Mario Kart 64 - Strategy Guide (Page 02)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Mario Kart 64 - Strategy Guide (Page 02).

25) Jump Techniques
Throughout this list, I've mentioned climbing and jumping.  You can make a
little hop by hitting the R button.  This hop an be used to do many
things, among them, climb and jump walls.
A) Climbing Technique
Just go up to a wall that looks good, hold the gas, and start hitting
jump.  You should begin to climb.  Unless either the wall is unclimbable,
or you have heavyweight and he's too heavy for that wall.  But most walls
that can be climbed can be climbed by anyone.  In certain places, you'll
need to time your jumps to climb higher, but mostly it's just "hit the
buttons ‘til your fingers scream".
B) Jump Technique
This works best in Wario Stadium, but you might find other places to use
it.  Right when you hit a wall, jump.  This should send you up and over. 
You have to hit, bounce, and use your momentum to keep going over the
wall.  This is easiest for Bowser, as he gains a lot of momentum.  The
lightweights often need to bounce on the wall once, to get their speed
down, because if they don't, they'll go head over heels and land on the
ground again, without getting over.  Practice, and you should be able to
get it right, every time.

26) The Spiny Shell Trick
This trick will let the spinies circuit the track, not blowing up, or
anything.  You need to park the guy in first so far off the track, or in
such a strange place, that the shells don't know where he is and continue
going around the track.  You can do this almost anywhere where you can
drive off the track, such as Mario Raceway, but not like Rainbow Road. 
Sometimes the spinies will go around in strange, crooked paths along the
course, like in Banshee Boardwalk.
