintendo 64) - Super Mario Kart (Super NES) - Diddy Kong Racing (Nintendo 64) - Crash Team Racing (Playstation) - Wacky Wheels (PC) - Wacky Races (Dreamcast) Overall ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Probably the most well known title in the GBA’s short life, Mario Kart: Super Circuit is also its best. Nintnedo really know how to make games, and this is a prime example of why Nintendo are the greatest video game developers in the world, followed closely by Rareware and Sega.

ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ In races, it is used to slam on the brakes of your kart. _____ D-Pad - You use the D-pad to navigate menus, and steer your kart when racing. ŻŻŻŻŻ _____________________ Right Shoulder Button - While racing, hit the Right shoulder button to jump. ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ While in the air, turn left or right to being a powerslide. You'll need to master the powerslide if you want to be the best racer you can be. ____________________ Left Shoulder Button - The left shoulder button is used to fire/use the ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ item/weapon you have. You can hold the Left Shoulder button when you have a banana, single green or single red shell to hold it behind your kart (which will act as a sheild) and while holding an item you can pick up another. _____ Start - Start acts like like the A button in game menus, and will pause the ŻŻŻŻŻ game when racing. ______ Select - Select honks the horn of your kart when racing. Each kart has a ŻŻŻŻŻŻ different sounding horn. ______________________________________________________________________________ Advanced Controls ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ _________ Spin Turn - This is pretty much for mucking around in multiplayer, or if you ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ run into a problem while racing (literally). Hold A and B and either left or right on the D-pad. Your kart will spin around very fast on the spot. You can turn 360 degrees in about a second. If you hit a wall, and need to turn around 180 degrees in a hurry, then by all means use the spin turn, but you'll loose a lot of time, just from making the mistake or not being an elite driver >:P ________________________ Special Weapon Functions - Just hitting the fire button will use/fire the ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ weapon's normal mode of fire. But some weapons have a second function, and here I list them: __________________ Single Green Shell - If you hold down on the d-pad and fire a green ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ shell, it will fire directly behind you, instead of infront of you. ________________ Single Red Shell - If you hold down on the d-pad and fire a red ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ shell, it will stop exactly where you shot it, and wait for the next kart to pass it, when this happens, it will home in on them. Very sneaky. ______ Banana - Hold up/forward on the d-pad when you have a ŻŻŻŻŻŻ banana and you'll fire it infront of you, instead of dropping it behind you. _________________ Blue Spiked Shell - Hold down and fire the blue spiked shell/spiny ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ shell and it will wait where you left it (like a red shell) and when the leader of the race comes past it next, it will chase after them. ______________________________________________________________________________ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ (7) BASICS ______________________________________________________________________________ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ The idea of this section, is to baby you through the way that Mario Kart: Super Circuit works. ______________________________________________________________________________ The "cc" Classes ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ____ 50cc - Think of this as your training for the "real" game. The very first time ŻŻŻŻ I played my copy of Mario Kart: Super Circuit I went to the 50cc mushroom cup, and my places were three 1st's and one 2nd. This mode will help you to get to know the tracks a bit better, and give you a good feel for the game. If you manage to have problems with 50cc mode.... and you're old enough to read this then perhaps playing games isn't your ideal recreational activity. _____ 100cc - In 100cc, at first you can run into some problems, because at this ŻŻŻŻŻ stage, you still won't have mastered the controls of the game, or know the tracks off by heart. 100cc though, shouldn't give you toooooo hard of a time. By 100cc, you'll be getting to know tracks better, and figuring out small strategies and so on that can only be discovered through practice. _____ 150cc - This is where it's at! Races will be fast, intense and have the edge ŻŻŻŻŻ of your seat right through. By 150cc, you will know the tracks well, and by the time you get a gold trophy on a cup, you'll know the tracks like the back of your hand. Expect very tough races on 150cc. ______________________________________________________________________________ On Screen Display ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ A B C D D | | | | | | | | | | \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / +------------------------------------------------------------------+ |() 48 LAP 2/3 -------- TIME 1'23''45 | | | | | |+------+ | | | E---> || | | | | || | | | | || | -------- | |+------+ | | | |+------+ | || | | F---> || | | || | | |+------+ *** | | ** * | |+------+ *** * | || | ** * | G---> || | ** * | || | * * | |+------+ *** * | | * * | |+------+ ** * | || | ** * | H---> || | ** * | || | * ******* | |+------+ *** * | | * ** **| | ** ** ******* | | * ** *** | | *** ST **** | +------------------------------------------------------------------+ / \ / \ | | | | I J A - This shows how many coins you have collected so far, in the current race you are in.

How to perform: When approaching a corner, move to the inside of it. As the corner starts to bend, tap the Right shoulder button, and the direction the corner turns (left for left, right for right). You will skid around the corner very nicely, and go from the inside of the corner, towards the outside, but hopefully you'll remain on the road. Sometimes (on the sharper turns) you can get a speed boost at the end of the turn, as long as you didn't let off the gas too much, or hit the brakes during the turn.

