===Bad A.I. in [[Big Donut]]=== | ===Bad A.I. in [[N64 Big Donut|Big Donut]]=== | ||
In local multiplayer, if a CPU is hit by [[Lightning]] before it flies off a [[Glide Ramp]], making it fall into the lava, it respawns. Then, after it respawns, it may drive directly into the lava. The CPU can repeat this several times. | In local multiplayer, if a CPU is hit by [[Lightning]] before it flies off a [[Glide Ramp]], making it fall into the lava, it respawns.

=== | ==={{classic-link|GCN|Daisy Cruiser}} Floor Drop Glitch=== | ||
If the player goes to the right side of the split path and stops at the end of the fence, they should then accelerate and hold right on the circle pad, and fall off the edge. If done right, the player should fall through the striped curb, down to the bottom floor where the tables and chairs are. Luckily they can go through the fence, instead of having to be stuck in the area forever. It is recommended that the player should use a feather-weight character and the [[Koopa Clown]] kart and [[Roller]]/[[Mushroom (tire)|Mushroom]] tires to do the glitch easily. This glitch is not patched in online mode | If the player goes to the right side of the split path and stops at the end of the fence, they should then accelerate and hold right on the circle pad, and fall off the edge.

=== | ==={{classic-link|GCN|Dino Dino Jungle}} Shortcut Glitch=== | ||
Just before the bridge where the dinosaurs head is shown, the Glide Ramp appears. If the player has either the [[Flower Glider]] or [[Peach Parasol (glider)|Peach Parasol]] (because they're light and get very high air) and goes off the Glide Ramp and skips over the fence line, the game will count that as a lap. The player can also cut across the portion of the rock nearest to the fence, preferably landing in front of the last small ramp. | Just before the bridge where the dinosaurs head is shown, the Glide Ramp appears.

=== | ==={{classic-link|DS|DK Pass}} Fence Glitch=== | ||
Upon reaching the Glide Ramp, it is possible to glide over some areas of the fenced-off area, many parts of which will result in [[Lakitu]] pulling the player back onto the main course. However, near where the out-of-bounds area meets the track, it is possible for the player to land inside the area and clip through the fencing at the same time, without any problems or Coin losses. | Upon reaching the Glide Ramp, it is possible to glide over some areas of the fenced-off area, many parts of which will result in [[Lakitu]] pulling the player back onto the main course.

In local multiplayer, sometimes, when a racer (can be a CPU or a human player) gets hit and the balloon pops, another balloon immediately respawns and takes its spot. This glitch is caused by lag, and the more lag the player has, the more often it occurs. The glitch does not occur when two players are in the same view area. | In local multiplayer, sometimes, when a racer (can be a CPU or a human player) gets hit and the balloon pops, another balloon immediately respawns and takes its spot.

=== | ==={{classic-link|GBA|Bowser Castle 1}} glitch shortcut=== | ||
On <small>GBA</small> Bowser Castle 1, if the player jumps over the wall into the lava right before the 3rd turn, Lakitu will drop the player near the second [[Dash Panel]]. This glitch saves around two or three second, and can be done without a Mushroom if the player drifts and jumps on the left wall after the 2nd turn and drives straight until he reaches the part where the two walls intersect. This is best done playing as a heavyweight driver like [[Bowser]].<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0ZrOJQIPXo</ref> | On <small>GBA</small> Bowser Castle 1, if the player jumps over the wall into the lava right before the 3rd turn, Lakitu will drop the player near the second [[Dash Panel]].

===Gyro Controls Camera Glitch=== | ===Gyro Controls Camera Glitch=== | ||
#The player needs to go to [[Neo Bowser City]] to perform this glitch. The player then has to go straight without turning. When they hit the wall they have to switch to gyro controls. The player next has to turn to the left a bit slowly and the cameras will go back as if the player is not using gyro controls. But, the player will be able to use gyro controls even though the cameras are showing the back of the kart. If the player turns around the cameras go back to first-person view.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFoIxwe0gw8</ref> | #The player needs to go to [[3DS Neo Bowser City|Neo Bowser City]] to perform this glitch.

