Air Tricks
To do tricks in the air all you have to do is find a ramp, go on it, and right when you go off of the ramp turn the Wii wheel both ways. This might take several trys.

Pop A Wheelie!
To pop a wheelie do any race as long as you can use a bike. Choose your character and then choose a bike, not a cart. When you are driving on the track lay the Wii Wheel flat in your hands, then jerk it into a straight up position while pressing the A button. If you do it right you should do a Wii Wheelie!

Starting Boost
To get the starting boost on a level, don't try timing it perfectly, it will take you forever. Instead, right when the two on the countdown starts to fade away hold down the 2 button and don't let go. You should always get the boost if you do that.

Same Character
You can be the same character in 2-4 player by one person picking that character, than click back and move off the character. Everyone else do the same thing. Then when everyone has done that, go back on screen and go back to pick the character again. All the players will be on one character. While playing as the same character, funny things will happens. They won't harm or change the gameplay, though.

2-4 Players Being The Same Characters
This cheat works for everybody but your Miis. Go to the character selection screen and have a player( doesn't matter which one)select his/her character. Have that player get off the character and move off the character. Repeat the process until the last player deselects that character( Don't have the last player move off of the character). Player 1 will now go back to the SOLO and TEAM RACE/BATTLE and go back to the CHARACTER SELECTION screen. All players who did the process will now be on the same character( If a player moves off the character, you will have to repeat the process). Have fun being a duplicate!!!!!!

Short Cut In Delfino Square
In Delfino Square, right before the stone bridge, on the left there is another path with a little jump. There will be a little bit of grass so you need a mushroom (or golden mushroom, triple mushroom, missile, anything that accelerates you). Use your mushroom or other item before the jump and you will jump to the wood bridge and you can come back up to the road from that bridge. (If you have a golden mushroom, you can maybe come back to the road from the jump.)

Shortcut For Moo Moo Meadows
This requires a mushroom. Where the Moo Moos gather, on the last turn to the blue ramp, you can use a mushroom to cut across the grass and saves you time by not crashing into Moo Moos. Recommended for Time trials.

Shortcut In N64 Bowser Castle
In this race, close to the end at the last jump, you can ride on the little side and save a lot of time on time trial and pass some persons on races online or computers in single. This takes a lot of practice so practice now!!!!!

Shortcut In GCN DK Mountain
To really surprise your foes, read this. When you come down from the mountain, make your right-hand turn where the boulders start to come down. Make a left to a huge gap in the center. This is where you surprise 'em. Stay as close to the left wall as possible. If you have your drift on Manual, drift sharply so it looks like you committed suicide, but you won't. If you just missed hitting the wooden fence( without touching it), then you should land where the item boxes are, plus saving you time, and getting away from any "bumper car" action. This also works in time trial as well.

To escape the POW block you have to bust a trick when it pops you into the air. You will know if it works when blue shock waves appear below you.

About the Star Power-Up
This is the greatest power-up for several reasons. 1. If you have a star and a shell comes after you (spiny (blue), green, or red) you can use your star right before it hits you and it doesn't effect you! (This works with the POW block also) 2. They give you a little speed boost 3. You can plow people over 4. And finally it's just totally awesome! This Power-up is better than bullet bill!

Shortcut In Coconut Mall

Tricks In DK Summit
This can be done only by bikes. When you get to the deep snow on the course, go up the side wall (either side works). If you do this correctly, you should see your character do a flip or spin.

Avoid POW With Kart
Do you love karts, but just hate the POW Block and can't escape it? Here's the solution! All you have to do is Jump! You must have "Manual Drift" on, obviously. Then, once it is about to hit you, hop! You will only spin once.

Another Way To Avoid The POW Block
Another way to avoid the pow block, in any vehicle, and any drift mode, just shake the wii remote right as it pows you. You should get little waves under you and you'll drop items, but it's worth it.

On the other side of the river, there is a dock. You will need to use the speed boost to ramp onto the dock. It takes aim, but practice will help!

Star Rank Requirements
The following are requirements to get a "One Star", "Two Star", or "Three Star" rank: Get a final score of 53 or better. Lead most of the laps. Stay in first place for a good period of time. Do a lot of tricks on ramps. Avoid having to use Bullet Bills to catch up. Use lots of techniques such as wheelies, avoiding POW Blocks, etc. Do not fall off edges too much (one or two times is acceptable). If you get hit by many Spiny Shells and still win, this indicates that you are resistant and will probably have a high rank. A perfect 60 is required for a "Three Star" rank. A "Two Star" rank ranges from 55 to 60. A "One Star" rank is 53 to 60 with most or all of these requirements.

Certain Car With Your Mii
In order to get a specific car for you Mii, it all depends on your height and definitely your thickness. If you want a car from the top two rows of characters (toad, baby mario, etc.) then you have to change your height and thickness from the Mii Channel to small. If you want a car from the middle two rows of characters (yoshi, mario, etc. ) then change your height and thickness to the middle. If you want a car from the last two rows of characters (rosalina, wario, etc) then you have to change your heigth and thickness to big and tall. But all the cars are going to be light blue and white.
