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
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.
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.
Mystery Caves shortcut:
There is a shortcut that can be used with a mask. Immediately following the
first sandtrap/jump area, turn left with a mask activated. This leads
through a stalagmite-stalactite area that shortcuts a long curve.
Oxide Station shortcut:
There are three turbo pads after the first tunnel. After the third pad, turn
left and jump over wall to land on the lower of the two tracks for a huge
shortcut. Note: You cannot accomplish this with super turbo pads, as you
will go too far.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
