        Date             Version       Ks                  Update

 March 13, 2004            .86         86       Just updating my email!  Sorr-
                                                y if you were expecting a big-
                                                ger update!

 December 22, 2003         .85         86       I finished all of the course
                                                maps and I put the ASCII head-
                                                er up.  If you've emailed me,
                                                sorry, but I haven't corrected/
                                                added any new information from
                                                your letters.  Expect another
                                                update soon, I hope.

 November 28, 2003         .80         68       I have a lot more stuff added
                                                now!  I added a new section
                                                called the "Character Sayings"
                                                (code: [ChSa]).  I also added
                                                half of the maps, and I should
                                                have the second half done soon.
                                                I also added all the codes in
                                                the table of contents(long
                                                version).


 November 22, 2003         .55         33       This is the original of this
                                                FAQ.  I added most of the
                                                stuff in this FAQ.

===============================================================================
1) Introduction                                                          [Intr]
===============================================================================

Mario Kart: Double Dash!! for Nintendo Gamecube is the third racing game that
includes everyone in the Mushroom Kingdom.  It is one of the many games that
have branched off of a very famous person, Mario!  This FAQ will help you on
this magnificient game.

One major difference from this Mario Kart game to the others, is that you can
now ride two players in one.  This brings much strategy to the game, and it
may take a while for you to find who you're best suited with.

The two player setup works like this.  In single player, you control both the
driver and the thrower.  In multiplayer, one person controls the driver while
the other person controls the thrower.  You may be thinking that the thrower's
job is boring, but there are many things the thrower can do.  The thrower can
slide-attack into a rival car and spin that car out.  Also, if the driver has
somehow lost control of the kart, the thrower can slide attack a few short
feet, maybe preventing the car to crash, hit an item, fall, ect.


===============================================================================
2) Controls                                                              [Cont]
===============================================================================

Below is a list of the controls that you use, depending on whether you are
playing by yourself, or playing with someone else.

***Only Player 1 can make menu selections

---------------
Single                                                                   [Sngl]
---------------

L or R button- Hold this button and use the control stick to drift.

Control Stick- This is used to steer or to throw items forward or backwards.

Start- Pauses the race.  You can now view the pause menu.

Z Button- Swap Positions.  The driver is now the thrower and the thrower is
now the driver.

X/Y Button- Throw your item.

A Button- Accelerate.  Your going to use this button a lot!

B Button- This button is used first to brake, and then once you are braked,
it will become a reserve button.


---------------
Co-op (Driver)                                                           [Drve]
---------------

L or R Button- Hold this button and use the control stick to drift.

Control Stick- This is used to steer.

Start- Pauses game IF you are Player 1.

Z Button- If both the driver and the thrower are pressing this, then they
will switch positions.

X/Y Button- If you are holding an item, this button will pass it to the
thrower.

A Button- Accelerate.

B Button- This button is used first to brake, and then once you have braked,
it will become a reserve button.


---------------
Co-op (Thrower) [Thrw]
---------------

L or R Button- Slide-attack.  This is very effective when you want to steal
an item from an opponent.  To do this, go to the left or right of the
opponents kart.  If you are on the left, press the R Button, and if you
are on the right, use the L Button.

Control Stick- Use this when shooting an item.  If you pull back on the
stick, some of the items will shoot from behind!

Z Button- If both the driver and the thrower are pressing this, then they
will switch positions.

X/Y Button- If you have an item, this will shoot it.

A Button- Use it for a Double Dash!!  Before the race starts, if both the
driver and the thrower press A at the right time, then there will be a
huge turbo. This button can also throw items.

B Button- Another button you can use to throw items.

===============================================================================
6) Courses                                                               [Crse]
===============================================================================


                          --- Mushroom Cup ---                          [MuCu]

---------------
Luigi Circuit
---------------

This course is a very peaceful and very easy course.  I would recommend that
you use this as your first course on 50cc.

*Tips*

- Always listen for the Chain Chomp.  When you hear it, move to the outside of
the track so he cannot harm you.

- For 50cc, there is a barrier between the two parallel roads that have racers
travelling in opposite directions, but for 100cc and 150cc, there isn't one.
I recommend staying on the far side of your road at ALL times, because there
is sometimes the racer who accidentally gets on your side.

- Learn the drift feature on this course.  When making a turn, press L or R.
This will help to teach you how to use it.