To perform this glitch, the player must press both the {{button|3ds|A}} and the {{button|3ds|B}} buttons near the bricks of the tunnel's wall. They must then activate the gyro controls and spin around with the gyro controls or the {{button|3ds|Stick}}. While spinning, the camera will once again switch to the third-person view. Likewise, driving away will end the glitch. | ||

===Maple Treeway Shortcut Glitch=== | ==={{classic-link|Wii|Maple Treeway}} Shortcut Glitch=== | ||
The player needs to be [[Metal Mario]] in the [[B Dasher]] with [[Slick]] wheels and take the shortcut at the beginning of the level. In the part before the cannon where the player should turn left, the player should not. When going up the wall the player should then hold left and hop. The player might bounce on the floor and enter the cannon from a high altitude. If done correctly, the player will fly over part of the course and land by the [[Wiggler]]s.<ref>http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4F_tNEH35mY</ref> | The player needs to be [[Metal Mario]] in the [[B Dasher]] with [[Slick]] wheels and take the shortcut at the beginning of the level.

===Multiple Jump Glitch=== | ===Multiple Jump Glitch=== | ||
The player needs to go to [[DK Jungle | The player needs to go to [[3DS DK Jungle|DK Jungle]] or {{classic-link|GBA|Bowser Castle 1}} to perform this glitch. They will need to position themselves (near the Temple in DK Jungle) to face the left corner right beside the entrance. When they use the boost, the player will start jumping multiple times non-stop. The player will have to hold the {{button|3ds|A}}/{{button|3ds|Y}}button to keep their kart jumping. If they let go of the button, they will get a small boost and move forward. This glitch is hard to master. | ||
This glitch is most easily done in DK Jungle. If the player's kart is wide enough (Medium + B Dasher + Red Monster works well) The player must go to the last jump ramp before the temple and fall off. If done correctly, Lakitu will pick the player up on the last ramp, facing to the left. The player must hold {{button|3ds|A}}/{{button|3ds|Y}} the whole time Lakitu is dropping the player, so the player doesn't get the boost. The player must then keep holding {{button|3ds|A}}/{{button|3ds|Y}} so the player drives forward. Of done correctly, the player will be bouncing by the entrance to the temple. If the player holds up, the player will bounce lower, while if down is held, the player will bounce higher. If the player hops right when hitting the ground, the player will bounce about twice as high. | This glitch is most easily done in DK Jungle.

#At the very beginning of the race, just before the racers enter the air vent area, it is possible to be pushed through the guardrails by a heavier opponent. This causes the player to helplessly fall to the ground, as if they had fallen off of the course normally. Lakitu will then pick them up as normal and then place them just before the curve. | #At the very beginning of the race, just before the racers enter the air vent area, it is possible to be pushed through the guardrails by a heavier opponent.

#When finishing the 1st lap while the glider is still activated, the player can glide under the top portion of the track without using a mushroom. This shortcut saves just about 1 second, but it is very hard to pull off, due to the narrow opening. It will be easier if the player use the wind boost to the left (or right in mirror mode) of the finish line. | #When finishing the 1st lap while the glider is still activated, the player can glide under the top portion of the track without using a mushroom.

===Random Twirling Glitch=== | ===Random Twirling Glitch=== | ||
#In [[Piranha Plant Slide]], when going down the pipe to go underwater, the player must jump at the right time in the middle of the pipe. They will twirl around and cling to the ceiling for a temporary amount of time. Also, if the player uses a Mushroom and jumps in the same spot, the player will twirl around the pipe, and spin out for no reason. | #In [[3DS Piranha Plant Slide|Piranha Plant Slide]], when going down the pipe to go underwater, the player must jump at the right time in the middle of the pipe.

