Mario Kart 7 (3DS) Guide › Leaf Cup › DS DK Pass

Grand Prix

Dropping a Banana at the end of the coins here is a great move for slowing down your opponents or stopping them from collecting the coins! If they drift through the coins, they’ll probably run into a Banana!

When reaching this section of the track, grab one of the item boxes on the left side. You can get an item and jump off the small ram for a Mini-Turbo boost!

If you have a Mushroom, you can use it to take a shortcut over the snowy hill ahead, allowing you to get ahead of the competition!

Be very careful around the curves in this section of the track; one mistake and you can go over the edge. Also watch for opponents near the edge here. If you are using a heavier character, you can bump them off the cliff!
