Note: It does not matter who you have driving; speeds remain the same no matter what character you choose to drive which kart.
Hint:
Acceleration kart attribute:
The more stars, the faster you will reach your top speed. Weight
of course will alter how fast you accelerate. It is fractional, but a kart
with *** speed and **** weight will accelerate slightly slower than a ***
speed and *** weight kart. Acceleration also dictates control and stability.
Basically, the higher the acceleration and the heavier the kart and/or the
higher the speed, the harder the kart is to control and the more you will
get to power-slide to be able to complete those turns and not lose speed.
Hint:
Weight kart attribute:
Weight will determine who can bash out who. Heavier karts will
bash around lighter karts obviously and also determine who the bullies of
the game are. Weight affects the other attributes described above. The
higher the weight and speed, the more you will want to powerslide to
maintain top speed.
Hint:
Unlocking new Karts in Grand Prix:
Win a Grand Prix in first place to unlock a new Kart. There is a
bonus Kart in each cc class and Grand Prix that you can win (nine total).
Hint: Recommended number of persons in the arena:
Cookie Land: 2 or 3
Nintendo Gamecube: 2 (or more if you want to have a very fast battle)
Block City: 2 to 4 or more
Pipe Plaza: 2 to 4 or more
Luigi's Mansion: 3 to 4 or more
Tilt-a-Kart: 2 to 4 or more
Hint:
Bowser's Castle: Shortcuts:
When you reach the part of Bowser's Castle where Bowser is
sending fireballs at the racers, continue going straight instead of turning
right. You will fall off the ledge and onto the road behind it, gaining
plenty of time.
At the end of the course, when it bends around in a curly "V" shape, there is a location with no wall. Normally you would avoid the spot, but if you go through the absence of wall you can cut off a difficult turn. Note: Do not use a mushroom.
When entering the area where the the giant Bowser statue hurls fireballs in your direction, look straight ahead. You should see an open area through which the Bowser statue shoots a fireball from time to time. Avoid all oncoming fireballs and stationary obstacles and race for that opening. If you are moving fast enough, you should make the crossover.
Hint:
Daisy Cruiser: Shortcut:
Drop down into the cargo area and get a double item box and an
exhaust pipe that will give you a speed boost.
When you are at the point with the life rings on the ropes, hit one and immediately place a fake box or banana. Other players will not see them.
When you get to the part near the pool area, instead of taking a left, slow down, go backwards slightly, and you should see a thin path on the right side of the pool. This is a little slower to get to, but its better than getting hit by an item or losing your lead by other people going faster than you.
Hint:
DK Mountain: Shortcut:
After you are shot up the hill, on the second turn on the grassy
area of the mountain, power slide to the left. Then, let go and power slide
again to the right. The back of your kart should hit the mountainside. Go
forward to jump the abyss. Note: If you have a big kart and you fall, this
will not work.
Hint:
DK Mountain: Shortcut:
When you go around the corner after avoiding the falling rock
(turning to your left), you should see a fence preventing you from falling
off. Go to the end of this fence then hold L + R and press A.
Turn to your right 90 degrees and drive off the cliff edge. You should land
back on the track, just before the boxes before the bridge.
Hint:
Dino Land: Shortcuts:
If you have a mushroom and are in the cave with the geysers, turn
right, boost, and you will be able to make the jump.
On the part just before the two bridges, turn right. There is a narrow path with a boost that takes you to the end of the bridge. Note: This is very risky and heavier karts have better odds of making it.
Hint:
Dry Dry Desert: Shortcut:
At the end of the course, there will be a billboard with an arrow
that you cannot see. Its shadow makes an arrow pointing to a two second
lead. Note: It will not slow you down.
Hint:
Dry Dry Ruins: Shortcut:
When near the pit with the Sand-Pirahna, remember the following:
he will not eat you if you have a star; and you can power slide in the pit
and perform a mini-turbo to dash out the other side..
