Course notes
Gnarly: Climb vines and work around the blocks and Paratroopas. Explore pipes carefully and keep a cape in reserve for difficult jumps.
Tubular: Use the P-Balloons to stay airborne and collect the next balloon before the current effect ends. Dodge Chucks, lotus projectiles and pipe plants.
Way Cool: Use the ON/OFF switch to control the route of the moving platform. Stay on the platform and change its path before it reaches a dangerous end.
Awesome: Control your momentum on the slippery ground and watch Koopas and Rexes. Leave room to stop before gaps and enemies.
Groovy: Move past Volcano Lotuses, Pokeys and Chucks. A Yoshi or star can help clear groups of enemies, but check the ground ahead.
Mondo: Use the changing water level and 
flying platform to cross the course. Watch the Hammer Brother and avoid being trapped as the water rises or falls.
Outrageous: Advance cautiously past Wigglers, Bullet Bills and fire hazards. Use a cape to manage airborne threats and keep a reserve power-up.
Funky: Watch the timer and collect the green berries with Yoshi for extra time. Continue across the long course to the final goal.