Coins have two pusposes. The first, and least important, is the fact that if you are run into with 0 coins, you WILL spin out. So picking up coins creates a buffer against being rammed, and spun out that way. The second, and more important purpose of collecting coins, is that the more coins you collect, the faster you will race, which really pays off in the scheme of things. ______________________________________________________________________________ Drifting ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ This is a great way to overtake karts that are reasonably close infront of you. All you have to do, when another racer is infront of you, is line your kart up dirrctly behind theirs, and after 1 or 2 seconds, your kart will get a slight boost of speed, which will enable you to pull out to one side and overtake the racer who was ahead of you. ______________________________________________________________________________ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ (8) CHARACTERS ______________________________________________________________________________ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ______________________________________________________________________________ LightWeights ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ _____ Peach ŻŻŻŻŻ .-----------------. | Speed: ***** | | | | Weight: * | | | '-----------------' Nintendo Description: "Princess Peach is one of the speediest drivers on the Super Circuit, but she has to be careful to avoid contact with other karts. Once small bump and she can be knocked off the track." Pyro says: Peach is my number one choice of racers, in terms of who is "best" to race with for me. Peach is light, and very fast and she has great handling. Peach can get pushed around a bit, but she isn't as easily bullied as Toad. For a beginner, and even an expert, Peach is a great character to race with. Jarred says: When the Princess isn't being held captive by Bowser she must practise her go kart driving. This time around she is quite good driver having some of the best acceleration and sharpest handling in the game. But being the petit princess she is, she gets pushed around quite a bit by the other racers. Being light in weight has its advantages though, like not loosing too much speed going of the track. ____ Toad ŻŻŻŻ .-----------------. | Speed: ***** | | | | Weight: * | | | '-----------------' Nintendo Description: "Toad is a speed demon, but his small size makes him vunerable to Bowser and DK's bullying ways. Try not to bump into other drivers while controlling the fun guy." Pyro says: Toad is also very fast, and handles very well. The problem however, is that being so damn small, he is pushed around very easily (see: knocked off the track when just about anyone touches him). I don't recommend toad, especially in the later difficulty classes, as there is a lot of ramming and the last thing you want is to be pushed around like a feather on wheels. Jarred says: Toad is my favourite lightweight. His top-notch acceleration gives you a nice start off the starting line and a quick boost back into the race just incase you sink or a fall off the edge of the course. The little guy also has great handling to take care of those tight turns. So you say, "This guy sounds great! What more could you want?" Just a bit more fat I'm afraid. This guy gets knocked around the track quite easily. So watchout for the likes of Bowser and the other heavies if you decide to use him. _____ Yoshi ŻŻŻŻŻ .-----------------. | Speed: **** | | | | Weight: ** | | | '-----------------' Nintendo Description: "Yoshi is a bit heavier than Toad and Peach, but slightly slower as well. If you're willing to sacrifice a little speed for increased stability, give the dino a go." Pyro says: I was really hoping Yoshi would be the way peach is (but not knocked around quite so easily). Unfortunately, yoshi handles worse than peach and toad, and is slower as well. Yoshi always seems to be my character of choice in Mario games, and usually seems to be the best for me as well. This time though, good old Yoshi doesn't quite cut it. Jarred says: Everybody's favourite green dinosaur is back. He is a bit slower than the other lightweights and his handling is a bit looser due to him being a bit heavier. Still, if you don't want to bumped around like Peach and Toad do against the heavier racers but still want to have that lightweights touch to it, then give Yoshi a whirl. ______________________________________________________________________________ MiddleWeights ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ _____ Mario ŻŻŻŻŻ .-----------------. | Speed: *** | | | | Weight: *** | | | '-----------------' Nintendo Description: "Mario is a well-balanced driver with equal Speed and Weight attributes. He's a great choice for beginning drivers looking to get a feel for the road." Pyro says: Mario will probably the first character a lot of people who play MK:SC choose. Mario is well rounded. He is not as fast as any of the lightweihts, nor does he handle as well. Personally, I can't see too much point in using Mario, unless you don't want to be pushed around as much as the lightweights, but want better handling, and acceleration than the heavyweights. Jarred says: He's rescued Princess's, partyed, smashed a few fellow Nintendo characters, and even plays both golf and tennis. But most importantly (in this game anyway), he can drive a go kart. Quite well too. His speed and handling are balanced and average. People who are new to Mario Kart might want to choose Mario because he isn't slow in acceleration like the heavyweights and he isn't knocked around the track like a lightweight. _____ Luigi ŻŻŻŻŻ .-----------------. | Speed: *** | | | | Weight: *** | | | '-----------------' Nintendo Description: "Like his brother, Luigi is a well-rounded driver. He has average speed and weight, which makes his kart very easy to keep under control." Pyro says: Luigi is slimmer than his brother, and this is reflected in the way he drives. Luigi handles a bit better than Mario, and he has a bit more speed, but he is also pushed around a bit easier than Mario. Jarred says: He's rescued Princess's, partyed, smashed a few fellow Nintendo characters, done some ghost busting and even plays both golf and tennis. But most importantly (in this game anyway), he can drive a go kart. WAIT A MINUTE! That looked a bit familiar. As you can tell, Luigi is like his brother, Mario, and just like Mario, his stats are fairly even. His turning seems to be better than Mario's but gets bumped around more. ______________________________________________________________________________ HeavyWeights ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ___________ Donkey Kong ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ .-----------------. | Speed: ** | | | | Weight: **** | | | '-----------------' Nintendo Description: "Adventurer, rapper and master driver. Is there anything that Donkey Kong can't do? DK is heavy enough to avoid being pushed around, but he still has decent speed." Pyro says: Ah, Donkey Kong. Everybody loves Donkey Kong. Right? Just by looking at DK it is very obvious that he's one big and heavy ape. Nobody pushes DK around. DK handles fairly slippery, and I certainly don't recommend him for the beginner. While his top speed is nice, he takes a fair while to get going, and it takes a skilled player to be able to keep him on the road. If you're sick of being pushed around, and are getting to be quite good at MK:SC then DK might just be your ape. Not for beginners! Jarred says: Donkey Kong, king of the swing, is back for more racing with Mario and the gang. Like the previous times, Donkey Kong handling isn't very sharp but he has the best for a heaveyweight. Also it takes him abit longer to get started, but once he gets going he can certainly drive fast! DK is a fairly heavy guy (most gorillas are you know) so he can't knocked around much. My favourite heavyweight. _____ Wario ŻŻŻŻŻ .