Master Mission 6-5 in Mario Kart DS! Learn the best strategy for driving through all 8 numbered gates in order, including item box usage and boost timing.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Right at the start, you'll see two item boxes. You absolutely need to grab both of these to get the Triple Mushrooms. Use them wisely throughout the mission!
  2. 2
    After grabbing the first item box, power slide around the immediate corner and drive through the first gate.
  3. 3
    Line yourself up with the ramp directly behind the first gate. Use one of your Mushrooms for a boost to make the jump and fly through gate 2.
  4. 4
    As soon as you land from that jump, use another boost. This will let you easily cut across the small gaps ahead.
  5. 5
    Power slide around the next turn and head up the straightaway towards gate 3.
  6. 6
    As soon as you pass through gate 3, use your last Mushroom boost to go up the ramp. This gives you a much straighter shot at gate 4, which is located on the bridge.
  7. 7
    Slide around the next couple of turns and keep an eye out for a single item box in the middle of the track. Grab it!
  8. 8
    Use a boost as you go through gate 5.
  9. 9
    Power slide around the turn immediately following gate 5.
  10. 10
    As you round this turn, you'll spot gate 6 pretty close by. Line up with it, and as you approach the gap, use a boost to launch yourself across and through gate 6.
  11. 11
    As soon as you land back on the track on the other side, power slide to the left and immediately use another boost to get through gate 7, which is off to the side.
  12. 12
    Just keep driving straight ahead from there; the final gate, gate 8, will be in plain view. Drive through it to complete the mission!
Tips
  • The Triple Mushrooms from the first two item boxes are crucial. Don't miss them!
  • Timing your boosts is key, especially for clearing the gaps and making the jumps.
  • Mastering the power slide will help you maintain speed through the turns and line up for the gates.
