Just a heads-up: sometimes course names can be a bit different depending on where you are in the world. This guide sticks to the American names. Here are a few examples of how the names differ between American (NoA) and European (NoE) versions:
- 3DS Music Park (NoA) is called 3DS Melody Motorway (NoE)
- 3DS Piranha Plant Slide (NoA) is known as 3DS Piranha Plant Pipeway (NoE)
- 3DS Neo Bowser City (NoA) is referred to as 3DS Koopa City (NoE)
We might also see some differences in vehicle part names. If you notice any, let me know so I can update the guide!
Oh, and one more thing: I'll be using the term 'Grip' instead of 'Traction' throughout this guide. It was officially called Grip early on, and I'd already written most of the guide using that term, so I'm sticking with it for consistency.