-----------------. | Speed: ** | | | | Weight: **** | | | '-----------------' Nintendo Description: "The most obnoxious driver on the Circuit, Wario is always happy to guffaw at other drivers as they eat his dust. He has great speed once he gets going and -obviously - ample weight to stay ontrack." Pyro says: The FAT, evil brother of Mario and Luigi. Wario handles fairly similar to DK (low acceleration, relatively poor handling, and a decent top speed). Again, I don't recommend Wario, at least not for the novice gamer. If however you have a craving to race as an evil character, it's a choice between Wario and Bowser. Jarred says: The imfamous Wario is described as "True heavy power", and he sure is. His handling isn't as good as Donkey Kong's and he has a poor acceleration, but has a very nice top speed. Try not to steer this guy off the track much, he looses alot of speed. ______ Bowser ŻŻŻŻŻŻ .-----------------. | Speed: * | | | | Weight: ***** | | | '-----------------' Nintendo Description: "With road rage pumping through his veins, Bowser is the biggest brute on the track. It's impossible to push him around, but his weighty shell makes his acceleration suffer. Pyro says: It would take a damn earthquake to move the long-time nemesis of Mario, Bowser. Bowser, is fat, heavy and sloooooooooooow. Every track seems like you're karting on ice when you're driving with bowser. Sticking to the track can be a painful task. Of course he's not all bad (no pun intended ;). In Time Trail mode, as long as you are a great driver, Bowser can be a good idea to use, as his top speed (if you can ever get to it) is pretty high. Jarred says: Bowser is the biggest, baddest racer on the circuit. There is nobody faster than him. The sad thing is that it can be a bit tricky reaching this top speed. His acceleration and handling is quite poor. Too make things worse for the big fella is his weight. Sure, know body can knock him around but once those tires are off the track, they will want to sink straight into the grass and sand. ______________________________________________________________________________ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ (9) ITEMS ______________________________________________________________________________ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ___________ Green Shell ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Description: Green shells are your classic projectile weapon. The direction you shoot them is the direction they go. If a shell misses someone, it will continue bouncing around the place until it does hit someone. You can hold shells behind your kart to make a shield against attack from behind. If you hold down on the d-pad when you shoot a single green shell it will fire directly behind you, instead of going forward. ___________________ Triple Green Shells ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Description: When you hit fire after picking up the triple green shells they will begin rotating around your vehicle, creating a rotating shield which, 9 times out of 10 will protect from from attacks from all directions. Triple green shells are fired one at a time, and cannot be fired backwards. _________ Red Shell ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Description: Red shels are Mario Kart's equivalent of a homing missile. When fired in the general direction of another racer, the red shell will trace their vehicle and always hit them from behind. You can hold single red shells behind you, to act like a shield, just like green shells. If you hold down on the d-pad and fire a red shell it will remain exactly where you fired it, and will home in on the next racer to approach it. _________________ Triple Red Shells ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Description: When you hit fire after picking up the triple red shells, just like the triple green shells, they will begin rotating around your vehicle, creating a rotating shield which, 9 times out of 10 will protect from from attacks from all directions. Triple red shells are fired one at a time, and cannot be fired while holding down to make them remain where you shot them until a racer comes past. They act just like single red shells, and chase after whoever you aimed them at. _________________ Blue Spiked Shell ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Description: Most of the time, you'll only ever find this sucker when you are in, or very close to last place, and even then it is a rarity. Of course, there is a reason it is so rare, see, when you fire the spiked blue shell (also known as Spiny Shell), it homes in on the racer who is in 1st position, but not only does it attack them, but it crashes into every kart along its way. Of course, you can hold fire, and the blue spiked shell will remain behind your kart, just like a red or green shell, or a banana would, and anyone who crashes into it will spin out, and the good thing is that as well as providing a shield, and a weapon, it will remain behind you, no matter how many times karts, or weapons hit it. If you hold down and fire the blue spiked shell, it will remain where you left it behind your kart, and when the player in first place comes past it next, just like the red shell's secondary mode, it will chase after them. Personally, I think using the normal method is more favourable, because it hits everyone ahead of you, rather than just the person in 1st place. ____ Star ŻŻŻŻ Description: Probably one of the more useful items to get. The star gives you temporary invincibility, it also increases your speed, and if anyone else touches you while you're using a star, they will spin out just as if you shot a shell at them. The further back in the pack you are, the more likely you are to get a star. ______ Banana ŻŻŻŻŻŻ Description: What weapon based racing game would be complete with the good old equivalent of an oil slick? Just hitting the fire button when you've got a banana will cause it to drop on the ground behind you, and the next racer to ride over it will skid, and spin out. The secondary mode of fire for the banana, has almost two functions. If you hold forward when you shoot a banana, it will shoot out and up and land a little distance infront of you. The use for this? One you can throw it in the path of oncomming racers, and two, you can throw it at racers. If you hit them, they'll spin out too. One interesting thing you might notice, is that getting a banana while in last place is nigh impossible. ___ Boo ŻŻŻ Description: Besides the blue shell, Boos are probably the rarest item in the game. Usually, you'll pick up a Boo when in the middle, to the back of the pack. However, that's not to say that you can't get them while in first place, they are just more common when you're coming worse in the race. Use a boo, and you'll become invisible, and while invisible, you'll also be immune from attacks from other races. On top of that, using a Boo will attack the racer in 1st position, by both slowing them down for a while, and taking coins from them. ________ Mushroom ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Description: Mushrooms....... no not the kind that you buy for the street for $50 bucks a pop..... opps, drug reference for G rated game.... sorry. Mushrooms just give you a one second big speed boost. You have to be careful using mushrooms, especially near corners, or you could end up with disasterous results. _________ Lightning ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Description: I wish I could control lighning in reality. But for the moment at least..