Coconut Mall

Coconut Mall

Coconut Mall offers a ton of differing and meandering routes, but following these instructions carefully should net you the fastest time possible. Be particularly mindful of the various escalators on this course though, always making sure to ride the ones travelling up (they'll alternate between laps). After the first such escalator, you should swing a hard left for a series of speed pads, unless that is you happen to be endowed with a Mushroom or Star boost. If so, swing a hard right instead and cut through the open shop (named Delfino Dream) for a superior shortcut. Note the shop's carpet will slow you down if you're boost-less.

If on the lower level, be sure to hit the fountain in the main mall head-on as it'll launch you high into the air, nabbing some power-ups in the process. Avoid the similar looking fountain in the outside courtyard however, and swing another hard left instead, for a hidden speed pad and an associated power-up.

It's best to take the metal stairway when faced with yet another split path on the upper level, which'll lead you off a massive jump catered with loads of additional power-ups. Hugging the left as you launch here will see you hit a second ramp the second you land as well.

Nailing the final run of three speed pads is tricky due to the Miis backing their cars up, but if you're sneaky you can clip the edges of these pads and avoid the cars entirely for a turbo-charged blaze to the finish line.
