Trade Parts
Ever wonder how you could get a CPU winner to trade you something for something when he takes a part away from you? Well, go to the title page and press start when you turn on your system and select "OPTIONS". Move your control stick until "PARTS OPTIONS" is highlighted and press the A button twice. Leave "STEAL PARTS" on and turn "TRADE PARTS/SWAP PARTS" on. Now, the CPUs will steal one of your parts (and sometimes none) and no matter what will give you something of his.
Turbo Start
Right before starting the race, press the gas button when the last light is about to turn green. If you are playing one player mode and seem to have a hard time starting off, rev the engine until it gets close to 5. Once it starts you off, you should get a faster start.
