THE NINTENDO®64 CONTROLLER
The Nintendo 64 Control Stick uses an analogue system to read the angles
and directions of its movement. This allows subtle control that is not possible
using the conventional ✚ Control Pad.
When turning the Control Deck power ON, do not move the Control Stick
from its neutral position on the controller.
If the Control Stick is held at an angled position (as shown in
the picture on the left) when the power is turned ON, this
position will be set as neutral. This will cause games using
the Control Stick to operate incorrectly.
To reset the neutral position once the game has started,
let go of the Control Stick so it can return to its centre
position (as shown in the picture on the left), then press
START while holding the L- and R-Buttons.
The Control Stick is a precision instrument; do not spill liquids or place any
foreign objects into it.
While playing this game, we recommend you use the hand positions shown
below.
By holding the controller like this, you can operate
the Control Stick freely with your left thumb.
Using your right thumb, you can easily access the
A-, B- or C-Buttons.
Place your left index finger where it feels
comfortable, but not in a position where you
might accidentally press the Z-Button on the
back of the controller.
To play this game, connect a controller to socket one located on the front
panel of the Control Deck.

If you change the connection during the game, you

When you run over the Item Boxes placed on the course,
the Item Window will appear on your screen. Like a slot
machine, the items will rapidly cycle, then slow to a stop,

before crossing the finish line.

to take it from them. After using it, you will become
invisible from your opponents for a short time. While
invisible, you can safely pass through bananas or shells.
Green Shell
Triple Green Shell2
This shell travels in a straight line. Hit a
rival and you’ll cause them to crash.
This item gives you three shell
attacks. Hit a banana and you
will not slip.
Red Shell
Triple Red Shell2
When fired, the Red Shell will chase its
target, increasing your chance of hitting
an opponent.
Triple shells will revolve around
your Kart, making an effective
barrier against rival Karts.
Spiny Shell
Spiny’s Shell will chase the
Kart in the lead. Along the
way, if there are other Karts
in its path, they will suffer
the consequences.
Hit a banana and you will slip.
It’s very effective when placed on a corner.
Fake Item
This bomb looks just like an Item Box.
If you place it near a real Item Box, it might be hard
to tell the difference.
Items marked with a * can be used multiple times.
Press the Z Button to activate the item, then press it again each time you want to use the item.

Mario Grand Prix
You will race a total of four courses in each Cup of the Mario GP. You and the other Karts (a total field of eight racers) will compete for the best
combined rank. Keep a watch out for attacks from the other racers who can crash into you or harm you with items. Because of this, drivers who
have the best driving techniques won’t always finish the race in the lead.
Driver’s Points
If a player comes in fourth place or better, they receive Driver’s Points and will advance to the next course.
Place fifth or lower and a menu will appear after you reach the goal. Select RETRY to restart the same course.
When you play the 2-Player mode, if either player places fourth or better, both will advance to the next course.
Trophy
Banana Bunch2
Five bananas will trail behind your Kart.
You can place one banana at a time where you want.
Trophies are awarded to the drivers who have scored the highest cumulative points after the four races of each
Cup are completed. First place receives the Gold, second gets the Silver and third place must settle for the Bronze.
Trophies earned are saved into Game Pak memory automatically and will be displayed on the Map Select screen.

If you select QUIT on the Pause screen during the race, you will return to the Game Select screen.

VS
Battle
Two to four players can play the VS game choosing their favourite characters and courses. Players have their own screen
to watch, but to make the most strategic use of their items, players should check the other players’ screens and pay attention
to their opponents’ movements.
Your goal in this mode is simply to eliminate your opponents, not to be the first across the finish line.
Because of this, it’s very important to keep the other players’ positions in mind.

Rules
Three Balloons
Three balloons are attached to each player’s Kart. When their balloons have
all been popped, they are out. The last surviving player is the winner.
Popping Balloons
Part 1: Slip on a Banana, or collide with an opponent.
Part 2: Hit Shells or Fake Items, etc.
Part 3: Fall off the edge of the course.
Part 4: Crash with “Mini Bomb Karts”.

