Banana peel recovery:
When a banana peel is run
over, immediately hold the brake for one second, then accelerate to avoid
skidding or losing a balloon in battle mode.
Drafting:
Align your kart behind the
next racer. Wisps of air will appear from the sides of your kart. The small
speed increase that your kart will gain should be enough to pass the racer
that is being followed.
Mini-turbo slide:
Hold R to slide around a
corner, and press the Analog-stick to steer in the direction of the turn,
then to the opposite direction. The smoke from your kart will change from
white to yellow if done correctly. Continue to hold R and repeat the steering
motion with the Analog-stick to change the smoke from yellow to red. Release
R once the smoke becomes red. The speed of your kart should increase for
a few seconds.
Quick restart:
After falling off a course,
watch as Lukita places your kart back on the track. Press A when your kart
is two or three tire widths from the track to immediately resume the race.
Mirrored courses:
Win the gold cup in the 150cc
class. After the Nintendo 64 is reset, the title screen will change to
confirm that mirrored courses are enabled. Enter the 150cc option under
GP mode to access the courses. When racing the mirrored Toads' Turnpike,
you will be going against the traffic.
Mario 64 castle:
Follow the yellow road to
the right of the big jump on the Royal Raceway course to reach the castle
from Mario 64.
