"MKDD - DK Mountain great shortcut"

Just managed to do it 2 laps out of 3 (chickened out on last lap!) and shaved 10.2 seconds off my best time, hard to explain where to jump the canyon but below text should help:

The trick obviously is to be able to cross that canyon that the path takes you around. And if you position your kart right where the fence ends, pointing directly across to the corner on the other side, you can just drive leisurely over. Piece of cake, really - with glazing and all.

With a bit of investigation the point where to cross the canyon is obvious, even with virtually stopping to set yourself up right, hello 5 second saving per lap :)

Well, not much room to discuss anything now. I mean we've probably ALL done all the cups and the staff ghost's are near impossible to unlock.

To play Mario Kart...

where have all the MKDD players gone ?

Perhaps and friend or sibling saved a ghost of their race? :-D
They do that you know...

I once wondered why I couldn't fit any more saves onto my memory card.
Burnout crash replays were the culprits... hundreds of 'em! :-O

If you're sill stuck, go here and scroll down to the DK mountain map, it's at the place marked '4'


And, it's a small hint that most of you will have found, but if, just after you land from the cannon, you hug against the right hand wall, then you don't lose time on the bumps (where the item boxes are in gp mode)

hahahahaha

*turns off sarcasm*

No, i was playing as toad\koopa, andit was mario\luigi, in marios kart.

And i never drive as Mario.

Did it happen to be exactly the same characters and kart as you were?

What the hell was it then?

That obviously wasn't a staff ghost, mon frere

O.k, what is the point of staff ghosts? I unlocked two (luigi circuit and one I can't remember), and both were crap, they crashed into walls, the lc one even gets stuck behind soem trees for 1 1/2 minutes.

I thought they were meant to provide a challenge for you.
