Shortcut in Yoshi Valley
On the Yoshi Valley track, after all of the split roads come together, there is a semi-strait path, and then a hairpin turn to the left. If you look closely, the road after the turn comes very close to the road before the turn.
You can jump from the road before the turn, to land on the other piece of track. You don't even need a mushroom or star to do this.
Making the jump isn't very hard, but after you jump, make sure to push the break button so that you don't go flying off the other end. This shortcut will give you a significant lead in front of the other players.
