1. INTRO
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello. My name is PsyTom2000, and this is my first guide. My email
address is psytom2000@hotmail.com so if you want to email me, that's
the one to type in.
... Ok, I know it's like ten years late for a Super Mario Kart 
guide... but, hey, someone out there still playing their SNES, it 
could happen...
Enjoy!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
2. VERSION HISTORY
----------------------------------------------------------------------
V1.0 

Finished -- Wednesday, January 2, 2002
Submitted - Thursday, January 3, 2002

The First one.

(If you are easily bored, stop reading this section now)

There will be many updates, but the only planned additions are 'FAQs'
and 'Battle Mode Tactics'. The 'Hey can I just say some stuff...' will
eventually disappear, and will be replaced with... well I'm not sure
if it will be replaced. The question for FAQs will go to the FAQs 
section, the Battle Mode question will go to 'Battle Mode Tactics'.
The question for Tips and Tricks will go to the 'Tips and Tricks'
section. The one asking for Game Genie codes will go to the 'Game 
Genie Codes' section. The one asking for some fast times? It will end
up going to the 'Fast Times' section. The one requesting character 
preference line-ups will not end up in the 'Characters And How They 
Rate' section; instead, it will have its own section, working title:
'Character Line-ups'. I have a feeling it won't last long though...
When I get those emails, the MKSC references will go into their cups 
and the name of the game that I did my actual first guide on will end
up... somewhere. The little part stating that I'm Australian will be
added to the intro as a 'Post-Script' (or, 'PS'). The one about 
getting the night-time screen on MKSC will disappear as soon as I get
an email saying that someone has done it, while the one about the 
'group' that hates it how Koopa wasn't in the other games will be at
the very end of the guide. And the one about writing too much, that 
will probably end up right here. In fact, I think I've said so much
here now that I'll introduce it to this little section right now...

Am I writing too much?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
3. CONTROLS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A - Weapon
B - Accelerate
X - Behind view
Y - Brake
UP - Use with A to chuck banana in front of you when you have one
DOWN - Use with A to chuck green shell behind you when you have one
LEFT - Turn left
RIGHT - Turn right
L - Hop
R - Hop
SELECT - Behind view
START - Pause
----------------------------------------------------------------------
4. THE CHARACTERS AND HOW THEY RATE
----------------------------------------------------------------------
+-------------------------+
| The Heavyweights - 4/10 |
+-------------------------+
Donkey Kong Jr: No comment ('cause this ape sucks so much... hang on,
                that is a comment!). 0/10.

Bowser: At first to me he sucked, but then I found out how to use him.
        My third preference. 8/10.

+--------------------------+
| The Middleweights - 8/10 |
+--------------------------+
Mario: The star of the game, the red-wearing Italian Plumber, is 
       definitely better in kart-racing. The all round player.
       Good. My fourth preference. 9/10.

Luigi: He's ok, but I say his brother is better. 7/10.

+-------------------------+
| The Lightweights - 7/10 |
+-------------------------+
Yoshi: The green mini-dino is pretty good. My 2nd preference. 8/10.

Toad: Apparently Fungus here is the best character, but I just can't
      see how. 5/10.

Princess: Not that good. 5/10.

Koopa: Man this guy is good. He really is. My favourite. 10/10.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
... so basically my line of preference is:

FAVE------Koopa
No.2------Yoshi
No.3------Bowser
No.4------Mario
No.5------Luigi
No.6------Princess
No.7------Toad
LAST------Donkey Kong Jr.

(see 'Hey can I just say some stuff...' for more details on this line
preference thing)

                                   000

The first race in the game is so easy that if you lose this race you 
are so crap (no exceptions for using DKjr). If you get a mushroom 
boost then go across the dirt at the end, it'll cut 2 seconds off.

This is absolutely no challenge at all. All you have to do is go 
around the track, trying not to bump into the wall because if you hit
the wall that part of the wall will disappear. If you get a feather 
you can get a shortcut near the end.

The first castle is definitely the easiest. The Thwomps can at times
piss you off but it's not that hard. Put a banana on the first turbo
on the right hand side of that straight (you should know what I'm
talking about) and some other sorry kart will end up sliding on it (I
hope it's not you who slides on it!).

A bit harder than Choco Island 1 but still very easy. You can get a

I hate this. Ok, slow down on the big bend in the middle and you'll be
fine. (Gee, sounds exactly like what I said for Mario Circuit 3...)

DONUT PLAINS 3

Ok, I can't really help on this one 'cause I suck at it (or maybe I 
suck 'cause the track is too f%#!ing hard) but what I can say is, the
Game Genie codes really help. Or, just stay on the road. Remember to 
hop the gap in the second bridge.

9. TIPS AND TRICKS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
See 'Hey can I just say some stuff...' for details on this section

VANILLA LAKE 2 SHORTCUT

At the start, turn a sharp left so you're driving just to the right of
the checkered starting stripe and you're driving at the water. Hop 
just before you hit the water so you jump into the water. Keep going
forward until just before Lakitu comes, then go left. It's hard to do
but you know you've done it right when Lakitu goes through the line, 
puts you down, leaves, then immediately comes back with the 'Lap 2' 
sign.

BOOST START

At the start of any race, press and hold the B button just before the
first 'BEEP' and don't touch the D-Pad and you should get a boost 
start. However, it's hard to do.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
10. GAME GENIE CODES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, I only got 3, but they're really good/funny and they're only there
because they're useful and/or humourous.

