Mario Kart Super Circuit [GBA]
Player Select Tricks
On the Player Select screen, press L to make the rotating image of the character you put the cursor on shoot a green shell straight ahead. You can also press R to make that character jump. Do this as many times as you please, it's just a little trick to try if you want.
Recover before Spinning Out
When you run straight into a Banana or another hazard, you'll notice your kart goes off balance before spinning out totally. To get back on balance before spinning out, release the acceleration and press the brakes (you must do this before you actually spin out, or else it'll be worthless). If you did it correctly, you'll see a music note appear above your character's head, showing you pulled it off successfully.
Unlock Special Cup
To unlock the Special Cup in a particular difficulty setting (50cc, 100cc, 150cc), you must beat the Mushroom, Flower, Thunder, and Star Cups and earn Gold Cups in all of them.
Unlock Super Mario Kart Courses
To unlock the courses from Super Mario Kart on the SNES, you must get an A rank or better on all the cups in GP mode on any difficulty. On 50cc mode this means you must get 100 coins or more between all the races in each cup. Then on the cup select screen if you press L or R you can race the SMK tracks. Four are unlocked for every cup you do this on.
Unlock SNES Tracks in Time Trial Mode
To unlock the SNES tracks in Time Trial mode, you must unlock them in the 150cc difficulty setting (see the ''Unlock Super Mario Kart Courses'' secret for information on unlocking the tracks).
Special Cup circuit:
Win a gold trophy in all races to unlock the Special Cup circuit.
Erase Game Save
You can erase the game by holding L, R, B, and Start when you turn the power on.
Honk your Driver's Horn
To make your driver honk their horn, press Select while racing. Each character's horn sounds different, too.
Power Sliding
As in Mario Kart 64, you are able to power slide in this game as well! To perform a power slide, press and hold R to hop while holding Left or Right. When you land, you'll slide in the direction you were holding. After about 2 seconds, let go of the R button and stop sliding. When you drive straight, you'll be given a boost, which is the result of a power slide. It may take a little bit of practice to pull it off, but it helps when trying to get around hairpin turns, or if you want to cut a couple seconds off your time when racing in Time Trial mode.
Recover before Spinning Out
When you run straight into a Banana or another hazard, you'll notice your kart goes off balance before spinning out totally. To get back on balance before spinning out, release the acceleration and press the brakes (you must do this before you actually spin out, or else it'll be worthless). If you did it correctly, you'll see a music note appear above your character's head, showing you pulled it off successfully.
Turbo Boost after Lakitu Retrieval
If you fall off the track or get stuck underwater for more than a couple moments, Lakitu comes to pull you out and place you on the track again. When he picks you up, wait until just before you touch the track again, then press the acceleration and you'll get a turbo boost if you timed it correctly.
Turbo Boost at Start of Race
To get a turbo boost to give you a head start in the race, do not press/hold the acceleration button before the race. Wait until just before the final light appears, then hold down the accelerator If you time it correctly, you'll be shot ahead, giving you a quick start!
