That's the dlc one right? Oddly I find that one easier on 200cc. There are a couple places that are 90 degree turn followed by another, and on 200 you can clear both of them in one drift, treating it like one large continuous turn instead of turn - straight - turn. Plus you can clear the ramp at the end without a mushroom.

Obtuse.....even hokey.
SNES Rainbow road on 200cc is very hit or miss. The right angle turns are perfect for power sliding but if you perform a trick at the wrong time it is way to easy to fall off one of the edges and completely ruin your line for the rest of the race.

200cc SNES Rainbow Road is actually pretty cool! I've only played it once but I was surprised how well I was able to drift around basically the whole cour--


--nevermind I'm done playing Mario Kart forever now.

Having 3-starred every 200cc cup, the courses that gave me the most nightmares were:
- Rainbow Road 8
- Donut Plains 3
- Neo Bowser City
- Cheese Land
- Yoshi Circuit
- Piranha Plant Slide
- Bone Dry Dunes

Today I learned that hitting someone else's boomerang with your boomerang destroys both boomerangs. Jury is still out on whether or not you can catch someone else's boomerang with ZR.

PRO 200CC TIP: You only need to use a gold mushroom once for it to start expiring, just boost once on a straight then let it run it out

Finally beat Crossing cup. Got 1st on Baby Park and godawful Cheese Land. Got hosed hard in Wild Woods when I got blue shelled while gliding and went from 1st to 4th with zero coins. Animal Crossing wasn't much better neither since I'm very unfamiliar with it.

It's a shame I didn't even get one star, I really need to find a good character/vehicle combo.

You can do this on 150cc too.

You need to be REALLY far behind. Rubber-banding ensures that you won't see it unless you basically park your car or go super speed and lap someone.

Yes and last night I learned if you have the star during an anti grav section, you can bump into another racer using it for a boost.

Speaking of rubber banding, its good to see lightweight AI characters still zoom past heavyweights on straight ways.

It's pretty rare unless you're far behind. That said, I've gotten it while in third place and had it drop me off just behind first, so it's not impossible to see it otherwise.

That's the line I always take. Nearly as fast as the bridge but with less competition for it.
