Mario Kart DS Mission 7-2: Reach the finish before Bowser. Use turbo boosts, power slides, and item boxes to navigate Bowser Castle.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Start the race with a turbo boost and stay to the right to avoid blockades.
  2. 2
    Avoid the Thwomps and grab an item box (containing Mushrooms and Stars).
  3. 3
    Power slide through the next couple of turns.
  4. 4
    In the rotating room, power slide to the far side, avoiding flames and the Thwomp.
  5. 5
    Grab another item box and drift around the spiral tower, power sliding at the top opening.
  6. 6
    At the rolling bridge, do not go on it. Instead, use your boost or Star to jump off the platform onto the ground below.
  7. 7
    Boost across the grass and head up the path, power sliding around the corner.
  8. 8
    Grab another item box.
  9. 9
    After the jump, boost across the middle of the moving platforms to avoid falling.
  10. 10
    Power slide around the corner and go up the hill.
  11. 11
    Power slide around the last couple of turns atop the hill to complete the lap.
Tips

  • Item boxes can contain Mushrooms and Stars.
  • Power sliding is effective on turns.
  • In the rotating room, be careful of flames and a Thwomp.
  • The rolling bridge can be bypassed by jumping off the platform with a boost or Star for a faster descent.
  • Boosting across the middle of moving platforms prevents falling.
  • It may take several tries to perfect the race and get the right items for a high ranking.
