MISSION 2-1
Crash into all 10 wooden crates and destroy
every one! All you have to do is drive into
every crate and break them before the time limit
runs out. The first one is directly in front of
you. The second is just on the left, and the
third on the right. Ahead of that there is a
box just before the water. After hitting that
one drive down the dock and hit the one at the
end, then the sixth one on the way back. Turn
around at the top and hit the three boxes in a
row. The last one is located across the bridge.
Turn right and go off-course to locate the tenth
crate.
MISSION 2-2
Collect all 10 coins! This one is a little bit
tricky for one reason. When the mission begins
hold the B button rather than the accelerator to
go into reverse. Keep reversing until you hear
the sound of a coin, they hid one behind the
finish line at the start. After that you can
simply drive forward and get the other nine
right in the middle of the track. Doing it this
way should make it easy to get a three star
ranking.
MISSION 2-3
Drive through all 5 numbered gates in order!
The first gate is quite simply, it's just in the
middle of the track. There's a trick for the
second gate. It's hidden in the middle of the
shortcut, but lucky for you there is a Mushroom
just before it which will allow you to speed
through the gate and avoid being slowed by the
grass. There are also Mushrooms in front of
gates four and five just to help you get a
better ranking if you need them.
MISSION 2-4
Destroy all 5 item boxes! This is a fun mission
where you must chase down a moving row of five
item boxes. Use Drift Boost turns in order to
help you catch the first one. After you nab it
you'll get a Mushroom. Use the Mushroom to help
you catch up with the next one, and the one
after that over and over until you hit the one
at the front and complete the mission.
MISSION 2-5
Collect all 20 coins! Nothing too special at
all about this mission, no hidden coins behind
the starting line or anything. You can try
drifting around the large curve to the right to
save time, however it's difficult to get all the
coins that way. The most important thing you
need to do for this mission is to hit the jump
in the dead centre moving completely straight.
Also avoid hitting the hop button when going off
of it otherwise you'll miss the coin in mid-air.
MISSION 2-6
Use Bomb-ombs to destroy all 5 Pokeys! The
trick to doing this one well (and quickly) is to
actually take your time with it. At no point
should you be throwing the bombs, always drop
them beside the Pokeys by holding down on the
D-Pad to set them behind you as you drive by.
Grab item boxes and drop bombs beside each of
the five Pokeys to complete the mission.
MISSION 2-7
Drive through all 10 numbered gates in order!
This mission can get really annoying really
quickly because you're presented with multiple
gates but only one of them being the correct
one. Here's how to do it properly. Boost out
from the starting line and through the first
gate. Ignore the next gate you see, that's
number eight. Soon you'll see two gates, take
the one on the left and then the one on the
right at the next two and then gate number four
immediately after. When you come to the Booster
Pads you can save time by drifting through them
but do your best to stay in the middle where
you'll pass through gate number five. On the
way back it's a lot easier because the red gates
are the ones you've already gone through, so
don't go through them. Also make sure you pass
through gate number eight near the beginning
that you skipped the first time. Number nine
comes just before the second wave of Booster
Pads. Gate number ten is actually located on
the area to the right of all the Boosters, the
path above them. You should be able to see it
if you look at your map.
MISSION 2-8
Perform six power-slide turbo boosts in 3 laps!
Since there are two turns in this course and
three laps that means doing a Drift Boost turn
on every single corner throughout the entire
race. It's easier than it sounds however, try
to cut the corner as close as you can and
inevitably you'll get a higher ranking with less
time. Each item box in this level contains a
star which will speed you up. Helps primarily
with ranking but just remember to Drift Boost on
every single turn.
Boss Stage
Fighting this boss can be pretty fun, but it's
by no means easy. You might recognize this boss
(as you may have with the one from the last
mission) as a boss from Super Mario 64. The
eyes on the palms of his hands open periodically
and when they do, it's your responsibility to
hit them with a Green Shell. Every item box in
this area has a Green Shell inside so there's
no worries there. The difficulty comes in
actually aiming and timing your shots to hit the
palm while the eyes are open and not closed.
You also have to make sure you hit right in the
centre. The battle gets a little bit more
difficult with each hit. For the third hit the
palms will be moving up and down as well as left
and right, the window for a perfect shot is not
very big so take it when you get it.
