How to Obtain All Grand Stars

Raising Your Score at Choco Island 1T

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

Starting with a Rocket Start will give you the advantage to take an early lead in the race. You can also get the highest bonus score possible if done correctly.

Ramps, Road Humps, and Platforms

There are many ramps and road humps all over the course. Make sure to go over to each of these road humps to maximize the combo you can make. The higher the combo, the higher the score!

Drifting

Perform Mini-Turbo boosts! Your kart will gain a short speed when doing Mini-Turbos. It can also extend the combo you are making and gain points from it.

1st Shortcut

Access the shortcut only if you have a Mushroom item. Using a Mushroom will give you a short boost that can help you access the shortcut smoothly.

Obstacles

Be careful when driving near the Piranha Plant. Avoid them or your kart will crash, causing you to slow down.

2nd Shortcut

We do not recommend using the shortcut as you will miss the humps on the road. Access the shortcut only if you are not in the lead (4th place or below) and if you have a Mushroom item. The Mushroom will give you a short boost that can help you access the shortcut smoothly.

Use Items

Make sure to hit your opponents when throwing your items forward or backward. Hitting an opponent will grant you points and slow them down at the same time. This will give you the advantage to get ahead of them and take the lead. Do not forget to save at least one item to defend yourself from getting hit.
