Mario Kart Wii/Special Cup

Dry Dry Ruins
Throughout the race, more of the pillars lining the track will fall over. Try not to get hit by them if you are in or close to first, and use them for trick jumps once they stop moving. Use a mushroom boost to take a major shortcut if you go left when you get to the bridge instead of crossing it. On the first lap, go right through the area with falling sand. On the second lap, you can choose whether to go through or not, but don't go through on the third lap unless you have something that will let you get across without being affected by the sand.

Shortcuts
At the beginning, look to your right to see a field of catuses. Drift into the field and hop over it.

Moonview Highway
If you stay in the centre of the track a all times, you will avoid all the cars and lorries. Try to hit the dash panels, as it saves precious time.

Bowser's Castle
A classic track which has been in every Mario Kart.

Shortcuts
Right after you pass the Mecha Bowser, go to the rightmost direction. You will see a ramp. Don't pass the ramp jump high in the air right when you drive on the ramp. When you get in the air hop into the wall and you will teleport into the area with the three Thwomps.

Rainbow Road
The Hardest course on the game, Rainbow Road is a challenging track with lots of corners. Most of the time there is no railing, which makes it a lot harder. Don't try drifting(Except when you auto-drift.) for long times around the corners, you just fall off! Also, the faster you go, the slower you go! (You'll fall off...)After the figure eight, use a mushroom to jump over the huge ditch. You can do it without a mushroom if you have enough speed. Also, use a mushroom to jump over one of the rings in the figure eight.