*cough* I'll have to stick to Mario Kart for my electric fun. Lightning is most commonly found when you're in the back half of the pack. Fire ligning, and the background of the level you're in will flash, just as if lightning has stuck, and all of the racers who aren't invincible, or using a Boo will be zapped, they will then by shrunk, which causes them to move much slower, and if you run into someone who is small they will be spun out. _____ Coins ŻŻŻŻŻ Description: These, you'll find scattered about every track you race in. For each coin you collect, you'll gain a tiny amount of top speed. Coins also act as a buffer against being spun out when another racer runs into you. Instead of spinning out, you'll just drop a coin. Coins collected are cumulative for each cup, and the game keeps track of how many coins you collected in total at the end of each cup. ________ Item Box ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Description: These are what you get items from. The sides of the box rotate quickly in colour, going from red, yellow, orange, blue and green. Drive through an item box to pick up an item duh :P Then you'll be given an almost random weapon. ______________________________________________________________________________ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ (10) SUPER CIRCUIT TRACKS ______________________________________________________________________________ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ______________________________________________________________________________ MUSHROOM CUP ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ______________________________________________________________________________ Peach Circuit ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ The first track in the entire game. This is where 99% of people's first memory of the game will be. This course is geared towards the beginner, and rightfully so. Nice soft, and easy turns. This course will help you come to grips with the way the game works, and help you get used to handling your kart. ______________________________________________________________________________ Shy Guy Beach ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ I'd hate the be the mechanic who had to clean the sand out of every last nook and cranny of the karts after a race along Shy Guy Beach. This is your first introduction to a "non-course", where instead of racing on a track, you race on another surface. You'll drive around a series of islands, linked by shallow water. Stray too far off course and into the deep water and you'll sink as fast as if you were in a heavy go-kart or something...... The course is pretty easy, providing you can stick to the sand, and not end up on the bottom of the sea bed. ______________________________________________________________________________ Riverside Park ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Not to sound repetitive...but this is your first taste of slippery track. You race on dirt, which at times will seem a bit much for the novice driver. Until you've come to grips a bit more with turning, you will find it hard to stick to the track, and stay off the grass. You can royally **** up and end up in water, if you really go off course, but once you've played it through a couple of times, Riverside Park will seem like a piece of cake..... (well, it IS a piece of cake). ______________________________________________________________________________ Bowser Castle 1 ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ This course couldn't be easier.. well, not muc easier. At first you may have some problems with the right angle turns, but once you've got them down pat the first Bowser Castle track will be a breeze. Oh, ans try to avoid the thwomps (of Super Mario 64 fame) that are waiting to make go-kart pancakes.. ______________________________________________________________________________ FLOWER CUP ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ______________________________________________________________________________ Mario Circuit ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Mario Circuit will introduce you to some slightly more difficult turns, but isn't going to give to too much trouble. Being a specifically designed go-kart circuit, you'd have to say Mario Circuit has been designed for the amature racer. Keep an eye out for the boost pad, that is found on a piece of track that branches off to the left of the track, towards the very end of the race. ______________________________________________________________________________ Boo Lake ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Set at night, along an eerie dark wooden track, raised high above a dark valley, Boo Lake will fill your pants with poo.. Ok, maybe not. This track is fairly basic, but until you know it's layout, may give you some minor trouble. If you think this is bad, you are in for one hell of a shock.. ______________________________________________________________________________ Cheese Land ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Question: What happens when you slip some acid into the track designer's drink? Answer: Cheese Land. Cheese Land is set in a galaxy far far away.... The entire planet is made out of mountainous piles of cheese, with plenty of huge craters, and the occasional flat plain. I presume you've all raced on cheese before, so I don't need to tell you how slippery it is, right? As well as the slippery track, you have to watch out for blue mice, who walk back and fourth across the track, and will cause you to spin out if you hit one of them. Cheese land is of average difficulty, but will give the beginner some trouble. ______________________________________________________________________________ Bowser Castle 2 ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Bowser Castle 2 is more like it. There's planty of lava hopping, as well as turns that can be difficult at first. As well as those, there are a couple of thwomps to flatten you if you are in the wrong place at the wrong time. Still nothing too hard, but I'm sure this track will be up there with one of the harder track you'll have encountered to this point. ______________________________________________________________________________ LIGHTNING CUP ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ______________________________________________________________________________ Luigi Circuit ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Did you know rain makes roads slippery? Well did you also know that it makes even more slippery piddles? Oh, good then. That means you know how luigi circuit will be. At first I had a bit of trouble with Luigi Circuit, but once I knew the layout of the track, and how to powersilde properly I was fine. ______________________________________________________________________________ Sky Garden ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Now this is a track I certainly didn't expect. You race along a track made of clouds, floating high above the earth. It goes without saying that you don't want to fall off the track. Sky garden is slightly slippery, but overall a very easy track. ______________________________________________________________________________ Cheep-Cheep Island ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Named after the giant fish that swims in the waters of this peaceful island, Cheep-Cheep is quite a nice track. It's quite easy to end up in the deep water that surrounds most of the island if you're not careful, as the slippery track, along with the sometimes sharp turns are designed to put you in the drink, if not navigated preperly. Overall however, Cheep-Cheep Island is easy. ______________________________________________________________________________ Sunset Wilds ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Oh my.... The first time I played Sunset Wilds I was too busy listening to the start of the music to actually concentrate on racing. As soon as I heard it, Back to the Future III popped into my mind. Enough on the music though. Sunset wilds itslef is a great track. Set through three stages of sunset (the sunset progressed each lap you complete), the track looks great. Sunset Wilds is set in the wilds west, out in desert area. You can see beautiful rock formations in the distance, and so on. The track is slippery, as you are racing on dirt. There is one section with a huge line of boost pads, which will give you an insane kick of speed, but you'll have to watch out for the Shy Guy teepees, which, if driven into will end up loosing you quite a few coins, and a bit of time as well. Sunset wilds is one of my