I made this trick up and I hope you guys like it!
What you need:
1. Mario Kart DS
2. ANY car (I recommend a car with high speed and good items ranking)
3. Item Boxes
4. A short, easy track (like the Mario Baby Park)
What to do:
1. Make sure you are 8th, or last. You should be quite far away from the 7th person.
2. Then slowly start driving and drive into an Item Box. When you are last, or near last position, you will usually get good items from the Item Boxes!
3. When you get good items (like the Golden Mushroom and Bullet Bill), you then continue driving as usual and keep up with the group. Try to be at least 4th.
4. Then use your special item, like Bullet Bill or the Golden Mushroom, which I HIGHLY recommend. Then you will h..
Ever wanted to get a free boost without worrying that you won't get a mushroom in the item boxes? Well now you can!

If you see a player (at the Touch Screen's - Status) holds a Lighting Bolt, fall off the track. If you manage to do it at the right time, the Lighting Bolt will only shrink everyone else excluding you. This may be the worst way to do so. This technique can only work on some tracks, such as Tick-Tock Clock, GBA Sky Garden, and Yoshi Falls
Launch Mario Kart DS from the HOME menu. When both screens suddenly turn white, close the 3DS quickly and wait 5 seconds or as much as you desire. Then open the 3DS. Instead of a double-vroom sound, you'll hear a long fade vroom.

In time trials select any person with any car. While racing, find a small entrance to your left. Use all of your mushrooms. You will jump on a brown platform. Can be used in vs and grand prix races too.

Stay as close as you can to the inside of the road so you are up close to the side of the track.

If you drift on the inside rooms in the course Twilight house balloon battle, you may experience this. You can infinitely drift, until you well decide to stop. Since it's on balloon battle, you can run into item blocks while drifting and play normally. I discovered this myself, and it's NOT A CHEAT. Since the course includes a lot of turning, it's a perfect course. I find it easier to win since you can dodge and attack at the same time while moving. It may not work for you, because it may take time to learn a more advanced level of this game. Sometimes it's hard and sometimes it's easy, so try it out and improve your Mario Kart!
In any race while the count down tap A until 1 comes up then hold A
My buddy invented this glitch and I figured out how to reverse it.
On any circuit were you can drive around the opposite direction, (of the original direcion) then drive around the circuit the origional direction, you won't advance to the next lap.(It wont say your on your secound lap)
I.e. If you drive around the circuit 5 times in the opposite direction, then for the first 5 laps (driving around the correct direction) it will say you are still on your 1st lap.
This glitch has been tested on the us and pal versions and work fine
Please rate it.

To get level 7 unlocked you have to get a star for each of the other 6 levels but I'm not telling you who the boss is.But what I will tell you is he is a little hard to beat.You have to race him on the mushroom bridge but a easy way to beat him is to go up that hill with the dirt road and let him hit you.
P.s.Yoshi in standard cart is the beat to use in the races.
This is the ultimate battle attack, first go to battle mode. (balloon battle)
Choose your character and go to Pipe Plaza, start with two balloons find an item and hope you get a Bob-omb. Press and hold the Y button. Be close to an opponent that will enter a pipe and throw it, it will blow up quickly. It is ultimate because you may hit more than one opponent. CAUTION: If you get hit, you may fall off the stage and lose two balloons.
Good darkrai wants you to rate..
In choco island 2 go round and the stripy bit on the side theres a gap go through there and your right next to the finishing line
On mario kart theres a hidden character R.O.B!!!{hes on super smash bros brawl} to unlock him you have to beat the lightning cup on 150cc mirror in first and you unlock him.On the action replay if you do unlock all karts and characters you wont get him.Hope this helps!!!! Please rate this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
to get farther off jumps press are as soon as you get off the jump and yo willjunp 20% farther. It helped me win 150cc
All you have to do in gracd prix is tap L a few times and you'lle get a bannana, a red koopa shell, or an item box most of the time.In ballon battle when you hit an item box, slow down and you get the same results.
Ok when you aren't moving on like a battle or something, mover the D-pad left and right with R.O.B and it will look like hes dancing
In some stages like the tick-tock, Bowsers castle, sky garden, and some more too. Well on the last lap, just as your going to cross the line, jump off the edge and still cross the line it's kind of funny because they are falling off so it's kinda cool.

