The following trick works on the Boo Lake, Broken Pier, Rainbow
Road levels, or any of the Ghost Valley levels. If you fall out of
bounds and Lakitu fishes you out, hold A (accelerate) about three
seconds before he drops you off. If done correctly, you will get a
quick boost of speed to get back in the race. Note: This does not
work for levels such as the Bowser levels, where you are not
raised by Lakitu very high off the ground.
In Ribbon Road on Star Cup, get to the first ramp. Hit the turbo
in front of the ramp then hit the ramp. Make a hard right and hit
the second track to the left. Then, hold Right until you stop
bouncing and you will be ahead of the other racers.
When you are on the road look to the left side of the track for
something that resembles a skinny long track. Go right over the
edge, and since the sides make you jump, land on it. You will go
very fast because of the speed boosts.
Jump onto the skinny part of the track next to the larger portion.
However, instead of going around, turn right slightly. If done
correctly, you will be on the edge of the first jump section and
have gone up at least one rank. This is extremely hard to do, but
if done correctly it can pull you from a fifth to a first place finish.
Get 100 coins or more by the end of the cup to unlock extra
tracks. Press L or R to view and play them.
Once you get an "A" rank on every cup on every class you will
unlock all of the original courses from Super Mario Kart.
Immediately before the race starts, when the little turtle cloud
appears, hold Gas. When the race starts, you will peel out or
smoke your tires then take off.

If you want to race on the Classic Super NES tracks that you play on in the single
cart link mode while in 1P mode, all you need to do is complete each circuit
with at least 125 coins collected and you will unlock the respective classic circuit.

To unlock the final circuit, Special Cup (which includes Star Road), all you
need to do is get a gold trophy in each of the earlier races.