Hint:
Luigi's Mansion: Bob-omb Blast mode:
When playing in Bob-omb Blast mode, if you are in top, throw
bombs on the middle floor. If you are in the middle floor, throw bombs in
hallways. If you are in the basement, defend your turf with ground-zero
explosions.
Hint:
Luigi's Mansion: Shine Theft mode:
When playing Luigi's Mansion in Shine Theft mode, when they go up
or down to find you, change floors.
Hint:
Luigi's Mansion: Balloon Battle mode:
When playing Luigi's Mansion in Balloon Battle mode, outrun
everyone and if you get homing weapons, fire them from the third floor.
Hint:
Luigi's Circuit: 50cc course change:
When you're racing in the Luigi Circuit, the shortcut will be
covered with grass. In the same track, the shortcut behind the Chain Chomp
will be buried underneath a slope.
Hint:
Mario Circuit: Mushroom:
On the Mario Circuit course in the Flower Cup, when you approach
the Goombas, use a red or green shell, star, or some other special item. Use
it to hit a Goomba and a mushroom should appear.
Hint:
Mushroom Bridge: Shortcuts:
Drive on the bridge to get a massive speed boost; just do not
fall off.
If you have a mushroom, you can go up the dirt hill and shave a lot of time off your score.
Once you start the race, turn right as soon as you get off the bridge (left in mirror mode). You should see an open path. Drive down that path and you will soon reach a large green pipe. When you enter it, it should instantly warp you back onto the track from the top of the pipe into a 2-Item box.
On the Mushroom Bridge/City stages, there are cars that have a mushroom print on them (red with white dots). Hit them and you will not spin out. However, a mushroom will pop out of the car. Run over the mushroom to get a boost like you would when using an item mushroom.
Hint:
Mushroom Bridge: Boost:
When you locate a mushroom car, bump into it. If you do, it will
throw out a mushroom on the ground to give you a boost.
Hint:
Mushroom City: Shortcut:
When at the first junction pair, choose the one that goes
straight forwards and stay to the right . You should see a small pink path
cutting through the block and shave off many seconds. Also, when you come to
the bridge area, stay to the right again to see a small ledge with no
Bombcars on it. It is much safer.
When you get to the part near the finish line, instead of taking a left into the traffic where all the cars are located, go to the right onto a thin road covered in dirt. This should make you go slightly slower, but it is faster than being hit by the cars on the other side.
When racing on the Mushroom City course in the Star Cup and you reach the first fork in the track, take a right. You will have to make another turn, but will have a long straightaway to gain speed. Keep going straight, until you have to take another turn. Once you get on the straightaway, do not take any forks; just go straight.
At the first intersection, go straight. On the right side is a pink strip. Go through it and you will be at the second intersection, shaving seconds off your time.
Hint:
Mushroom City: Boost:
When you locate a mushroom car, bump into it. If you do, it will
throw out a mushroom on the ground to give you a boost.
Hint:
Mushroom Bridge or Mushroom City: Hidden mushroom:
You may notice there is a car that is shaped like a mushroom (not
the bus, but it is small). If you bump into it, notice that you will not
start spinning as happens when you hit other cars. Instead, a mushroom flies
out of it. You can run over it and speed up.
Hint:
Peach Beach: Shortcuts:
As soon as you go onto the beach, go left and up the ramp to cut
a few seconds off your time.
At the beginning of the race, try to get a speed boost. Then, about five seconds into the race, a green pipe will appear on the left side of the track (just off the first corner; it has a small road leading into it). Go in, and you will jump straight back out with a double item box. Note: On 150 cc/mirror mode, you will end up in sixth, but will have two good weapons.
Hint:
Peach Beach: Items:
When you start, keep going straight until you see a gray road to
the left (to the right in mirror mode), that leads to a green tube. Go into
it and you will be shot out and always hit a double item box. It depends on
which cc class you are on for which place you will have when exit. In the
50cc class, it will be first to fifth; 100cc class, second to seventh; and
150cc, sixth to eighth. You will always get very helpful items from this
trick. In the 150cc class, you will get a star, three mushrooms, first-place
seeker (blue-winged shell), that character's special, and a red shell.
