I'd like to say that you CAN use the mountain shortcut in Bomb-Omb Battlefield WITHOUT being disqualified. The unautherized guide says you'll get disqualified, but I used it anyway AS HE WAS PASSING BY IT! That was to see if they were right, but he said at the top, "Alright! You've won this, fair and square!" (what a moron!) The Offical Guide (from Nintendo Power) recomends using it ("KQ won't stand a chance!") though. My tip that comes out of this: Don't rely on the unoffical guides, except the ones from Versus Books (they make very few mistakes, I only saw one real mistake in the Majora's Mask guide, they said you can win the contest by snapping a picture of Tingle, but they also said that you shouldn't bother with Tingle though and just snap the Deku King, so that wasn't much of a mistake).
Also, I believe you about the Shifting Sand Land thing that you said, but I perfer using the Wing Cap to get there. I don't like the Shiny Shell for that level except on the Stand Tall on the Four Pillers part. (Here's another mistake that the unautherized guide made: It said it states the safest ways to get the stars, but it tells you to go into the pyrimid the normal way here, go up to the red thing in the middle, jump down and grab the ledge, but going to the pillars and standing on them is safer AND easier.)
Was I getting off subject there? I'm not really sure...
Mario, Mario, Mario! What happened to Mr. Andretti?
