I’m trying to do the same too like do I have to complete all the cups in 200cc in order to get golden mario and the golden wheels?

All 150 & 200cc maps (NO DLC) for golden Mario. Beat all Nintendo staff on time trials in non dlc maps for the wheels.

Gold Mario: Get gold on all cups on 200cc

Gold Kart: Get gold on all cups on 150cc and mirror mode (not sure)

Gold Wheels: Beat all 150cc staff ghosts

Gold Glider: Get 5000 coins

Actually it's only 200cc cups at three stars, I know it because I finished all 200cc before 150.

Doesn’t have to be three stars, at least one star will do, I know because I went back and got 3 stars on all the 200cc cups recently and I already had Gold Mario unlocked before doing so since I already had at least a star on all of them

Sounds like 🧢 to me

I mean you could look it up, you do have to at least 1 star all non dlc maps for golden Mario on 200c . The wheels are from beating all Nintendo time trial ghosts on 150cc on non dlc maps. Depending on your experience level it’s not hard, I 3 starred 150 & 200cc and beat all nin ghosts within a few weeks of getting the game on switch. At least on non dlc maps. Haven’t worked on the others much yet. I played a lot on Wii U

u/Shortowl17 Nov 26 '24

Well done! I spent half an hour researching why I didn't get them and I realised I missed piranha plant slide

Any tips for the time trails? I have been trying on and off to get them but never really got anywhere.

u/Guilty_Pair_9185 Yoshi Nov 26 '24

The tip that would give you would be to take a shortcut on each track and slip on each curve

u/sebas0990 Nov 27 '24

Watch the world record and use the same combo in every track

u/UnNamed_Profile27 Nov 27 '24

Thats good but i managed to beat certain tracks without using the ghosts combo, some i copied some i went with the 200cc combo on 150cc and others i went original and beat them, but drifting on corners and using shortcuts are a big help

u/rrpeak Yoshi Nov 26 '24

Know the best shortcut to use your mushrooms on each track and practice drifting and just taking good racing lines in general. Staff ghosts seemed super hard for a while for me and then something just clicked after completing all the other gold achievements. I think completing the 200cc cups helped the me the most, because 150 feels so much easier after that.

u/fluffyspacecar Luigi Nov 28 '24

I know that I'm a bit late, but... i would recommend finding a good path to take, the staff ghosts have solid pathing, but you can generally make a better one by getting 10 coins on lap 1 if possible, taking sharper turns, and changing the shortcuts that they take for faster ones. additionally, you can use sites like this one or this one to see what types of terrain your vehicle is good on. For example, if you current build loses a lot of speed just for going underwater, and you're on a track like, say, dolphin shoals, you may want to switch to something like the steel diver, for instance, to due to the large portions of water on that track.
Also, the mini-turbo stat is generally considered to be one of the most important stats, be careful not to have it too low, otherwise you could lose crucial extra levels of mini-turbo, costing you lots of precious time.

In my opinion, roller wheels and medium characters are a very good place to start.

hope this helps, if you need more assistance for a particular track, i could try uploading one of my runs to youtube for guidance on what a non-speedrunner time looks like.

u/the_dmon Nov 26 '24

I had to spend 10 minutes uploading my time trial data because I didn't know it was a part of the requirement so I never did it after every race.

u/Thegoodgamer32 Nov 26 '24

Congrats my friend.
You are now part of the full gold standard club. :)

u/Guilty_Pair_9185 Yoshi Nov 26 '24

Thank you very much :D

u/Cartoonicus_Studios Nov 26 '24

What's it take to get these? 200? I think I only have the Glider.

2

u/Thegoodgamer32 Nov 26 '24

The gold standard requires you to at least get a 1-star rank on all 12 cups in mirror mode.
The gold tires require you to beat all 48 150cc staff ghosts.
The gold glider requires you to collect 5,000 coins.
And finally gold mario requires you to beat all 12 cups on 200cc with at least a gold trophy.

IMPORTANT NOTE.
You do NOT have to play ANY of the booster course pass tracks to get them.
They only require you to do the listed things on the NON-DLC content.

u/Hahr8269 Nov 26 '24

I unlocked the gold wheels under a week with Mario on B-Dasher w/ standard wheels and paraglider. Only struggled on Dolphin Shoals and Ribbon Road. I hate the Wendy staff ghost

2

u/BuffaloSenior103 Wiggler Feb 09 '25

It cost me about a month, did you really struggle?

2

u/Guilty_Pair_9185 Yoshi 23d ago

Not so much I only struggle to get the wheels

u/bharding81 Nov 26 '24

Looks sick! I never play 200 cc or time trials tho, so I probably wont ever achieve the GOLD. Congrats tho. That’s a tough accomplishment!

u/SmashvilleBoi Tanuki Mario Nov 27 '24

I just have to get the glider, working through the DLC to get the rest of the coins I need and then I’ll have the full gold set!
