Mission Mode Guide

Welcome to my awesome guide to the missions! Unlike before, I will tell you strats and tips on how to beat each individual mission, and my boss guide has been added as an extra chapter!

Level 1

Mission 1

Drive through all 5 numbered gates in order.

Here, you just have to drive through the gates in Figure Eight Circuit. Do not try snaking though, as your kart isn't good for it.

Mission 2, collect all 15 coins

Collecting coins on Peach Circuit is easy, just power-slide each bend and drive each straight normally. Do not attempt to snake as your kart has very high drift!

Mission 3, destroy all 10 item boxes

The locations of the item boxes you need to destroy are:

Straight ahead from the start
On the first bridge
On the lower part after the bridge
On the second bridge
Before the first boost pad
On the final bridge
On the boost pad after the final bridge
Next two on final straight

Mission 4, Hit five cheep cheeps!

Here, get the star and hit as many fish as possible. Remember, it may take a few tries, and you have to be quick.

Mission 5, drive through all five numbered gates

For this mission, go straight through gate one. Now go to the rear of the top screen and along through gate two. Then you turn and go down the screen's edge through gate three. Go straight down more through gate four, then go horizontally along the bottom of the lower screen through gate five. Then, go round the corner and upwards along the right side of the DS for gate six.

Mission 6, Drive out of the mansion backwards!

This is so simple. Just remember than right is left and left is right when controlling your kart, and you'll make it easily.

Mission 7, collect all 20 coins

This is relatively easy, as long as you follow the coin trail exact along Moo Moo Farm. Remember, DK's handling is absymal.

Mission 8, Perform 4 power-slide turbo boosts in one lap!

As you are on Mario Circuit, just mini-turbo on each corner. If you snake, this should be even easier!

Boss Battle, The Big Bully

To knock him off, boost into him with boost at start. Then, grab item box and boost at him to smash him off the side.

That's it for level one! Now on to level 2!

Level 2

Mission 1, destroy 10 wooden crates

Now, for this mission, hit the crates on their side as not to lose much time. Here are the locations:

Right in front of you at start
To the left of the first corner
To the right of the first corner
On the nearest end of the pier
To the right of the pier
At the end of the pier
7, 8 and 9 are in a line along the path
10 is by the trees. Go out through the hole in the fence at it will be in front of you.

Mission 2, collect all 10 coins

Just collect the coins at Figure Eight Circuit. Remember, reverse at the start to get the coin behind the star line!

Mission 3, drive through 5 numbered gates in order

You are on Donut Plains. The gates are:

In front of the bridge
In the hole in the fence
After the mud patch
Near the lake, after a mushroom
Near the final mud patch

Mision 4, destroy 5 item boxes

You must chase 5 item boxes through Luigi's Mansion. Remember to use the mushroom from each one to get the other, and don't accidentally do the freeze glitch!

Mission 5, collect all 20 coins

Collect the coins on Cheep Cheep Beach. Do not miss the coin on the ramp!

Mission 6, destroy 5 pokeys with bombs!

Remember, here you must have good aim. Get near the catus enemies and fire away the bob-ombs!

P.S. Don't worry about blowing yourself up! You can still get 3 stars!

Mission 7, drive through all 10 numbered gates in order

Follow the road, but go through the gate on the left at the first part with double gates in a row.

Mission 8- Perform 6 mini-turbos in three laps!

Just power-slide each corner on each lap of Baby Park! Did you know the star power can be made to last three laps?

Boss Battle, Eyerok

Fire the green shells at the eyeballs. When he charges, go round to front (between the fists) and fire one last green shell.

Level 3

Mission 1, destroy all five item boxes

The boxes are going around Waluigi Pinball. Just keep trying, as I can offer no advice here.

Mission 2, drive through all the numbered gates backwards

As you are Bowser driving reverse around Delfino Square, follow this path:

Go straight
Turn right then left afterwards
Keep turning left
Go straight down the steps
Turn right
Turn right and keep turning right through the final gate. follow this, and you should have gone through all five gates!

Mission 3, Collect all fifteen coins while avoiding the chain chomp

Just do what the mission asks, but don't power-slide at all. If you do, you'll fly around a lot and screw up.

Mission 4, reach the finish before Yoshi!

You have to beat Yoshi. Do not snake, as the high drift of your kart will cause havoc. You have to go through the first two waterfalls and across the final bridge.

Mission 5, drive through all 8 numbered gates in order

To win, do this:

Go straight through gate 1
Go through the pipe and get shot out through gate two.
Turn and go through gate three.
Turn again util you are facing the pipe and go through gate four.
Be propelled out the pipe through gate five.
Go through gate six
Go up the ramp through gate seven
Dro down through gate eight.

Mission 6, hit five Monty Moles with shells

This is about luck, or aiming. To aim well, stand still and fire a shell when the mole is about to fall back down into the ground.

Mission 7, perform 10 power-slide turbo boosts in one lap!

This is quite hard, doing mini-turbos with DK on Shroom Ridge. But it's easy to mini-turbo a lot on each bend, use that to your advantage. Or it could just be easy for me to do so as I have 1:50:00 on Shroom Ridge!

Mission 8, collect all 20 coins

Okay, the nightmare level for beginners and noobs worldwide. The coins are:

Straight ahead of you
In the next room
Through the doorway after the narrow path.
Go behind the barricades
The next narrow passage way
Turn after the banana and follow the road for the next two coins
Turn out the left door and go along for the next coin
After the banana
In a room with barricades after the banana are the next two coins
Go left of the banana row
Go right of the next banana row
Turn and go into the final doorway for a coin.
Turn left and in the next room are the rest of the coins

Boss Battle, Goomboss

Beat him to the finish. Collect mushrooms to go faster.

Level 4

Mission 1, reach the finish before Donkey Kong

To beat this, you must learn a bit about the level. You are racing on reverse DK Pass, and to beat the mission you must beat your rival to the finish. Race like normal until you get to the special item box. Now get three mushrooms and boost off the cliff, jumping at the edge. You should skip the bend and get really far ahead!

Mission 2, blast 20 crabs

The easiest way here is to get triple green shells and run into the crabs, then get another item. You can also lay bombs to blast a large group at once.

Mission 3, reach the finish before the red car

Okay, the first time you race a enemy monster, you are racing a red car through Shroom Ridge. Just get the mushrooms from the first box, and power-slide much of the rest, smashing the red cars timing.

Mission 4, drive through all 7 numbered gates in order

To go through the gates, remember where they are. The locations are below:

straight in front of you
To the left of the pyramid
On the sand to your right
On the straight
At the bend after the straight way
Before a jumpable patch of sand
By the finish line

Get the coins without being squished by a Thwomp

Just powerstart through the first row. Wait for the Thwomps to fall and boost through the next row as they are raising. If you get squashed, you actually fail the mission.

Break the 10 real item boxes

Look on the map during this and go through the boxes that appear rainbow on the map. Avoid the ones that are red on the map.

Drive through all 10 gates

Just drive through the 10 gats in Waluigi Pinball. They are in no order, so choose any route to take.

Perform 9 power-slide turbo boosts in one lap

As you are on Luigi Circuit GBA , this should be easy. Power-slide on each corner. And for a higher rank, cut across the grass at the corners.

Boss Battle, avoid King Boo while collecting 50 coins

Collect 10 coins in one circle, then when he hits you, go round the back of him and hit him. Charge through the front for your money back. Repeat the process.

Beat the next three levels of mission mode!
