|M U S H R O O M C U P |
--------------------------
LUIGI CIRCUIT
-------------
1: Use the road behind Chain Chomp. This cannot be done in 50cc Mode.
2: Same as 1, only this one is near the end, behind some pipes. Again, it can only be doen in 100cc and 150cc Modes.
PEACH BEACH
-----------
1: More of a "Long-Cut" but it can help. After the first straight, the track bends to the right. Turn LEFT here, and enter the pipe. You will come out of a higher pipe, and get a Double Item Box. This usually contains stronger Items than normal. Beware though - this does take longer then normal, so avoid it in Time Trial Mode.
BABY PARK
---------
There are no known shortcuts in this Level.
DRY DRY DESERT
--------------
1: With a Star enabled, go through the Piranha Plant's pit. This saves you from having to go right round. Time it so th Star doesn't wear off while you're in the pit, or you'll be caught by the Piranha Plant.

|F L O W E R C U P|
---------------------
MUSHROOM BRIDGE
---------------
1: After the first tunnel, there's an area of land on thr right which can act as a Shortcut. Light and maybe Middle Weight Karts can use a Mushroom or a Star, but Heavy racers should only attempt it with a Star.
MARIO CIRCUIT
-------------
There are no known shortcuts in this Level.
DAISY CRUISER
-------------
1: Quite deceptive, this one. After the room witht he moving tables, keep going until you see a hole on the right. Fall in, and accelerate toward the fan, going through the Double Item Box. Go through the fan tunnel to be shot out onto the main deck, slightly earlier than normal.
WALUIGI STADIUM
---------------
There are no known shortcuts in this Level.
_________________
|S T A R C U P|
-----------------
SHERBERT LAND
-------------
1: On the giant ice field near the end, there's a bit jutting out on the left side halfway through. Use a Mushroom/Star to get up it, and continue after taking this minor shortcut.
MUSHROOM CITY
-------------
1: After the first bend, ignore the right turn. There's a narrow path between the buildings on the right (before the next bend), which will take you diagonally across, saving you a second or two.
YOSHI CIRCUIT
-------------
1: After the first left bend, use a Mushroom (or maybe a Star - untested) to launch yourself over the water, instead of goind round the bend.
2: After the tunnel, watch the fence on the left. When it ends, drive onto the grass, and use a Star/Mushroom to blast into the hidden tunnel. It comes out at the hairpin turn after the windy section, but it's not as much of a shortcut as the first one. take the first one in Timne Trial Mode.
DK MOUNTAIN
-----------
Just before the section where the road is cracked, drive off to the right. If done correctly, you should land on the hairpin turn just before the straight leading to the bridge and the end of the track.
_______________________
|S P E C I A L C U P|
-----------------------
WARIO COLOSSEUM
---------------
1: Not really a shortcut, but at the bowl-shaped section, use the boost ramp to get over more quickly, but slow down for the next turn.
DINO DINO JUNGLE
----------------
1: After the wooden walkways, go through the tunnel. Turn right, and use a Mushroom to launch yourself off the wooden ramp to the round platform.
BOWSER'S CASTLE
---------------
1: In the area with the Bowser statue that spits firballs, go straight ahead instead of turning right. You'll go flying over the gap. Don't use a Mushroom, or you may end up going into the lava around the Statue.
RAINBOW ROAD
------------
There are no known shortcuts in this Level.

