Double Star Ranking

Spin Turn

Shoot Red/Green Shells Behind You
No good racer in first place can win without this hint! If you get a single green shell hold left and down to shoot it behind you. This is the same with the Red shell. It does not work for multiple shells. If you are racing in a cup, and if you get a red shell while your in first place, you can shoot it behind you a couple seconds before the finish line on the last lap. This probably will mess up the character that is in second place resulting in a lower score for him because the red shell will home on him.

Backup!
Sometimes you may end up head on in front of a wall or slowed down right in front of a crucial jump. Press B and Down to go into reverse.

Banana Throw

Sky Garden Trick
After a couple of turns at the beginning there will be a small item box that is only accessible by a small jump. If you get a mushroom, use it and go off that jump. You should land on the track way ahead. I went from last to first!

Stop The Spinout
If you happen to hit a banana or other obstacle that makes you spin out, press b right after you hit it. It takes practise but is not hard to master. You will hear a sound effect and see a musical note above the character's head if your successful.

Cheese Land Mouse
Start the Cheese Land race in either eight place or on a quick run. A mouse will walk over right next to you and check you out before the start- off. It's pretty funny.

Crush Your Character
Get a fourth or worse OVERALL ranking. When the ending movie comes up, the stand will fall on and squash your character. It will then show the character in it's window crying or throwing a fit. It is quite hilarious and worth the trouble.

Triple Green Shells
With these shells you can try to run into other players, shoot obstacles, or the hardest, try to shoot down others with them.

Coins
Don't think the coins are useless! Collect these coins and you'll increase your top speed.If you run out and hit a player you will spin out. They will also add to your ranking at the end of a cup. The amount of coins you receive at the begginning depends on your spot in the lineup. If you are in the back you will receive more coins, etc.

Cheese Land Shortcut
At the first jump, use it to jump over the right wall. It's a decent shortcut.

Cheap Cheap Island Shortcut
After the fifth bridge if you look to your right, you will see a small jump and two jumps in the middle of the water straight ahead. Use a mushroom straight on the jump and if you stay in the line, you will be on the other side and have skipped a substantial amount of the course.

Turbo
In the levels that you can fall off, push A about halfway down the screen when Laikitu drops you back on the track if you fall off. You will get a turbo boost.

Rainbow Road Shortcuts
I think these are the funnest shortcuts in the game. First: When your at the stretch that has the bouncing stars, use a mushroom near the beginning of that stretch going directly left. Make sure you get enough speed and you probably won't have to turn while in air. Second: Use the stetch of "rippers" that looks like it is not connected to the track to the left. Make sure you don't bounce on the sides. As soon as you get on the main track, make a hard right turn and still turn some while in the air and you should be able to land on another "ripper". Do not try this if you do not get enough speed.

Spiny Shells
You can lay Spiny Shells behind you by holding L and down. It will sit like a bomb and home on someone when they come buy.

Shoot Shell After Completing Race
Before you complete a race, grab a single shell of any kind and hold it behind you by holding the L button before and after you cross the finish line. Any time after that you can let go of the L button and watch yourself shoot the shell.

Bumpin Crash

Donuts
On any track press A and B at the same time then turn left or right (don't try it on ones that you can fall off the edge or you willfall off the edge) and you will start doing donuts.

Stupid, Pointless, Good For Nothing Fun
When selecting you character, press L or R and your character will shoot and jump. You can't select a character before trying this or it wont work.

Short Cuts
Choco Island 2(SNES): Near the beginning there is a break in the wall to your left use a mushroom to go through it. Snow Land: On the third turn there is an opening in the wall. Try not to hit the wall. Riverside Park: After you go off the ramp over the water about halfway through the turn there is some shallow water you can drive across on. Mario Circuit 4(SNES): Near the end there is a break in the wall to your right. It works better to take this short cut witha mushroom. Broken Pier: There is a place near the beginning on the left with no wall and there is an invisible bridge you can drive across on.

Driving Across A Stream
In Mario Kart Super Circuit in the level so called Riverside Park after the first big turn there is little dock. Go to that dock and there will be anouther. try to get over the water in between. You should save around eight seconds. P.S. It takes lots of practice and do I mean alought.

On the character select screen, if you push select before picking your character, you can hear thier horn. Note: Each character has a different horn sound, so try them all!

Waluigi
Yes indeed, there is a secret character in Super Circuit. Not the easiest to get, but it exists. To get Waluigi, you have to beat the entire game. That means beating every single race with a gold cup (including specials and secret tracks) and doing it with all cc's, 50cc and on. As I said, not easy, but possible.

Characters Become Better
Yes this is true. The more you use a character the better they become. You might not notice it at first but over time they might become better. For example Bowser's handling might become much better over time.
