Shortcut
On Papu Papu's Pyrimid, get a turbo of any kind then close to the end of the level you'll make a left turn onto a ramp then a u-turn to the finish. At the bottom of the ramp you have to use your turbo then jump to the right at the top of the ramp. It's not much but it might get you in the lead.

Jumping To First
On POLAR PASS if you have a turbo boost or an uka uka use it in the tunnel where the two seals are. Wait a little bit. There will be a wall there. Jump and you will make it over the wall.

Go Racer, Go
On Cortex Castle, if you have a uka uka or a turbo boost, save it. In the middle of the level, there will be a blue room. Right when you get into the blue room, use you'r uka uka or turbo boost and jump left. You will land on a platform wich will lead you to another shortcut. Note: You you must have the right equipment to be able to accomplish this move.

Speed Boost
Whenever you meet a ramp, jump and when you reach the ground, you will go faster for a while. During the start of any race, hold accelarate at the correct time (some time between 1sec and the green light), you will boost for a while. When you fall from a ramp, you will get restored to the track by Oca-oca/Aco-aco. 1 sec before you reach the ground, hold accelarator and you will boost. All have to be done at the exact time.

Getting The
After passing through the first narrow strip of flaming statues, go a little further forwards and you should see a piece of the wall that is a darker blue. Hit it with a bomb or have an Aku/Aku and it will let you through to get the "R"

CTR Tokens In Crash Cove
If you're trying to get the CTR tokens in Crash Cove you have to try to ride up the wallafter you go off that first jump where the C token is by pressing R1. It takes a while, but eventually you'll get it.

Hot Air Skyway Shortcut
At the middle of the race, after the big jump, you will come to the narrow track where you can see another piece of race track to your right. After you pass it turn around so you are facing the wrong way. Speed up and try to jump over the thin barrier. It is so helpful that it moved me from 8th to 1st.

Hopping Hint

Blizzard Bluff Shortcut

Papus Pyramid Secret Area
After you go up the sharp turning staircase and past the first 2 piranha plants, there is a gap between the arrows. If one powerslides at the right angle or has a Aku Aku/Uka Uka mask, they can reach a secret platform that leads back onto the main race course. It may seem risky, but it puts you ahead a good distance.
