Courses
Click the cup on the image below to go to it.
Nitro Cups
Mushroom Cup:
Figure 8 curcuit
The most basic courses in the game. Great for practicing snaking.
Yoshi Falls-The shortest courses in the game. Use the waterfalls as shortcuts but watch out for the second one. Use a star or Mushrooms.
Cheep Cheep Beach
Enjoy the beautiful beach but dont forget to drive. Stay out of the water and avoid cheep cheeps
Luigi's Mansion
Welcome to your new mansion. 1) Use a mushroom or star to cut through the grass. 2) Try not to drift in the mud. Better yet use the road. Avoid Trees.
Flower Cup:
Desert Hill
Does this seem like something from a NES game or is it just me? Stay on track and avoid Pokeys.1)Use 3 mushrooms or a star to get trough the nitch behind the pyramid. 2) This ones tricky. Using a triple Mushroom or a star you get jump over all the hills. Beware, its easy to go off course.
Delfino Plaza
Welcome back to Delfino Island. Try not to hit the wall and hit the awsome short cuts. 1)Use a mushroom to jump the gap and land on the dock. 2)After the bridge take the ally behind the creats. Use a mushroom or else it wont work. Just make sure you dont fall.
Waluigi Pinball
Waluigi finally has his own course, in pinball format. Watch out for the pinballs that roll down the track, as well as bummber and flippers twords the end..
Shroom Ridge
Racing on a mountain road isn't easy. Watch out for cars, they'll make you drop items if you hit them. Also the walls make it harder to swnake so a character with betterb drift might do better here. After the tunnel there will be a pit on the right side. Don't fall in.
Star Cup
DK Pass
What this place has to do with DK is unknown to me. Watch out for snowball rolling down the track, the snowman in your way, and the bottomless pit. Snakers be warn.
Tick Tock Clock
A course from Mario's N64 debue. Watch out for the clock hands and the big pendulem half way though the course. The gears midway though turn clockwise and counterclockwise, so dont try snaking on them. 1) Ride on the gears to move faster, but go on the one moving forward as they switch.
Mario Circuit
Mario introduces his curciut aging. Theres many twist and curves here so watch out. Watch out for gommbas but attack them with shells to get mushrooms. Pirahna Plants will shoot fireballs here. 1)Use a mushroom between the wall and the Pirhana plant. 2)Use a star to zoom on through.
Airship Fortress
The docking bay for Bowser's ships is dangerous. Bullet Bills early on, Rock Wrenches after and streems of fire. Hit boxes with Shell to get mushrooms.
Special Cup:
Wario Stadium
Wario Stadium returns to the Mario Kart universe. There are a lot of boost here so use them to there full advantage. The wall will make snaking difficult, so stay on your toes. 1) Use 3 mushrooms or a star to cut trough the middle.
Peach Garden
Im not sure Peach would like you driving in her yard. Oh well. There chain chomps(who trail items) and monty moles so watch out. 1)Use a mushroom to cut through the grass 2)Use a mushroom here as well.
Bowsers Castle
Mario returns to the castle, but this time its atrophy he's after. Twomps litter the course, so to be safe dont drive under them. Also try to stay on courses. 1)Insted of going out keep moving on the wheel. A mini turbo helps, but beware of flames. 2) Use the spinning pipe to get ahead of the compotion. Also put a banana in front of it for good luck.
Rainbow Road
This is it. The last course. Try to stay on track, so try not to snake much(unless your good). If you fut Items down where the boost are upside down(like in the loop-de-loop) players will be pulled away by Lakiu.
Retro Cups
Shell CupMario Curcuit(SNES)
The course that started it all. This place is preety basic, but the short roads make snaking hard. 1) use a Mushroom to get over the dirt. Use a triple mushroom or star for better effect.Moo Moo Farm
Good old Moo Moo Farm. Although there will be no cow in the road there will be monty moles on the inside of the track. Try not to tread over there holes unless you have a star(or are daring).
Peach Curcuit
Peach finnaly has here own curcuit. This place is full of curves, so its good for practicing mini-turbos.Luigi Curcuit
Luigi too! This place is big, so snaking is a breeze. Stay away from the chomp. 1) Instead of using the boost, continuosly mini-turbo. Its much faster.Bananan Cup
Donut Plains 1
This place it just filled with turns. Mini turobs will help here, and snakings preety easy here. 1) Use a mushroom to get through the nitch. 2) there a patch of dirt here(its light so it wont affect you much). If you do a mini-turbo here you might get ahead(recommend light weight)Frappe Snowland
This place is cool. Watch out for snowman as they litter the track. Also dont try ansd cut throgh the snow. You get picked up by Lakiu 1)If you go right its safer but slower where as the left is more dangerous and faster. Bowsers Castle 2
Back in Bowsers Castle. This place is littered with thwomps so look out. Also try to take advantage of the boost.Baby Park(GCN)
Probobly the most basic course in the game. It has 5 laps. Try to cut the corners really tight. Good place for snaking.Leaf Cup
Koppa Beach(SNES)
This place is lovely in a 16-bit kind od way. Midway watch out for dark pools of water. Its deep.
Choco Mountain(N64)
This place is nothing but walls so snaking is hard. Also keep an eye out for falling rocks.
Luigi Curciut(GBA)
(Another Luigi curcuit) This place is nothing but turns, so a high drift character would do well here. Dont drive in puddels!
Shroom Bridge(GCN)
Sadly most of the shortcuts were removed from the Gamecube version. There is one where you can boost up the hill. Watch out for cars.
Lightning Cup
Choco Valley(SNES)
This place has alot of Pirahna plants so watch out and the mud and jumps make turning hard. Avoid them! Early on use a mushroom to boost troght the nitch(right afetr the start line)
Banshee Boardwalk(N64)
Ghost haunt this boardwalk. Although the do nothing. There isn't much railing so stay on course. The bats will push you back.
Sky Garden
This place is littered with.....................SHORTCUTS(finally good news). Use mushrooms on the ramps. Also use them on clouds as they slow you down.
Yoshi Curcuit
Finally the end. There so many turns that yoyu just have to use mini-turbos. There a shrotcut too. Use a mushroom to clear the gap on the 3rd turn(befor the big 180 turn)
