Mission 7-3

You'll start on the Tick Tock Clock course. Your main goal is to complete two laps in 1 minute and 30 seconds. The biggest challenges here are the course's obstacles and the risk of falling off.

Get a good start with a turbo boost right away, and then nail a power slide around the first corner. This sets you up perfectly for the lap.

Grab the item box immediately. You'll get Triple Mushrooms, which are super helpful. Use one to boost up the big hill ahead.

As you reach the large clock face platform, stick to the left side. Use the boost pads you find there to zip across quickly. Try to avoid hitting the clock's hands – they can really slow you down or knock you off course.

After the clock face, you'll come to a section with three pendulums swinging back and forth. If you have any boosts saved up from your Mushrooms, now's the time to use them to power through this section. You'll find more item boxes just past the pendulums, so grab those for another set of Triple Mushrooms.

Next up is a tricky part with four platforms that rotate alternately. The safest bet is to travel along the outer edge. If you match the direction of the rotation, you'll speed up, but it's much riskier. Boost across these as fast as you can.

After the rotating platforms, you'll encounter a couple of corners. Execute power slides here to maintain your speed.

You'll see another clock face platform coming up. Again, stick to the outer edge to steer clear of the moving hands and any other hazards on the platform itself.

The final stretch involves a hill. At the top, you'll find two rotating tires on each side of the track. If you can hit the tire that's moving in the same direction as you, you'll get a final, crucial boost to help you finish the lap strong.

Repeat this strategy for your second lap. If you've been using your boosts effectively and avoiding the major obstacles, you should easily finish well within the 1 minute and 30-second time limit.
