Hints and Tips for Mario Kart Double Dash
(GameCube)

This only works if your play as yoshi,so try it out!

First,make yoshi do all the weapons,then when someone gets next to you,no matter how far away they are,he will punch them!

A friend of mine taught me this, and it works!

To get the Best car in the game,you must acheive everything.That's right.You got to beat all the cups on every mode(easy,medium,hard,mirror)and you must have a gold trophy on all of them.You will then get the Golden Car.

Once you unlock mirror mode play mirror mode and choose the star cup. Come overall in first place in the whole cup and you will recieve the two characters plus petey's warpipe kart

If you choose wario and then birdo, if you have wario drive, he would drive faster that when birdo would drive since it is his kart.

Hello mortals. It is I, Cez, the master of gaming. Today I will be telling you how to be nearly as good as me at Mario Kart: Double Dash!!

1. How to Dodge Red Shells

When you can see a Red Shell in the warning bubble behind your kart, go into a power-slide and charge your mini-turbo. Release the turbo when the Shell is about to hit you, and it should miss and skid off the track or into a wall. Alternatively, drop a banana/Green Shell/Red Shell before it hits you. The Red Shell wil hit your weapon and break. DO NOT USE FAKE ITEM BOXES! THEY DO NOT WORK!

2. How to dodge Lightning Bolts

When a Lightning Bolt is about to hit (easier in multiplayer since you can see who's got one), try and hit a banana/Green Shell/fake item box/anything else that's lying around. If you are on DK Mountain, you cannot be hit while you are in the air after being shot by the Barrel Cannon.

3. How to Dodge Blue Shells

The hardest one of all, this rarely works. You will notice that when the Blue Shell reaches youi, it hangs back, then rushes forward. It has no directional capacity during the final rush i.e it can't turn. If you use a Mushroom while power-sliding or hit a boost pad just before the Blue Shell hits, it should sail straight past you and with any luck hit the wall far enough away to not catch you in the explosion. Also, hitting another item means that the Blue Shell will still hit you and explode, but it does not affect you. Blue Shells, like Lightning Bolts, can't hit you while you-re in the Baller Cannon's airspace.

Obviously, a Star can be used in all cases, but I bet you already knew that.

Until next time, my friends.

Adios.

Ok, Let me just wrap up the missed shortcuts...

Luigi Ciruit:
1.Before the chain chomp, go to turn right and take another path (the chomp can still get you)
2.when you see tunnels when you are going straight, turn right for another shortcut that is identical to the first one.
3.On the turns, there are speed boosters. 4. Above the speed boosters, there is another track, though it's useless.

Peach Beach:
1.As you are going into the beach area, go left and you will find a shortcut (ONLY USE ON LAP 3 UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR CART TO BE FULL OF WATER).
2.When you are going up the hill near the end with the rolling item boxes, turn left instead of going straight for a double item box.
3.Near the beiggening, turn LEFT on the first turn to go into a tunnel and get a double item box.

Baby Park:
1. Always stay on the inside of the track on the turns, just don't get stuck.

Dry Dry Desert:
1.MUSHROOM & STAR SHORTCUTS
A. Where there are towers that are on the ground, they can be used as ramps. b. After the zigzag-like part of the track at the beginning, cut through the dirt to your right with a speed item.
C. Go through the quicksand (star only).
D. Near the end, around the last sharp turn, to your right there will be a billboard. Cut under it.

There's more, but those are the major ones. I'm sure you can find the others.

Daisy Cruiser:
1. When you go down the first flight of stairs, turn sharply right and go around the pool.
2. The hole in the hallway isn't out of bounds. You can go down there for a double item box.

Sherbet land:
1.near the end, in the part with the freezies, there is a tower to your left that you can jump behind.
You'll end up back on the normal track. Mario circuit:
1.You can cut through the grass near the first u-turn to the left, with a speed item.
2. Hit a goomba for a mushroom.

Waluigi Stadium:
1.before the first speed hill, take a mushroom and go to the left of the hill, then use it.
2. You can go above the fake plants during the obsticle course.

Mushroom bridge:
1. Hit a bombcar to explode.
2. Hit a shroomcar for a mushroom to pop out.
3. You can go on the arch of the bridge.
4.after the first tunnel, don't turn, (SPEED ITEM REQUIRED) go straight, and use it so that you go over the dirt onto a hill.
5. Right after the start finish, turn right for a secret path and a double block.