---------------
Peach Beach
---------------

This course has a little more hazards then Luigi Circuit, but it is still
somewhat easy.  It's location is Delfino Island, Peach's favorite beach
resort!

*Tips*

- Watch as the shoreline falls and rises.  When you see that it is falling,
use the extra land as a short cut!

- Keep your green shells!  When a cataquack comes up to flip you, hit it
with your green shell.  This will cause it to flip upside down!

- Avoid water as much as possible.  It slows you down.


---------------
Baby Park
---------------

Although this course might seem the easiest because it's just a circle, it
is actually hard.  Many characters will easily be able to get ahead of you
because of how short it is.

*Tips*

- Stay on the inside of the track as much as possible.  This cuts off a lot
of extra seconds.

- Always be carrying an item that can cancel objects such as a green shell,
banana ect.  A lot of red shells will come flying at you, and you need
something to stop them if you haven't learned the drift.

- Practice again using your drift.  It will come in handy on later courses.


---------------
Dry Dry Desert
---------------

This course is the only Desert course in the game.  The course consists of
many things you must dodge, but if you know how it goes, you should be
alright.

*Tips*

- Avoid tornadoes, those worms, and the quicksand as much as possible.
This means that you must avoid it from many yards back, because the
tornadoes, worms, ect have a way of coming at you if you aren't paying
attention.

- Stay out of the quicksand.  Although the quicksand wont suck you in,
it can really slow you down.  Try staying out of the quicksand as
much as possible.

- Don't use drift on this course.  This course has too many obstacles
that might slow you down.

- Learn to use your brake.  Although you might think that the faster you
go the better off you are, this is definately not true.  Braking before
you run into an obstacle may prevent you from losing the race.



                          --- Flower Cup ---                        [FlCu]

---------------
Mushroom Bridge
---------------

Mushroom Bridge takes place at a very busy road just outside of Mushroom
City.  Although it may look hard, it is actually very simple.  The finish
line is on the Mushroom Bridge, go figure.

*Tips*

- If you are a beginner, never go off the course.  Although you may find
some secrets along the way, if you aren't a pro at them, then all they
will do is hurt your time.

- Stay on the outside of the road.  The middle is one of the biggest spots
where you might get hit by objects.  By staying on the outside, there is
a good chance you won't get hit by these objects because cars will
sometimes stay on the outside.

- Practice the course before you play.  If you know what to do before you
play, then this will definately help you out.  If you play long enough,
you may even find a few secrets.

- Don't Drift.  Any course that has many cars should never be drifted on.


---------------
Mario Circuit
---------------

This is the main course in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!  Keep your eyes open,
and you may see many bonuses in this course, like Peach's Castle.

*Tips*

- Drift as much as possible.  This is one of the best places to practice
drifting, so I suggest that you do it.  The reason this is, is because
there are so many curves.

- Be careful where you use your turbo/mushroom.  Since there are many
curves, it is wise to pick a straight-a-way to use your mushrooms.

- Stay in the middle of the road.  Many obstacles are on the sides, and
the last thing you want is to get picked off by one of them.


---------------
Daisy Cruiser
---------------

This course is located on a cruise ship that has set sail into the water.
It is set somewhere near the coast of Delfino Island, because of the
natives that you can see working on the ship.

*Tips*

- There are many turns here, but do not use drift.  The reason this is,
is because there are so many tiny paths that you might hit a wall which
will change you to the wrong direction.

- Hit one of the two life-savers before you go up the steps.  If someone
is behind you, they will spin out.

- Pay attention to the tables when you are in the dining room.  They
move!

- Shoot green shells from behind you.  To do this, move the control stick
back and press X or Y.  The reason you want to to this, is because the
paths are so narrow, that a green shell might come back and hit you.


---------------
Waluigi Stadium
---------------

Waluigi Stadium is very similar to a course in Mario Kart 64, called Wario
Stadium, and has very few changes. It is a very bendy course, and if you
look at the big screen, you will see yourself driving!

*Tips*

- There are some hard turns in this course, so use the drifting you have
practiced in previous courses to help you.

- When jumping off of a ramp through a ring of fire, do NOT worry about the
people around you.  When you get about 10 yards away from the ramp, try to
make a straight line through the ring of fire.

- The piranha plants that come out of the pipes are fake, so if you hit them,
you will not spin out.. but it will slow you down.




