** Ludwig will tell you the only way to catch the Weasels is to play on Professional, but good luck with that - the AI race nigh-perfectly aside from taking item hits, and are inherently as fast if not faster than you thanks to their optimized routing. You have to hit the starting boost, never lose speed, ''don't drift unless absolutely necessary'', and say goodbye to first place if you ever take a single hit.
** The aptly named "Frantic Finale" cup which features two of the toughest tracks, Hawaii and Colorado. These tracks require you to do quick 90-degree turns to avoid falling off the course. LetsPlay/CrazyCommentaries took these on and one of the members described the final stage, Colorado, as ''VideoGame/{{Battletoads}}'' in a racing game.
** The GBC version features a set of driving license stages. Those are pretty tough, so lots of practice is required to get the best times.
