Break all 10 item boxes while avoiding Fake Items in Mario Kart DS Mission 7-8. Use your map to identify fake items.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Get a turbo boost from the start and power slide around the first corner.
  2. 2
    Do the same for the second turn, avoiding the bananas.
  3. 3
    Stay to the right for the first real item box. Use your map (minimap) to check which ones are real; fake ones appear as red squares.
  4. 4
    Power slide around the wide turn ahead, then use a Mushroom boost.
  5. 5
    After the second item box (to the left), use the boost and avoid the bananas at the curve ahead.
  6. 6
    Get the next two item boxes to the right and left, using the boosts one after another while avoiding more bananas further ahead.
  7. 7
    After the fall, grab the left item box and power slide around the turn, then use the boost.
  8. 8
    Grab the fifth item box and take the left side around the wall, avoiding the numerous bananas without using your boost.
  9. 9
    Hop over the gap to the left where the hole is smallest and turn to get item box #6.
  10. 10
    Boost across the room and drift around the wall into the second room. There is a whole row of fake item boxes; drift around the curves and slow down if needed to get the next item box behind the column.
  11. 11
    On the boardwalk again, stay to the right to get the next item box.
  12. 12
    Use the boost and power slide around the curve, and go straight to the final item box, completing the mission.
Tips
  • Use your map (minimap) to distinguish real item boxes from fake ones, which appear as red squares.
  • Power sliding and using turbo boosts effectively will help you maintain speed.
  • Be mindful of banana peels scattered throughout the track, especially when avoiding fake item boxes.
  • Do not use your boost when navigating the section with many bananas around the wall after the fifth item box.
  • Slow down if necessary when approaching the row of fake item boxes in the second room to safely acquire the real item box behind the column.
