About this deal

One rather controversial technique for extending speed-boosts on the Wii U version has initiate a drifting boost, then repeatedly tap the R1 button while pointing your wheels left and right, you'll dramatically extend the period of time the boost remains active. We've got the location of every single shortcut in Mario Kart 8, so that you can destroy the competition and shave seconds off your lap times. You'll notice an opening to your left as you approach the final bend. If you've got something to boost your speed, head between the bones here. As you approach the finishing line of this course, you can use the massive leaves to your right to cut out the last corner altogether.

When you approach the second frozen lake, look for a pair of coins just to the left of a big structure made of ice cubes. If you have a speed-booster about you, this shortcut will let you take to the skies in a glider and cruise towards the finishing line.

Aim to get up onto the market tents shortly after entering the town section, as there's a speed ramp up here you can launch a stunt-boost from. Despite this course being just an oval, you can cut the insides of each (read: both) corners with a Mushroom or other speed-boosting item, which will save you some time. This is another course where you can cut the insides of some corners with a boost, such as the final bend just before the finish line.

As you turn the corner into the second half of the course, you should be able to spot a ramp over to your right. You can cut out a big part of Yoshi Valley by taking the first two lefts, then speeding over the rundown wooden bridge. Watch out for a waterfall on your right, just after the first tight bend. Fire a mushroom to whizz through it and cut off a nice big chunk of tarmac!Watch out for the ramp to your left as you approach the big bushy white trees. You can use a mushroom to speed over the grass, get onto the ramp, then pull off a massive stunt-boost.

After using the bouncing baddies to initiate a series of stunt boosts, look to your right where the fence ends. You can use the bouncing drum suspended in mid-air to cut out the next corner, then speed straight through the grass. Look out for the ramp on your left as you approach the big bushy white trees. You can use a mushroom to speed over the grass, get to the ramp, and then pull off a massive stunt boost. There are a handful of snowy stretches with winding corners that you can zip right across if you have a mushroom going spare.

Shortcuts on DLC cups and courses

When you land after the shortcut above, look for a gap between the fence right in front of you. Drive through it to drop down a little and come to a handy ramp.

As you leave this upper part of the course map, look for the two towers that become visible on your right. Steer off the course sharply and aim towards them to hit a couple of ramps that help you cut out a massive chunk of the course. Don't forget to use the turning cogs near the finishing line for a little extra speed. Do make sure they're turning in the right direction though!There's a risk associated with this starting boost though. If your timing's either a little too early or a little too late, your racer will spin his or her wheels instead for a short amount of time before pulling away. Despite this risk, with even a little practice you should find yourself able to pull off this essential technique every single time. After the shortcut above, use a mushroom to blast over the next section of grass right in front of your landing spot. You can make use of another mushroom to blast across the grass on the first corner, and save a little bit of time. You can use a mushroom boost to cut across the grass just before the wooden bridge. Once you've crossed it, you can boost again to cut out another corner and get on the second bridge.