When in 1st place do not use a blue or red shell.Blue because you'd hit yourself and red because i'd go and do nothing.
Here is another way to use that trick hold down the L button whith a banana, shell, item box etc and hold the up button on the direction while holding L and release the L button still holding the up button tho and you should shoot the item that you were holding forward or backwards depending on which arrow you hold down NOTE DOES NOT WORK SIDEWAYS hope you enjoy
I have completed the game many of times now so I have some good advice lets start shall we when you have an item such as a banana, shell, box etc or any thing like that and you are first. Hold the L button down I think it is that makes you shoot anyway hold it down and insted of it letting go of the item you will still have hold of it this is pretty useful if you have someone right behing you and all you got to do it let them run into you while holding the item behind you.
When using a boost if there is grass like terrain,use a boost on it,it will make it like a shortcut like on clouds,sand,and grass.And also on small gaps like on the sky course and on ramps.
If you want to beet your oppents fast put difficulty on easy and make robo legs your cart.

If you fall off the track or get stuck underwater for more than a couple moments, Lakitu comes to pull you out and place you on the track again. When he picks you up, wait until you're dropped onto the track again, then press the acceleration at that exact moment and you'll get a turbo boost if you timed it correctly.
On the big loop before the finish, if you bump head first into the right-side wall, your kart will fly to the finish line.
Red shells are the best to use in races or battle mode because it is like a homing missile but it's a homing shell,But a red shell can't rebound off walls without breaking where as a green shell only goes straight forward but it rebounds off walls.
A much easier way is to start holding down A half way through the second beep so use the sound not the numbers.
If you get it right you can PRB off it and get crazy times.
OK let's get down to buisness you can unlock
Mirror Mode: by beating 150cc all of the courses.
OK you can unlock R.O.B.: by beating all of the Nitro cups to unlock him.
R.O.B. Description: OK just to let you know all you Starfox fans this is not that R.O.B. This is a totally new robot h is the bets character in the game so he is very important. Got it so now you better go unlock him because I won't say it again.
On ballon battle press and hold select and hold the d pad left.when I did this I hade the moonjump code on my ar activated.
Did you know that on bowser's castle you can take a shortcut!
On the spinning wheel instead of going off the spinning wheel keep going and avoid the fire and you will find a shortcut and you will save at least 20 seconds of your time per lap! And the computer karts only follow you in mirror mode but they don't always!
Best charectors in terms of handling and skill:
Luigi
Mario
Yoshi
Best karts:
Yoshi's main kart (egg shaped)
Luigi's main kart (looks like a vacuum)
Mario's B dasher (his main kart)
I hope this helps!
In bowser castle 2, use moonjump to cut corners of the track. In desert hills just use it to skip over the places you would usually use a mushroom for. Don't try using moonjump in waluigi pinball because it will just put you in last place. In banshee boardwalk you can skip over big parts of the track when you come out of the house and you can skip the second corner right after the finish line
Hope this helps!
In the 3rd time you battle against chief chilly, get the mushrooms but don't go to him. Make HIM come to you. That's the time you use the mushrooms. Hope my hint works!
-hellkaizer
In the 1st and 2nd lap against Wiggler, don't use the shortcut. You will see more item boxes there. In the 3rd lap, I suggest to USE the shortcut. Also, always remember when you get an item box in that mission, use it immediately! :D
I just discovered this when I went to the boss stage in Mission 6. In the third time, he can jump so that you can fall to the water in order for you to lose a life. Here's my hint: Get an item and MAKE Chief Chilly come to you. Once you see him running over to you, that's the time you use the mushrooms. If you're able to push him to the water with this, I salute you congratulations. I tried this once and I got a star.
On sky garden, YOU CAN JUMP OVER THE 2nd RAMP WITH A TURBO BOOST
(aimed at The 44th Tree) by driving to the right then skidding to
The left then boosting over the ramp (you'll need to jump too) and
Just after the start do the same again...whoo
Hi!
To use turbo at the starting hold A at 1 let go when it gets to number 2 hold A again when it gets to 3 let go then hold A again