After you go through all the items, you will see a fountain. Instead of going straight, turn left and there will be two items boxes. Note: You will lose time.
Hint:
Rainbow Road: Star power-up:
Sometimes a shooting star appears every once in a while. When it
hits the road, a star will be on the ground for you to pick up.
Hint:
Wario Coliseum: Shortcut:
When you are entering the circular room with the huge pit in the
middle, go straight instead of around and hit the boost ramp to jump the
pit. This will shave some distance and time.
Hint:
Yoshi Circuit: Shortcuts:
Go all the way through the track until you reach the tunnel.
After going through the tunnel, drive off the edge of the cliff into the
side of the mountain. You must have a star or mushroom to get this shortcut.
Before you reach the first tunnel, instead of going around to the left go straight ahead with a boost to shave a few seconds off your time. There is a jump on the grass.
As you drive out of the mouth tunnel, you will see Nintendo signs. Veer off the road if you have a mushroom. Use the mushroom as soon as you hit the edge. You have to do it perfectly or you will land in the ocean. It will take you down Yoshi's neck, give you a chance for an item box, and best of all put you in a position where you do not have to curve around.
After the second turn, go straight up the slope in the grass instead of turning left. Note: You need a mushroom or star to get past. Use the mushroom just when you go on the grass.
Note: This trick requires a star. After the tunnel, use the star to gain speed and jump into the hole in the side of the mountain.
After the finish line, there will be a sharp turn. Get a mushroom and you will go flying over a pond.
There are two shortcuts, one after the other. The first is easy to find. It is near the beginning. You just have to go over the second turn and boost when you are on the grass verge. The second is difficult to find. When you come out of the cave after the first jump, there will be a gap in the railing on the left (right in mirror mode). If you boost, you can make it to a secret road in the cliff.
Follow the track until you get to the tunnel. Go trough the tunnel. There will be an opening. Use a mushroom and go off the cliff. You will land in another tunnel and shave off about 15 seconds.
When you start, do not go through the tunnel. Instead, throw a mushroom and continue to go straight. You should jump straight over the hole.
After leaving the second tunnel, look for where the railing ends. Throw a mushroom and drive off the road through the hole in the railing, just before the railing begins again. There should be a road in the side of the cliff that you can drive into. It will take you to the first big curve.
Hint:
Track warnings:
The following tips are warnings and should be followed if you
want to win.
Peach Beach: Do not go on the side ramp that you go off of to "gain speed". It only slows you down.
Mushroom Bridge: Do not drive on to the bridge. It only slows you down.
Daisy Cruiser: Do not drive into the hole with the item box and huge pipe. It only slows you down.
Dino Dino Land: Do not take the shortcut by the bridges. You will Always fall off, unless you have the combination of Bowser, Donkey Kong, and Bowser or DK's Kart (which is the slowest you can get).
Hint:
Balloon battle mode: Stealing balloons:
In multi-player balloon battle mode, you can steal other players'
balloons with mushrooms.
Hint:
Quick start:
To get a boost, repeatedly tap A at the start of the
countdown.
At the start a race, hold A at the countdown, then press A repeatedly once it gets to one second. Keep pressing A repeatedly until the race starts. If done correctly, you should blast out in front of everybody else.
Hold A immediately after the "1" disappears in the countdown. This can take some practice, and it is easier for some than others.
When you see the first red light start up, repeatedly tap A and do not stop until after the "Start" sign flips. You should get a bountiful burst of nitro boost.
At the start of the race, wait until immediately after Lakitu puts his arm down the fourth time and press A. If done correctly, you will get a boost.
When playing Grand Prix with two players in the same car, have both players press A. You will go double the speed at the starting line when it says "Go".
Hint:
Quick restart:
When you fall down in a course, press A as soon as Lakitu
drops you. You will get a boost as you start up again.
