Set Blue Shell When you are on the final lap of the Delfino course in the Banana Cup, a Blue Shell will hit you on the bridge.

Quick recovery from POW Block You must have drifting set to manual for this trick to work. Before the third strike from a POW Block, start to drift so that your kart or bike will be in the air for the third strike. When you land, you should only spin once and maintain about the same speed. When an opponent uses a POW Block, it will spin you out on the third POW, causing you to lose an item and speed. However, if you perform a wheelie on a bike as soon as your hear the third POW, you will spin and lose your item but maintain your speed. Additionally, if you shake the Wii-mote, it will create a force field and protect you. Also, if you are off the ground (not jumping) from something such as a ramp, you will avoid the POW Block. Quick recovery on bike after being hit While on a bike, after you are hit or run into an item, perform a wheelie to increase your speed quickly. Drafting boost To get a small boost while racing, get directly behind someone on a long straight road. You also cannot turn while doing this trick. If done correctly, you will see several blue streaks that fly behind you. Keep driving straight, and you will see a blue force field in front of you. You then will get a small boost. Easy hit To score an automatic hit on anyone in a race, place a banana or fake item box immediately after you land from a DK Cannon. They will be forced to land on it. Use same character with more than one player This glitch works because you are automatically placed on the character you last selected. First, make have player one choose the character desired. Next, deselect the character, and move off it. Have player two select the character. Go back one screen, then enter the character selection screen again. You should now both be on the same character. Then, have both players select the character. Note: This trick also works for three and four players. Changing Mii driver's class Enter the Mii Channel, and change the weight of your Mii. This will cause your Mii driver in the game to change to the corresponding weight class and give you access to the corresponding new vehicles. Fast time in Coconut Mall To get the Expert Staff Ghost on the Coconut Mall time trial, use the Wild Wing medium kart. Take a right into a store on the right side after the first escalator, then use a mushroom. You will see a Delfino tree person at the door. DK Summit shortcut After you shoot out of the cannon and come up to the turn, go off the jump toppers on the left. This should send you soaring through the curve and give you a good lead. Hidden items in DS Delfino Square Hit the crates on the side of the road with either your kart or a shell. A Super Mushroom will sometimes pop out, but very close to the edge. Koopa Cape shortcut Once you go over the ramp leading into the fast stream, keep going around, and enter through the little arch with the ramp on the left. This requires something that gives speed, such as a Super Mushroom, Invincibility Star, or Golden Mushroom. Instead of going around the giant red hat, pass through the grass behind it, giving a straightaway path. This will help you win the race and improve your ghost times in Time Trials mode. Hidden items in Koopa Cape After making the first jump, you will notice a few Goombas walking in place. Fire a shell at one to reveal either nothing or a Super Mushroom. You can also run into one if it is in the status of a Mega Mushroom, Invincibility Star, or Bullet Bill. Hidden items in Maple Treeway There are many leaf piles on the track. Run through one to reveal a Super Mushroom or Banana Peel. Once you get on top of the tree with the caterpillar creatures, an Invincibility Star may be found in one of the bushes on the left side of the treetop, but not on every lap. You may need to veer off to the left after hitting the bush because the star pops out jumping left. This is useful in getting far ahead of the group if in first place or to catch up if near last place. Hidden items in Mushroom Gorge There are some Goombas on the track that contain Super Mushrooms or absolutely nothing. Using Triple Shells as ramming weapon After you get a Triple Shell item of any color, press 2 so that all three are spinning around you. Before you launch them, you can use them to ram other cars. It does the same damage as if you launched them at an opponent. Avoiding Spiky Shells When you are in first place and have a Spiky Shell coming at you, hit the brakes so the racers behind you will get stuck in the blast, allowing you to keep your lead. Defending against Blue Shells This trick requires a Mushroom. The Blue Shell goes up and comes down. Before it hits, you will have time to use a Mushroom and avoid the shell. You should boost forward and the Blue Shell should explode behind you. This trick requires some sort of speeding item, such as a Speed Mushroom. You must be in first place to get a Blue Shell targeted at you. Once the Blue Shell is above your head, use the speeding item just before it descends. It will make a large explosion behind you, but will miss. You can also avoid them by using the following tricks on the indicated courses: DK Summit: Go through the DK Cannon. N64: DK's Jungle Parkway: Go over the jumps over the yellow river. GCN: DK Mountain: Go through the DK Cannon. Rainbow Road: Go through the tunnel with the giant stars on each end. Defending against Red Shells You can block Red Shells by equipping an item behind you. Once you have an item, hold D-pad Left or D-pad Right. Items that work are Green Shells, Red Shells, and Bananas. Do not hold Fake Item Boxes or Bob-ombs behind you. Avoiding Red and Green Shells To avoid a Red or Green Shell, go on a DK Cannon if one is available. The shell will disappear at the entrance. You can also use this trick for clouds. They will disappear above you on the cannons, and you will not be affected by them. Getting rid of clouds If you have a cloud over your head, ram into another player to get rid of it. Team drafting boost This trick requires two or more players. While playing in VS. Team racing, draft by following a friend somewhat closely from behind. Once you get the boost, go around him or her to take the lead in front of them. Have that friend draft behind you. Keep repeating this to quickly finish a race. Winning online A win counts as long as points are added to your total score. For example, if you get fifth, or sometimes sixth, place in an online race, it is still considered a win. The same goes for Battle Online. You can be on the losing team, but if you scored enough coins or hits and it adds points to your score, then it can be a win. Golden Wii Wheel icon After using the Wii Wheel extensively in all modes, a golden Wii Wheel will appear next to your name when you go online. Profile name stars You can add a star next to your profile name on the results screen and the Wi-Fi races by completing all Grand Prix races with a certain rank: One star profile name: Earn a "One Star" rank in all Grand Prix races. Two star profile name: Earn a "Two Star" rank in all Grand Prix races. Three star profile name: Earn a "Three Star" rank in all Grand Prix races. Rank requirements The following are requirements to get a "One Star", "Two Star", or "Three Star" rank: Get a final score of 53 or better. Lead most of the laps. Stay in first place for a good period of time. Do a lot of tricks on ramps. Avoid having to use Bullet Bills to catch up. Use lots of techniques such as wheelies, avoiding POW Blocks, etc. Do not fall off edges too much (one or two times is acceptable). If you get hit by many Spiny Shells and still win, this indicates that you are resistant and will probably have a high rank. A perfect 60 is required for a "Three Star" rank. A "Two Star" rank ranges from 55 to 60. A "One Star" rank is 53 to 60 with most or all of these requirements.
