Mario Kart DS

In a ballon battle, have one ballon and get your last opponent to have one ballon also. Then, get item blocks until you get a bomb. Then hold L or B to have the bomb hanging off of the back of your kart and run into your opponent. You will both be blown into the air, but you will win.

To jump higher when you are going over a jump, press R. This requires some practice and precise timing.

During a ballon battle go to the Pipe Plaza. Get a fake item cube or banana. Go into one of the green pipes. As soon as you land, press B or L to release your fake item cube or banana. The next time someone goes through that pipe, they will hit the item.

While having a throwable item in your inventory, hold L or X to hold any throwable item behind you. This can protect you from oncoming opponent attacks from items that hit you from behind, such as red and green shells. You are also able to store another item in your inventory while holding your throwable item behind you.

In order to throw bananas farther, when you are about to throw it jump and shoot it and it goes about 2 times as far as usual.

Instead of holding Select, blow into the microphone.

If Ink gets on your kart drive over a speed ramp.It will be gone.

Win a Gold trophy in the Shell Cup and Banana Cup to unlock the Leaf Cup for that class.

On the DK Jungle Parkway, Royal Raceway, or Wario Stadium courses, use a lightning bolt just before someone reaches the jump. They should fall off the jump, costing them time. Do not use it when they are on the turbo pads because it will not affect them.

Win a Gold trophy in the Leaf Cup to unlock the Lightning Cup for that class.