You can get a speed boost after falling off by perfectly timing when you press A when Lakuta gets you.
Hint:
Mini-turbo:
When you are sliding, you will see yellow sparks. Move the Analog-stick
in the opposite direction from your turn, then let it fall back to center.
You will see orange sparks. Once you see them, move it opposite again. You
will see blue sparks. Once you see them, you can let go for a boost or keep
holding them until the curve ends. This is useful in long turns.
While doing a sharp turn (L) press back and forth on the Analog-stick to get a small boost.
Hint:
Mini boost:
Around long corners, get a blue powerslide multiple times. This
will speed you up. Getting a blue powerslide (or sledge) around practically
every corner will also do this. This can be tricky at first, but is quite
easy to master.
Hint:
Spin:
Note: This trick has no use in the actual game, but is fun. Hold L
+ R, then hold the Analog-stick in the direction that you wish
to spin and press A. Press both turn buttons before you start your
car.
Hint:
Dodging homing attacks:
If you are going around a turn and a red shell is after you,
power slide with the blue spark. When it is just about to hit you. Release
of L or R and you should boost out of the way. This also works
with Yoshi's and Birdo's eggs.
Hint:
Avoid spiked shells:
To avoid Spiked shells (the ones that go to the first place
person), when you are on a turn, skid. Immediately before it hits, do a mini
turbo. Note: This is very difficult to do, and it only works for sharp
turns.
Hint:
Golden Mushroom:
Play as any character with any kart. Have Toad or Toadette in the
back seat. Start a level under any cup. Note: This was done under the 150 cc
class. Once you get a item box and it is spinning around, rapidly tap Y
until you get your item. It should be a Golden Mushroom most of the time.
Hint:
Faster karts:
Each driver will go slightly faster if they are driving their own
kart. This works well if you are using the Waluigi and Luigi combination on
Waluigi's kart.
Hint:
Drive through grass faster:
When you have a star you can cut through the grass without
slowing down.
Hint:
Easy win:
If you have three controllers, set the game up for a three player
Grand Prix. Have the first and second player be the two kart duo and you
control the lone kart. Play the game and the odds should be on your side,
since one player is gone. When you finish, complete the other player. This
works well when trying to unlock new bonuses.
On tracks with jumps or narrow paths, ram into your enemies. They will fall off the edge, wasting their time. This works best with heavier karts.
In any course that includes a slope, if you make the necessary calculations to hit them just before they jump, they will fall down and give you some time.
To lose a CPU opponent as Waluigi or Wario, use a bomb.
Hint:
Star and mushroom shortcuts:
Whenever you get a star or a mushroom, you can cut through sand,
grass, and other places that usually slow you down. Some good places to do
this include Luigi's Circuit when you go near the Bow-Wow or Chain Chomp or
in Peach Beach near the water. Be careful not to fall into the deep part, In
Dry-Dry Desert at the beginning, instead of following the trail, you can cut
through the sand. This saves a lot of time and it might also get you in
first. Also, if you have a star and are in Dry-Dry Desert, you can cut
through the quick sand where the Sand Piranha is with a star and it will not
eat you.
Hint:
More frequent and easier special:
To get any character's special easier and more frequently, have
that character ride their own kart. Note: Some characters get their specials
slightly more frequently on carts other than their own.
Hint:
Better chance of getting good power-ups:
When approaching a power-up box, release the accelerator about
half a second before picking it up. Wait until the item slot has stopped
rotating and you know what your item is before you start pressing the
accelerator again. By doing this you may lose time and position, but if
timed correctly and performed at good spots where slowdown in minimal, this
trick is well worth it.
Hint:
Get two items with a single item box:
Have your kart hit a single item box then press Z to
switch characters. The item you received will go to the driver and you
cannot use it until you switch again. Next, drive into another single item
box to get another item. You will now have two items just like you would get
from a double item box.
