Yoshi Island
On the Island that is shaped like a Yoshi there is a jump. To do this you first should have a mushroom. Right after you pass the starting line and you take the first couple turns you will notice that you are about to go into a tunnel. If you have a mushroom you can use it to instead of taking the right into the tunnel go straight over the grassy area. If you don't have a mushroom you will fall into tha water underneath. This ius a very handy trick that can save you precious seconds on every lap.
