Master Mission 6-8 in Mario Kart DS! Learn the best strategy to beat Peach on the mirrored Peach Garden, including shortcuts and item usage.

Alright, so Mission 6-8 is all about beating Princess Peach on a mirrored version of Peach Garden. It sounds simple, but that mirror effect really throws you for a loop! Don't worry, though, I've got your back.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You're playing as Bowser here, and the track is flipped. As soon as the race starts, nail that turbo boost. You'll want to take the first turn pretty sharply to the left.
  2. 2
    After a short straight, you'll hit a curve. Use a power slide to get through it smoothly, and then follow the dirt path. Keep an eye out for Monty Moles – you don't want to hit those!
  3. 3
    As you reach the last curve on the dirt path, get ready to power slide again.
  4. 4
    In the next section, hug the left side and go around the perimeter of the circular area. Grab the item box you find here.
  5. 5
    Drift around the upcoming corner and head up the hill. If you've got Triple Mushrooms, now's the time to use your first one to cut across the grass.
  6. 6
    When you go down the hill into the Chain Chomp maze, things get a bit tricky because many paths are blocked. For the first couple of rows, try to stay in the middle. Then, shift to the left.
  7. 7
    Make sure you grab another item box in this maze, or if you still have two Mushrooms left, save them for later.
  8. 8
    Watch out for the Chain Chomp in the back left corner of the maze – stay to the right to avoid it.
  9. 9
    Slide around the sharp corners and head up the next hill. Use another boost here to cut across the grass again.
  10. 10
    Ahead, you'll need to use yet another boost to go over the grass that's marked as a required path.
  11. 11
    Cross the bridge, grab another item if you can, and power slide around the final curve.
  12. 12
    Use any remaining Mushrooms or your Star on this last stretch to the finish line to make sure you beat Peach!
Tips
  • The mirrored track is the main challenge here. Take your time to get used to the turns if you're struggling.
  • Item boxes are key! Try to grab as many as you can, especially if you get Mushrooms or a Star for those crucial shortcuts.
  • Don't get discouraged by the Chain Chomp maze. Staying towards the middle and then shifting left, and then right to avoid the Chomp, is the safest route.
