Master Mission 5-4 in Super Mario Kart! Learn the best routes and strategies to drive through all 10 Bowser Castle gates in order and beat the clock.
Walkthrough
- 1You'll start on a Bowser Castle course. Your main goal is to pass through 10 gates in the exact order they appear.
- 2As soon as you begin, try to drift through the first gate. Immediately after, aim for the boost pad on the left side to get a speed boost as you pass through the second gate.
- 3Power slide around the next corner to set yourself up for the third gate. Be mindful of the Thwomp; if it's down, try to pass through the gate before it crushes you.
- 4In the first jumping section, there's a boost pad on the far left. If you can hit it and then drift right, you can pass straight through gate 4. Alternatively, if you can manage a tight turn, you might be able to snag the right boost pad.
- 5At the second jumping part, you'll want to stay towards the middle of the track initially, then shift to the right. This positioning will help you nab gates 5 and 6.
- 6Next, you'll encounter a grated section of track with a pit. Instead of trying to jump over the pit to reach gate 7, go through it. Use the boost pads on the left to gain speed.
- 7Maneuver carefully around the subsequent jumps and aim for gate 8, which should be just ahead.
- 8After gate 8, you'll hit another corner. Power slide around it and use your mini-turbo to blast through gate 9.
- 9Keep going straight from gate 9 to reach the final gate, gate 10. Just watch out for any Thwomps that might be in your path!
Tips
- Mastering the drift and mini-turbo mechanics is key to hitting all the gates and boost pads efficiently.
- Keep an eye on the Thwomps; timing your movements to avoid them can save you from a frustrating setback.
- Don't be afraid to restart if you miss a gate or a crucial boost pad, as this mission is all about precision and speed.
