Super Mario Kart/Choco Island

Choco Island 1

 * Direction:Counter-clockwise

 * Shortcuts: Very little shortcut space, the biggest cutoff is right before the finish line, cut across the mud with a mushroom, star or feather.

Choco Island 2

 * Direction: Clockwise
 * Hazards: Nothing here, kind of like Choco Island 1, just mud
 * Items: Right after the finish line
 * Shortcuts: At the beginning, instead of turning to the right, go straight, also if you have a light character, hop on the big mud patch and you won't slow down that much.
