These are all the shortcuts.
If you find a shortcut that I don't have please E-mail me with the course
and the description of where it is and what it does.
Taj's plane challenge: When you fly in the part where you can access
Snowflake mountain fly to the right of the flags and you will be farther
ahead if you don't fly right out of the course.
Jungle Falls:As long as you're not the car, this can be done. At the
start, drive/fly straight ahead, into the lake. You'll avoid driving
around the lake.
Jungle Falls 2:
The plane is required for this one. When you cross the
bridge, fly upward into the tunnel.
Hot Top Volcano:
It is easier to use the plane for this one. After the
first fork, fly to the right, into the small tunnel.
Walrus Cove:
When you are surronded by freezing water, take the left
path when you can.
Treasure Caves:
If you have the plane, fly to the higher tunnel.
Windmill Plains:
In the windmills are road zippers. Hit
them for boosts.
Frosty Village 1:
Near the part of the course where you go past several large pillars,
turn a sharp right and
you should see 3 Zippers. There will also be a rainbow balloon.
Frosty Village 2:
You need the hovercraft in order for this one to work!
Near the end, you'll see a large
out cropping with 3 ledges on it by the right. It's surrounded by a lake.
Underneath it is a tunnel, go through it.
Fossil Canyon:
If you are losing, take the left at the first fork and get the red balloon. if you are
winning go right at the fork and get the blue balloon.
Boulder Canyon:
In the part after the indoor waterfall, you'll see a red balloon on the left
and a green one on the right, leading to the rest of the track. But grab the
red one and you'll find a hidden tunnel behind it. Not only is this shorter,
but you need it for the silver coin challenge because there are two silver
coins in it.
Snowball Village:
Take the left path at the fork, it's a little quicker.
Pirates Lagoon:
Near the end, use the zipper to jump the ramp and get a blue balloon!
Greenwood Village:
At the beginning of the course when you go through the village, You will see a well.
Hit the brakes as you come near the well and drive over it. You will fall
down to a tunnel with a zipper in it, this will save you some time.
Crescent Island 1:
Before the tunnel at the beginning, you'll see a path to the left.
Follow it and you will get a rainbow balloon and get ahead.
Crescent Island 2:
Using the hovercraft, go left around the pirate's ship to find a shorter
tunnel.
Cresent Island 3--When you enter a tunnel with a zipper, hit it if you
want, but immediately turn to the right to take a quicker path. A
silver coin is in this path in Adventure one.
Whale Bay:
Use the whale near the beginning to jump onto the pirate's ship where you
get a rainbow balloon, it saves a lot of time!