When you are riding and miss the double item box, and only get a single, either punch the person with two or press Z and run over a single or double item box.
Hint:
Steal items:
Have a combination of Yoshi and someone else. Have the other
person drive and have Yoshi as the weapons player. Have the driver go up to
a person then have them press the buttons to make his tongue come out. This
will steal their item, if they have any, and can be useful for knocking
people off bridges on tracks such as Dino Land.
Whenever you have two players controlling one kart and the item player presses R or L, the rear character will perform a small lunge in the appropriate direction. This causes the kart to go slightly awry, but if you hit another kart, you will steal their item and send them flying.
A clever way to steal items or to just push your opponents off the track is to have a combination of Paratroopa or Koopa with some other character. When you get a shell, fire it then slam into the victim. Another way is to get a mushroom and boost into your enemy.
Hint:
Pass items:
Note: This can only be dine in two player mode. If you pick up a
double "?" box so that both the players get power-ups, and the
driver cannot switch with the passenger at the moment, the driver can
"pass" his item onto the passenger by pressing the X or Y.
This is useful if one person is good at driving and one at shooting, or if
it is too confusing to switch.
Hint:
No lightning damage:
If you are in the air, lighting bolts will not effect you.
Hint:
Recover from lightning:
If you are far ahead and struck by lightning, drive off a cliff.
You will be big again.
Hint:
Staying in the lead:
While you are in the lead and a player fires a red shell at you,
get an item box. If you get a fake item box, banana, or green shell, you can
use those to block the red shell. To throw a green shell back, hold the Analog-stick
Down and press Throw. For you alone, use Y button; for
two player co-op, press A or B.
Drop a false box or banana on a speed boost strip. It will cause your opponents to "trip." This trick works well with a speed boost strip on a ramp, such the many located on Rainbow Road, Wario's Coliseum, and and few of the other tracks. Your opponents will "trip" over the item and not have enough speed to make the jump.
Hint:
Specials:
the following is a list of each character's special items:
Mario/Luigi: Fireballs (self-explanatory)
Peach/Daisy: Heart (1-hit shield, receive item that damaged you)
Yoshi/Birdo: Egg (homing bomb, drops items)
Baby Mario/ Baby Luigi: Chain Chomp (giant Chain Chomp pulls you around, attacking enemies)
Koopa/Paratroopa: Triple Shells (self explanatory, red or green)
DK/Diddy Kong: Giant Banana (giant banana, explodes into three little bananas when hit)
Bowser/ Bowser Jr: Bowser Shell (giant shell)
Toad/Toadette: Super Mushroom (unlimited mushroom for short period of time)
Petey Piranha/ King Boo: Any Special (any special item, position most likely determines item)
Hint:
Recommended combinations:
Try using the following combinations.
Mario and Baby Bowser
Paratroopa and Wario
Luigi and Waluigi
Koopa and Bowser
Yoshi, Baby Mario and Luigi's kart are a good combination. Baby Mario's Chomp helps you when you are under fifth and Yoshi's Homing Egg helps when you are on second and down.
Unlock Toad and Toadette. They have the greatest special, the golden mushroom. Create a duo with Toad or Toadette and someone else. You will then have that special.
Use Toad and Paratroopa. Paratroopa's shells will make sure that other drivers do not pass you up while Toad makes boosts.
Use Paratroopa and Diddy kong in Paratroopa's kart. When down in fifth, you will get three homing shells. When in first you have Diddy's giant banana and Paratroopa's three green shells. This combo is best used when competing in all mirror mode and 150cc cups.
Use Baby Browser and Yoshi with Luigi's kart.
Use Baby Mario's "Goo Goo Buggy". This is the best kart because of its acceleration. Paratroopa's Parawing also works well.
Try using the following combinations.
Baby Luigi and Peach
Luigi and Baby Luigi
Baby Mario and Baby Luigi
Baby Luigi and Bowser Jr.
