Sunshine Airport - All tips/strats.

Hello all, I made this thread for help players with problems on this track.
Last update: 13/02/2015.

Combo: Bowser/Wario/Morton/Heavy Mii | Blue Falcon | Slicks/Cyber slicks | Super glider/Gold glider.

- After the "Go!" do a right hop, then two neutrals then another right hop. After this last hop drift, going at the start wide, then softdrift (pad at 45° or less, in few word on north-west) after you have lines for don't hit the wall. With a good softdrift you should have charged a SMT, use it as soon as possible. In the air-part, for get good lines for the first trick of track, put the pad on the right, and before landing, some frames before, start to softdrift on left and charge a MT. After charged it, use it before the little ramp then trick as soon as possible, on the "feet" of ramp. Do a right hop right after you land from the trick, after do a neutral hop and start to slide (right-left-right-left-left). With last two left slides you have better lines for get the low jump. Talking about the low jump, for get it you should drift on left and try to land as far as possible from the ramp, trying to hit the far part of it.
After low-jump charge the SMT then use it and do a right hop and a drift on the right before you land from the platform. Try to get the SMT as soon as possible meanwhile you use shroom on the cut. For get that SMT you should at start go wide, then before exiting to the dirt do a right softdrift. Once charged the SMT do hops (left-left-right-left-right-left) The 6th hop will be without SMT's boost, so don't worry if you do the hop without the boost (NOTE: that works only on lap 1, because with 10 coins on lap 2&3 is slower for lines). After last left hop start softdrifting on the left taking the two coins then use the MT charged and do two right hops, and with last hop you should land on panel-boost (also called zipper). Once hit this you have to do some hops: right-left-right-left-left. After landing on 3rd hop you should hit the second panel-boost. The coins are a little bit hard here to take, don't worry if you can't take them, you will learn.
After these hops, wait a little bit then before hit the "glider-platform" hop and try to land far from the "feet" of this platform. During air-part keep the pad on the right all the time and get ready for the next drift. After landed drift on right and try to get the MT soon. After charged the MT and used it start to drift again for get the next SMT. Once used SMT do three hops, left-right-left (those hops have to be really precise talking about timing, if not you will go slower).
If you did everything correct, so you went enough fast you should get the lines, in the glider part, for get the "airplane trick". The airplane trick isn't hard, just trick when you are close the it. The hardest part is take the coins after the trick. In air-part here try to take 3 coins: that in the mid, in the left and the highest coin. Land close to the next turn, once landed do a left slide then start on the left for get a MT. Use it and softdrift on the right: try to do a good softdrift, because you need the MT before the trick. Use it and trick, as late as possible, so you will go more high for dodge the packs/boxes. Once landed do a right hop, as soon as possible, as in first ramp. After the right hop do a neutral hop then start sliding: right-left-right-left-right and drift again for the first SMT as on lap 1: at start go wide, then when you have lines for don't hit the wall softdrift.

What is different on lap 2:
After SMT on lap 2 you have to go wide, charge & use MT then trick and land close to the wall. Once landed to right hop-neutral-right slide-left slide-right slide-left slide (this time you won't go on the mid of track, but on the left) and start to drift on the left as on lap 1: trying to hitting the far part of zipper.
Another part that is different on lap 2 is after the SMT on anti-gravity part: Use it as late as possible and do 3 slides, trying to go a little bit wider. You can get a low-glider here, which is "1XX (+-) faster than normal glider.

This is fantastic.  Seeing a detailed guide from a WR holder is something I've desired for a while and one of my favorite things to read.

This is the reason why I don't do time trials competitively on mk8... too many weird, confusing hops

MK8 looks more confusing than it is - a few different techs cover the vast majority of the strats.

Very helpful, thanks so much for the guide Domenico  Cool
Diogo, if you're actually serious about making one for every track, I look forward to that too. That's a crazy project to undertake - writing a guide to every second of every track Tongue
