Use shortcuts to save time while playing Mario Kart 64 on the Nintendo Switch

The iconic Mario Kart 64 has some of the longest circuits in Mario Stadium and Rainbow Road. However, many Nintendo fans might know that these two circuits feature shortcuts that can allow them to finish the race within seconds. In Mario Stadium, they can veer left at a 90 degree angle on the first bump, and skip half the circuit. They can also hop back on the same wall and land behind the finish line, which allows them to complete a lap within a few seconds. In Rainbow Road, players will have to time their jump by veering off left at the start to land on the track below to forego a massive part of circuit.

Mario Kart 64 isn’t the only game with cool Easter Eggs. Players in Mario 64 can earn some items by punching butterflies found outside Peach’s Castle. But, the rewards are very extreme in nature as they can either win a 1UP or a bomb. So, players might want to be wary about that. In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, fans can create a fairy out of a butterfly if they follow them around the world.

Get a Bighead (But not in Goldeneye)

1997 title Goldeneye had a massively popular mode in Bighead. However, while fans can’t do that with Nintendo Switch Online, they can try it in another popular game in Win Back by pressing R, L, R, L, R, R, R, L at the title screen. Players can also move the 64 in the Starfox 64 Logo using the controller if they wait around for a long enough time at the title screen.

So, make sure you definitely try these Easter Eggs when you load these games on the Nintendo Switch. Hopefully, players can also try out other N64 games on the console with the arrival of similar expansions.
