Need help with Mission 3-8 in Super Mario Kart DS? This guide breaks down how to collect all 20 coins, room by room, with tips to avoid hazards like bananas.

Alright, let's tackle Mission 3-8 in Super Mario Kart DS! This one's all about grabbing every single coin scattered across a series of rooms. You've got 20 to collect, so we need to be sharp and efficient. Don't worry, I'll walk you through it step-by-step.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You'll start in the first room. Just head straight forward to snag your first coin (1). Easy peasy.
  2. 2
    Now, turn left into the second room. There's another coin waiting for you (2).
  3. 3
    Follow the outer path as you move into the next room. You'll find coin (3) right at the entrance.
  4. 4
    Quickly turn right into the room that looks blocked off. Grab coin (4) in there, but don't linger – you need to back out right away.
  5. 5
    As soon as you're back out, turn around and head out the opposite doorway. Stick to the outer path again, and you'll find coin (5). Watch out for that banana peel!
  6. 6
    Carefully avoid the banana and turn into the room it's guarding. Coin (6) is waiting for you inside.
  7. 7
    As you enter the next room, make your way toward the left opening while grabbing the coin in this area (7). This will put you back on the outer path.
  8. 8
    Take the corner coin (8) here. Be careful not to fall off the edge – take it slow around those turns.
  9. 9
    Now, go straight ahead. You'll find coin (9) hiding behind another banana. Head into that room.
  10. 10
    Once inside, move in a clockwise direction around the central block. You'll pick up two more coins here (10, 11).
  11. 11
    Exit the way you came in. Grab two more coins (12, 13) along the outer path. You'll need to swerve a bit to get around some lines of bananas.
  12. 12
    Round the next corner and head into the next room to grab yet another coin (14).
  13. 13
    Finally, you'll reach the last room. Here, you need to go around in a circle. Do it quickly, but not so fast that you miss them! You'll grab the last 6 coins (15-20) in this final sweep.
Tips
  • The main hazards here are the banana peels. Always be ready to swerve or brake slightly to avoid them, especially when you're focused on grabbing coins.
  • For the corner coins, slowing down just a touch will make all the difference between grabbing it and falling into the abyss.
  • In the final room, the key is smooth, continuous movement. Don't stop and start; just keep a steady circular motion to collect all six coins without losing momentum.
