Stealing someone's work without asking is something that FAQ writers get really
pissed off at. Stealing someone's work and crediting someone else for it is
PLAGIARISM! That is a SERIOUS viloation and I assure you, you'll pay dearly if

This extended find is for people who want to go to one point instantly. Simply
use your computer's FIND option and type in the given numbers and letters next
to the chapter/section name. For example, say you want to go straight to the
Introduction. Just bring up your computer's FIND and type in A101. You'll be

-------------------====================--------------------===================
Hello everyone. It's me frog here, and this is my (counts in head) twelvth FAQ
here on GameFAQs. This guide is simply a FAQ that covers everything about Mario
Kart: Double Dash!!, which is the fourth Mario Kart game. The first was Super
Mario Kart, a game that was very advanced for its time, with all the graphics
and crap. On the Nintendo 64, Mario Kart 64 was released, and that was a huge
hit. It was very fun to play, probably the second-best game in the series
(besides Double Dash!!). The third was released on the Game Boy Advance, and it
was called Mario Kart: Super Circuit. Unfortunately, I never actually got a
chance to play that one *gasp!*, so I can't say how good it is. But hey, it's a
Mario Kart game, so it has to be good!
Anyway, before I begin all the actual game info, I must tell you a little bit
about this guide. This FAQ covers all four cups in the game, down to the last
turn. If you're stuck on one specific part of a track, this guide will have that
part included in it. It will also cover, in the future, the LAN option, and when
the game becomes available online (Yes, it'll be online), I'll cover that also.
Oh and a big note: NO this does not cover the bonus disc that you get when you
preorder! This will only cover the actual game! Also, you'll need to know how to
use this guide, because there are lots of different things in here. The main
things I want to talk to you about are the headers. There are five different
types of headers I'll use:
===================--------------------====================-------------------
|                     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~                     |
|                     |%%%%%  CHAPTER/NEW SECTION  %%%%%|                    |
|                     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~                     |
-------------------====================--------------------===================
This means that there is a new chpater/section listed. No chapter/section header
will be in all caps, and I am not numbering the chapters. Why? Because as I add
more and more chapters to this guide (and that will happen), I'll have to be
constantly changing chapter numbers.
+====--------------------------------------------------------------------====+
|                                CUP HEADER                                  |
+====--------------------------------------------------------------------====+
This marks a new cup. You'll see four of these, one for each cup. They will all
be listed in caps.
