Luigi Circuit



Luigi Circuit is the first course in the Mushroom Cup in the Nitro Tracks. This is a relatively simple course, making it a good choice to begin time trialing on. Its course abbreviation is LC.

Character and vehicle combination
The best character and vehicle combination to use on Luigi Circuit is Funky Kong and the Torpedo/Spear.

Funky Kong's speed bonus is highly beneficial due to the many straights on this course, with the Torpedo/Spear being the fastest available bike.

Strategy
Luigi Circuit is a relatively simple course. It provides the player with a test of accurate drifting (including soft drifts), alignments, and chain wheelies. This a course where, basically, you must drive as accurately as possible in every aspect.

An important point is to never use the ramp which cuts the second to last turn. Whether or not you use a mushroom, it is not the fastest choice in any way, shape or form however tempting it may be to use it.

The best shroom spot for this track is the last turn; you must drift to the right of every single pipe. Some players struggle with this shroomspot, choosing to go in between certain pipes.

Flap
For the flap, the first mushroom should be used to cut the first turn, the second mushroom to cut the third turn, and the last mushroom at the normal shroomspot.

Advanced strategies
The world record enters the shroomspot by bouncing over the grey coping, into the grass and timing the usage of the mushroom so it is used exactly at the same time they land from the bounce. This enables the player to drift out of the grass without significantly losing any speed, in some cases not losing any speed at all.
