Koopa Cape

The pivotal tactic here is to stay on the water rapids that course though 90% of the track at all times, for a massive, constant speed boost. In fact, it's best to avoid the power-ups, the side jumps and all other distractions entirely and stick to that water like glue, mini-turboing around the corners as much as you can in the process. If the rotating electrodes in the underground pipe touch you, you'll be shrunk temporarily, so time your approach wisely to avoid them.
