Introduction mksc_1000 ============================================================================= Mario Kart: Super Circuit is the latest game in the Mario Kart series. It features 20 new tracks and the 20 tracks from the original Super Mario Kart. Mario Kart: Super Circuit is one of the best games on the Game Boy Advance. This document only contains information for the extra tracks in Mario Kart: Super Circuit. This guide uses a "code location" system. This means that there are special key codes throughout this guide that can be used to navigate through the large amount of text quickly. The key code numbers for a desired section of this guide are located in the Table of Contents. To jump to an area of the guide quickly, simply use the find command (usually Ctrl + F) in Notepad or your web browser and enter mksc_#### (where #### is the location code). I did not invent this idea; it has been used on many other text-based gaming guides before. ------ Legend ------ This guide contains ASCII maps for every course in the game. Here is a legend so that you know what certain symbols mean. ____________________________ | # = Finish Line | | D = Dirt/Mud | | G = Grass | | W = Deep Water | | ? = Item Block | | J = Jump Plate | | Z = Zipper | | M = Mushroom Boost Spot | | T = Tree | | H = Thwomp | | P = Podoboo | | K = Crab | | U = Umbrella | | S = Mouser | | L = Lava | | E = Puddle | | N = Snowman | | I = Penguin | | Y = Icy Patch | | R = Piranha Plant | | C = Falling Rocks | | B = Boo | | A = Mechakoopa | | F = Falling Stars | | O = Storm Cloud | | V = Teepee | | @ = Shortcut Path | | $ = Shortcut Path | | & = Shortcut Path | | ! = Shortcut Path | | [ = Shortcut Path | | % = Shortcut Path | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ============================================================================= 2.

There are 50 coins that can be collected in this level.

After you hit the jump plate turn to the left side (driver's perspective) and you will fly over the gap and land on the platform near strategy tip #2. This is an excellent shortcut. You must boost near the location of strategy tip #1. If your kart is too close to the jump plate you will not attain enough speed from the mushroom to make it over the gap. 2) It is possible to make this shortcut without a mushroom. However, it is very difficult. If you have a star, drive towards the gap and hop with R to make it over. The extra speed of the star should give you enough velocity jump over the gap if you time it right. It is also possible to jump this gap without and items at all. Use Bowser, Wario or Donkey Kong. Those characters can attain speeds that allow you to make the gap. ================== d. Bowser Castle 1 mksc_2004 ================== This course is more challenging then the other courses in the Extra Mushroom Cup. There are a couple of areas on this track where you can attain a min- boost from a power-slide. There are 50 coins that can be collected in this level.

However, if you don't have a mushroom, collect the item. ================= d. Donut Plains 3 mksc_5004 ================= Donut Plains 3 is the most difficult course in the game.

Stay to the left (driver's perspective) so that you don't fall in the water. 2) This is one of the biggest shortcuts in the game. As you approach the jump plate use a mushroom. You use the mushroom when your kart is on the wooden bridge. As you hit the jump plate turn slightly to the left (driver's perspective). You should land just before the finish line. This shortcut will cut your lap time in half. 3) As you enter the zigzag, hug the corners of the hairpin turns.

Your kart will sink in the deep water. On the right (driver's perspective) of the backstretch is a solitary island that contains an item block. The left side (driver's perspective) is a little shorter but does not contain an item. More often then not, you will want to get the item. If you find yourself about to fall in deep water, you should attempt to hop over the pit. 2) This is a good location to use a mushroom boost. 3) Yet another good location to use a mushroom. ================= b. Ghost Valley 3 mksc_6002 ================= Ghost Valley 3 is a difficult course with a lot of tricky turns and pits. A total of 50 coins can be collected in this level.

About one second after you come out of the previous 90° turn, use your mushroom and approach the jump plate. Just before you hit the jumper, begin to turn you kart to the right (driver's perspective). Continue to turn to the right when your kart airborne. The momentum of the mushroom should launch your kart across the gap onto the track. As you land on the track, your momentum will most likely cause you to hit it and then fall over the edge. To prevent this from occurring, hit the breaks as you land. 2) This turn is a good place to power-slide and get a mini-boost. 3) A solitary item block is located here. One should get this item block every time. Also, one must be weary of the pit that is located just ahead of the jump plate. ================= c. Vanilla Lake 2 mksc_6003 ================= This is a very challenging course. They are ice blocks almost everywhere and plenty of deep water. There are however, several small shortcuts to help you out. A total of 50 coins can be collected in this level.

It will take quite a while to get through if you collide with the blocks. Fortunately, the blocks are placed in an organized manner and there are spaces where it is possible to fit your kart right between the barriers. 2) There are a lot of small islands in this area. It is possible to hop from island to island cutting across a large part of the lake for a nice shortcut. If you do not hop from island to island, you will be taking a longer and much slower lap. It should be noted that the two most northern islands (map perspective) are not practical for the island-hopping shortcut. 3) This area contains a patch of snow that will slow you down. It also contains a large scattered group of ice blocks that will slow you down. If you don't perform the island-hopping shortcut, you will encounter this area. =============== d. Rainbow Road mksc_6004 =============== Rainbow road is a challenging course that contains no barriers meaning that your kart can fall off the edge at any time in any location. A total of 50 coins can be collected in this level.

While it is possible to successfully pull off a power-slide, it is very difficult. 4) Here the path splits into two. The right side (driver's perspective) contains an item block while the left side (driver's perspective) contains eight coins. The turn into the homestretch is easier to make if the left side is taken. More often then not, you will want to take the right path. 5) The homestretch is the only place where it makes sense to use a mushroom. ============================================================================= 7.

After you hit the jump plate turn to the left side (driver's perspective) and you will fly over the gap and land on the platform near strategy tip #2. This is an excellent shortcut. You must boost near the location of strategy tip #1. If your kart is too close to the jump plate you will not attain enough speed from the mushroom to make it over the gap. 2) It is possible to make this shortcut without a mushroom. However, it is very difficult. If you have a star, drive towards the gap and hop with R to make it over. The extra speed of the star should give you enough velocity jump over the gap if you time it right. It is also possible to jump this gap without and items at all. Use Bowser, Wario or Donkey Kong. Those characters can attain speeds that allow you to make the gap. ================== d.

As you approach the jump plate use a mushroom. You use the mushroom when your kart is on the wooden bridge. As you hit the jump plate turn slightly to the left (driver's perspective). You should land just before the finish line. This shortcut will cut your lap time in half. ================= l.

About one second after you come out of the previous 90° turn, use your mushroom and approach the jump plate. Just before you hit the jumper, begin to turn you kart to the right (driver's perspective). Continue to turn to the right when your kart airborne. The momentum of the mushroom should launch your kart across the gap onto the track. As you land on the track, your momentum will most likely cause you to hit it and then fall over the edge. To prevent this from occurring, hit the breaks as you land. ================= m.

It is possible to hop from island to island cutting across a large part of the lake for a nice shortcut. If you do not hop from island to island, you will be taking a longer and much slower lap. It should be noted that the two most northern islands (map perspective) are not practical for the island-hopping shortcut. ============================================================================= 8.