favourite track in the game, and provides a good challenge. ______________________________________________________________________________ STAR CUP ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ______________________________________________________________________________ Snow Land ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Snow Land is probably the most slippery track in the game. You race on a track of ice, with thick snow lining the outside of the track. Come off the track and into the snow and you'll slow down quite a lot. There are also huge puddles along parts of the track, which are so deep your entire kart can become submerged in them. Snow Land is fairly difficult, and until you know the track well, I'm sure you will have some difficulty with it. ______________________________________________________________________________ Ribbon Road ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Question: How high was the track designer when they thought of ribbon road? Answer: Way too high. Ribbon Road is a real case of O_O The track is lined with giftwrapped boxes, and the actual track itself is made of red ribbon. What's so special about this ribbon is the fact that it is super grippy. This means you'll be able to take sharp turns with ease. Ribbon road quite an easy track.... escpecially with the sticky track, not the mention the insane shortcut. ______________________________________________________________________________ Yoshi Desert ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Set in the Yoshi version of Egypt, Yoshi Desert is how one would expect it to be. There are huge pyramids in the distance, as well as a Yoshi sphinx :P You race on sand, and as you can figure out, it is more slippery than most tracks. If you happen to come off the track, you'll need to watch out for the quicksand whirlpools... Yoshi Desert isn't all that hard, as by this stage in the game you should probably have gotten the hang of powersliding on slippery surfaces anyway. ______________________________________________________________________________ Bowser Castle 3 ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Bowser Castle 3 has quite a number of thwomps, as well as it's fair share of 90 degree turns.

Lakeside park will take a bit of practice before you are winning races consistantly (especially on 150cc), and so it should. The final normal cup in the game shouldn't be easy at all. ______________________________________________________________________________ Broken Pier ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ There are plenty of places to fall of the track that is broken pier. Though as is the case with most track, once you've driven through it a few times, and got to know the layout of the track, you shouldn't have too hard of a time winning races consistantly. There are a lot of boos that linger around the place, and every so often one of them might hover above you, and slow you down. ______________________________________________________________________________ Bowser Castle 4 ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ The final Bowser Caslte in the GBA exclusive cups, Bowser Castle 4 is no pushover. There are tight, thin turns, lots of areas where you can, at any moment end up in the toasty warm lava, as well as obstacles. But as always, with practice this track will seem easier, and easier. ______________________________________________________________________________ Rainbow Road ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ I was expecting a Rainbow Road track, and tahnkfully I got what I wanted. Complete with transperent track, and victory-ish music, Rainbow Road is the final race, in the final cup in the GBA exclusive races. The track is reasonably easy, providing you don't choke too much going around some of the tighter corners. Rainbow Road also leaves you open to quite a few, large shortcuts if you use your head (or this FAQ :P). Enjoy your last GBA race... and make the best of it. ______________________________________________________________________________ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ (11) EXTRA TRACKS ______________________________________________________________________________ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ______________________________________________________________________________ MUSHROOM CUP ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ______________________________________________________________________________ Mario Circuit 1 ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ This track is so easy it hurts...but I suppose, it's just the "intro track" to the snes tracks, so that can be justified I guess :P Apart from a sever lack of anything past very basic turns, and no obstackles to get in your way, and the fact that the track itself is rather wide, this very short track is extremely easy and shouldn't be any trouble for you at all. ______________________________________________________________________________ Donut Plains 1 ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Good, fun riverside racing. There are some nice turns on this track. You will notice that the track itself is actually dirt, which will take away a good chunk of your grip. You'll need to know how to take big, slippery turns if you want to be sucessful on Donut Plains 1. It's a pity that the only bridge in the level has wall on it's sides, so you can't fall into the water, but this is still an early track in the scheme of things. ______________________________________________________________________________ Ghost Valley 1 ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Another faily straigh forward track, that is pretty easy. All turns are 90 degrees, and have walls to stop you falling off the edge of the wooden pier you are on, and into the cold water below. There is a tiny jump over a gap in the track at one point, but with a jump before it, you should have no trouble. Easy stuff. ______________________________________________________________________________ Bowser Castle 1 ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Again, this is an easy, easy track. All turns are 90 degrees, and the entire track has walls that stop you from going off course and falling into the toasty warm :P lava. Of course there is the risk of falling into the lava if you manage to jump over on of the jumps before a gap in the track (with lava below). But in all honsety, that isn't very likely to happen. ______________________________________________________________________________ FLOWER CUP ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ______________________________________________________________________________ Mario Circuit 2 ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Mario Circuit 2 is thankfully a bit more difficult than the first Mario Circuit. There are some snaking twists and turns in the track, and a crossed over section of track that you'll get to jump over. If you can stick to the track through the turns, and not end up on the sand too much then you'll be fine. ______________________________________________________________________________ Choco Island 1 ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ I'm not too fond of the Choco Island tracks..though the first Choco Island track isn't tooooooo bad. The track is made up slippery dirt (well, chocolate actually), and if you happen to skid off the road you'll be greeted by some very slow, boggy dark chocolate. This track isn't all that hard, but it can be easy to stuff up and skid off the track if you're not careful. ______________________________________________________________________________ Ghost Valley 2 ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ This is the second ghost valley track, and is still reasonably easy. Most of the corners have walls, and the few that don't aren't likely to cause you too much frustration. There are one or two holes that come in from the side of the track which you'll have to aviod falling into, but besides that, this track is pretty