How to Obtain All Grand Stars

Raising Your Score at Los Angeles Laps T

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 can get the highest bonus score possible if done correctly. It will also help you take an early lead in the race.

Drifting

Perform Mini-Turbo boosts to gain extra points. It will also slighty increase your speed, helping you catch up or extend your lead in the race.

Gliding Area

At the start of the race, you can access a gliding area on the first turn (left). Use that to perform a long combo and get more points!

Pass through the Middle Ramp

Driving through the middle ramp, located at the middle part of the course, will get you more points. It will also give you more speed boost, making it easier for you to take the lead in a race. Just watch out for a Thwomp that will block your way!

T Course Advantage

There are additional platforms and ramps all over the course. Take advantage of that to earn higher scores!

Skateboard Ring

After the part where you pass through the middle ramp, you will see a small skateboard ring. Drive through that area to perform Jump Boosts, which will give you slight speed boost and points!

Side Steppers

Look out for the Side Steppers! Avoid bumping into them, or you'll slow down. If you have a spare item, you can use that to take them out and increase your points!
