CHOCCO MOUNTAIN
| Short-cuts the following was submitted by: 1. Drive through Choco Mountain as usual until you come to the part where you can see the overpass on your left. In the time trial mode you can see a guardrail to your left. Go to the part just before it starts going downhill and then turn 90 degrees to your left. Drive into the wall and press the R button to jump at about the moment you hit it, and you will jump right over the wall! You will not only save some precious seconds but also avoid the risk of becoming a smear on the road by one of those boulders. 2. If you have fast fingers or a turbo controller, you may want to try this alternative instead of jumping over the guardrail. After completing seven-sixteenths of a lap, go immediately to the left and "jump-scale" the mountain. By this I mean to rapidly jump with R button while driving into the mountain. If you do this in the right place, you will completely clear the mountain, and your kart will flip for a few seconds and land just behind the three hills immediately behind the finish line. This shortcut can get you to the finish line just as quickly as the one where you jump over the guardrail. 3. This shortcut is a more difficult alternative, but it is the best shortcut of the 4 that I have found in this course. Just before you reach the big hill prior to the overpass area, go directly into the wall on your left. Drive into it at full speed and jump as you hit it. If you do this in the right place, you will clear the wall and land in the same area as in shortcut #2. This will save you at least a few more seconds per lap than the previous two. 4. Last and certainly least is one that is loosely inspired by my Toad's Turnpike shortcut, but this one isn't as effective. At the very beginning of the course, just drive about one kart length forward from the start line and drive into the wall on your left with the aid of a mushroom. Jump with the R button as you hit it, and you might land on top of the mountain. If you do it properly, Lakitu will pick you up and place you right at the tunnel. This works pretty well in the 150cc, especially if you have a Gold Mushroom, but I'm not sure if it works in Time Trial mode. The nice thing about it though is that you can use it in conjunction with any one of the three previous shortcuts to really smoke the competition. |
| VS/GP On 100cc and 150cc versions of this track there are no gaurd rails to prevent you from falling off the track. After going around a large "U" shaped turn you will be on a ledge that has a gradual turn on it to the right. On the left side there should be a slight drop onto another part of the track, you can place a banana peel here to make the other players slide back onto the other part of the track causing them to lose about a quarter of a lap. Just remember where you placed the peels when you come back around the track :) |
| General Info If you get hit by the falling rocks you will be flattened. |
