Beat the Level 4 Boss in Mario Kart DS by collecting 50 coins while avoiding King Boo. Learn the best strategy to get a 3-star ranking.
Walkthrough
- 1Start with a turbo boost and go straight ahead.
- 2Collect the two coins and then power slide in a clockwise fashion to collect the rest on the first ring.
- 3Once you have collected all the coins on the ring, jump into the lava in the center at the cost of one balloon to reset King Boo and position your kart.
- 4Once you have been placed on the ground, try to get a boost when landing and get moving.
- 5Turn right, collect all the coins on the next ring, moving in a clockwise fashion again, using a power slide.
- 6Keep going around the ring even after all of the coins are collected, and grab the line of 3 coins on a path moving away from the ring.
- 7Hop into the lava in the center of the ring in front of you to stop King Boo from stealing your coins and reset him, placing you in the right position again.
- 8Once you hit the ground, boost and accelerate, and turn to the right.
- 9Collect the coins on the ring by power sliding in a clockwise fashion, and keep going around the circle to collect the three coins in the line.
- 10This time, collect the coins on the ring by power sliding in a counter-clockwise fashion.
Tips
- If King Boo steals your coins, chase and bump into him, then drive through King Boo from the front to get them back.
- If done correctly, you should have around 4:15 remaining on the clock and achieve a 3-star ranking.
- The arena is a series of circular platforms with several bunches of coins going around each platform in a line.
- King Boo floats around and then attacks from behind, taking 10 coins and making the rest of the level's coins disappear temporarily.
- Jumping into the lava in the center costs one balloon but resets King Boo and positions your kart.
