Time Trial

After landing from your glide, immediately drift to the left and stay as close as possible to the wall. Keep holding this until you see a small ramp with four arrows on it. Release the drift for a Mini-Turbo boost and hop over the ramp for an extra speed boost.

Once you land from the ramp, start a drift to the left. When you have a spark for a Mini-Turbo boost, release it and begin a drift to the right. Continue holding this around the corner until you see red sparks from your tires. Release the drift and collect some of the coins ahead. As soon as you reach the section of coins, begin another drift to the left around the next corner.

The dash panel ahead has five coins floating in front of it. Attempt to grab a coin each lap if you don’t have the maximum ten.

Upon reaching this turn, start a drift to the right and continue holding it until you reach the next straight portion of the track. You’ll want to stay close to the inner section of the track, but feel free to grab the five coins lined up on the center portion.

If you are fast enough on your time, you can get ahead of the giant pinball that rolls down the track. If you end up behind it, take care not to run into it or you will topple over!

When you reach this section of the track, start a drift to the left and continue holding it around each turn. Release the drift for a Mini-Turbo boost once you reach the golden floor portion of the track.

Take care when navigating this section of the track; there are bumpers that can knock you around, pinballs that can topple you, and flippers that can push you back. When reaching the end of this portion of track, drive over the arrows labeled on the ground to avoid being hit by the flippers.

Begin a drift to the left when you drive onto the purple floor. Have your drift travel through the two coins ahead of you, and continue to hold the drift and drive through the next two coins as well. This brings you to the finish line.

Tactics for Laps 2 and 3

Use the same tactics to complete the remaining laps, but watch out for rolling pinballs! Adjust your racing line as needed.
