MARIO KART 64 GLITCHES

Get 5 Second Laps On "Frappe Snowland"
First, go through one time around the lap. Stop at the bridge. DO NOT GO ANY FURTHER OR IT WILL NOT WORK!!! At the bridge, run off the right side without touching the track ground. Stay on the "Out of bounds position". As soon as you pass the lapline, power slide right and get into the spot where you cant go any further. The cloud koopa will pick you up and drop you behind the line, go forward and WAZZAM!! One lap do it again. Make sure he drops you back on the bridge and repeat. My record lap is 3 secs. Amazing trick try it! And don't worry if you get a 7 second lap. It's normal for starters. When you get serious, go all the way. I'd like to see someone beat my record - 59 secs for whole thing.
Once you start the race you will go around a few turns. After this you will come to a ramp. You don't have to go off the ramp you if you want to. Once you land or pass the ramp get one of the items. As soon as you do this go right you will run onto a sandbar which puts you in first alot of the time and shaves off valuable seconds. This trick is safer than the waterfall one because you can't miss unless you go too deep into the water. Oh yeah watch out for the crabs. There aren' t many so they should be easy to avoid.
See The Princess' Castle
n the Royal Raceway circuit, right after land from falling off the ramp, stay to the right, and you will see a pathway. Follow it, and you will be in front of the castle. Although this only wastes time, it's just a nice thing to see.
3.Royal Raceway.(Not use heavy people) In expert mode Race untill you are at the ramp when you hit the boooster make a hard left.Not to hard or you will go in the moat. When you hit mountain side, hold control stick up, hold 'A' button, and rapidly press 'R'. and you are on the mountain ledge.
Try to beat this time: 1'30"00 to get the ghost to appear.
After you beat the above times, immediately RETRY and you will see the message "Now Meet the Course Ghost."
1. Press and hold R and the joystick while turning. (Left or Right it doesn't
3. (If turning left) Click the control stick right then back left. The E's
4. Repeat and the E's should turn red.
To race any course in reverse you must earn a gold cup in all of the 50cc, 100cc and 150cc races. You'll know you've succeeded when the title screen changes.
Start a race and watch the lights carefully. Press A as soon as the second light dims. If your timing is right you'll get a turbo boost that'll leave your opponents eating your dust!
Bowser's Castle Glitch
- BOWSER'S CASTLE -
When the race starts, go in reverse around the corner and fall into the lava. You will be put on the "island" with the item boxes. Try to get shells or a blue shell and again, go in reverse. You will be put by the loop. Go the correct way, and stay to the right, and stop where the course begins to straighten out and stop there.(the last little bend on the wall to the right) before the drop to the island. Now hold the shell and wait for the other karts to drive by. If you were in the right spot, the other karts will hit your shell and go over the wall and land back at the bottom of the loop. Instead of going foreward, they think they need to go straight and instead, they bounce off the wall. You can drive by and watch without coming in 8th place.
At the beginning turn around and go into the cave. About halfway inside turn around and just before you leave the cave turn a sharp left. You should fall down a black whole, you will the be picked up by clowdy and put onto the course somewhere else. If its in the cave you can go and pass the finish line and turn around and do it again. If it doesn't then keep practicing
On Wario Stadium, as soon as you start you'll go over four jumps. On the third jump start moving to the left hand wall of the forth jump, so that you are perpendicular to the wall. At the top of the jump, use the R button and jump the wall. This may take a while to master, but it is worth the practice. (Don't worry if you fail on your first attempt, try again because your opponents will not get to the landing point of the short-cut for at least half the race).
After managing to do that, you'll hit a little checkered ledge, and you'll see a big red and white sign on the left pointing right. This is the hard part. Accelerate as fast as possible and stay to the far right. As soon as the rail on the left side ends pull a hard left powerslide off the road. You'll continue the powerslide onto the upcoming road after you land, and if you do it right, you'll have shaved off at least 10 seconds or lead the pack. Of course, this one takes a lot of practice, but once mastered, it can't be beat.
Here's a massive, risky shortcut that'll absolutely blow the socks off anyone who challenges you to a game of Mario Kart 64.
Go to the Rainbow Ride Course, and at the start, before you get air on the big, long hill, take a wide turn left off the course and into midair. If you've got the correct angle and speed (which will take some practice), you'll fly through the air for nearly 10 seconds, and will land on the same course below with a sizeable bounce. While you're in mid-air pull your hand off the accleration and hit the brakes because when you land your speed will cause you to bounce right off the course.
If all goes well, you'll be so far ahead of everyone else the rest of the race should be a breeze (that is unless the cheating AI kicks in...).
Second, this course is full of sharp turns. Use the mushroom power-ups as you pass across the jungle terrain and though you'll be hit by coconuts, you'll still end up farther ahead than if you didn't.
There are more, but they have been listed separately, so don't forget to check them out!(like Wario Stadium and Rainbow Ride)
After driving through about half the course, your driver will enter the ghost house. Upon entering, take a right, but not as sharp as normal, and you'll pass by a wall on your left. Instead of aiming toward the bats, you'll aim slightly left and pass on the left side of the wooden pole. This might look like suicide, but jump over the edge of the star-shaped pool and you'll pass up that first-place player.
Go to the Luigi Circuit and race the course under 1 minute and 52 seconds (1:51). If you're able to do it you can then race against your ghost, "a recording of the course's best time." What's even better is that the ghost is permanently saved into the game.
