Time to race! The acclaimed Mario Kart series has gone wireless, letting players race and battle with up to eight karts at once, regardless of whether everyone has a game card. An all-star cast that includes Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Wario, Bowser and Toad will round out a truly all-star lineup of more than 30 courses drawn from every Mario Kart game.

DK Pass ... When you see the ice to the right of you when you're racing, get ready. Near the end of the ice, to the left, there's a hill with some trees. Climb up the hill with a play that goes moderately fast over snow and grass and all that (I usually use Dry Bones with his Standard DB), and on the very tip of the hill is an item box. Even if you're in first place, this item box will give you either 3 mushroom boosts or a star!
Yoshi Circuit ... Where the hand of Yoshi is, you can see that there is grass leading to a pit of water. Because of that you'll have to drive around the 'hand'. Well, if you have Dry Bones Standard Kart again, you can jump across the gaps. Drive in to the grass, and press the drifting button right when you're on the edge, and if you've done it right you should land on the other side of the track. Unlike the DK Pass cheat, this doesn't work with most karts. Try to find one that works! You can also use mushroom boosts with any kart to go through. HINT - DK PASS AND YOSHI CIRCUIT

Snaking/drifting
Snaking will help you win races by a long shot. To snake is basically powerslide. Mastering snaking can be tricky. To powerslide, press R button while turning either way and shifting the D-Pad left and right at a medium speed until your sparks on your Kart turn red. It usually takes only four left/right/left/right/ motions to get a powerslide, depending on your speed. Once you master the speed of how you powerslide, you can start to snake.
This will mostly help you get three star ranking on your Grand Prix races. You can also use this method online, which many users do. (Including myself) To snake, powerslide a certain direction. After that, either hop or turn sharply the other way and do another powerslide. Do this for most of the race, and depending on the track, you can win it easily rather than those that do not snake.
Unlock name stars
To affix stars to your name in a wi-fi battle, just race all the grand prix races (including mirror tracks) and earn at least one star in the ranking. The number of stars earned during your grand prix career will be reflected in your wi-fi standing
Respawn speed boost
If you fall off a cliff, Lakitu brings you back up from the abyss and then sets you back on the track so that you can resume the race. The moment your wheels touch the ground, start accelerating to receive an extra little boost. Though this does require precise timing, it's not so hard once you get used to the process.
Block shells
To block red and green shells from scoring a hit on your vehicle, try to hold a banana peel, a red shell, or a green shell of your own behind your go-kart. This will block any shell from hitting you, so you can continue the race.