                          --- Star Cup ---                         [StCu]

---------------
Sherbert Land
---------------

This course is one of the hardest courses to maneuver in.  Snow and Ice cover
the ground, and many Shy Guy's iceskate throughout the course.  There are
also many ice blocks, that if you run into, will freeze you for around five
seconds.

*Tips*

- Brakes are your friend!  That is especially true in this course, because you
are going to need them on the ice when you slide around.

- Do not drift on this course.  The ice causes the drift to do some strange
things, so I recommend not doing so.

- Try and stay out of first place until the last lap.  I notice that most of
the Spiny Shells go flying through the air during this course mostly.


---------------
Mushroom City
---------------

This is one of the most difficult courses in the game.  It takes place at
Mushroom city in the dead of night, and there are very many cars on the street.

*Tips*

- One of the biggest tips to give to you is to follow the arrows, if you are a
beginner.  Unless you know the streets well, you may get lost.  That would most
likely ruin your chances of winning.

- Look for the mushroom car.  It is in this level also.

- Don't pay attention to your items when you are going against the traffic.
At the end of the lap, you have to go against traffic, which is one of the
hardest parts.  During this time, worry about nothing except for how to make
it.  Items are second priority.


---------------
Yoshi Circuit
---------------

This level isn't very difficult.  It is an island shaped where the roads are
shaped like Yoshi.

*Tips*

- If you haven't learned drift by now, then here is another good course to
practice it in.  There are many turns and most of them are simple.

- Wait until your somewhat close to your opponent before you shoot a red shell.
With all the turns in this course, the red shell might hit a wall or fall into
the water.

- Practice this course.  Although it's easy, if you haven't played it before
it may be tough.  Practice it on time trial.


---------------
DK Mountain
---------------

This is one of the best courses on Mario Kart.  You start off by travelling
up a hill.  When you get to the top, you drive into a barrel that bursts you
into the sky at 195 miles per hour!  You then make it to the top of the
mountain, where it is a long way down!

*Tips*

- Place your bananas right outside the barrel.  The person behind you will
almost always hit it.

- When travelling down the gray part of the mountain, you can easily go off
the road and get ahead.  You should practice this course before, and look
for the easiest route.

- Absolutely NO drifting.  Of all the courses, this is the one you do not
want to drift.  The turns are to sharp, and it is hard to not fall down.


===============================================================================
7) Items                                                                 [Itms]
===============================================================================

*How to get items*

To find items on the courses, look for the colorful floating boxes with a
question mark in the middle.  Run through it and you should get an item.  If
you want to get two items, then there are such things as double item boxes,
which gives both the driver and the thrower an item.  Below are a list of all
the items that are not specials for anyone.




*Green Shell*

This is one of the most common items in the game.  They go in straight lines,
and bounce off of walls and other hard objects.  If it hits a kart, the kart
will spin out. Green Shells can also by laying on the ground.  Do not try to
pick them up, because if you run over it, you will spin out.  Green Shells
can be thrown from the front or back, and can also be used to destroy other
items or obstacles in the course.


*Red Shell*
This shell is not as common as the green ones, but are pretty common if you
are in 3rd or 4th place.  The automatically aim at the person infront of you,
but if they hit a wall or other object, then they are automatically destroyed.
Red Shells can be thrown from the front or back, and can be used to destroy
other items or abstacles in the course.


*Spiny Shell*
Spiny shells are one of the most rare items in the game.  You will almost
never get them unless you are in 7th or 8th place.  When you do get one, let
it free and it will automatically hit the person in 1st place.  Not only does
it attack the person in first place, but it makes a huge explosion that will
cause anyone around it to spin out.  As of now, I have never been able to
dodge this item, but if you have, please email me at [email protected]


*Mushroom*
Mushrooms are very common items in this game.  If you get a mushroom, wait
until you are on a straight-a-way and then use it.  The mushroom speeds you
up for about 3-5 seconds.  When it speeds you up, it also lowers the control
you have on your kart.  That is why you should wait until you are on a
straight road or path.


*Star*
Stars are not as common as the mushroom, but they are easy to get ahold of if
you are in 4th-8th place.  The star causes the driver, thrower, and kart to
turn gold and any obstacle(except walls) that you run into will not harm you.
Your speed is also brought up, but not as much as what a mushroom would do.