Mushroom city:
1. Bombcar for explosion
2. Shroomcar for mushroom
3. Near the end, go straight instead of turning into traffic to go on a secret path to dodge traffic. It's muddy, so take something fast with you.
4.near the first 3-way, go straight then turn to the right, to go to a secret passage.

Yoshi circuit:
1. After the second turn, go straight w/speed item and use it to jump a large gap and slice off a couple of seconds from your timer.
2. After the nose tunnel, you can see a cliff pointing out, use a speed item on it to go into an underground tunnel.

DK mountain:
1. While you are in mid-air from the cannon, press up or down to change the angle of your cart.
2. After the turn where there are boulders, HIT THE BRAKES!!! Then go SLOWLY straight, go up the grassy hill a little bit, then do a fast, small u-turn and jump an entire hill. You'll win.

Wario Colleseum:
1. Go straight where you normally would have to go left or right around the circle for a speed ramp.

Dino Dino Jungle:
1.after the first cave go to the right instead of straight up on a bridge. You will hit a speed bridge. Make sure you keep control, though.
2. In the main cave, turn right w/ speed item and use it to go over a log bridge.

Bowser castle:
1.The part where bowser is shooting fireballs, go straight to jump an entire u-turn.

Rainbow road:
1. Hit the speed boosts, but keep control. 2. This is a good place to practice dodging red shells.

This hint is for the beginners.If you pair up different pair you will get more specials.

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.

your going to need two players for this cheat to work.

first,select baby mario as driver and baby luigi as weapons.when you get into a race don't switch around,just keep it how it is.make sure your riding either the rattle buggy(unlock!),or baby marios kart(can't think of the name).This should increase your chances of winning!

The cars you'll have from begin:
red fire(marios kart)
DK jumbo(donkeys kart)
wario car(warios kart)
heart coach(peach'kart)
turbo yoshi(yoshi's kart)
goo-goo buggy(baby marios kart)
koopa dasher(koopas kart)
koopa king(bowsers kart)

Karts you can receive: level:
rattle buggy(baby luigis kart)mushroom cup 100cc
para wing(paratroopas kart)star cup 50cc
barrel train(diddy kongs kart)star cup 150cc
bullet blaster(bowser Jr. king)special cup50cc
green fire(luigis kart)mushroom cup 50cc
bloom coach(daisys kart)flower cup 50cc
turbo birdo(birdos kart)flower cup 150cc
waluigi racer(waluigis kart)flower cup 100cc
toad kart(toads kart)special cup 100cc
NOTE:by this kart you'll get toad and toadette
as characters to race.
toadette kart(toadettes kart)mushroom cup mirror mode.
piranha pipes(petey piranhas kart)star cup mirror mode.
boo pipes(king boo's kart)special cup mirror mode.

Parade kart(the kart of the winners by the trophy award)all cup tour mirror mode.

These were the karts and how to receive them. These are the cups and cup options and how to receive them:
MUSHROOM CUP(from begin)
FLOWER CUP(from begin)
STAR CUP(from begin)
SPECIAL CUP(win mushroom,flower and star cup in 50 and 100cc.
ALL CUP TOUR(finish all other cups in 50,100,and 150cc.
MIRROR MODES(finish ALL cups in ALL cc's.

These were the cups and how to receive them. These are the characters and how to get them:
FROM BEGIN:
Mario/Luigi
Peach/Daisy
Yoshi/Birdo
Baby Mario/Baby Luigi
Koopa/Paratroopa
donkey/diddy
Bowser/Bowser Jr.
Wario/Waluigi
AFTER SPECIAL CUP 100cc:
toad/toadette(and toad kart)
AFTER STAR CUP MIRROR MODE:
Petey piranha/king boo(and piranha pipes)

Here's the shortcut. On mirror mode do the cup with the level shaped like Yoshi.

You need a mushroom or a starman to do this.

At the eye on yoshi(you'll see it on the map)with the mushroom speed off when the gate ends and comes back you'll see a little ramp.

Ramp off.You will go into a little highway type place and come on the tip of yoshi's nose.

Thats the shortcut.

To beat the game eaisier choose heavy wieghts for 50cc choose middle wieghts for 100cc and light for 150cc its what i do and i always win gold.

