Track Type: Frontrunning

Best Shock Spot: Target shock at rope shortcut

Taking the ropes to the top path is faster, but there’s a risk of being bumped off if it gets congested, so don’t be afraid to play it safe and go through the marketplace on lap 1.

Arriving from Airship Fortress or Wario Stadium

Track Type: Bagging

Best Shock Spot: Beginning of final lap

There are grass shortcuts inside the palace, at the split path section, and after the marketplace (just before finish line). Keep in mind the split path shortcut skips an item set.
