Grrrroww! Wizpig sure picked the wrong island to try to take over! If he thinks he's fast, wait until he goes up against me and my friends! Even though we'll have to race against each other before we get to face Wizpig, you won't hear us complaining. We all want a piece of the pig! Still, I have to hand it to ol' Wizzy-- he has dreamed up a wild racing adventure for us!

These Gold Balloons are the key to the adventure. Winning first place on a track will win one Gold Balloon. Gold Balloons can also be found scattered throughout the island. Earning Gold Balloons will allow us to open the many doors that Wizpig has used to seal parts of the island.

There are several kinds of races that we'll have to win if we want to be the one to face Wizpig.
GOLD BALLOON RACE
The first run through each circuit is for a Gold Balloon. Winning Gold Balloons will allow you to open yet more circuits on the island. Explore the main part of the island and you might find some balloons that you can take without winning a race.

BOSS CHALLENGE
Once you complete all the Gold Balloon Races in a given world, you'll be able to race against a hypnotized island inhabitant that Wizpig has turned into a racing zombie. Tricky, Bubbler and the rest used to be our buddies, but now they work for Wizpig. It's up to you to beat them in a race and restore their sanity.
SILVER COIN CHALLENGE
After you win all of the Gold Balloon races and beat the boss, you'll have to conquer all of the courses again in the Silver Coin Challenge Circuit. Although the course layouts don't change, in this circuit, you'll have to collect eight Silver Coins and come in first place to win. Of course, the Silver Coins aren't always conveniently placed to make it easy to win the race -- what would be the fun in that?

BOSS REMATCH
Finish the Silver Coin Challenge Circuit, and you'll have to go up against the boss of the world again! This time, he'll be even faster and wilier than before. Beat him the second time, and you'll earn a piece of the Wizpig Amulet. When the amulet is complete, you'll be able to go up against the whole hog!

TAJ'S CHALLENGE
Taj doesn't want to be left out of the festivities. At certain points in your adventure, he'll challenge you to a race around Timber's Island in one of the three different vehicles. Win these races and you'll get yet another Gold Balloon.

TROPHY RACE
After you beat the boss for the second time, you can then enter the Trophy Race. This race will challenge you to go through all the races in a circuit in a Grand Prix format. You'll be awarded a Gold, Silver or Bronze trophy depending on how many points you have after all the races. Collect all the Gold Trophies and beat Wizpig to go to Future Fun Land.

T.T. CHALLENGE
The Gold Keys to the doors of the T.T. Challenges are hidden in courses across the island. Conquer the challenge inside each one, and you'll get another piece of the T.T. Amulet. Complete this amulet and you'll qualify to compete in the ultimate race!

TIME TRIAL
If you bump into T.T. in the lobby during the Adventure mode, he'll turn on the Time Trial mode. Your goal is to get the best time possible on a course. If you achieve a certain time on a course, you can go up against T.T. himself. Beat T.T. on every course, and who knows what might happen?
