Choose the season on the Animal Crossing track
When starting a race on the Animal Crossing track while playing offline in any mode other than time trials, hold one of the four shoulder buttons (L for Spring, R for Summer, ZL for Fall, or ZR for Winter) to choose the season the track appears as.
1: You need two Joy-Cons, two single ones are ok, you get two if you buy the Switch.
2: Select Multiplayer mode, then select 2 players.
3: Select VS Race
4: It doesnt matter which Character or Vehicle you choose, one that got Speed AND Accelerationwould be good (like Mario)
5: While setting up your Vehicles, press the + or - on each controller and make sure the settings are like this:
-- Auto Steering: ON
-- Control: Joystick (motion control will NOT work)
-- Auto Accelerate: ON
6: After setting up the Karts, the next screen takes you to race settings. Select 200cc Race at the very top, and then copy the setting below:
-- Teams: No Teams
-- Items: No Items
-- COM: No COM
-- COM Vehicles: All Vehicles
-- Courses: Choose
-- Race Count: 48 Races (this number can change, however, 48 is ideal if you will be coin farming for an hour or two)
7: After this, it is time to pick the track. Select either Mute City (last track in the Egg Cup) or Big Blue (last track in the Bell Cup) and start the race.
8: At this point, you can set both controllers down and let the game do the rest.
Each race takes about 2 minutes & 30 seconds so you can complete a cup about every 10 minutes. I hope you enjoy this and go get yourself that Gold Glider!

Lower the music volume, and go to a race that features Yoshi spectators in the crowd. They can be found at Donut Plains 3, Sweet Sweet Island, and the Yoshi Circuit in DLC 1. Eventually one of them will hum Totaka's secret eight note song instead of their normal random grunt. Kazumi Totaka's is Nintendo sound designer and has placed the same secret song in other games, such as Mario Paint and Animal Crossing.
Turbo Boost at Start of Race
To get a turbo boost at the start of a race, simply wait until the number 2 in the countdown appears, then hold A until the race begins. If done right, you will receive a turbo boost as soon as the race starts.
Using trams as a speed boost in Toad Harbor
The trams in Toad Harbor usually knock you out when you drive into them by accident, but if you are flying after jumping from a ramp or booster, you can actually use the roofs of the trams to your advantage. While in the air, land on a tram's roof to bounce off it undamaged. For an extra boost, perform a flip.
