Conquer Mario Circuit in Mario Kart Wii! Get expert tips on handling the Chain Chomp corner, mastering shortcuts with mushrooms, and beating the Expert Staff Ghost.

Alright, let's tackle Mario Circuit! It's a pretty straightforward track, but there are a few tricky bits and shortcuts that can really shave off time, especially if you're aiming for those faster ghost times.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You'll start with a couple of easy right turns that are perfect for drifting. Get a good drift going to build up some speed.
  2. 2
    Next up is a corner section with a Chain Chomp. How you handle this depends on where the Chain Chomp is. If he's to your right, hug the left side of the track and drift properly to avoid his bite. If he's more to the left, you can actually cut across the grass and use the boost ramp that's there.
  3. 3
    After the tunnel, you'll need to drift left. Grab a few item boxes here, but watch out for the Goombas chilling in the middle of the track. Just weave through them and aim for the finish line.

Shortcuts:

  • At that Chain Chomp corner, if you've got a mushroom, you can use it to boost across the grass directly to the boost ramp. This skips a good chunk of the corner and saves you precious seconds.
  • Another mushroom shortcut is right after you exit the tunnel. As you're heading left, use a mushroom to cut across the wide corner as it starts to go uphill.

Time Trial Tips:

  • On your second lap, if your time is good enough, you can actually take the inside line on the Chain Chomp corner, going right under him! It's a tight squeeze, but it’s faster if you can nail it.
  • Definitely use a mushroom for either of the shortcuts mentioned above. I personally found the grass shortcut out of the tunnel to be the best for beating the Expert Staff Ghost, but using it to get to the ramp at the Chain Chomp corner works too!

Other Tips:

  • None.