PS. If you have super circuit for G.B.A don't be fooled by the Waluigi cheat, it does not work.

Press b just as the green light flashes at the start of a race

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.

Here is how you dodge a red shell when you see the sign
Of the shell pop up wait like 2 or 3 seconds or more then switch your
Player by pressing Z it is hard in 2 player mode when you have the drive 1p
And the thrower 2p cause you have to click Z together so use Z when you're alone


Hope you like my cheat

Enjoy!!

if you check the speeds of the bullet blaster to the speed of the buggies,the buggies are faster!

These are all the people you can unlock during the game.(I'm not going to say the characters that are already unlocked when you start the game.)

King boo
Petey Piranna
Toad
Toddette

I Think those are all of them that you can unlock.I'm feeling nice today.So I'll also tell you the karts you can unlock and how to unlock it.

Toad and Toddette kart:You will receive this when you unlock Toad And Toddette.

King boo's kart and Petey Piranna's kart:Found when you unlock King Boo and Petey Piranna.

Bullet Blaster:Found when you complete special cup on 50cc.(Easy Mode)

Barrel Train:Hmmmm...I forget.I'll submit how to get it when I remember.

The Parade Kart:The ultimate Kart.You can get this once you complete every single race on every single cup on every single mode.You must also get a gold trophy on all the cups.

I'm pretty sure that's all of the karts.All of these have been manually checked.

On luigi circuit if you go to 50cc, there are no shortcuts like there are in 100cc and 150cc, there should be a road behind the chain chomp, and also right near the finish line at the end of the hill that you go up on, hope this helped, love ya all...wait... That sorta came out rong...anyway thnx 4 readin(btw, I'm a guy, so don't think I'm not just because I said "luv y all", k, k)

Well first of all there is more characters in this game than 64 and you get to be in the same car.

I know a few there is peach, mario, luigi, yoshi, bowser, bowser-jr, baby-mario, waluigi, donkey.k, diddy.k, daisy, king-boo, petey-piranha, koopa-paratroopa, baby-luigi, wario, toad, toadette and birdo.

I actually think that this is them all and it is because there are 20 there I hope you get to like all the characters.

If your wondering who waluigi is, it is another one of marios evil brothers except he is in purple!

Win the Gold Cup on the Special Cup 150cc.

If you have a banana peel and you're in first place and thinking I don't need this, guess what? You do need it because if you're squeezed in a wall to wall and you know you're opponet has a trap behind you and you have a banana peal, you can put as much as you have to avoid them and race away to the finish line.

I always use this trick to win.

If your a starter for this game here's some tips you can use. First thing you have to pick characters.

Pick characters that are in the light weight class (e.g Diddy Kong, Parakoopa, Baby Mario, etc.).

Then pick a kart that has low speed but high acceleration. This kart could help you on levels when you go off road.

On sharp turns use drift (R button) to make you turn better.

This will not decrease speed. If you get use to this you can try a mini-boost. To do a mini-boost you first do a drift. Then you point the control stick the opposite way.

Keep on holding the drift button. Then you let go of the control stick. Then you point the control stick the opposite way.

This will perform your mini-boost.

I forgot how I got these levels but you can get 2!
The first: Tilt-a-kart
The second: Luigi's Mansion

I am really sorry I forgot how I got them but now you know you can get those levels!

P.S. The music of tilt-a-kart is the same as baby park and the music of luigi's mansion is the same as bowsers castle!
Just if you want to know!

For some reason Red shells travel faster if the CC is higher. For example they travel slow in 50 CC, medium speed in 100CC and fast in 150CC making them trickier to dodge.

To get tilt you have to beat flower cup on mirror difficulty
To get luigis mansion you need to beat the mushroom cup on mirror difficulty

What's up, okay to dodge a red shell get a green shell or bannana peel, when you see the picture of a red shell throw it behind you so it hits that instead

Either drive into them just after you've used a Mushroom or use a Star and hit them whilst the effect is still on you.

In mushroom city there's a shortcut at the start when you cut the corner you go straight on the right hand side theres a purple path and go on it.

In mushroom city there's a shortcut at the start when you cut the corner you go straight on the right hand side theres a purple path and go on it.

When you pass the giant dino's legs in one player mode, you will see crystals on the cave but when you are in two three or four player mode they are not there.

