Personal tip:
How do you regain your balance before slipping away?
When you encounter a banana or another hazard directly, you'll notice that your kart becomes unbalanced before spinning out completely. To regain balance before spinning out, release the acceleration and press the brakes (you need to do this before you actually spin out, otherwise it's useless). If you've done it correctly, you'll see a music note appear above your character's head, indicating that you've successfully done it in Mario Kart Super Circuit.
Personal tip:
How do you perform power slides in Mario Kart Super Circuit on the GameBoy Advance?
Just like in Mario Kart 64, you can also perform power slides in this game! To execute a power slide, hold down R to jump while holding Left or Right. When you land, you will slide in the direction you were holding. Release the R button after about 2 seconds and stop sliding. If you're driving straight ahead, you'll get a boost, a result of a power slide. It may take a bit of practice to get it right, but it comes in handy when trying to navigate corners or save a few seconds while racing in the time trial mode of Mario Kart Super Circuit.
Personal tip:

Once you have an item and you're scrolling to decide which one you'll get, press "L" a few times to stop the scrolling, allowing you to get the Mario Kart Super Circuit item twice as fast!
Personal tip:
How can I collect coins in Mario Kart Super Circuit on the GameBoy Advance?
Just like in the first Mario Kart, there are coins on the track in Mario Kart Super Circuit. The more coins you have, the faster you go. But beware, if you crash, you lose coins. So, don't be a road hog and try to drive a clean and fast race.
