Your ultimate guide to conquering Coconut Mall in Mario Kart Wii! Learn shortcuts, time trial tips, and how to navigate the tricky escalators and cars.

Alright, let's hit the Coconut Mall! This course is pretty straightforward, but there are a few spots where you can shave off some serious time if you know what you're doing. We'll get you through it like a pro.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    As soon as you enter the mall, you'll see two escalators going up. Always take the one going up! Ignore the stairs going down in the middle. Instead, head to the right, near the corner, and jump off the top of the escalator with a boost.
  2. 2
    You'll cruise through a plaza area. Keep drifting to the right around the corner until you reach an open space.
  3. 3
    From there, slip to the right and use another boost to get you to the final set of stairs. Drift your way up them.
  4. 4
    The path splits here. Going up and to the left will get you some item boxes and a big jump for a trick. Going straight left is a tiny bit faster overall. You can still grab an item box and a boost if you go left.
  5. 5
    Use the left ramp for a trick. Then, head right onto a straight section with cars. Don't ignore the boost panels here, but only use them if you're absolutely sure you won't smack into a car. The trick is to drive on the opposite side of the road from wherever the cars are.

Shortcuts:

  • After those first escalators, stay on the same level and go all the way to the right corner. You can actually cut into a shop here! Be warned, the carpet inside will slow you down a lot, so use an item (like a mushroom) to blast through it. This shortcut will pop you out after the second set of escalators, right above the plaza area.

Other Tips:

  • Keep an eye out for Miis! They're featured on the posters and advertisements all over the course.
  • Those cars blocking the path before the final corner? Yeah, they're driven by Miis too. Watch out for them!

Time Trial Tips:

  • The escalators at the start are key for Time Trials, especially depending on whether you use a mushroom or not. On your first lap, you'll want to go right, so use your mushroom on the shortcut. For the second and third laps, both escalators will be going left. In this case, use the boost panels at the corner and jump off the top.
  • Where you use your mushrooms is really up to you, but I'd save the final straight for a big speed boost.