To do a mini turbo you have to start off by drifting. When you start to you will see yellow sparks move the analog stick from right to left then the sparks will turn orange do it again and they will turn blue. Once they are blue let go and you will go a little faster. This is good on turns and useful in the dry dry destert sink hole.

On DK mountain there are two shortcuts that can get you ahead. The first short cut is on the mountain. Stay to the far right and go down while the cpu's follow the path. You will go ahead. The other short cut is in the jungle area after the mountain. Once you make that sharp turn you will see that deep ravine. Ride over it but fast. Heavy karts have a lower chance. If you ride over it you will cut some time and ride right through the items and onto the bridge if you suceed good luck

Once you unlock mirror mode play mirror mode and choose the star cup. Come overall in first place in the whole cup and you will recieve the two characters plus petey's warpipe kart

If you choose wario and then birdo, if you have wario drive, he would drive faster that when birdo would drive since it is his kart.

On luigi circuit if you go to 50cc, there are no shortcuts like there are in 100cc and 150cc, there should be a road behind the chain chomp, and also right near the finish line at the end of the hill that you go up on, hope this helped, love ya all...wait...

Barrel Train:Hmmmm...I forget.I'll submit how to get it when I remember.

The Parade Kart:The ultimate Kart.You can get this once you complete every single race on every single cup on every single mode.You must also get a gold trophy on all the cups.

I'm pretty sure that's all of the karts.All of these have been manually checked.

Enjoy!!

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.

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.

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 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.

Each character without an item will get one from a double item box. Some double item boxes will appear where Item boxes do; others will show up in fixed locations.

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.

use diddy or donkey kong when you have the big banana and you are about to go to a jump use it and people will slip

once when you start the race on bowser's castle go northwest NOTE make shere you have some speed. now you fell down into the water now you should be at the part when you see bowser shoting fireballs at you this is the best way to win

On Rainbow Road there are starmen laying on the road if you run into one
You will be invisincible for a short period of time

At Daisy's Cruiser, at the pool, go right around the edge instead of left. If you don't fall in, it will gain you ground.

Now do you like being in first without wanting to get hit? Tough luck, though I will tell you what the item efects are.

Name:Accuracy:Target:Hint

Items

Green Shell:Bad:Anyone:Try to dodge it or throw a shell at it.
Red Shell:Normally Dead On:Whoever's in front of you:If someone threw one at you, throw a shell behind you to block.
Spiney Shell:Dead On:first place person:You can't dodge this item, only invinsebility can block it.
Fake Item Box:Depends:Anyone:You'll see it turn red for like two seconds.
Star:Dead On:You:Watch out for someone who's invinsible, they might get you.
Mushroom one or three:Dead On:You:Watch out for someone who's fast, your item might get stolen.
Banana Peel:Depends:Anyone:You can only dodge them, unless you're invincible.
Thunder Bolt:Dead On:Everyone besides you:Only invinsibilety can dadge it.


Name:Who can use it:Accuracy:Bad thing

Special Items.

Fireball:Mario, or Luigi:Good:It can hit you
Giant Banana Peel:DK, or Diddy Kong:Depends:ounce hit, three banana peels apear, and you might slip on them.
Heart:Peach and Daisy:Dead on:nothing bad about it.
Three shells red, or green:Koopa (Green), or Paratroopa (Red):Depends:Greens may hit you.
Chain Chomp:Baby Mario, or Baby Luigi:Realy Good:nothing bad.
Eggs:Yoshi, or Birdo:Dead on:The eggs drop items.
Bowser's Shell:Bowser or Bowser JR.:Good:This may hit you.
Bob-omb:Waluigi, or Wario:Good:This bomb hits you too!

Thats all of them.

There are shortcuts in some levels, i'm going to tell you some of the ones I know ok there are : the one in the city I don't know where exactley but it shows a building with a crack in it drive you're car in there then keep going
second: the one on yoshi's island on the first turn, turn right before the cave there's a little bit of field go up there and there you are ( I forgot to mention you can only got up here if you have a boost so make sure you have a boost) third and final: the one with the dinosaurs where the water is spurting up inside the cave take a right and theres a bridge.. Take the bridge only if you have a boost or else you'll fall and lose time...


Happy Gaming,General_Ike3

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.

To get the Toad team you have to beat the Star cup at 100cc.

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!!

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!
