Staff Ghosts
Staff Ghosts are special ghosts that can be unlocked in Time Trial mode by getting good times on each course. Similar to F-Zero GX, staff ghosts are the ghost data of the game's developers who can obviously play the game quite well, so beaing able to beat even one (if not all) of the Staff Ghosts is quite a feat. To unlock them you must do so one at a time. Race a course in time trial mode and if you come within about five to seven seconds of the actual Staff Ghost time (times are listed in the chart below) then that particualr ghost is unlocked and you can race against it in Time Trial.| Mushroom Cup | Time | Flower Cup | Time |
