Learning the courses is more valuable than chasing raw speed alone, especially the locations of turns, jumps, and item boxes. Try to land cleanly after jumps to preserve momentum, and keep defensive items for narrow sections where opponents can hit you easily. Speed characters should favor clean straight paths, while handling-focused characters can gain consistency through safer cornering. In multiplayer, staying on a stable line often beats taking risky shortcuts for a marginal lead.
