Raising Your Score at Kalimari Desert 2R

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! Rocket Start will not just give you a short boost but also helps you take a good position in the race.

Drifting

There are long curves in this course. Take advantage of it and perform Mini-Turbo Boosts to increase your score.

Train and Ramps

Just like going over ramps, bumping the train will not slow you down but will let you perform a jump boost.

You can locate the first lap of the race in the Train Tunnel entrance. Be sure to take 1st place in getting the first lap for a higher score!
