-Turbo start:

Press A to accelerate at the instant between the 

dimming of the second light and the flashing of 

the blue light at the start of the race. Performed 

correctly, your kart will rapidly accelerate ahead 

of the other racers. Note that accelerating too soon 

will result in a spin out. 

 

-Banana peel recovery:

When a banana peel is run over, immediately hold 

the brake for one second, then accelerate to avoid 

skidding or losing a balloon in battle mode. 

 

-Drafting:

Align your kart behind the next racer. Wisps of air

will appear from the sides of your kart. The small 

speed increase that your kart will gain should be 

enough to pass the racer that is being followed. 

 

-Mini-turbo slide:

Hold R to slide around a corner, and press the 

Analog-stick to steer in the direction of the turn, 

then to the opposite direction. The smoke from your 

kart will change from white to yellow if done correctly.

Continue to hold R and repeat the steering motion with 

the Analog-stick to change the smoke from yellow to red. 

Release R once the smoke becomes red. The speed of your 

kart should increase for a few seconds. 

 

-Quick restart:

After falling off a course, watch as Lukita places 

your kart back on the track. Press A when your kart 

is two or three tire widths from the track to 

immediately resume the race. 

 

-Mirrored courses:

Win the gold cup in the 150cc class. After the 

Nintendo 64 is reset, the title screen will change 

to confirm that mirrored courses are enabled. Enter 

the 150cc option under GP mode to access the courses. 

Note that when racing the mirrored Toads' Turnpike, 

you will be going against the traffic. 

 

-Mario 64 castle:

Follow the yellow road to the right of the big jump 

on the Royal Raceway course to reach the castle from 

Mario 64. 

 

Super Cornering:

1. Press and hold R and the joystick while turning. 

   (Left or Right it doesn't matter)

2. Behind the car dust should be coming out in the 

   form of a V then it will change to a gray E.

3. (If turning left) Click the control stick right 

   then back left. The E's should now turn yellow.

4. Repeat and the E's should turn red.

5. Release R and you car will get a burst of speed.

6. Note the moving of the stick changes how hard your 

   car is turning, keep your car in control.

7. Try this trick on Rainbow Road, you can do it three 

   or four times in one turn. (This is essential for 

   beating the computer in the harder levels) 

 

-Shortcut in Royal Raceway:

When you off the big self prepelled ramp take asharp left 

and if you make it you will be right by the finish lineif

you don`t make it you`ll run into the mountain or you`ll 

just miss. 

 

-Rainbow road shortcut:

After you start, when the hill starts to go down turn and 

jump of the side of the road. It takes good timing and 

practice to know when to jump but it cuts off about 

a quarter of the race.

record for Mario Raceway. 

 

-Course ghost racers:

-Protect yourself:

You can protect yourself from getting hit by shells, or 

you can get back at other racers with this trick. Make 

sure you have a single or multiple bananas, or a single 

shell. Hold Z instead of simply pressing the button. 

The power-up will now be in back of your racer. If another 

racer shoots a shell at you, the banana/shell will block it. 

You can also hold the power-up until a racer gets in back 

of your vehicle. 

 

-Throw a shell behind your kart:

Get a single red or green shell. Hold Z, press Analog-stick 

Down, then release Z. If done correctly, the shell should 

shoot straight behind your kart. 

 

-Hop into first place:

Use the "Turbo start" trick, then hop on one of other karts

at the start of a race. If done correctly, your kart will 

hop into first place. 

 

-Wario Stadium shortcut:

Note the first bump right after starting a race at Wario 

Stadium. When the race starts, turn around and go back 

a short distance. Next, accelerate to the left side of 

the bump. Press R a couple of times when you are at the 

top of the bump. If done correctly, you will land on the 

other side of the wall, cutting off half or more of the 

race. 

 

-Yoshi's track shortcut:

Start racing and get to the area where all the routes 

combine. Go to the left until you see where the fence ends. 

After that, look down and you will see the other side of 

the track. Get to the location where the shortest jump is, 

then go back a little bit. Speed up, cut the wheel to that 

short jump area, and press R. If done correctly, you will 

then end up on that side of the track, giving yourself 

a lead. Note: You do not always have to stop; but doing 

so may help until you are used to the trick.==== 

 

-Beach shortcut:

On the beach level if you haven't gotten a mushroom or 

star by the time you reach the arch, then get one of the 

boxes. If you get a star or a mushroom, keep going until 

you see a ramp with a cave ahead of it, then go up the 

ramp and use the mushroom or star. You will go flying 

forward into the cave, which is a shortcut. If you don't 

get a mushroom or a star, then make a sharp turn right 

and there will be a path going across the water as 

a shortcut. 

 

-Glitches:

 

-Luigi,(need two or more players.):

First pass a lap and get the itembox from the hot air 

balloon. Then go to the finish line. Then line up with 

the white line by the mountain. The person with spiny 

shell hold it. The other person goes to the opposite side 

of the track then charge at the spiny shell. You will 

fly through the mountain and land in the bridge. 

 

-Toads turnpike:

Must have 2 players. First one gets shield power. Then 

go to intersection on track. Plyers get on opposite sides

of the track. The person with the shield power turns it on. 

The other person charges at the person with the shield power.

He then goes through the wall and on to the track. He lands

inside a tunnel. This counts as a lap.

 

-Royal Raceway (Not use heavy people):

In expert mode Race untill you are at the ramp when you hit 

the boooster make a hard left. Not to hard or you will go in

the moat. When you hit mountain side, hold control stick up,

hold 'A' button, and rapidly press 'R, and you are on the 

mountain ledge. 

 

-Invisible boxes:

Put out many fake item boxs, and a few will be invisible.

(You can Still blow up when you hit the invisible prize box)
