When you enter the huge area with the sand worms and mounds with boxes on, look to the right of the 3 sand worms near the end, you'll see a sign that says "Sunshine Parts". (If you have mushrooms at this part they will be needed for the shortcut to be of use, because without it you'll slow yourself down even more than without the shortcut).
Right, back to the sign, all you need to do is to boost just b4 you go under the sign to zoom right under and to the home straight of the main path, cutting off a few seconds on each lap.

The vans do nothing, I was just stating they were an even nicer touch than the Sunshine Parts banner. Oh, and it turns out it's Moo Moo Farm. Which I should have remembered.

Pyscho, the DDD shortcut is an old one, trouble is that you really need to use 2 mushrooms otherwise you lose too much speed, another good place to use one on this track is to cut straight through the S-Bend near the start of the lap.

The Mushroom car trick works on Time trials, you'll be glad to know.

Oh and the Lon Lon farm level was on Mario kart 64, I know because i was on that level just yesterday with my mates on the old n64 he's recently re-bought.

What do you do with those? and the name Lon Lon farm was the name of the Ranch in Ocarina of Time too.
I know that on any car levels if you bump into a mushroom car a mushroom appears on the track, but another car trick?