When you come out of the tunnel use a mushroom on the grey wall but do it to the left as well and if you do it right you will fly over the red and white barrier to the left and into the sea (do this away from the blue barrier above the wall, the corner is best). If you do this you will be picked up by Lakitu and taken to the entrance of the tunnel. You could also just boost behind the red and white barrier on the left by being next to it and then boosting past it or just jumping behind it. But the first method looks a lot better. When you do this look at the mini map below of the whole track. That's a big jump...
When you get to the water and the rolling stones, go to the top part and then fall back down the grey slope. Now go to the start of the water and jump in the corner. You should appear back on top. I have managed it once without going on top, but haven't been able to repeat it (I might just have imagined it, but if it is possible it could be a useful shortcut).
This short can be mini turboed on 150cc but is hard to master and I've only ever managed it 2 laps in a row, or can be done with a mushroom on 150cc or 100cc but on 100cc is a lot harder.
When you get to the ramp that has an item box above it on sky garden go to the left of it. Now instead of turning right around the hairpin bend go straight on jumping from one sandy area to the next.
On 100cc you cannot make this jump with a miniturbo but with a mushrrom you can if you line yourself up with the vine on the far side of the other bit of track. Make sure you jump straight or you will fall short and tap the are button just at the edge.
Once you can do this every time you will win sky garden on wi-fi every time so long as you get three mushrooms from an it..
Jump Higher:
The good news is that when you are going over a jump all you have to do is press R to jump higher, the bad news is that it requires precise timing which isn't easy to do and may take you a while before you get the hang of it.
Save Time at Sandy Pits:
Don't get slowed down by the sandy pits on curves, just use a mushroom to cross over them.
Get the usual turbo start at the beginning and then turn right onto the water fallwhen you shoot off.
Drift across the waterfall while charging up a mini turbo. Do two or three mini turbos while drifting towards the bridge. Stay on the sloped bit (try to keep to the ery edge of the cliff for the first half) until just before the end for shortest distance. Be careful not to hit the post. At the middle of the bridge start drfiting left and then mini turbo when you reach the end of the bridge. Immediately start to do a mini turbo to the right and go across the turbo pad, but just catching the corner of it. Head for the waterfall not the bridge.
Just before you reach the waterfall release the mini turbo as this is when the turbo from the turbo pad runs out. Immediatley ..
Instead of using the pen, use the directional buttons and A.
Most of you probably figured this out earlier but I'm a bit slow.
I forgot to add that when you dodge a blue shell you have to hold down the direction of your power slide when you do your mini turbo or it won't work.
This is a very hard skill to master (the hardest skill to master) and can only be done done in 150cc or 100cc races, though in 100cc (wi-fi speed) it is very difficult to do. I've only ever managed it a few times but I'm still learning.
When you see someone with a blue shell on the lower screen you have to get ready to do a power slide turbo so go to a corner or the edge of the track. Once that blue shell is fired start doing a power slide (unless the person who fired the shell is very far away). What your aiming for is to have orange sparks coming out of the tyres by the time the shell has nearly reached you(you will hear it just before you can see the blue dot on the bottom screen).
This is the hardest bit and the bit I normally mess up on. When the shell is above..
To go back to the main menu quickly, hold start+select+L+R during a race or whatever. Note: I'm not sure if this works on wifi.
Did you know that lightning also destroys all snowmen on a track (they reappear after a while though).
If you see the person behind you with a red shell make sure you have a banana, bob-omb, green shell or red shell. When they fire it wait for it
to appear appear on the bottom screen and then dangle the banana, green shell or red shell behind until the red shell hits it. Make sure you are not going around a corner or it will just hit you on the side.
If you are on the wfc and therefore can't dangle by holding the l button then drop the banana just before it hits you or fire the shell backwards by pressing down while you fire it.
Don't dangle a bob-omb or it might blow you up (never tried it, but just don't).
