Powerful boosts in crash zones 
This trick works in one player and two player modes. When you are doing the 
crash zones, at the start immediately hold R for a boost. After a few seconds, 
press it again. This should give you more boost, which results in a faster speed 
and better crashes. Repeat this as many times as desired.


Avoid loss of perfect record 
When trying to achieve all gold medals in championship mode, if you fail to win 
one of the races, reset the system before it auto-saves. You can then choose to 
continue the championship and restart at the race you failed to win, without having 
to replay (and win) all the previous races.
