How to Obtain All Grand Stars

Raising Your Score at Dino Dino Jungle

Position Points and Gimmicks are the Most Important.**

In order to obtain the most points possible, you should aim for a high position and use items to knock your opponents out of the lead.

Tips for Raising Your Score

Rocket Start

Always start with a Rocket Start. You will get the highest bonus score when you perform the Rocket Start correctly. Rocket Start will also give you an early lead in the race.

Road Humps, Rocks, and Water Current

Going through road humps, rocks, and water currents will let you perform a jump boosts. You will dash after landing when you perform a jump boost, be sure to take that opportunity to catch up or extend your lead.

Dinosaur

Be careful driving around the dinosaur. You will slow down once hit by its foot.

Shortcut 1

You can take the shortcut by turning right after the mini cave, besides the dinosaur's feet. Get a better position in a race to get more scores!

Shortcut 2

You can access this shortcut by taking a right turn before the last set of item boxes. Turn-off smart steering to easily access this shortcut. The combo will be shorter compared to the normal route, so we suggest using this shortcut if you are in 4th place and below in the race to maximize the score you can get in a race.

Combo Area

You can perform a long combo inside the cave (right after the last set of item boxes). You can finish the race without breaking the combo, starting at the combo area.

Gliding Area

The gliding area in this course is part of the combo area. You can extend gliding time by hitting the head of the dinosaur. Extending gliding time will add more count to your combo.
