Effect: DK's Jungle Parkway Shortcut:
Two Shortcuts for this track!
When:
During DK's Jungle Parkway.
How:
At the first gated "U'' turn on the track, try to gain a little speed. Then on the power ramp, stick right (or left if racing on the "reverse" track). Finally, right off the jump, turn away from the landing zone area and a little bit less of half the short straightaway. You will save a few seconds with this shortcut.
Before the end of the lap you should be driving over a bridge into a cave. While in the cave you should see three item boxes in a row. Turn your Kart until you drive through all three of them, then hold Left (or Right for mirrored courses). If done correctly, you should drive right up the hill and cut about five to seven seconds off your time.

If you get a mushroom, keep it until you get to the second bridge. Use it to hit the ramp ahead, aiming to land to the left of the starting line. It's tough but it works!

Effect: Two easy short-cuts on Yoshi Valley
When:
At the big loop once outside the maze. And near the finish line.
How:
The first is a valuable short-cut which can help you make up for lost time in the twisted maze. Once you emerge from the maze, and are approaching the giant loop, which has cliffs on either side, watch the fencing on either side of you, and stay near the right-hand side. Be prepared to make a sharp turn to the left. As soon and the fencing comes to an end, while keeping your foot on the acceleration, slam on the breaks and turn hard to the left. Let go of the breaks before you have completeld the turn, as you will still need some speed to make the jump. The loop ahead has come back around, and passed right next to the path you are on, so if your timing and speed is right, hit R to jump just as you are leaving the path, and you will land on the other path, having removed the big loop from the equation.
The second short-cut can be used if you have a Triple-Mushroom. After crossing the final bridge, instead of heading up the path to the finish line, turn into the grass on the left, and keep near the fence. Use the first mushroom just as you leave the path. Use the other two mushrooms, each after the previous one is dying. Although you are far to the left of the finish line, it will count every time, and you will end up at the gate entrance to the maze again, eliminating more track and time from your race.

Effect: Beat DK's Jungle in under 1 minute!
<>
When:
Beginning of each lap.
How:
Turn around as soon as the race begins and go into the cave. Turn back around towards the finish line once you are under the 3rd torch on the wall. Look at the corner at the left side of the cave's exit. It is made by the grassy hill outside, and the wall of the cave inside. The very edge of the track comes to meet this corner. Get up to full speed, aim your kart at this corner, and hit R to jump into it (you want to jump a little to the left, away from the finish line, with your right tire, not the center of the kart, going through the corner). If your positioning is right, you will go through a little wall, and behind the far left wall (the one right to your left as you first enter the cave from the Bridge Entrance). But be careful, you don't want to turn too far to the left as you jump, or you'll hit the far left wall, and land back in the cave, missing the secret. If you go behing the wall, you will then fall down for a long ways and land into some mirky-green water far below the course.
The Lakitu will pick you up and put you in one of three places: (1) inside the cave, down near the bridge entrance, thus granting you 3/4 of the lap. (2) behind the finish line just at the exit of the cave (granting you nothing). (3) at the first turn in the course, up past the start line (granting you nothing).
You want to be put at (1) every time. If you are put at (2) or (3), it is because you weren't vearing far enough to the left, away from the finish line. Once at (1), go through the cave, and repeat the jump. The second time, you will complete lap 1 as you are falling toward the water. Once you're at (1) on your final lap, you do not want to do the jump again, just go through the cave exit, and cross the finish line. If done correctly this will give you the following aproximate lap times: 25, 15, 15.

Effect: A Small Tip
When:
See below!
How:
In a Mario GP Race, never be Yoshi. Bowser, because he can knock them out of the way at the beginning of the race. If your Yoshi, and you hit someone, you'll just go whirring! Aren't I smart...?
