42. Special credits: Win all trophies in a class to view the credits and see a congratulations screen featuring your Mii with Mario and Peach. Win all Grand Prix Cups to get another congratulations screen featuring your Mii with all the racers.

43. Golden Wii Wheel icon: After using the Wii Wheel extensively in all modes, a golden Wii Wheel will appear next to your name when you go online.
44. Quick Start: When the countdown starts wait till the 2 starts to disappear and then press and hold the 2 button. So the 2 must still be visible but disappearing.This will give you a boost at the start of the race.
45. Boost when recovering from a fall: When you fall into something, such as water or falling from rainbow road, when you land, if you hit 2 at the moment you hit the ground, you get a temporary boost.
46. More than one person can be the same character: First, make P1 choose the character you both want to be. Then unselect the character and move off of it. Move P2 over, and select the character. Go back one screen, then go into the character select again. You should both be on the same character. Both of you select the character. Do whatever you want from there on.
47. Defending POWs: If you flick upward your steering wheel or Wii remote, as soon as your hear the third POW, you will spin and lose your item but maintain your speed. Also works if you are off the ground (not jumping) from something such as a ramp.
