Immediately after doing a rocket start from the start line, drift to the left. When the track turns to the right, immediately drift through the two pipes. Do a Mini-Turbo boost as you release your drift and begin drifting to the left around the next bend.
Hold your drift from the previous turn until you see a ramp off the main track. Release your drift for a Mini-Turbo boost as soon as you are lined up with the ramp. As you enter the dirt, use one of your Mushrooms for a speed boost to get you over the ramp.
After landing your jump from the ramp, immediately drift to the left and collect the three coins along the track. Release your drift for a Mini-Turbo boost and begin drifting to the right. Collect the three coins along the second turn as well.
Begin a drift to the right as you approach this corner. Keep holding the drift and position your kart between the two pipes and the yellow portion of the track edge. Release your drift just before you hit the dirt to gain enough speed to make it through. You’ll slow down slightly, but it is still faster than drifting around the entire bend in the road.
As you approach the glide panel, try to line yourself up so you drive over the left portion of it. Hop as you go over the glide panel for an extra speed boost.
Once you land from gliding, start a drift to the left to pass through the pipes on the road. Release the drift for a Mini-Turbo boost after you finish the turn and head toward the finish line. If you are short on coins, you can widen your drift for an additional three coins here.
Tactics for Laps 2 and 3
Use the same tactics to complete the remaining laps. After you collect 10 coins, consider adjusting your racing line; you can save a little time by taking each corner a bit tighter.
