Since most of us have played this game for hours upon hours, surely we have noticed some small details that others might not know about.  I'd certainly be interested in hearing about these kinds of things from other players, and maybe as a community we can compile a large list of some of the small quirks of this game.  Even if you're unsure of how obvious something is, post it anyway.  Can't hurt.


I'll begin with just a few things, but I'm sure a lot more will come to mind later.

-DS Desert Hills textured finish line is the farthest back from the actual finish line.
-If you spam button inputs very rapidly during a time trial, you can make the "Unable to create a ghost" message pop up much earlier than 6 minutes into the trial due to an overflow of ghost information.
-There's a 5th type of trick.  Jammed tricks.  It's when you perform a trick and get the boost, but the animation does not activate.  Common when multiple tricks are performed rapidly, or when contact with the ground is made very shortly after tricking.

The lowest valid MKWii FC is 0000-0000-0142.

You can confirm this by trying to register all FCs from 0000-0000-0000 to 0000-0000-0142, but I used a much faster method to find this number.

The lowest FC that someone actually has is probably 0001-3xxx-xxxx.

Anything over 54xx-xxxx-xxxx is impossible.

If you perform the ubercut from the bridge near the start line to the shroomspot u-turn on N64 Bowser's Castle, drive back up the stairs and then circle Bowser's statue clockwise three times, you unlock Marty.

That's funny because on my old wii my fc was 0001-4xxx-xxxx

my main fc is a 5458 fc

btw do you think they might have reservered the other fcs for the moment all others are given away?

Did this ever happen to anyone else?

You can do that on BCWii too. Wheelie right before you go off the final ramp and pull back all the way. Hop when you land and it does the same thing. Really weird.

I just remembered, there is that odd effect on mushroom gorge where you can use the zippers to make your bike/kart immune to offroad. I can't remember exactly how it was reproduced, but remember thinking "amg prb" when I got it  

The MG PRB was very simple: It's activated whenever you go over one of the ramps before the mushroom sections, and deactivated whenever you hit a red mushroom.

Yes, but it's not worth doing. If I remember correctly, the effect also reduces your mini-turbo power to zero (the boosts charge and release normally but don't actually increase your speed), so even if it weren't inconvenient to activate, it still wouldn't be worthwhile.

-You can trick on the umbrella/canopy thing on rYF.