simple. ______________________________________________________________________________ Donut Plains 2 ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ As expected, Donut Plains 2 progresses in difficulty over the first Donut Plains track. Sticking to the slippery track can be a pain at times, if you're not careful, because you'll have to take each turn with skill. I wouldn't say this track is quite hard, but it's certainly not a cinch. ______________________________________________________________________________ LIGHTNING CUP ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ______________________________________________________________________________ Bowser Castle 2 ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ This isn't exactly easy, or hard. There are a quite a few small jumps over lava, and some tight turns, but winning on this track isn't difficult. As long as you can navigate the turns (with the assistance of powerslide turns) you'll have everything under control. ______________________________________________________________________________ Mario Circuit 3 ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ I'd have to say this track is of about average difficulty. There are heaps of twists, turns and bends in Mario Circuit 3, and straights are a rarity. As long as you have your powersliding down pat, then you should be fine. As is the case with all of the Mario Circuits, there is sand on the outside of the track, so if you come off the road, expect to pay the consequences. ______________________________________________________________________________ Koopa Beach 1 ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ This course is made up mostly of a series of relatively thin islands, and one wide island with water lillys dividing the path into two. With shallow waters inbetween the gaps in islands, and deep water if you stray a little off course to the left or right. The cours eitself is both short, and easy. I doubt you'll run into any problems on Koopa Beach 1. ______________________________________________________________________________ Choco Island 2 ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ This track will give a lot of peolpe some degree of trouble. With choco island 2 returns the slippery track, and the dark chocolate that lies around the outside of the track, which will slow you done a hell of a lot of you slip out onto it. The thing that makes Choco Island 2 as difficult as it is, is the slippery track, and the stuff around the outside which will slow you right down if you drive on it. There is one area in the track with a tight turn that leads into a very thin area of the track. It is VERY easy to slid off the road here, and as a result slow down a lot. With a bit of practice Chocho Island 2 will seem a lot easier, but will still be a pain in the arse. ______________________________________________________________________________ STAR CUP ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ______________________________________________________________________________ Vanilla Lake 1 ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Despite the fact that you're racing on ice, Vanilla Lake 1 is fairly simple. Vanilla Lake 1 is a faily short, and basic track. It's pretty much a circular square.... *cough* Yes the track is slippery because it's ice, and yes, if you run into the snow on the outside of the track (and in some cases on small parts of the track) you will slow down, but staying on the track actually isn't all that hard. There are little square blocks of ice in patches on the track as well, and if you run into the they stop you, but break, so next time they won't be there. Of course you _can_ navigate through them without touching a single one. Vanilla Lake 1 is a nice, easy into to the Star Cup. ______________________________________________________________________________ Bowser Castle 3 ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ You shouldn't have too much difficulty with Bowser Caslte 3 once you know where all of the 'difficult at first' turns are, and how to navigate them. There are plenty of 90 degree turns, and lots of lava jumping, but overall the track shouldn't prove to be anything more than average in difficulty. ______________________________________________________________________________ Mario Circuit 4 ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ This is more like it. Not too hard, but a very good challenge. There are loads of big, but sharp turns, as well as some thin spots in the track. You'll probably have to run through Mario Circuit a few times before you know how to navigate all of the turns flawlessly, and avoid coming off into the sand. This is my kind of track, difficulty wise at least. ______________________________________________________________________________ Donut Plains 3 ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ What's the deal with the mileading name anyway? There aren't any donuts in sight.... unless you count the spin turns. There are a nice lot of big turns to be had on the slippery dirt track, some of which lead out onto bridges which have no walls to stop you falling into the water (yay!). The two turn that lead out onto the bridges are the hardest on the track, as it's very easy to end up in the drink. As always, with practice, the difficulty of this track will be considerably reduced, but that won't stop you from screwing up occasionaly ;) ______________________________________________________________________________ SPECIAL CUP ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ______________________________________________________________________________ Koopa Beach 2 ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Once you know your way around Koopa Bach 2, you'll find it to be pretty straight forward. For the most part, you race around an island, with water out to your right, and water lillys to your left. At one stage you race out across an area of shallow water, with pools of deep water dotting the area. If you know what you're doing, avioding these deep areas of water will be easy however. ______________________________________________________________________________ Ghost Valley 3 ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ This is my worst track in the entire game. I seem to have a *lot* of trouble with it. There are lots of turns in the track, most of which don't have rails to stop you from sliding off the edge of the peir you race on. As well as the tricky turns, there are loads of big holes in the track, which are ALWAYS right in your path. Hell, there are even jumps that lead straight into them. This, at least for me is _the_ track that makes Special Cup (150cc) so hard. Even with loads of practice, I still have a hard time with this. And don't even get me started on being bumped off the track, or into a hole by another racer. ______________________________________________________________________________ Vanilla Lake 2 ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Vanilla Lake 2 is certianly more difficult than the first, but is by no means hard. You still race on slippery ice, there is still thick snow on the outside of the tracks, there are still the blocks of ice clustered together around the track, but one thing you'll notcie more is that you race around a giant icy cold lake, which has many star shaped corners, which you can risk jumping over for extra time, but if you fall in you'll have a cold time. Overall Vanilla Lake 2 isn't terribly difficult. ______________________________________________________________________________ Rainbow Road ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ The final track in the game. Rainbow road can be intimidating at first, as the entire track has no safety rails on the outside of it, so one false move and you're floating out in space. But it really isn't all that hard. All turns are 90 degrees, and reasonably wide. There is one split in the track which has a hole in the middle of it, but other than that it's smooth sailing (or should that be karting) all the way.

