Race against the clock to set speed records in Super Mario Kart Time Trials. Race your ghost and share data with others.

The Time Trials mode in Super Mario Kart lets you race on any available track against the clock to set a speed record. After completing a race on a course, you can race against your ghost (a representation of your previous performance) on the same track. This allows you to attempt to beat your prior record. You can also send and receive ghost data from other players if you connect to them.

Tips
  • Focus on learning the optimal racing lines for each track to shave off seconds.
  • Experiment with different karts or characters if available to see which performs best in Time Trials.
  • Practice racing your ghost repeatedly to identify specific sections where you can improve.
  • If you connect with other players, compare ghost data to learn advanced techniques.
