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 guide explains the shortcuts that can be found in every course in the game. 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 | ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ ============================================================================= 2.

Boost off it with a mushroom and then jump with the R button. If you did it just right you will go over the wall and get a nice shortcut. This is an extremely difficult shortcut to get. Only the best Mario Kart players will be able to get this shortcut consistently. 2) Here there is a little path of shallow water. Drive through it to get a shortcut. ================ d.

It will probably take some time to master this shortcut. 2) If you have a mushroom boost before the path splits in two. You will bounce off the jump plate and get a nice shortcut. 3) Go left (driver's perspective) here to get a small shortcut. ============== f.

Angle your kart so that you are facing the right (driver's perspective) as you approach the big jump. Use a mushroom to hit the jump at a high speed. Once you hit the jump turn sharply right. It done correctly, you will bounce off a group of jump plates and get an awesome shortcut. 2) If you don't have a mushroom you can get another shortcut here. As you go over the jump, turn left (driver's perspective) and bounce off the group of jump plates. 3) Use a mushroom here to cut across the dirt and get a shortcut. ============= g.

The first one is not a very good shortcut. Simply hit the jump plate near the question block. You'll get the item and a little shortcut. Second, if your character is invincible, you can drive over the jump plate that is next to the jump plate that has a question mark block over it. The extra speed of invincibility will allow you to make the jump. The final shortcut is the most difficult to pull off. Use a mushroom to hit the jump plate on the right (drivers perspective) you will be able to reach the road that is located across the bridge. To eliminate confusion, the point on the map that you should be able to reach is listed as point "+." 3) Yes, another shortcut awaits. This time, hop on the small cloud island and then hop to the road again. This is a good shortcut that is easy to pull-off. There is however, a downside. If you take this shortcut you will miss the item blocks that are on the bridge. ===================== h. Cheep-Cheep Island mksc_2008 ===================== ...............

Use a mushroom to get an awesome jump off of the jump plate land on one of the two small wooden platforms that are located in the water. Hop off of the platform you landed on to reach the wooden bridge. ============ i.

You will also get an item on this shortcut. 2) After the 180° turn, turn sharply right (driver's perspective) and you will find a path. It is a little shorter then the regular path but you will miss an item. 3) While using a mushroom, you can hit the jump plate and get over the wall for a small shortcut. ============== j.

Hit the first zipper and then hit the row of zippers. Once you hit the jump plate turn right (driver's perspective) and you will land on the path that is past the second jump. You must hit both the solitary zipper and the row of zippers to get enough speed to make the jump. =============== k.

To the left (driver's perspective), behind the piranha plant there is a jump plate. Hit it at the right angle to jump across the river for a nice shortcut. This shortcut will save you a lot of time. ================ l.

You will need to be moving at an incredibly high speed. This shortcut is easier to attain if you are using one of the heavy weights. 3) Yes there is another boosting shortcut here. This one is easier to attain then the one in strategy tip number 2. With the assistance of a mushroom, you should be able to boost across to the area where the falling rocks are located. If possible, this shortcut should be done each lap in the time trials. 4) This is where you can attain a nice shortcut. As you come out of the 180° hairpin, keep to the right (driver's perspective) and hit the zipper that is located before the jump. When you hit the jump, you'll go higher and father then usual. Use the extra distance and jump right (driver's perspective) and bounce off the jump plates that are located to the right (driver's perspective) of the barrier. This is a huge shortcut. ============== m.

Overall, I would recommend that you avoid taking this bridge. Also, here you will encounter the first Boo on this course. If a Boo catches you, you'll slow down and lose coins. 2) Here you can take one of three shortcuts. None of these shortcuts are extremely easy. I'll list them in increasing difficulty: Shortcut #1 - Use a mushroom and hit the jump plate located to the left (driver's perspective). When you hit the jumper, veer left (driver's perspective) and land on the partially invisible bridge. If you have a lot of speed as you use your mushroom, you might even jump over the partially invisible bridge. Shortcut #2 - Use a mushroom and hit the jump plate located on the right (driver's perspective). When you hit the jumper, veer right (driver's perspective) and land on the little island. Once on the island you will hit a zipper and then another jump plate. You will then make it across the gap for a nice shortcut. When using a mushroom for this shortcut, you must use it when you are close to the first jump plate. If you are too far from the jump plate, you'll boost over the island. Shortcut #3 - This is the big one. First you must perform a right power- slide into the jump plate located on the right (driver's perspective). Once your kart has turned right be 90°, boost into the previously specified jump plate. You'll hop into the area where a "+" is located. This shortcut is one of the most difficult ones to attain in the game. 3) The bridge here is partially invisible, you should use it if you don't have a mushroom that can be used to get one if the previous three shortcuts. 4) You guessed it, another partially invisible bridge. You should always attempt to use this bridge. When exiting, power-slide into the zipper that is near by. =============== n.

As you are boosting, you will hit the jump plate and go over the big gap. 2) Another mushroom boost location. Power-slide to the right (driver's perspective) and boost into the jump plate so that you can land across the gap. This is a big shortcut but it is not bigger then the one in shortcut tip #1. 3) This is another area where you can get a shortcut. To get this shortcut you must be in time trial mode and have at least 2 mushrooms available. First you must perform the shortcut on shortcut tip #1. Then you must drive backwards through the course and boost across the gap at shortcut tip #2. This shortcut is good for setting lap records. 4) You can hop this gap if you are going relatively fast. 5) You can hop this gap too if you are going relatively fast. 6) When you come out of the straightaway packed with zippers, turn to the right (driver's perspective). You can use your speed to jump across the gap for a nice shortcut. ============================================================================= 3.

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.

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. ============================================================================= 4.
