Quick Links
The third track in the Mushroom Cup Grand Prix inMario Kart World, Whistlestop Summit, is a course with a lot of curvy roads and some significant shortcuts. Whistlestop Summit also features a grindable railroad throughout much of the track, which allows players tocut tight corners and build boostat the same time.
To get through many shortcuts in the game, you must have some kind of boost item in hand,like a Dash Mushroom or Golden Mushroom. To use every Whistlestop Summit shortcut,Mario Kart Worldplayers will also need to find and use a Feather to jump over a gap about halfway through the course.
Every Whistlestop Summit Shortcut In Mario Kart World
All Shortcuts In Whistlestop Summit
At the very start of Whistlestop Summit,Mario Kart Worldplayers will see a railroad to the left of the course. There are several points in the course where it is advantageous to grind the railroad instead of taking the road, and this first shortcut in Whistlestop Summit is one such spot.
If you start on the center or right side of the starting pack, you’ll find it difficult to get to this shortcut on the first lap, as there is only a small gap to enter the railroad. Players who start the race on the left side can enter this shortcut immediately, but even in later laps, it serves as a way to cut a second or two on the first corner.
Perform frontflip tricksto gain a small forward boost while grinding, but be careful not to fly off the rail.
Shortcut #2: Boost Through The Corner On The Third Turn
On the third turn in the race, just before the big loop-de-loop in the top right of the course, the road will veer right around a small grassy area separated by a rocky plinth.
If you have a boost item, you’re able to cut this corner and propel yourself through this grassy area. Be careful doing this, though, as the track sharply veers to the left immediately after you get back on the road.
Shortcut #3: Feather Jump To Skip The Second U-Turn
Immedately after the second shortcut, the track loops back on itself and heads southward. The track wraps around a chasm, which is wide enough that you cannot Charge Jump over it to cut the corner.
However, if you have a Feather item, you can use it while drifting sharply to the left to cut a significant portion of the top-right most corner.
This is a very tricky shortcut to pull off inMario Kart World, especially because it requires a specific item, but also because your aim must be precise to make the gap.
Shortcut #4: Grind Rails For Easy Boosts In The Last Half Of The Course
After the loop-de-loop with the second and third shortcuts, the track will head south and intertwine with the railroad. Just like at the start of the course, you can drive onto this railroad to immediately begin grinding it, building boost, and avoiding having to drift and maneuver around other racers.
Jump off the railroad before it converges back with the track to trigger your boost andbegin drifting around the final corner. If you pull off the timing right, you will continuously boost through to the end of the course.
