My recommendation is a small character with roller wheels and the royal ribbon.
This gives you excellent acceleration and handling which makes taking tight turns to save time and recovering from attacks much easier.
(This works best for Ace players who are very good at the game)
Drop back to a low position and pick-up an item
Recommend: Bullet Bill, Star, Lightning, Blue Shell
Hold your item till a critical moment (Even if you are 1st)
If your opponents have lightning or a blue shell is approaching you, use this item to save yourself from the one attack.
Further tips on this: Draw the blue shell to others as well to maximize damage.
Lightning should be used to get rid of those items before they are used.
If you fall into lava or go off the edge of the course into out-of bounds, hit accelerate (A) just as lakitu drops you back on the course and you will get a small boost start to get you back into the game.
(Practice your timing for this one)
It works well for low acceleration vehicles.

One of my personal favourites ^_^
When you hold a strong item, (Bullet Bill, Lightning, Blue Shell, Gold Mushroom, Star Power, Triple Mushroom) hold the item as long as you can.
Next step varies on item held
Attack Item - Bullet Bill, Lightning, Star Power, Blue Shell
This will be used to disrupt your competition just before the finish line.
Run down your opponents for a sudden change of place at the finish.
Defensive Item - Golden Mushroom, Triple Mushroom, Bullet Bill, Star Power
This will be used to short-cut for a fast finish.
Use the item/s and make great use of the short-cuts and catch your opponents off guard.

When you get a Lightning Bolt, Blue Shell, Star Power or a Bullet Bill, hold onto the item for a while then use it when you think would cause a lot of damage.
(Note: Blue shell should not be used in first unless you are on teams as it will hit you instead)
Go to Wuhu Loop and at the 3rd section, You will need a mushroom to do the shortcut, now use the mushroom don't tounch the circle pad and time your drift and if you time it right, you will teleport near the finish line!
Press a right after 2 leaves the screen and if lakitu is picking you up press a right when your wheels touch the ground and press r right when you go to jump a edge
To unlock your mii win all cups in a class. Then you should see mii as a player.
Hold A around when the 2 starts fading at the start when there's a bump/ramp hit jump also get a coin and you well get a really really small boost The three fastest racers are bowser , metal mario, and honey queen . Choose one of them. Select the Zucchini car. Also choose the gold or slick tires. Then choose the Swooper type of glider. Those together equal the fastest speed possible. For bowser and honey queen, the weight is a lot, and handling low. For metal mario, handling really high, weight really low. (special thanks to gogojjtech for telling me that last one)
When you are gliding, you can press b to let go of the glider while you are gliding. Try to do this above land so you do not die. You can do this to avoid red shells that are heading for you or any item except blue shells.
When you press b, you will go slow when you land.
You can throw items forward by going up on the circle pad and throw items behind you by pressing down and using item. Really simple once you do it a lot.
The three fastest racers are bowser , metal mario , and honey queen . Choose one of them. Select the Zucchini or B-dasher car. Also choose the gold or slick tires. Then choose the Swooper or the beast type of glider. Those together equal the fastest speed possible. For bowser and honey queen, the weight is a lot, and handling low. For metal mario, handling really high, weight really low.
If you have a bullet bill and you KNOW there is a shortcut ahead, go to the shortcut then use the bullet bill. The bullet bill takes the longest way but at a fast speed. It skips ALL shortcuts. You can use the bullet bill to knock out others.
If you have trouble with races, go to time trial. Select to face with nintendo studios or retro studios. Follow them to learn the ways of the track and shortcuts. If you see other choices from spotpass or streetpass that are faster, follow them for a faster time. Then you can become good at your races. (online vs can also help for learning)
Whenever you have boosts or stars you can drive through grass, dirt, or others without you slowing down. In time trial, do this once a lap if you can make it. You should know if you are underwater, diving in other terrains does not slow you down.
When you have a blue shell, you should wait for people to move close together. Since the shell hits whoever is in your way, you can hit lots of opponents at once and you could be put in the lead
When You Go To The Ledge In The Tunnel In Time Trials Use A Mushroom And When The Person Riding a cloud It brings you to the lake ahead of you.
When your racing, go close behind another racer to gain boost and then you go faster.
In cheep cheep lagoon course, there is a hidden path right before your first dive. And I mean literally on your right. U dive on the right(caution!there will be a bottomless pit on your right soon!).another path is the one that has the glider ramp. Though I'm not going into detail because it's obvious. The paths I'm going to talk about are the ones that are on either side of it. Most likely you will accidentally land in these(because most of you might just want the glider ramp but people knock you into these paths). These paths both have item boxes though.
