This glitch is most common in N64 Yoshi Valley where there are numerous multiple paths, but it can happen under specific circumstances in other courses such as Bone-Dry Dunes. Occasionally when a Spiny Shell is deployed and the racers in at least first and second place are in a section where there road forks into two, the Spiny Shell may initially follow the racer in first place and then change its target to the one in second place or the highest place out of those in the other path. This is caused by some courses especially Yoshi Valley having the checkpoint markers that determine the place of the racers being inadequately calibrated with the other routes, as players can see by going down the old bridge path in while in first place, drop a few places while in the turn and then suddenly be back in first place once the paths join up again.

To perform this glitch the player you get a Banana and get to the part in Dolphin Shoals where there are many Warp Pipes that generate wind. The player then needs to throw the banana in the right angle to make it be blown away to a tilted part of the course, if the glitch is preformed correctly the Banana will move on its own.

It is unknown how it happens, but sometimes when a Mii is selected the skin appears to be white with randomly colored lines. However, if a different Mii is selected, the Mii is reselected or the race begins the texture returns to normal.

Not confirmed, but if the console auto powers down on the title screen, it may corrupt the save file of the game, resetting it to factory settings.

On the final clock the player can drive onto the lower of the two hands. The player should wait until the upper hand comes around. If their timing is perfect, they can drive on the upper hand while the car is still being displayed on the lower of the two hands. This can be done with any character.

Very rarely, when gliding as a Mii while using a Piranha Plant, press the home button after about one half of the Piranha Plant's usage. Exit out of the home menu and return to the game. For unknown reasons, the game will crash, playing a strange horn noise in the background. The player will be forced to restart the game. This has been confirmed so far in multiplayer on Water Park.
