The options menu can be found by pressing A or B at the title screen. Recommended settings are as follows: Traffic Lane: Left Difficulty: Easy

The most difficult corner in the entire run is the first corner of Original Track's Stunt course. For this reason, Original is recommended to start with for quicker resets. Original is also the only track with other drivers--they are in a more-favourable position when Traffic Lane is set to Left-Lane drive. The Difficulty changes how fast other drivers move around the map; the positions are favourable when set to Easy, and the video will lag more when they are on the screen--getting past them quicker will save real-time.

There are currently four skips known in this game: Original Track's Draw Bridge. (Credit to ShesChardcore) The Speed course runs under the Draw Bridge, so if you take Stunt course and drive off the right side of the Draw Bridge's up-ramp, you can fall onto Speed course and complete the race from there. This saves about 8 seconds if done correctly!

Original Track's Stunt Loop. If using the Draw Bridge Skip, this skip doesn't apply, but figured I'd include it in this guide. It's a fairly easy skip, but not always reliable--it seems like it's best to go through it at an angle, starting from left-lane, and driving into the underside of the exit. If all goes well, you will phase right through the road, skip the loop, and save about 3 seconds.

Super Stunt's Big Jump. (Credit to Stormcrow56k for this one) Instead of making the jump, veer left with a small hop over the grass (hop is not required, but it's quicker to avoid slowing in the grass). This will skip a huge portion of the course, takes you right to the double-loops, and saves about 25 seconds!

Super Stunt's Final Bank. (Credit to ShesChardcore for this one) Cut into the grass about two dark-lines before the bank, and beeline it directly to the Finish. This saves about 3 seconds. The idea here is that you must slow down for the bank anyway, and there is less distance traveled thru the grass.

An Assortment of Tips: Cutting into the grass can be beneficial to slow for a turn, but can also be risky if you slow too much.

The double-loops are a scripted event--all you need to do is hold gas during the "movie"; no steering required.

Pay attention to signs with suggested speed--they are actually pretty close, but you can go a little faster than what is posted. In some cases, like the draw bridge of Original, you can go much faster than the posted speed.

This game favours squealing tires and, unlike real life, you can actually go faster when drifting in a turn. Don't drift too long or the game will spin you out automatically--try to let go of either the steering wheel or gas (or both) for a moment to reset the spin-out counter.

It's possible to get a "boost" on landing. It's not reliable, but revving the engine while in the air seems to cause this. If you get it, you will hear squealing tires after landing and your speedometer will max out. This can even happen at the beginning of Original track, at the crest of the starting hill, if you're lucky!