(See 'Hey can I just say some stuff...' for details on this section)

4DEB-CDA4: Drive Anywhere (You can start, cross the line, then turn so
                           you are off the track area, then go back to
                           when you're before the line, then go back 
                           to the track and cross the line and that is
                           one lap. One lap takes about 5 seconds! Do
                           it for all laps, the track will take 20-30
                           seconds!)

C4EB-CDA4: Opponents can't turn (Very easy to win because your 
                                 computer opponents can't turn so they
                                 keep bashing into the wall, while you
                                 can go around normally! Guarantees a
                                 win every time!)

C7EB-CDA4: South-East 'Magnet' (Funny! Everyone, including you, gets 
                                pulled to the south-east and there is
                                no way to actually drive around the
                                course!)

12. HEY CAN I JUST SAY SOME STUFF...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If anyone has questions, can you please send them to my email address
so I can make an FAQs section for later versions? Go ahead, ask me
anything you like! (I'll make it so that if you want your name 
displayed under your question you can but you can also choose to 
remain anonymous. Although you probably want your name on here so you
get credit for it... get thanked for it... and you'll be famous!)

Can everyone please send in Battle Mode tips so I can have a Battle 
Mode section in later versions? (I swear you'll get credit for it)

Can everyone send in some Tips and Tricks for the 'Tips and Tricks'
section? (I swear you'll get credit for it)

Can everyone send in (useful and/or funny) Game Genie codes? (I swear
you'll get credit for it)

Can everyone please send in fast times for the 'Fast Times' section so
you can all compete for the best times?

Why don't you guys send your preference lines in for the 'Characters
And How They Rate' section? It would be cool to compare. In future
versions I'll put a Top 10 or something like that where I'll rate 
line-ups. That'd be cool!

This guide does not refer in any way to the SMK tracks in Mario Kart 
Super Circuit on Gameboy Advance, but probably will if enough people 
email me telling me to do it (I'm talking 15 emails).

My first guide was actually not this. Of course I eventually noticed
there were plenty of guides on GameFAQs for that game so I have kept
my guide and I will put it on the net only if I put up my own 
(currently under construction) web site. However, if I get 10... no,
20, yes, you heard right, 30 emails, I will tell you all what it was.

I'm Australian so please don't complain about my spelling if you are
not Australian. However, if you are Australian, feel free to diss my
spelling. And, of course, to anyone that's reading this, yes, you 
can point out other mistakes that I have made.

Email me if you've got all 3 stars on every track in Mario Kart Super
Circuit, and the night-time title screen, for 2 reasons:
1. It'd be cool to see if someone has actually done it.
2. I'll tell you the reason I like Bowser Castle 2!

Email me if you hate it how Nintendo kicked Koopa Troopa out of the 
other Mario Kart games. It would actually be cool to start some kind 
of little group!

Am I writing too much?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
13. THANKS TO...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
My brother, for telling me (before I saw it) that there was already
lots of guides for the game I was creating a guide for, and motivating
me to do this one.

Nintendo, for the game (and let's not forget, without Nintendo, not
only would this game not exist, but Mario wouldn't exist!).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
14.WHAT'S HAPPENING ON V2.0
----------------------------------------------------------------------
As I pointed out in 'Version History', the only planned updates are
'FAQs' and 'Battle Mode Tactics', but, that doesn't mean I won't be
doing anything else on the whole thing! Here are the other planned
updates (and what I'm getting rid of).

+---------------------------------+----------------------------------+
|         WHAT I'M ADDING         |     WHAT I'M GETTING RID OF!     |
+---------------------------------+----------------------------------+
|     The rest of the maps...     |'Controls' (who really needs them)|
+---------------------------------+----------------------------------+
|Character Line Preferences Top 10|  My line preference in 'TCAHTR'  |
+---------------------------------+----------------------------------+
| My line preference, in 'CLPT10' |'Hey can I just say some stuff...'|
+---------------------------------+----------------------------------+
|    What's happening on V3.0?    |     What's happening on V2.0     |
+---------------------------------+----------------------------------+
|  More Game Genie codes from me  |     Useless Game Genie codes     |
+---------------------------------+----------------------------------+
Keep in mind that V2.0 will not come until everything has been done on
the above table of adding and getting rid of.

Here's what you can already find from me (so I said this was my first
guide, ever heard of a REVIEW?).

they have to be there. See ya on the next update (I hope it's V2.0)!

15. CREDITS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Who created this: Me, PsyTom2000.

Super Mario Kart  Nintendo
Super Mario Kart Guide  PsyTom2000
'Am I writing too much?'  PsyTom2000

Websites allowed to have this: 

GameFAQs (www.gamefaqs.com)

Websites that may soon have this: 

My website, if I manage to put it up
(proposed title: PsyTom2000Games [www.psytom2000games.com.au])

If you see 'Am I writing too much?', a ripoff of my guide or my guide
on other sites WITHOUT MY APPROVAL, then email me and I will have that
person pulped...

...Well, no, I won't have that person pulped, I'm not that nice. I'll
just send them a little email saying, uh, I think it's 'Thou shalt not
steal' or something like that. Or, maybe I'll just send them an 
attachment that will surprise them (not a virus, but WORSE!).

I'll see you on the next update.

Thankyou for your time.