The last methos is the bob-omb method which is thebest on the wfc as it has a large range. Simply drop the bob-omb behind you by pressing down a..
If you are not too far away from the person in second and you see someone with a blue shell or hear a blue shell coming, reverse back up to them and they will be flipped too when the shell explodes so they wont be able to overtake you.
When you get a red shell or blue spiny shell, hold onto until just before the person infront of you is moments away from the finish line and fire it, they will be stopped and you will overtake them.
If someone has a ghost just fire the weapon anyway or you will lose it and if it's a red shell it might be used on you.
Don't wait too long to fire your weapon or they may croos the finish line as they are hit.
When firing a blue shell stay away on the other side of the track or you will fly up or spin and lose your chance to overtake.
Start holding down the A button now when 2 starts to grow, this will give you a turbo a bit better than a mushroom.
Hold down the A button when the light is yellow.
If you press down or up when you go up a ramp your kart goes up or down
After the first few turns use a mushroom and boost over the little hill. It really helped when I was behind in 5th place or so.You san also snake then jump across without a mushroom.Don't fall in the water...
P.S. The staff ghost does not use this shortcut so use it to get farther ahead or a little closer
Im not totally sure how I did this, but if you go up to the ' Warning: Falling Rocks' sign in Choco Mountain and go a little to the right, then hold A and Down while pressing R repeatedly,you should be doing higher bunny-hops than usual, sort of up the Mountain a bit, and eventually you'll get an error message that says 'Unable to save ghost data'.
Looking at all of the stats of the racer will help you alot during races. When you first see what tracks your are racing at, you are then able to choose which racer you could do best with, and you will want to look at their speed, handling, and everything before you start to race with that person. If you are racing at rainbow roads, then you will want to not race with bowzer, but someone, a little bit smaller that will help you get around those turns better, and not fall off the edgs, when the rails are not their to catch you. When racing chose someone, that has fast enough speed, but where you are still able to control their kart so you do not speed of f the track, and then you have to go through the long waiting proccess of restarting, and then have to get back up to the front of the p..
If a spiny shell is coming after you and your in first be sure you have a banana or theres one on the track near you. once you hear it coming to you immediatly throw the banana in front of you! when you see the shell immediatly run into the banana! if done correctly you wont go flying into the air but go slipping onto the banana and get a little turbo boost! i did this by accident when i was in wifi. trust me i did it and i was laughthing!
If you want a quick boost without using a item here's how you press the L or R button to skid round corners but if you keep on left and right over and over again you will start to have blue fire coming out of your wheels then your fire will turn orange and when you let go of the all buttons you get a quick boost.
But you have to learn how to skid propelly round corners with just L and R without bumping into walls before you can boost while skiding but remember you can only do this round corners.
When you hear the sound of an approaching winged spiny shell immediatly get ready to do a mini turbo. You may have noticed that just before it hits you it flies straight up. When it flies straight up to it's highest point use a mini turbo or a mushroom. If done at the same time as the winged spiny shell reachesit's highest point. You will dodge it. I have done this myself and i'm sure you all saw it on wifi.
While in the Balloon Battle game, blow into the mic. When you're not moving.
Just to let you people know. On DK Pass, on one of the snowy turns, there is an item box on the hill. The hill right before you go onto the long way down the mountain. In that item box, there will automatically be a star, triple mushroom, or single mushroom. Great to use in WIFI races. You can get those items even if you are in 1st! In first though, you will most likely get a single mushroom. Because of that, I win in DK Pass all the time. Good luck!
You know on rainbow road where the speed panels on the loopy loop things if you get hit by a red or I think green shell you will go up in the air and it might make you fall off or if your lucky you wont fall off and you will land back on the rainbow
