Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Tap the L button (a button used to activate items) while the Gold Mushroom is active to gain several boosts.
  2. 2
    The Gold Mushroom's effect is based on time, not the number of boosts you create.

    Once activated, use it to its full advantage.
  4. 4
    Use the Gold Mushroom on corners and shortcuts, similar to normal mushrooms.
  5. 5
    Warning: Do not use the Gold Mushroom on thin ledges where you might boost into a bottomless pit, unless you intend to.
Tips
  • The Gold Mushroom provides an extended boost effect, functioning like a regular mushroom but for a longer duration.
  • Maximize the Gold Mushroom's timed duration by using it strategically on turns and shortcuts.

Defending Against: You cannot defend against or stop other karts from using Gold Mushrooms.
