Complete 2 laps on Tick Tock Clock within 1 minute 30 seconds in Mario Kart DS Mission 7-3. Learn strategy for obstacles and boost pads.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Start with a turbo boost and perform a power slide around the first corner.
  2. 2
    Grab an item box (containing Triple Mushrooms) and use a boost to go up the hill.
  3. 3
    Travel around the left perimeter of the clock face platform, using boost pads to cross quickly without hitting the hands.
  4. 4
    Go down the hill and use boosts to get past the 3 pendulums.
  5. 5
    Collect 3 more Mushrooms from the item boxes ahead.
  6. 6
    Cross the series of 4 alternately rotating platforms by traveling in the same direction as the rotation along the outer edge for increased speed (this is risky).
  7. 7
    Boost across these platforms quickly.
  8. 8
    Power slide around the next couple of corners.
  9. 9
    Travel along the outer edge of the next clock face platform to avoid collision.
  10. 10
    Atop the final hill, drive onto the rotating tire moving in the same direction as you for a final boost for the lap.
  11. 11
    Repeat these steps for the second lap.
Tips
  • Starting with a turbo boost helps.
  • A power slide around the first corner is recommended.
  • Use boosts on the pendulums and the final hill tires.
  • Traveling along the outer edge of rotating platforms can increase speed but is more risky.
  • Avoid crashing into obstacles or falling off the track.
