Has anybody made a list of the best combos for every course? It would help me alot.

The lone exception to that rule is Grumble Volcano, where you use Baby Mario + Bit Bike due to the handling increase. Here is a list of all the courses and the character/bike used.

Luigi Circuit: Funky Kong + Spear
Moo Moo Meadows: Funky Kong + Flame Runner
Mushroom Gorge: Daisy + Mach Bike
Toad's Factory: Funky Kong + Flame Runner

Mario Circuit: Funky Kong + Spear
Coconut Mall: Funky Kong + Flame Runner
DK Summit: Funky Kong + Flame Runner
Wario's Gold Mine: Luigi* + Mach Bike

Daisy Circuit: Funky Kong + Flame Runner
Koopa Cape: Funky Kong + Flame Runner
Maple Treeway: Funky Kong + Flame Runner
Grumble Volcano: Baby Mario + Bit Bike

Dry Dry Ruins: Funky Kong + Flame Runner
Moonview Highway: Funky Kong + Spear**
Bowser's Castle: Daisy + Mach Bike
Rainbow Road: Funky Kong + Flame Runner

Retro Courses:

GCN Peach Beach: Funky Kong + Spear

* Daisy is faster than Luigi, but the WR uses him.

Hope this helps

I'll probably have the list memorised before long, thanks alot Brett.

BrettMK Ex Member	Re: The official help topic Reply #140 - 10/13/09 at 02:33:46 Speedwise, yes. Flame Runner has a big MT advantage so it helps on this course. The best known Spear time is 1'17"265 by Mick and that was already a very good run. I think the sub is possible with Spear but just barely. If it was just up to speed, Spear would dominate every course.

Don't get too greedy. Drive further out before using the shroom so your bike has time to face the right direction. You should easily be able to slide into the homestretch and save a lot of time even if you don't cut quite as much track as you wanted to. (I can give you this exact same advice for many other shroomspots in the game, especially LC. Line it up right, don't rush it!)

lol, I just watch the WR, and I know what the minimal "waiting time" is after you pull up into a wheelie. Then I just wait about .1 - .2 seconds longer than he did to guarantee success. Smiley

i guess you posted this a while ago though. I'm just bored atm.

Any tips on making the double jump in DKS? I've seen the WR on YouTube and know approximately what trajectory is taken, but the video plays at like 2 frames per second (is it just my computer?) and that doesn't explain much to me about how one actually prepares the leap. The only way I can make it at the moment is by slowing down, DKM-style, making a hard right for the first leap and then using a shroom on the second (which is rarely successful, I must add!) And to add insult to injury, I didn't even PR my flap when I did make one decent double jump!

Why do I even waste my time on this track? (I mean, what's a guy from Mississippi supposed to know about downhill ski jumps!?) Smiley
