Luigi Raceway is the first course you race on. It is a good place to practice driving to get ready for other races. It has no obstacles, which makes it very easy to race through. There is only one short tunnel along part of the course that narrows the track.
In the Grand Prix, there are three item locations on the track: the first is after the start but before the turn, the second is midway through the tunnel, and the third is at the end of the turn before the finish.
Shortcuts[edit]
'Shrooms[edit]
The best place to use Mushrooms (especially Turbo Mushrooms) is along the turns, which allow you to drive at maximum speed (even on the sand and grassy terrain). Using this technique makes cutting in front of other drivers becomes easy.
Hot Air Balloon[edit]
After the first lap, just a few yards ahead of the starting line, a hot air balloon will descend with an item box containing a Blue Shell.
