When you jump from the bridge make sure you don't touch the track. It should work 100% of the time. I got about 49 seconds but I can't remember exactly.

re: Mario Kart secrets & help

Does anyone know how to jump the wall in Mario Raceway? I think you have to go up the hill at the beginning and boost off of it. It's impossible!

Not impossible but nearly. You need a mushroom. Go up the hill, turn round to face the track and boost down. The track goes up slightly here so jump at the very last second before you leave the tarmac. Aim to the right for a bigger shortcut.

re: Mario Kart secrets & help

In Koopa Beach there is the big short-cut but if your not as confident on making the jump take this one. When you get6 to the lagoon, near the big short-cut, go right at the fork and take the sand bar. Watch for the crabs, taking this should jump you ahead a few places.

In mirror mode do you get anything for all golds.

The fastest yoshi route for me is left past the hedgehogs, across the thin path over the drop and straight on to the single path leading to the giant yoshi egg.

re: Mario Kart secrets & help

you can hop up after the first hill where the gray bricks are on choco mountain. do a mini turbo to get up there. it's a little easier with star. on yoshi valley, the fastest route is left right left on regular. if you can avoid the porcupines, it'll put you a few seconds ahead. when all the paths meet up, start a slide turn at the end of the rail to a 180 degree turn to land on the path below. in dk's jungle parkway, if you can manage to turn your kart to the left-hand corner of the cave coming out, lakitu will put you back in the cave to skip you a lap or you can hit the wall and fall back in the cave also. you can get stuck in the bat box in banshee boardwalk by being hit with a star or read shell. drive to the right-hand corner to get out.

my best time is 24"22 and my best lap is 5"43.

I don't know if you know but there are shortcut (a shortcut to me is jumping over a fence or using a glitch that make you skip part of the race so the tunnel in Koopa Troopa Beach isn't one for me) in almost every course?

-Luigi Raceway : I just managed to get it nicely but crashed great lap though
-Kalimary Desert :not much but it's still a shortcut

-Toad Turnpike : Cool one and very easy to pull off
-Frappe Snowland : already said still a great shortcut
-Choco Mountain: Just got it twice unfortunatly missed it on 2nd lap
-Mario Raceway : got it 3/3 but not that fast so I will need to play it again

-Wario Stadium : Already said too and I really like this one I managed to get it 3/3 not a long time ago
-Royal Raceway : There is 2 shortcut the first one is easier and the second can give you a great time or just a nice time (99.9% of the time)

-DK Jungle Parkway: The one in the cavern is the best one
-Yoshi Valley : two shortcut here one for a fast 3 lap time and one for a fast lap time I got both and it's great to pull off
-Rainbow Road everyone know this one but do you know you could land up the spiral doing a lap lower than 1'10 (i never got it though )

If you want some information about one I can try to dscribe it to you. And they are all real!

re: Mario Kart secrets & help

Ummmmmm.....................
In the Kalimary desert, on like before the second lap or something, get a star. on the 2nd lap, use it and before you go through the 2nd rail road crossing, turn left and go through the train tunnel. keep driving.... i think until the first opening and then exit. if you did it right (or if i remembered it correctly) when you finish the lap, you'll be one lap higher than normal.
CAUTION though it's been an extremely long time since i used this one so i might not have recalled it correctly, But there IS a shortcut like this!!!

I heard this rumour thats not true (to my knowledge) a cheat where you can enter a code on the character select screen to bring up the players Koopatroopa and Kamek (the magic koopa) although this isn't true, i did get it from a reliable source (i think). This one probably only rings true for the Japanese version of the game.

Regarding Kamek Kooopa, s/he was once a playable character instead of Wario. In one of the Nintendo Powermags i have it shows a picture of her in the top 4 during the race. Anyone who saw that issue (it's a reaalllly old one) will know what im tsalking about.

Re: Kamek. In a picture I got he is in place of DK. Oh - remember there are no codes for this game. Not even for the japanese version so there.

There are course ghosts hidden on the Luigi Raceway, Mario Raceway and Royal Raceway tracks in Time Trial. I'm not sure of the exact times that need to be beaten.
Once when I was in time trials on Toad turnpike I saw a ghost of my charater go right passed me and then vanished! I was playing with Toad.

You were playing Time trials. Everytime you save it you will always race the ghost of your last race there.

Of course, you all knew that, right?
