Maple Treeway

Master Maple Treeway in Mario Kart Wii with our expert guide. Learn shortcuts, Wriggler strategies, and boost pad tips for the fastest time.

Walkthrough: A gentle S-bend section takes you to a rocket boost across the level. Drift right, out of the tunnel and left to an open area with two Wrigglers to avoid. They (mostly) stick to the outside, but try and gauge where they will go quickly and head across. What follows is a tight right and a thin path with booster pads on the left and right sides (take the left) and a hairpin turn. Due to the boosters before it, it is hard to take it tight so either drift as soon as you launch from them and cut as much out as possible, or take advantage of the trick quarter pipe. Bomb down the straight and a bridge to a ramp, and a soft left into a bouncing net. As you are bounced up you can do tricks for sneaky boosts. Head across the bumpy roots to the start finish.

Shortcuts:

1. At the very start of the track, just as it turns left, you can go right in a gap in the barrier for a route with boosters to come out at the booster rocket. It is considerably faster than taking the opening route.
2. The final part with the trees has two booster ramps either side.

Other Tips:

• There are piles of leaves throughout, which sometimes contain a mushroom - or a banana.
• The bouncy net at the end can be tricked from, if you time it right, as well as the tree roots just after.

Time Trial Tips:

• Use that opening shortcut to cut a few seconds.
• Use the mushroom after the hairpin turn, on the straight with the leaves coming into the booster then bouncy net.
• The central section with the Wrigglers should be tackled as follows - 1st Lap, go central then left side; 2nd Lap, go far left of both Wrigglers; 3rd Lap, go far right of both Wrigglers.
• At the end, be sure to trick across the net, and use either the side booster ramps or trick from the roots in the centre.
