Selecting GP Courses in Time Trials

When you have a saved game of Super Mario Galaxy on your Wii, select any character and play 50 courses on time trial. This will not work if you don't have a saved file of Super Mario Galaxy. Good luck and have fun!

Tips For Beating Ghost Data
These are a few ways to help you beat that ghost:
1. Watch the Video first. It might have a few secrets.
2. Use your mushrooms wisely. I like to use one per lap, and sometimes the track will be all curvy, but if you use a schroom, you can zoom through the grass.
3. Use bikes instead of karts, that way you can get a boost from wheelies when you can.

Stop a Blue Shell on Rainbow Road
If you are about to be hit by a blue shell on Rainbow Road, when you go into the Star Cannon the blue shell goes away. In other levels with cannons this is not so.

Avoiding Red Shells
When you are about to get hit by a red shell, throw a banana, green shell or a red shell backwards to stop it.

Escape A Blue Shell
Getting away from blue shell's is tricky. If you have a mushroom, use it just as the shell is hitting you. It's hard to time exactly right, so practice.

Lessing Effect of POW Blocks
If you look at the picture of a Pow block on your screen when you are about to get hit by one: it goes normal, gets squashed a bit, then you spin round. If you do a wheelie just before you spin, it won't slow you down as much. (You will still use your items, though)

Boost After A Fall
If you run into something, like water or falling out of the track, if you hit 2 the moment you're placed back on the ground, you'll receive a quick boost.

When the countdown starts wait till the 2 starts to disappear and then press and hold the 2 button to get a short boost at the beginning of the race.