Method: From the start of the race, drive forward, and when you're coming to the end of the second island, turn left (just after the two coconut trees), and jump out onto the small, round island in the water here, then jump off at the end of it, and head forward. This shortcut works best if you use a mushroom, and avoid driving in the water as much as possible (use a mushroom just as you go out to the island, jump before you hit the water, then jump again as you come to the end of the small island. ______________________________________________________________________________ Riverside Park ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ There are two shortcuts in Riverside Park. The first (providing you don't screw up) will save you a few seconds more than the second. Shortcut #1 Method: From the start of the race, head around the first corner. Keep heading forward until you come to the start of the second turn (it turns off to the left). Now look forward (towards the water), you should be able to see a narrow wooden bridge pointing out into the water. With a closer examination you'll see that there are 7 brown tiles floating out in the water, and over the other side is another part of a bridge. Line yourself up with the bridge, and use a mushroom as you are on the bridge. Hit jump and hopefully you'll jump the tiles and land on the bridge on the other side. Don't worry if you don't quite land on the bridge over the other side, because you can still drive onto it and have still saved some time. Shortcut #2 Method: After going over the jump which takes you over water, drive forward, as you come to the start of the turn (that goes right) head forward, and to the right just a little. Facing the water you should be able to see a line of shallow water which will allow you to drive over it, and skip the next turn. This will save you a few seconds, and is VERY easy to do. ______________________________________________________________________________ Bowser Castle 1 ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ There are no real shorcuts on Bowser Castle 1, this I am sure of. However, you can save the tiniest amount of time, by jumping over the jumps that go over the lava, (so you don't actually touch the jump) as touching and jump will slow you down a tiny bit. *says touch and jump one more time* ______________________________________________________________________________ FLOWER CUP ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ______________________________________________________________________________ Mario Circuit ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Only one shortcut on Mario Circuit, and it isn't a very big one at that. Method: Just as you are approaching the final straight in the track you'll see a very thin bit of track spiltting off to your right. If you follow it you'll see a boost pad, which will give you a nice little speed boost. Providing you manage to stick to the very hin track, this shortcut can save you a few 100ths of a second :P ______________________________________________________________________________ Boo Lake ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ There are two shortcuts on Boo Lake, both are fairly minor however. Shortcut #1 Method: When you come to the area in the track where there is a large, square hole in the track, and the track splits in two are goes around either side of it, you can save a very small amount of time by using a mushroom as you approach the hole, hitting the jump at the start of the hole and turning left a little as you go over the jump, as you will land on the left turn, thus skipping the tiniest amount of track. Shortcut #2 Method: As you come to the end of the straight section of track with the four boos (holding candles), instead of heading right around the hole in the track, head left, and go across the thin wooden bridge. This will save you taking the turn here. ______________________________________________________________________________ Cheese Land ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ There are two shortcuts in cheese land, and both follow the same idea. Shortcut #1 Method: As you come to the first jump in the track (where you jump over a section of the track) use a mushroom just before you hit the turbo pads and jump and turn right as you are in the air. This will allow you to skip part of the turn here. Shortcut #2 Method: As you come to the second jump across track, again use a mushroom just before you hit the boost strip and jump, and as you are in the air, turn sharply to the left. This will allow you to skip almost all, if not all of the turn here. ______________________________________________________________________________ Bowser Castle 2 ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ There isn't a single shortcut I can find on BOwser Castle 2.

