Wario's Gold Mine

Wario's Gold Mine

Thin roads with no railings result in plenty of deaths in this fun but frantic death dealer of a circuit, so use wheelies and drifts sparingly and briefly. Purple bats will slow you down on entering the mine, so swerve out of the way to avoid them. There's a superb shortcut tucked away in the Indiana Jones-style mine kart section, which should always be taken - the karts will seemingly disappear off to the left at one point, while the course points you to the right via large signposted arrows. Ignore the arrows and follow the mine karts instead (pictured above), jumping over a ledge and into a hidden tunnel with three speed pads and a big old jump at the end.