In the 3- or 4-Player mode, when players lose all of their balloons, they are transformed
into “Mini Bomb Karts” and forfeit the ability to win the game. Although they cannot win,
they can still collide with other players and cause them to crash. Mini Bomb Karts can
explode only once, and after that can no longer participate. A Mini Bomb Kart cannot use
items and will not be displayed on course radar.
Except for RETRY, you can select any of the above on the Pause screen as well.

Time Trials
In this mode, your goal is to just drive as fast as you can. There are no good or bad items to affect your play
as in the other game modes. Perfect your driving technique to score the best times.
MARIO KART 64
Saving to the N64 Controller Pak™
1. In Time Trials mode, finish your favourite course without leaving it to create Ghost
data. During the drive, do not press START to pause.
2. When you RETRY, the ghost will appear and race along with you. This driving data
will become the data that will be saved (if you reach the finish line before the ghost,
the newer data will be saved for the ghost).
What is Your Ghost...?
Your Ghost is “A recording of the course’s best time” played
during Time Trials. While racing, the driving data is temporarily
stored. Later, when you RETRY, a half visible character will
drive exactly in the same manner as the stored data. With this
ghost as reference, scoring the best time should be easy.
• If you don’t finish the course (or if you Pause while
racing), the ghost won’t be saved.
• If you take too much time to reach the goal, or if you
make severe driving mistakes (becoming trapped, leaving
the course, etc.), sometimes the ghost will not be
recorded.
• When the Ghost data cannot be stored, a message will
appear under TIME on the game display.
• If you select COURSE CHANGE, DRIVER CHANGE or QUIT,
the temporarily stored Ghost data will be erased.
3. On the result screen menu, select SAVE GHOST. If this is the first time you
have saved, the game data for Mario Kart 64 will be automatically created in the
N64 Controller Pak.
4. Select one of the two available files to save to. If the ghost from that course has
already been saved in either file, you will overwrite that file and the old Ghost data
will be erased. Remember, two Ghosts from the same course cannot be saved.
If you turn the power switch OFF, press RESET or remove or insert the N64 Controller Pak
while the data is being saved, it might not be saved correctly.
Error Messages When You Use An N64 Controller Pak™
If something goes wrong when you use an N64 Controller Pak, an error message will be displayed.
Use the following solutions for each message.
N64 CONTROLLER PAK IS NOT DETECTED. IF YOU WANT TO SAVE THE GHOST DATA,
PLEASE INSERT THE N64 CONTROLLER PAK INTO CONTROLLER 1.
7. Using the N64 Controller Pak™
Loading Saved Ghost Data
The saved Ghost data will be automatically loaded and displayed when
you select to play that course in Time Trials.
On the DATA screen, when you want to erase the Ghost data file
saved to the N64 Controller Pak, select the course from which the Ghost
is saved, and select ERASE GHOST. You will be asked to confirm with
the message GHOST DATA FOR THIS COURSE WILL BE ERASED. IS THIS OK?
If sure, select ERASE.
A course with saved Ghost data will display GHOST on the top of the
course map.
16
Switch the Control Deck power to OFF, then insert an N64 Controller Pak in Controller 1. If you play Time Trials without
inserting an N64 Controller Pak, you can still play the game normally, you just cannot save your Ghost data.
INSUFFICIENT BLANK PAGES IN N64 CONTROLLER PAK, GHOST CANNOT BE SAVED.
121 PAGES ARE NEEDED FOR THIS GAME. FOR DETAILS, PLEASE SEE INSTRUCTION BOOKLET.
Use the N64 Controller Pak Data Menu screen to free up sufficient space (hold down the START button while you RESET
the Nintendo64). Normal game play does not require this data to be saved.
