Hint: Fire bowling bombs backwards:
Press Down or Left Analog-stick Down while pressing Circle to fire bowling bombs backward.

Hint: Firing poison potions forward:
Press Up or Left Analog-stick Up while pressing Circle to fire poison potions forward.

Hint: Drive over your opponents:
You can do this by getting a turbo and while your car is still tilting backwards, go straight to an opponent. You can even jump off the opponent for an extra boost of speed! It may take a bit of practice to get the timing down just right.

Hint: Flatten your opponents:
You can do this by jumping off a ramp or ledge and landing on them. This will flatten your opponent for a period of time.

Hint: Have you ever got a TNT crate stuck on your head? Do you explode in 5 seconds? This can be prevented!
When you have a TNT crate on your head, just keep jumping! After about 10 jumps or so, the TNT crate will fall backwards!

Hint: Crash Cove shortcut:
Near the beginning of the track is a ramp with two fruit boxes at the end of it, just before a small lake. Stay to the right of the ramp and begin turning left toward the mountain once you pass the ramp. You will be driving through the lake. You will have to practice this, but it dips right before you would run into the mountain. As your head goes completely underwater, hold Jump. You will jump onto the shortcut and can pick up a box before jumping back down and rejoining the race near the bridge. You can begin your turn when you pass the single star on the ground just to the right of the ramp. You will be jumping onto the land that is connected to the bridge that you drive under which leads out to that boat to your right.

Hint: Dragon Mines shortcut:
About a quarter of the way through the race is a railroad track with coal cars on it that go to the right. Follow the coal cars into the tunnel in the side of the wall, then follow the railroad track until it appears at the middle section of the track. You will get run over by the coal cars, but you will still end up ahead.

Hint: Papu Pyramid shortcut:
In Papu's Pyramid, go to the part where steps appear. Go on the right side where the turbo is located. Hit it and immediately go left and jump onto the ledge. Follow it and you will jump right onto the bridge and get an apple box.

In Papu Pyramid, before you get to the turn before the stairs, there are two bars that have arrows pointing to the right. Go between them, but keep to the right and jump at the last second to land on a hidden ledge. Then, jump off it. If done correctly, you will land on the other shortcut, or be lined up for it.

There is a jump on the way to the hairpin turn by the finish line . If you time a jump perfectly, you can get across to the other side. This trick has a near 100% chance if done with Aku Aku/Uka Uka or a speed boost. Also, when you approach the other end of the track, release X and press Circle + Right to turn in the air so you do not fall off the other end.

Hint: Polar Pass shortcut:
There is a wall before the jump at Polar Pass. Enable the "Unlimited masks" code and use it before the wall to jump over it.

Hint: Sewer Speedway shortcut:
In Sewer Speedway, you can take a shortcut that will enable you to go faster and end up ahead of the pack. This shortcut can only be reached with a speed power-up. Go into the tunnels immediately after the first part. Stay on the left ledge and look above the right ledge. You will see a hole in the wall. Speed into it and follow the pathway.

Hint: Slide Coliseum shortcut:
There is a very sharp turn at Slide Coliseum. Get a Mask or Speedburst. Use the little hill as a ramp and jump over it. Drive straight and you will be at the end of the turn.

Hint: Tiger Temple shortcut:
About half way through the Tiger Temple track is a face in a wall on the left. Shoot a missile, bomb, poison potion (fired forwards) at the mouth of the face, or have an Aku Aku/Uka Uka. The mouth will open and you can drive straight through a shortcut.

Hint: Power slides:
Power slides are always good for any turn, but if L1 or R1 is held too long you will spin out and lose precious time.


Hint: Defeating bosses:
Do not stay directly behind a Boss to avoid getting hit by power-ups. A Boss cannot hit you if you are in front of him, so drive fast.
