Kalimari Desert

Burning Rubber:Basic Tips to Gain Speed

1. Use your mushrooms effectively. Turboing across the desert can put you ahead more times then not, if you know the lay of the land:

   • Right after the start line. Turboing through the desert can get you across the first set of tracks before any pesky trains show up.

   • In between the first and second train crossings. Rocket straight across the desert instead of sliding your way around the turn.

   • After the second crossing. There is a large stretch of track that can be bypassed with a super mushroom.

   • Before the finish line. Don't waste your time following the winding road...take a straight line path via a mushroom from the ending of the straight part of the track to the finish.

Confirmed Tricks: How to Jump, Slide, and Skid Your Way to Victory

• This trick requires a star. At the second rail crossing, turn left and follow the tracks until you reach the tunnel (see red dots above). As you enter the tunnel, immediately activate the star, and at some point in the tunnel, your lap counter should increase by one (note: unfortunately, this does not work on 3rd lap.)

• This trick requires red shells, preferably three.At the first train crossing, turn left, and follow the tracks through the tunnel (see yellow dots above). While driving through the tunnel, line yourself up so that you are driving on the left of the tracks, as close to the left track as possible. Now, when you leave the tunnel, fire a red shell. The shell should go forward, but since you are now obviously in last place, it will curl back towards the fence on the left side of the track. If fired at the right angle, the shell will stop, and will just be spinning very rapidly. Now, line up your kart so that you are on the other side of the track, directly across from the shell. Drive into the shell head on, and hopefully, your kart will bounce over the fence, and you will have completed 3/4 of a lap! Note: Due to train traffic, this trick is very dangerous, and requires a lot of practice.

  • From: F. Gerald Caruso (Jcaruso@erols.com) Variant: A spiny shell can also be used to perform the Kalimari shell trick. Using a spiny shell dramatically increases your odds of clearing the fence, as you can run into the spiny shell 3 times before it disappears, and the spiny will pop you slightly higher in the air.