6) ITEMS
*How to get items*
To find items on the courses, look for the colourful floating boxes with a question mark in the middle. Run through it and you should get an item. If you want to get two items, then there are such things as double item boxes, which give both the driver and the thrower an item. Below are lists of all the items that are not specials for anyone.
*Green Shell*
This is one of the most common items in the game. They go in straight lines, and bounce off walls and other hard objects. If it hits a kart, the kart will spin out. Green Shells can also by laying on the ground. Do not try to pick them up, because if you run over it, you will spin out. Green Shells can be thrown from the front or back, and can be used to destroy other items or obstacles in the course.
*Red Shell*
This shell is not as common as the green ones, but is common if you are in 3rd or 4th place. The automatically aim at the person in front of you, but if they hit a wall or other object, then they are automatically destroyed. Red Shells can be thrown from the front or back, and can be used to destroy
Other items or obstacles in the course.
*Spiny Shell*
Spiny shells are one of the rarest items in the game. You will almost never get them unless you are in 7th or 8th place. When you do get one, let it free and it will automatically hit the person in 1st place. Not only does it attack the person in first place, but also it makes a huge explosion that will cause anyone around it to spin out.
I have dodged this item before! How you ask well that is my secret ļ. Ok, ok I will tell you well I was on rainbow road and going round the sharp corners so I drifted it was still following me so I drifted again and went round the next corner (still drifting) and went over the boaster and it exploded behind me. I have also dodged it another time when I was on DK mounting going though the cannon.
*Mushroom*
Mushrooms are very common items in this game. If you get a mushroom, wait until you are on a straight a way and then use it. The mushroom speeds you up for about 3-5 seconds. When it speeds you up, it also lowers the control you have on your kart. That is why you should wait until you are on a
Straight road or path.
*Star*
Stars are not as common as the mushroom, but they are easy to get a hold of if you are in 4th-8th place. The star causes the driver, thrower, and kart to turn gold and any obstacle (except walls) that you run into will not harm you. Your speed is also brought up, but not as much as what a mushroom would do.
*Banana*
Bananas are one of the most common items in this game. When you get it, drop it on the ground. If an enemy runs over it, they will go spinning but they will keep their speed. Bananas can also be thrown orward by pushing up on your control stick.
*Fake Item*
Fake items are another common item in this game. Fake items look exactly like a regular item box, except that the question mark inside is upside down. To use it, drop it on the ground where it looks like an item box should be. When a kart goes by, they will spin out of control and they will lose their speed.
*Triple Mushroom*
Triple Mushrooms are the exact same thing as a regular mushroom, except for the fact that you receive three of them. You can use all three at once, or you can spread them out. However, be warned, if the driver hits an obstacle, two out of the three mushrooms will be lost.
*Thunderbolt*
A thunderbolt is one of the rarest items in the game. You will usually never get it unless you are in 7th or 8th place. The thunderbolt, when used, causes every kart except for you to spin out, lose its speed, lose its items, and makes the karts, drivers and throwers all very tiny. However, there are some ways that a thunderbolt will not affect an opponent. These include if the opponent is frozen, if the opponent is being shot out of the barrel at DK Mountain, if the opponent just got hit by a certain item ect...
as i said in the into i will have the courses tomorow ok seya then!
i hope this information about the items and karts and stuff helps OK bye

6) ITEMS
*How to get items*
To find items on the courses, look for the colourful floating boxes with a question mark in the middle. Run through it and you should get an item. If you want to get two items, then there are such things as double item boxes, which give both the driver and the thrower an item. Below are lists of all the items that are not specials for anyone.
*Green Shell*
This is one of the most common items in the game. They go in straight lines, and bounce off walls and other hard objects. If it hits a kart, the kart will spin out. Green Shells can also by laying on the ground. Do not try to pick them up, because if you run over it, you will spin out. Green Shells can be thrown from the front or back, and can be used to destroy other items or obstacles in the course.
*Red Shell*
This shell is not as common as the green ones, but is common if you are in 3rd or 4th place. The automatically aim at the person in front of you, but if they hit a wall or other object, then they are automatically destroyed. Red Shells can be thrown from the front or back, and can be used to destroy
Other items or obstacles in the course.
*Spiny Shell*
Spiny shells are one of the rarest items in the game. You will almost never get them unless you are in 7th or 8th place. When you do get one, let it free and it will automatically hit the person in 1st place. Not only does it attack the person in first place, but also it makes a huge explosion that will cause anyone around it to spin out.
I have dodged this item before! How you ask well that is my secret ļ. Ok, ok I will tell you well I was on rainbow road and going round the sharp corners so I drifted it was still following me so I drifted again and went round the next corner (still drifting) and went over the boaster and it exploded behind me. I have also dodged it another time when I was on DK mounting going though the cannon.
*Mushroom*
Mushrooms are very common items in this game. If you get a mushroom, wait until you are on a straight a way and then use it. The mushroom speeds you up for about 3-5 seconds. When it speeds you up, it also lowers the control you have on your kart. That is why you should wait until you are on a
Straight road or path.
*Star*
Stars are not as common as the mushroom, but they are easy to get a hold of if you are in 4th-8th place. The star causes the driver, thrower, and kart to turn gold and any obstacle (except walls) that you run into will not harm you. Your speed is also brought up, but not as much as what a mushroom would do.
*Banana*
Bananas are one of the most common items in this game. When you get it, drop it on the ground. If an enemy runs over it, they will go spinning but they will keep their speed. Bananas can also be thrown orward by pushing up on your control stick.
*Fake Item*
Fake items are another common item in this game. Fake items look exactly like a regular item box, except that the question mark inside is upside down. To use it, drop it on the ground where it looks like an item box should be. When a kart goes by, they will spin out of control and they will lose their speed.
*Triple Mushroom*
Triple Mushrooms are the exact same thing as a regular mushroom, except for the fact that you receive three of them. You can use all three at once, or you can spread them out. However, be warned, if the driver hits an obstacle, two out of the three mushrooms will be lost.
*Thunderbolt*
A thunderbolt is one of the rarest items in the game. You will usually never get it unless you are in 7th or 8th place. The thunderbolt, when used, causes every kart except for you to spin out, lose its speed, lose its items, and makes the karts, drivers and throwers all very tiny. However, there are some ways that a thunderbolt will not affect an opponent. These include if the opponent is frozen, if the opponent is being shot out of the barrel at DK Mountain, if the opponent just got hit by a certain item ect...
as i said in the into i will have the courses tomorow ok seya then!
i hope this information about the items and karts and stuff helps OK bye
