Racing tips

  • Take the Dash Panel ramp in the middle of the course for a free speed boost.
  • Stay out of the deep water; it is out of bounds and Lakitu will have to fish you out.
  • Crabs, palm trees and Cheep Cheeps all knock you off line, so pick a clean path through the winding sand section.
