"Mario Kart 64" Mushroom Cup Trivia Quiz

Answer: Yellow

DK's kart is yellow, while green is given to Luigi (dark) and Yoshi (light), and red to Mario. There is no brown kart in this game. Kart colour has no bearing on how good a character is; it's just a way to distinguish between them.

Answer: A Hot Air Balloon

Straight ahead from the starting line is a hot air balloon with an item box hanging from it. There is a small ramp that you can get air off of in order to snatch this item off the balloon provided it's low enough. After this is the first corner, and then finally, the tunnel. Chain Chomps are not found on this course.

Answer: Moles

Monty Mole has been an enemy of Mario's for quite a few games now. His mole holes can be found all over Moo Moo Farm, where he'll pop up randomly. If you run into him, he'll send you into the air as if hit by a shell.

Answer: Nothing

In Koopa Troopa Beach, there is a long tunnel in the side of a wall. There is a ramp pointed right at the tunnel that you have to use to access this shortcut. This is easiest if you have a mushroom to give you a boost. If you miss the shortcut, though, you'll lose quite a few precious seconds, so be careful when trying for this shortcut.

The shortcut comes out on the other side from behind a waterfall.

Answer: Yes

There is a sand bar that connects two parts of this course that you can cross. It cuts across the entrance to the waterfall shortcut, so you can't take both, but this one is substantially easier. Do not take too long on the sandbar (try not to break/hit crabs), or else the water level will rise, and Likatu will come to rescue you, setting you back.

Answer: You fly into the air as if being hit by a shell

The train is the only real challenge to this course. Depending on your difficulty, the train could be either just an engine, or have a few cars attached to it. It goes around on a circular path, half of it obscured by a mountain. You can drive along the rails, but it's much faster to just follow the course.

The trick is to time yourself so that you don't hit the train, but that you don't totally stop either.

Answer: Heavy

DK, along with Wario and Bowser are heavy weights. They have poor acceleration, and sink deeply into sand and grass when they stray of the course (they decelerate faster, and have a lower top speed). They can, however, knock other racers aside with relative ease.

Answer: Blue

Toad's kart is blue, and red is given to Mario. No one has a white or cyan coloured kart in this game. These colours are just there to help differentiate players, and do not affect gameplay.

Answer: Toad would spin out

Toad is a light weight racer while DK is heavy. If DK can run into Toad with enough speed, Toad will be sent spinning as if he ran over a banana. If this tactic is employed during a battle, Toad will also lose a balloon.

Answer: False

The shortest course in the game, without shortcuts, is Moo Moo Farm. Luigi's Raceway is a medium length course, like most others, and shares a similar layout to Moo Moo Farm. There are a few courses with shortcuts, both intentional and unintentional, that are fairly small, but even with shortcuts, are not as short as Moo Moo Farm.
