I would also like to answer the next logical question. What is legal in Non-Shortcut Racing?
• Cutting Grass or Sand either on flat ground or hills. • Jumping unobstructed cracks or gaps. • Using preprogrammed routes that were intended by the programmers such as KTB’s tunnel. And to clear up things: At D.K.’s Jungle Parkway jumping the guardrail at the road that leads to the big jump IS NOT allowed for non-shortcut racing. The Koopa Troopa Beach tunnel, as stated, IS allowed for non-shortcut racing. At Yoshi Valley, the skip-the-hairpin trick IS allowed for non-shortcut racing.
