Cheats/codes, tips & tricks

Control the camera in Time Trial replay
In Time Trials, complete a course without hitting a pipe, wall, etc. or falling in the water/lava. Choose "Replay" from the menu. Using the L and R buttons, you can control the camera angle during the replay.

Save Ghost
In Time Trial, finish a course, and get a ghost. To save it, hold L, R, Y and press X. You should hear a coin sound. The track name will turn orange. Now to race the ghost, hold L, R, and press start on the "Is this OK?" screen.

Speed boost
Press and hold the B button a fraction of a second after the first light turns off for a nice boost to start the race. Works everywhere.

Data clear
To erase all the best times and GP data, go the the title screen and press L, R, Y, and A simultaneously. If you want to erase the times only, use the same code on each of the Time Trial runs.

Small racer
On the Player Select screen, highlight your driver and press Y and A simultaneously. The only way to change back during a race is to run over a Mushroom dropped by the Princess. Note: this will not work in Time Trials or Battle Mode.

Special Cup Time Trials
Here's how to access the Special Cup tracks in Time Trial mode early: Enter the Time Trials and select your racer. Then push Left on your controller to move the cursor beside "Mushroom Cup." Then press L, R, L, R, L, L, R, R, and A. You should see "Special Cup" appear below "Star Cup."

Race Ghost in Time Trials
On Controller 1, begin a one-player Time Trial. When you come to the driver select screen, press Start on Controller 2. Select a driver with Controller 2, and then select a driver with Controller 1. Begin the race by pressing Start on Controller 1, and you will be racing against a CPU player.

Flip-flop screens
Hold L and R while you select a one-player game in Grand Prix mode. Select your class, driver, and track. When you start GP mode, you will be at the bottom of the screen, in 7th place.

Ghost Valley lap skip  [Screen shots: 1, 2, 3]
In Ghost Valley 1, try to get a Feather from the Question Blocks. Then, when you complete a lap, turn around and jump off the track with the Feather, landing behind the finish line (check out this diagram sent in by $aVaGe DeAtH). Lakitu will tow you out, and, if you did it right, you'll get credit for another lap. You can get some extremely short lap times using this trick! For example, as seen in the third screen shot, I got a 2.84 second lap time -- and that was the very first time I got the trick to work.

(The screen shots were taken from Mario GP mode, but I assume this can also be done in Time Trials with regular L- or R-Button jumps. This is similar to the trick in Vanilla Lake 2 where you cross the finish line and then turn around and drive out into the deep water, heading behind the finish line. Lakitu eventually tows you out and past the finish line again, crediting you for another lap. This trick seems to work for every track that has water or a pit next to the finish line...)
ZSNES movies coming soon! :-)
