Master Mission 6-5 in Mario Kart DS! Learn the best strategy for hitting all 8 numbered gates in order, including item box usage and boost timing for a perfect run.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Right at the start, grab the first item box. You absolutely need the Triple Mushrooms it provides. Power slide around the initial corner and go through gate 1.
  2. 2
    Line yourself up with the ramp just after gate 1. Use one of your Mushrooms for a boost to launch over the ramp and pass through gate 2.
  3. 3
    As soon as you land from the jump, use your second Mushroom boost. This will let you easily clear the small gaps ahead without any trouble. Power slide around the upcoming turn and head up the straightaway towards gate 3.
  4. 4
    As soon as you pass through gate 3, use your final Mushroom boost. This boost is crucial for getting up the ramp and setting yourself up for a straighter shot at gate 4, which is located on the bridge.
  5. 5
    After navigating the next couple of turns with power slides, grab the lone item box in the center of the track. Use a boost as you go through gate 5.
  6. 6
    Power slide around the turn immediately after gate 5. As you round this turn, you'll spot gate 6 quite close to you. Line up with it, and as you approach the gap, use a boost to launch yourself across and through the gate.
  7. 7
    As soon as you land back on the track on the other side, power slide to the left and immediately use another boost to get through gate 7, which is positioned to your side.
  8. 8
    From gate 7, the last gate (gate 8) will be in plain view. Just continue on the track and drive through it to complete the mission.
Tips
  • The Triple Mushrooms from the first two item boxes are essential. Don't miss them!
  • Mastering the power slide will help you maintain speed through turns and line up your boosts effectively.
  • Timing your boosts is key, especially for clearing the gaps and ramps leading to gates 2, 4, and 6.