*Banana*
Bananas are one of the most common items in this game.  When you get it, drop
it on the ground.  If an enemy runs over it, they will go spinning but they
will keep their speed.  Bananas can also be thrown forward by pushing up on
your control stick.


*Fake Item*
Fake items are another common item in this game.  Fake items look exactly
like a regular item box, except that the question mark inside is upside
down.  To use it, drop it on the ground where it looks like a item box
should be.  When a kart goes by, they will spin out of control and they
will lose their speed.


*Triple Mushroom*
Triple Mushrooms are the exact same thing as a regular mushroom, except for
the fact that you receive three of them.  You can use all three at once, or
you can spread them out.  But be warned, if the driver hits an obstacle, two
out of the three mushrooms will be lost.


*Thunderbolt*
A thunderbolt is one of the rarest items in the game.  You will usually
never get it unless you are in 7th or 8th place.  The thunderbolt, when
used, causes every kart except for yourself to spin out, lose its speed,
lose its items, and makes the karts,drivers,and throwers all very tiny.
Though, there are some ways that a thunderbolt won't effect an opponent.
These include: If the opponent is frozen, if the opponent is getting
shot out of the barrel at DK Mountain, if the opponent just got hit
by a certain item, ect.

11) Frequently Asked Questions                                           [FrAQ]
===============================================================================

Q:  How can I contact you?
A:  You can contact me at [email protected]

Q:  How does the code system work in your Table of Contents?
A:  Press Ctrl and F, this should bring up the "Find" menu.  Type in the code,
including the brackets, and it should send you to that area of the FAQ.  If
one of the codes isn't working, then please email me and tell me about it!

Q:  In your opinion, what is the best combination of characters?
A:  Toad and Toadette

Q:  Sometimes it won't let me pick what kart I want.  What is wrong with my
game?
A:  There is nothing wrong with your game.  It has to do with the characters
you have selected.  This is how it works out:


        _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
       |                                                             |
       |    Light Character  +  Light Character  =  Light Kart       |
       |                                                             |
       |    Medium Character  +  Light Character  =  Medium Kart     |
       |                                                             |
       |    Medium Character  +  Medium Character  =  Medium Kart    |
       |                                                             |
       |    Light Character  +  Heavy Character  =  Heavy Kart       |
       |                                                             |

Q:  Is it true that there can be eight player-controlled karts all in the
same race?
A:  Yes, but in order to do this, you need Broadband Adapters, an over-the-
counter hub, and LAN cables.  This is how it works:

Q:  How much memory does this game take?
A:  8 files

Q:  I received a pin number in my game's box.  What is it for?
A:  Sumbit this along with another PIN number of a different
game to receive The Legend Of Zelda Bonus disk.(see Nintendo's
website for details)

Q:  Somebody emailed me saying they were from Nintendo and they want my
PIN number.  Should I give it to them?
A: Absolutely not.  Nintendo will never email you asking for you PIN
number.  It was most likely someone from the message boards trying to
steal it.

give it to him?
A: No, but you can mark for moderation on him for Illegal Activities.

Q:  How many points to I get for getting in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, ect. place?
A:  You get the same amount of points for everything(50, 100, 150cc).
They are as follows:

Q:  How many times do you update this FAQ?
A:  As of now, I've been doing it pretty frequently.  Be sure to keep checking
for anything new!

Q:  "Hello, In the past Mario Karts there is a certain place on Rainbow Road
that you can jump a section of the track and practically be in first place.
I was playing Mario Kart: DD last night and I accidentally flew off some side
and went from 8th place to 1st place, but I can't remember where it was. By any
chance, would you know?"

Okay, so I just got this question in my email and I don't have a clue what the
answer is!  If you know where this section of the track is located, then please
email me at [email protected] and tell me about it!  You will be credited!

Q:  "my roommate and i have a certain affliction for getting the best time
trial times for the different courses, and I was racing today and I got a time
of under 1:13:00 for the baby park, and now i have a ghost racer permanently
embedded in the race, labelled "SG" and it's the 2 babies, and they are
insanely fast.  How can I beat them, and what happens if I do?  Thanks."
A:  The thing this person uncovered was an opponent called "SG", short for
Staff Ghost.  When you get under a certain time in each course(in time trial),
you are rewarded with these SGs.  Here are the times in each level to un-
cover the ghosts, and the time you need to beat them in:
