Boost

Unrated
Verified by: unverified
Bogus Report:

There are three different types of boost. 1) Mini Boost: Mini Boost is kind of useless. While your skidding, the sparks might turn red. Keep skidding and then there will be blue sparks. Then let go and the mini boost will happen. 2) Boost: Everybody should know about this boost. You get them from every kind of mushroom and when you press A right when it says start at the beginning of the race. 3) Super Boost aka Blue Boost: This is a very rare boost. You have to press A quickly right when it says start and you will get the blue boost. The blue boost lasts for a long time. It is very rare so try to get it.

Red Shells

Unrated
Verified by: unverified
Bogus Report:

After you throw a Red Shell forward, it doesn't ricochet; it homes in on the nearest rival kart like a guided missile. It has a long but still limited range and can be avoided if a driver shoots a Green Shell backward just before impact or outswerves the shell with a mini-turbo boost. In Grand Prix, you'll very likely get a Red Shell from an Item Box if your in the middle of the pack.

Green Shell

Unrated
Verified by: unverified
Bogus Report:

You can shoot a Green Shell forward or backward. The shell will zip in a line until it hits either a kart, which will take a nasty spin, or a hazardous item like a Banana, which the shell will blow off the track. A Green Shell will ricochet for a long time- making it a persistent nuisance. In Grand Prix, you'll more likely to get a Green Shell the closer you are to first place.

fake item

Unrated
Verified by: unverified
Bogus Report:

Fake out rivals with the Fake Item. You can throw it forward or drop it behind you. The Fake Item will stay put until another kart runs into it, which triggers the box's mini-explosion, frying the kart's steering for a few moments. In Grand Prix, you'll have a fair chance of getting a Fake Item when in first place, and less of a chance in second or third.

Item Box

Bogus Report:

If your rear character has no item in hand when your kart passes through an item box, he'll get a random item. Throw away a held item before you hit the box if you want a chance to get something better.

Mario Kart Glitch

Unrated
Verified by: unverified
Bogus Report:

When playing 'balloon battle' on 'Mario Kart Double Dash', choose the field 'Pipe Plaza'. Plant a banana in front of one of the pipes. When you run over the banana into the pipe, you will not lose a balloon but you will become invulnerable for a couple of seconds. This also works with other items, but you must make it through the pipe before the balloon comes off your cart.

Shortcut!!!!

Unrated
Verified by: unverified
Bogus Report:

In Bowsers castle when you come out and go down the steps, you would normally take the turbo jump, right? Wrong. Right before the turn, there is an opening in the track. Take it. You don't need a turbo but you should have one. Be careful, you don't want to get hit by a metal Bowser fireball. This shortcut should get you ahead at least 3 positions. Hope I helped!! :)

Boost at start

Bogus Report:

To get a boost when you are at the starting line watch the lights go off. Right before the last green light is lit you can press A. You can also press A with all the starting lights so that you will get a small boost and get out of the gate quicker!

To make the special cup easier, what you can do is do it against someone else. This will make it so there's less thwomps and when you get to the grating, there will be no fireballs!
