Totaka’s secret song

Eventually one of them will hum Totaka’s secret eight note song instead of their normal random grunt. Kazumi Totaka’s is Nintendo sound designer and has placed the same secret song in other games, such as Mario Paint and Animal Crossing .

Quick start

When “3” appears during the pre-race countdown, hold [Accelerate].

Using trams as a speed boost in Toad Harbor

The trams in Toad Harbor usually knock you out when you drive into them by accident, but if you are flying after jumping from a ramp or booster, you can actually use the roofs of the trams to your advantage. While in the air, land on a tram’s roof to bounce off it undamaged. For an extra boost, perform a flip.
