The 'Shroom:Issue XXXI/From the Mushroom Vaults

Director's Notes by

Mario Kart Tips
Hello! My name is Waluigi48 and this is my first ever issue of From the Mushroom Vaults!!! Today, I'm going to show you some tips, cheats, and glitches to make you the ultimate Mario Kart Wii Racer.

T.I.S.
This time on The Item Secrets, we're going to show you what you can do with a mushroom to help you win battles. You can use the mushroom to actually STEAL coins or balloons. First, you need to acquire mushrooms. Make sure there's an opponent nearby without any items use. Use the mushrooms and ram into your targeted rival at full speed. You then get one balloon or coins from him! This tactic works the same for stars. That's it for T.I.S. Keep on collecting!

The King of All Headaches
Ever wanting someone's kart to just flip upside-down causing brain damage? Here's how you can do it (to yourself)! Go to Coconut Mall and use any small character in the Tiny Tyrant. Go to the top of an escalator, and drive up the edge of the handrail. Your kart will flip over, causing major pain!

Shortcuts
I'm going to show you some shortcuts both obvious and hard to find! These will help you get first fast!

Maple Treeway Shortcut
If you wanted to get ahead from all that falling off ledges, here's how to get back in the lead! The best way to do this trick is if you have mushrooms. When the race starts, you will see arrows on the right side of the track. They're pointing at the shortcut. When you get mushrooms, wait until the next lap. Use the mushrooms to avoid slowing down from the heavy dirt. This will help you advance past many rivals and get you to the cannon faster.

Ghost Valley Jump
When you race on SNES Ghost Valley 2, you may notice a little edge on the fat turn of the track. That edge is actually a jump. You can go off of it to shave off time and get ahead of people. But you must have good speed and sharp turning skills to make it all in one piece. You can also push people off the track to be mean. For the not-so-daring, don't do the jump unless you have a mushroom on your side.

Character Clones
Had one of those days when your friend plays as your favorite character? Here's how to change the situation. Select the character you'd like to be. Press the B button and let your friend be the same character you picked. Press the B button again and return to the selection screen. You have two exact clones of the character you used. After you do one race, you will see that one of clones are sitting down pretending to ride a vehicle. That's a glitch of that cheat. It's normal, so don't freak out.

Well, that's all for this issue. Tune in next time to see if there are any secrets about Super Mario Galaxy. See ya!
