Time Trial

Just off the starting line, the course bends to the right, then curves back to the left. Drift into the bend, then release the drift and start a new one in the opposite direction. Try to charge a Mini-Turbo through with each drift to gain speed as you enter the village.

As you cross the bridge, begin a new drift and follow the path at it curves to the right. You’ll notice a small dash panel along the far wall, but you’ll save a lot of time if you stay on the ground. Hold the drift until you charge a Super Mini-Turbo, then head toward for the coin located near the dash panel.

As you get into position, drift back to the left and grab the coin as you slide around the closest red stall. Use a second drift to swing by the yellow stall on your right. With proper timing, you should be able to Mini-Turbo as you change directions. Follow the wall on your right, and look for the upcoming covered walkway.

Head straight for the coins inside the walkway, then drift through them as the path curves to the right. Hold the drift as you pass over the dash panel. When you reach the next turn, release the drift for a Super Mini-Turbo.

Drift through the next turn, then boost into the straightaway. There are three urns at the center of the path, so take care to dodge them. Begin a slight drift to the right, and hold it as you slip past the urns. Maintain the drift through the upcoming turn, then Super Mini-Turbo through into the next straightaway.

Stay near the path’s left edge, and grab the two coins straight ahead of you. Continue up the ramp, over the dash panel, and across the rooftops. Each time you reach the top of a ramp, remember to hop for an extra boost.

Drive across the glide panel on the last rooftop, then hop up to barrel roll as your glider unfolds. Try to grab at least one of the coins ahead of you, but keep an eye out for flying Shy Guys.

When you land, drift along the path as it curves to the right. Watch for the two large urns at the next corner, then use a Mushroom to boost between them. As you return to the main path, release your drift to Super Mini-Turbo toward the end of the lap.

Tactics for Laps 2 and 3

Use the same basic tactics to complete the remaining laps. The urns don’t move during the Time Trial, but the flying Shy Guys certainly do! Adjust your racing line to avoid moving hazards, and try to collect any conveniently located coins.