#This glitch also appears in | #This glitch also appears in {{classic-link|Wii|Koopa Cape}}, when in the underwater pipe. One should hit one of the [[Cheep-Cheep]]s that swim through the pipe now and then, right at the moment that a trick is done over one of the small ramps. If one lands on a Cheep-Cheep, they bounce off to the ceiling and twirl around in the pipe. Another glitch can also be done. While the player goes down the pipe into the underwater section, the player must turn in the right spot. Then, they will be flipped upside down temporarily. | ||
#This glitch also appears in [[Rosalina's Ice World]]. After the long turn right after the start, there is a corner with ceiling where the glitch can appear. One should be pushed away by a heavier person so that they hit the pointed top-right in order to twirl around the road. | #This glitch also appears in [[3DS Rosalina's Ice World|Rosalina's Ice World]].

#This glitch can appear in [[Bowser's Castle | #This glitch can appear in [[Bowser's Castle (Mario Kart 7)|Bowser's Castle]], but is extremely hard to perform. One must drive as far as possible on the left side of the large, spinning trunk and they should either use a mushroom, or be pushed away by a heavier character to bump into one of the steel pins that appear on the edge. If that pin at the moment touches the wall it is aside of, the player will get stuck for a couple of seconds and they will twirl and stay in the air stationary. They will fall down again when they have stopped with twirling. | ||

At the last ramp, the player must go straight, and cut the corner. When the player is about to fall over the precipice, they must use a Mushroom and hit the mountain above the entrance to the cave. By doing so, the player finds the wooden plank above the entry with the glider on. Also, if the player stays up there for a short time, [[Lakitu]] will place them back on the track near the entrance to the cave. The trick is similar to that of [[Toad Circuit]]. | At the last ramp, the player must go straight, and cut the corner.

===Streetpass Freeze Glitch=== | ===Streetpass Freeze Glitch=== | ||
For an unknown reason, if the player does not check on the Mario Kart Channel for a long period of time, when they attempt to race with anyone from Streetpass, the 3DS will forever loop a "preparing screen". If the lid on the Nintendo 3DS is closed, or put into Sleep Mode on the 2DS, the 3DS will show the same image on the bottom and the Top screen, with the top screen askew from the rest. | For an unknown reason, if the player does not check on the Mario Kart Channel for a long period of time, when they attempt to race with anyone from Streetpass, the 3DS will forever loop a "preparing screen".

===Through the [[Rainbow Road | ===Through the [[3DS Rainbow Road|Rainbow Road]]=== | ||
In [[Rainbow Road | In [[3DS Rainbow Road|Rainbow Road]], the player must drive on the second Glide Ramp to use the glider. They must slowly glide down and get under the next road. Gliding up, the player will occasionally cross it. | ||
===[[Toad Circuit]] Gliding Glitch=== | ===[[3DS Toad Circuit|Toad Circuit]] Gliding Glitch=== | ||
To attempt this glitch, the player must be on [[Toad Circuit]] and have at least one [[Mushroom]]. When the Glide Ramp becomes available, the player must carefully aim where the red [[Toad (species)|Toad]] balloon is. When the player just starts gliding, they must pass the bridge and then aim towards the ground (without actually touching it - the player just has to be close to the ground). When the player passes the [[Coin]]s, they must use the Mushroom and go up at the same time. Then the player will hit the face of the Toad balloon. While still pointing up, the player will then later hit the top edge of the tunnel. If done correctly, the player will become stuck on the top edge of the tunnel. The only way to end this glitch is to just point towards the ground or by pressing the {{button|3ds|B}} button. There are also some cases where the player goes through the ground when trying to end the glitch.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mS9C5MhhO4</ref> | To attempt this glitch, the player must be on [[3DS Toad Circuit|Toad Circuit]] and have at least one [[Mushroom]].

===Watch Through the Wall Glitch=== | ===Watch Through the Wall Glitch=== | ||
This glitch requires the [[Roller]] wheels. In [[Piranha Plant Slide]], directly after the start, three lines, one yellow, one red and one green, split the road in three sections. One should do a trick over the ramp and land right at the highest point of the yellow-lined road. If done correctly, the camera switches angles and the player can watch right through the wall. The effect stops if the player goes underwater after the road. | This glitch requires the [[Roller]] wheels.