For an easier win and a well balanced race team, choose Baby Luigi and Toad (or Toadette). Then, choose the Baby Luigi Kart. Both characters will have well balanced special items. For example, Toad is good because he has the element of speed with his Super Mushroom. If you Press X or Y, he will charge up your speed and if you press X or Y rapidly, you will get a super speed boost. Baby Luigi is good because he has Chain Chomp as his special. Baby Luigi should hold onto Chain Chomp for as long as he can, but will eventually pull off, knocking off the rest of his opponents as he goes along the course.
Use Birdo and Yoshi in the Birdo kart in single player 150 cc (or mirror). When you are in first place, if you get a egg shoot it ahead. When it breaks open you could get a star. Stars appear from Birdo egs more frequently, and they make for a good weapon when you are behind.
To take control of the competition, choose Koopa Troopa and Paratroopa as your racers and either the Koopa Dasher or Toad Kart as your vehicle. Koopa Troopa's or Paratroopa's Triple Green/Red Shell special slows down the competition when in any position less than first and keeps them back while in first. The Koopa Dasher and Toad Kart are selected because their handling is by far the best in the game.
A good team is Diddy Kong driving with Koopa using the weapons in Baby Mario's Kart. You will get the good specials and good skills, and although Baby Mario's Kart is not that fast, it is the easiest to control.
When you get the Petey Piranha and King Boo combination use the following combos: King Boo and Bowser/Boo's Kart; or King Boo and Waluigi/Boo's Kart. King Boo is recommended because he can do all the specials. Bowser is recommended because of his big spiked shell. Boo's Kart is recommended because of its weight and acceleration; and the other combination with Waluigi's bombs.
Password
(Japanese version):
Complete a race in Time Trial mode then press L, R,
L, R, X, Y, X, Y, Z at the
"Retry" screen. A password that compares your result to other
gamers when entered at the game's Japanese web site will be displayed.
Glitch:
DK Mountain: Float:
When you go through the cannon, just as you start to drop down
have someone use a thunder. You will drop and start floating in the air.
This is very difficult to do. If it happens, you cannot move and will just
float there. You can tilt your cart, but you cannot be shot.
Glitch:
DJ Mountain: Hold nothing:
Drop a banana just before you enter the cannon. You will be
holding nothing when going through the cannon.
Glitch:
Pipe Plaza Balloon Battle: No damage in pipe:
On Pipe Plaza, you cannot get damaged when going in the pipe. If
someone laid an item in front of the pipe, if you hit the item while driving
through the pipe you will not lose a balloon.
Glitch:
Rainbow Road: Disappear:
When you get to the turns before the large pipe with fan, go off
the track as if you are going to clip the corner. You will go off the track
and then reappear on the track with no time taken off.
Glitch:
Waluigi Stadium: Wrong pickup:
After the part with the green pipes on the long straight, if you
get a blue powerslide and boost up the incline on left, almost immediately
after the last pipe you will go flying in the air towards the part where you
boost over the gap at the end of the level. The CPU will think you have
fallen off at the boost bit and Lakatu will pick you up and drop you off
just before the boost.
Glitch:
Incomplete switching:
Choose any pair of characters and a kart (for example, Mario,
Peach, and the Heart Coach). Next choose a track with an animated jump (for
example, DK Mountain, getting shot out of the cannon; or Rainbow Road,
getting shot straight up in the tube). When you get to those places on the
track, get shot out of them. As you are falling, get ready to switch. If you
switch characters just before you hit the ground, you will see the back
player switch to the front, but not the other way. The driver that was
supposed to switch to the back bypassed the switching animation and was
already in the back. Notes: This will also appear in the replay, however you
cannot do this after you have fallen and Lactu has rescued you.
Glitch:
Name mix-up:
When selecting your team in single player mode, choose Mario and
Luigi very quickly. Luigi will actually say the "O" in Mario,
making his name sound a lot like "Luigi-o".
Please select the first letter of the game's title below. If the word "The" appears at the start of a title, ignore it and search for the second word in the title:
