Break all 10 item boxes in Super Mario Kart Mission 7-8 while avoiding fake items. Use map to identify real item boxes.

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, while avoiding bananas.
  3. 3
    Stay to the right for the first real item box. Use your map (fake ones appear as red squares on the minimap (a small map displayed on the HUD (heads-up display — the on-screen icons showing health, ammo and the minimap))) to check which ones are real.
  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 2 item boxes to the right and left, using the boosts one after another while avoiding more bananas further ahead.
  7. 7
    After falling, 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 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.
  11. 11
    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.
  12. 12
    On the boardwalk again, stay to the right to get the next item box.
  13. 13
    Use the boost and power slide around the curve, and go straight to the final item box, completing the mission.
Tips

  • Avoid bananas scattered throughout the course.
  • When approaching fake item boxes, use the map to confirm real ones.
  • Conserve boosts when necessary, especially when avoiding obstacles like bananas.
