Oh oh, a noob needs help!

Unlock Special Cup on Time Trial and 2P Match Race

Go to Time Trial or 2P Match Race, put the cursor on Mushroom Cup and press: L,R,L,R,L,L,R,R,A. If you haven't unlocked Special Cup already, it'll be available now. (gamefaqs.gamespot.com)

At least you can test and play it

Oh oh, you're a superhero now

now he needs to unlock 150cc

If I were RVZ I'd at least beat the 100cc GPs so I wouldn't have to enter that code every time I turned the game on. The code's effect only lasts until you turn the game off, unless you've unlocked the Special Cup the normal way.

And if you're not good enough to beat the GPs in 100cc, I doubt you'll get very far up the Time Trial ladder. If you're a beginner don't use the heavy characters just yet. When I first started out I used the Koopa Troopa and was able to beat the 150cc Special Cup with him. He has the worst top speed in the game, along with Toad, but the best handling and acceleration, making lightweight characters much more forgiving on the tougher tracks like BC3, DP3, or RR. Even top players still use the lightweights in Battle Mode. Only switch to Bowser/DK Jr. when you are good enough to complete every track with them at top speed without crashing or running off the road. You'll probably want to try them on a simple, wide-open track like MC1 or GV1 first.

On topic:

I'm struggling with 100cc CPU's. Imagine what 150cc does to me.

Time Trial runs at the speed of Grand Prix 100cc (or Match Race) with zero coin. Same as Battle Mode.

That's because we all cheat and boost across the offroad parts to not lose speed

You don't need to, actually I highly recommend not paying too much attention to the boosting techniques as long as you don't master the basic driving skills enough.

Nope, I never considered going for #1 there, so I will never.

I don't feel any interest in going for hours and hours of efforts put into a record that (almost) means nothing to me, unfortunately. This is why I only played seriously non-NBT on tracks where NBT doesn't give any big advantage (just like GV3, VL2 and RR).

You don't have to care about NBT at the moment, those tracks can be enjoyed without it you know!

Sadly you need to hit an obstacle for that during your race. Though on Ghost Valleys you get it for free if you perform platform-jumps, as the game often detects a crash (for 1 frame) when you make it.

Anyway, lack of fixed replays is why I have eventually decided to live record all my sessions.
