Complete Mission 5-3 in Mario Kart DS by destroying all 5 item boxes on Koopa Beach 2. Learn the strategy to catch the moving boxes.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Collect the first item box if you can catch up to the train and maneuver around the deep part before they all become unreachable.
  2. 2
    After grabbing the first box, use the Mushroom to follow the shallow part to where the item boxes pass onto the shallows once more.
  3. 3
    Grab the front box in the train from behind.
  4. 4
    Either stop moving and collect the rest of them as they come to you without any further effort, or start driving in reverse to help it along.
Tips
  • The item boxes will be travelling over the deep waters where you can't follow.
  • Do not try to boost over the deep portions, as you will not skim over the surface.
