1. Course Ghosts
****************
There are a total of 3 Course Ghosts in the game, Mario, Luigi, And Peach.
Accessing them is quite easy, beating them is a whole different story!
======
Luigi
======
To race the course ghost of Lugi, go to time trials and beat Luigi's Raceway
under 1 Minute, 52 Seconds. To race him, simply re-race Luigi's Raceway. You
will now see a course ghost of Luigi. I am unsure of what time you need to BEAT
him, but i can give you these tips:
At every moment possible, power slide, the individual boosts you get may not
seem like much, but if you can get around 20 power slides done in this race(like
i can) it will add up to a lot.
Also, use your mushrooms wisely, you only get 3, so find the best spot to use
them and use them there and only there!
Lastly, stay on the track, if you hit the wall once, or barely go in the sand,
or grass, there is very little chance of you beating him.
=====
Mario
=====
This has to be the hardest course ghost of all, to access mario beat mario's
raceway in under 1 minute, 30 seconds. To race him, simply re-race Mario's
Raceway. You will now see a course ghost of Mario. I am unsure of what time you
need to BEAT him, but i can give you these tips:
At every moment possible, power slide, the individual boosts you get may not
seem like much,
but it is possible to get around 30 power slides in on this course! that adds up
to a lot of time saved!
also use your mushrooms to cut accross the sand in the 2nd to last turn, this
will cut off at least 3 seconds if you do it right.
Follow these tips, and you should get a time of around 1 minute, 22 seconds!
good luck!
======
Peach
======
Ok, beat Royal Raceway under 2 minutes, 40 seconds to be able to race Peach, as
always simply re-race Royal Raceway. You will now see a course ghost of Peach.
Beating peach isn't that difficult, just power slide on every turn and use your
mushrooms to cut through the grass at the end of the course. That's all there is
to it!

2. Mushroom Cup
***************
===============
Luigi's Raceway
===============
The first course in the game, Luigi's raceway would probably be the most boring
track in the game if not for the course ghost feature. This one is pretty simple
to beat in GP mode, just stay on the track, and power slide every once in a
while. The hot air balloon contains a spiked shell if you can reach it, but i
wouldn't go for it. There aren't any real shortcuts on this level, just make
sure you use your items wisely. The best racer for this course is Yoshi because
he is fast, and can corner extremly well.
============
Moo Moo Farm
============
Beef Anyone? This course is really short and really fun, there are a lot of
bumps which make it awesome. To beat this course just get ahead ASAP, and
whatever you do, don't hit any of those moles that pop out of the ground. and
try not to get hypnotized by the mooing of the cows. Once again use Yoshi, he is
fast, and gets fast starts, turns well, handles the bumps well, and is small so
he can easily fit through the posts at the end!
==================
Koopa Troopa Beach
==================
Finally, a nice relaxing day at the beach! Plus, we finally have a track with a
shortcut in it! This is a medium-sized course, an with the right tecniques can
be mastered quickly! First of all, stay as close to the land as possible, the
tide can sweep you away! and at the end watch out for crabs! OK, if you don't
get a mushroom, go to the right of the archway, it's a shortcut, there are crabs
there, watch out! if you DO get a mushroom, go left through the archway and up
the last crap, fire your mushroom and you will shoot into the cave, giving you a
10 second advantage! This course should be a piece of cake now! For this race,
the best racer is either Toad or Yoshi!
===============
Kalimari Desert
===============
This course is well...boring! anyway here are my tips for this so-called
racetrack:
If you are in any place other than 1rst, and you have a red shell. fire it eevn
if no one is around you! it will hit someone...eventully! as always power slide
when possible, and at all costs avoid that train! that's about all there is to
this course, not very fun, not too challenging. piece of cake! oh yah and you
should use Toad or Yoshi on this course, they both do well here!
