Mario Kart Super Circuit
Cheat Codes/Hints
Another Shortcut on Rainbow Road
After the S-turn, go on the narrow strip that has a lot of turbo pads. When you are off, go straight, and when you are in the air turn sharply. If you have bounced , or have landed on a turbo pad, you have just cut off a big turn. This is very hard to do.
Avoid bananas
Bananas and other obstacles can be a pain, espcially in Mario GP. However, if you press B just after you go over one, instead of slipping, a note appears above you. This indicates you've dodged the banana/obstacle.
Barrier
When you have a Shell (Any Item) Hold it behind your kart, this will protect you against:
- Incoming Shells
- Other Drivers, Trying to Bump you from behind.
Very handy in Link mode.
Boost From Starting Line
A common move in all Mario Kart games is the ability to boost right from the starting line. This is done the same way in the GBA version of the game. To do it, you need to press the accelerator as soon as the green light comes on. You need perfect timing to do it, but if you do you'll boost ahead of the other racers right at the start.
Clear memory
If you would like to start over, press and hold L, R, A, B, X, and Y at the same time. Only do this if you want to lose ALL of your information, because it is not retreivable. If you want to clear one run, you wait until it says Saving... Don't Press Power. Obvie, you press power.
Dusk Startup Screen
To turn the Startup srceen orange get a gold cup in every Super Circuit cup in 50, 100 and 150cc.
Easy practice
If you want practice on the course without having to fight other characters, go to the Trial Run. You can pick any course that you have unlocked. Choose this before playing so that you have the feel of the land.
Hidden Jump
On the track Snow Land, wait until you've passed three right turns, and one hairpin left before you continue. Then, you will see a ? box with a red and yellow arrow sign below it, like this:
^^^^^^ run over the sign, and continue going straight, even as the road turns right. Then you will hit a bump, and fly over the wall, and skip an entire loop.
Honk Your Horn
When you press select at character selection screen or during a race you can hear a horn. Each character has individual sounds.
New Stary Screen
Get a '3 stars' rank on every Super Circuit cup in every cc class and the opening screen will have a stary sky and new music.
