Copyright Information [CPYRGT] !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This guide is copyrighted by me, Arceus79. Gamefaqs.com is the only site that has permission to use my guide. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What are Power-ups? [WHTRPWRUPS] !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Power-ups are the items you get from boxes. These items can aide you in completing the race in 1st by allowing you to go faster to over-take the opponents, by slowing down the opponents, or by allowing you to successfully perform shortcuts scattered throughout the tracks. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Power-ups [PWRUPS] !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There are many power-ups in the game. Some of these can only be found in battle mode. However, I am not going to put those here. !!!!!!!!!!!!! !Turbo Boost! !!!!!!!!!!!!! A turbo boost is a small red canister. When used, your kart gets a temporary boost. These can be used to perform shortcuts in the game (although, you can get the same boost by drifting). When juiced up, you get a bigger boost. !!!!!!!!!!!!!! !Bowling Bomb! !!!!!!!!!!!!!! A bowling bomb is thrown in front of you to hit an opponent. You can press the item button again to detonate it where it is. If you hold down when you throw it, you will throw it backwards. When juiced up, the blast range of the bomb will be bigger. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !Homing Missile! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When a missile is fired, it will track down the closest player in front of you and blow them up. It will only track if you are close enough to your opponent. When juiced up, the missile will track down someone from farther away and will turn corners tighter. !!!!!!!!!!! !TNT Crate! !!!!!!!!!!! When placed, a TNT crate will sit on the track until hit. It will then get stuck on the person that hit it until it explodes after counting down from three. You can jump repeatedly when it is stuck on your head to get it off. When juiced up, it will turn into a nitro crate, which explodes instantly. !!!!!!!!!!!! !Static Orb! !!!!!!!!!!!! A static orb will be placed behind you. If someone runs into it, they will get shocked and their current item will be scrambled. When juiced up, it turns red and purple, and homes in on racers who come to close. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !Invincibility Mask! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When used, you will move faster and will be invincible to everything around you (except the train in Android Alley). When juiced up, the mask lasts longer. !!!!!!!!!!!!!! !Power Shield! !!!!!!!!!!!!!! The power shield is a temporary bubble that protects you from one hit by most things. It appears green. When juiced up, the bubble will turn blue. As well, it will remain until hit. !!!!!!!!!!! !Ice Mines! !!!!!!!!!!! Ice mines are chunks of freezing cold ice. When a kart runs into one of these, it will freeze and slide around a lot for a short time. If you hold up while throwing this, you will throw it forward. When juiced up, it will turn purple and last longer. As well, when frozen by this, a person will slide more than before. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !N. TropyÕs Clock! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! N. TropyÕs clock is a clock that slows all other karts on the track. It will also make all players lose their items. When juiced up, it lasts longer. !!!!!!!!!!!!!! !Tornado Tops! !!!!!!!!!!!!!! A tornado top is a spinning whirlwind of doom that tracks down the person in first. It takes down anyone in itÕs way, letting loose 5 wumpa fruit! When juiced up, it travels faster. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Possibility [PSBLTY] !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To my knowledge, there are some power-ups that cannot be obtained in certain positions (I thought I glitched my game when I pulled a clock in 1st). An X in a square below means that the item can be obtained while in that position. ___________________________________ Normal_Power ups__|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8| Turbo Boost |X|X| |X|X| |X|X| Bowling Bomb |X|X|X|X|X|X|X|X| Homing Missile |X|X|X|X|X| |X|X| TNT Crate |X|X|X|X|X|X| |X| Static Orb |X|X|X| |X| |X|X| Invincibility Mask| |X| |X|X| |X|X| Power Shield |X|X|X|X|X|X| | | Ice Mines |X|X|X|X| | |X| | N.

Closing [CLSING] !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All right, this is the end. I hope you found this guide useful. If I missed anything, please contact me on gamefaqs.
