Shortcuts & Track Hints
By: Wes Day (wesday@saa.net) via N64CC

CRYSTAL LAKE - Right after the big jump, you will see a house with a ramp beside it straight ahead.
Go off the course and hit the ramp, and you will find a shorter route than the normal one.

CRYSTAL PEAK - Right after coming out of the tunnel, you will turn right. You will then see two
different pathes. Hit the right one. Be sure that after coming out of the tunnel you make the right turn
pretty sharp, or you may not be able to turn in time to hit the right path. The right path is much shorter and
you will bupass some tough obstacles.

OLDEN FOREST - There aren't really any shortcuts here, but at the two forks be sure to go left both
times, for a shorter path.

MOUNTAIN VILLAGE - Inside the cave may seem like a maze, but stick to the right side and you will
find your way through much easier.
 
 

Fast Start
By: Wes Day (wesday@saa.net) via N64CC

Normally when starting a race in 1080, you will start out slow. During the countdown right before you
start (3-2-1), wait until the 1 disappears and press Up on the Control Stick. This will cause you to lunge
forward and give you a much faster start. It may take a bit of practice though to get your timing perfect.