Method: Make your way through the track, and as you are driving up the long straight before the second last turn (see your map if you need too ;) you will find that there is a small gap in the wall straight ahead of you (before you go right to take the turn). Just drive through carefully and you'll have skipped on small turn. ______________________________________________________________________________ Sky Garden ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Damn! Three BIG time saving shortcuts in the one track. Shortcut #1 Method: After jumping the gap in the track (towards the start of the track), instead of taking the turn to your right, head straight ahead, use a mushroom right as you hit the edge of the cloud, jump and turn left a little. You will be able to jump over and land on the next section of track, skipping a fairly large turn. Shortcut #2 Method: At one of the turns in the track, there is a little jump on the inside parts of the turn. As you approach it, use a mushroom, aim directly ahead and as you go over the jump turn slightly to your left, and you should land on the track ahead of you. This will save nice a chunk of time. Shortcut #3 Method: As you come to the final turn of the track, on the inside of the turn (to your left) you will see a cloud floating, which is bridging the gap between the turn. Jump onces to land on the cloud, and again to land back on the other side of the track. ______________________________________________________________________________ Cheep-Cheep Island ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Just the one shotcut on Cheep-Cheep Island, and it can be pretty difficult to pull off as well. Method: Cross the first two bridges, and on the thrid island to your left, out across the water is a tiny gap in the wall. You'll have to boost out towards the wall first time so you know exactly where the gap in the wall is. Anyway, getting back to where we were... On the third island, once you know where the gap is, aim for it, use a mushroom to boost out, and jump as you boost. Hopefully you'll be able to both skim across the water, AND find the gap in the wall. Once through the gap, follow the thin area of sand to your left, on the outside of this green island until you come to the area where the rainbow wall end. Here, boost out past the end of the wall, onto the water, and skim across and turn to your right, and back onto land. ______________________________________________________________________________ Sunset Wilds ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ One shortcut is found in Sunset Wilds, and it will allow you to skip a corner. Method: When you come to the end of the area with the Shy Guy teepees, and boost pads, look to your right and you will see a jump that will allow you to fly over the rainbow wall, thus bypassing the turn. ______________________________________________________________________________ STAR CUP ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ______________________________________________________________________________ Snow Land ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Two shortcuts this time, the second is much more of a "real" shortcut than the first. Shortcut #1 Method: You will come to a right turn, at which point, to your left you'll see two frozen, dark blue puddles. Drive inbetween them, and you will be able to drive along a straight of ice (which won't slow you down at all). This will save you a tiny bit of time. Shortcut #2 Method: After the first three turns (rght, left right) you'll be at about the top of the on screen map. Instead of turning right and going around the corner, go straight ahead. Here, you'll se a gap in the rainbow wall. Go through the gap, along the dark blue track, and turn right when you have to. You'll see a line of about 5 or so boost pads, right infront of each other. You know what to do. ______________________________________________________________________________ Ribbon Road ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ One shortcut, but a real killer. Method: When you come to the first jump across track area, as you hit the boost pad, and the jump, turn right and land on the track here. This shortcut will save you a ****ing arseload of time, and is damn easy to pull off. ______________________________________________________________________________ Yoshi Desert ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ One, One, One, One, ONE! Yes... just one shortcut, again! Method: Near the end of the track there is an oasis, which Is presumably a mirage, but your car seems to think it's real. If you turn left, you'll see the edge of the oasis touching the rainbow wall. At this area the amount of water you have to jump over is smallest, and so when here, use a mushroom to boost and jump over the water next to the wall. And one last thing, watch out for the whirlpool of quicksand near the oasis. ______________________________________________________________________________ Bowser Castle 3 ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ You know, I'm beginning to notice a trend with these Bowser Castle tracks...

Finally, a track with two shortcuts... well, one and a bit anyway. Shortcut #1 Method: From the start of the level, head around the first corner (right), and the next wind in the road. Cross the bridge and then look to your right. You'll see water, and across it more track. Use a mushroom boost and jump out across the water for the track across the other side. If timed correctly this shortcut is reasonably easy to do. Shortcut #2 Method: When you come to the jump across the track, as you hit the boost pad, and jump, turn left, and you'll save yourself part of the turn, and thus a few milliseconds. ______________________________________________________________________________ Broken Pier ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Not really any shortcuts as such.. but there is this... Method: Towards the end of the track is a hole in the track. To the right is the "normal" path, and to the left of the hole (pretty much straight ahead) is a thin wooden bridge. If you take the wooden bridge you'll save an ittby bitty bit of time. ______________________________________________________________________________ Bowser Castle 4 ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ .......What?.... you couldn't have been expecting a shortcut on a Bowser Castle could you? ______________________________________________________________________________ Rainbow Road ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Ack!

All of the shortcuts have a very simple idea: use the jump pads that line most of the track to jump out across onto another section of track which will end up saving you quite a bit of time. Of course, use your head, and you'll realise that there are more, but much smaller shortcuts on the small twists and turns in the track using the same method. ______________________________________________________________________________ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Extra Tracks ______________________________________________________________________________ ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ______________________________________________________________________________ MUSHROOM CUP ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ______________________________________________________________________________ Mario Circuit 1 ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ This isn't really a shortcut, but it will lead you to a hidden item box.

Method: Just after the jump in the track (the one where you can fall down the track) you will normally go around to the right, but there is a gap in the track, which has a bridge over it. You can jump just as you come to the gap, and land on the bridge, or use a mushroom at the jump in the track, line up with the bridge, and you should do an extra high jump, and be able to land on the bridge. ______________________________________________________________________________ Bowser Castle 1 ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ We haven't found any shortcuts on this track, and highly doubt that we will. ______________________________________________________________________________ FLOWER CUP ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ______________________________________________________________________________ Mario Circuit 2 ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ We haven't found any shortcuts here either.... though you can save some time cutting across the sand with a mushroom, if you use your head. ______________________________________________________________________________ Choco Island 1 ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ No real shorcuts here either.

This tip also works for other things, like the crabs you'll find on beaches etc. As soon as you hit a banana (or other object that will spin you out) tap the B button, and a musical not should apear above your characters head. If you see the note, you know you're safe, and have avopided spinning out. ______________________________________________________________________________ Boost Start ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Like to get off to a great start? Well, here's how. At the start of the race, lakitu has a set of lights, that turn on as a "beep" noise is made. There are three lights, and on the third light the race starts. To get a turbo start, hit the accelerater exactly halfway inbetween the 2nd and 3rd light lighting up: *Beep*......*Beep*...A...*Beep* If you did it right, you'll certainly know about it. ______________________________________________________________________________ Boost Recovery ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ If you fall into water, off a track that is raised up above the ground, into lava etc, Lakitu will float down on his cloud and pull you back up onto the track. To get a speed boost, and get on the road to recovery a lot faster, wait till Lakitu is putting you back on the track, and just as the wheels of your kart touch the track, hit A.
