Alright, just post here your shortcuts for the game, that you know. I'll try to keep a post up where it will show every shortcut for each course. Just post them with this format, so i know what you're talking about.
Track name:
Shortcut Description:
When posting a description, tell exactly where on the track it is (i.e. after first turn, etc) and how to use it, as well as what items you recommend, if any.
Collection of all the shortcuts is in the next post.

Flower Cup
Wario's Goldmine
Straight ahead of the turn into the second cave (the one without the bats) there is a ledge that all the the mine carts are following. It is extremely easy to get onto it, you just need to be carful of the mine carts as they may knock you off. Credit to Big A2
Coconut Mall
After the 1st escalator in the Mall, you can take a shortcut through a store before the down escalator. This saves time from jumping off the side of the escalators, and is also quicker. Credit to Delighted
Star Cup
Daisy Circut
Near the start you drive past buildings, just before the last turn before you drive through the eight with the statue of Daisy and Luigi there is a staircase which is in one of the biuldings which you can drive up and get a speed boost ideal for doing a stunt and getting ahead. Credit to Yoshi 1000
Maple Treeway
When you drive across the waving net near the end of the lap, go either left or right and you will come to a ramp. go up it and you will see a launcher that will give you a boost.
As soon as the race starts stay to your right. There will be a wooden fence then a big tree root, the entrance to the shourt cut will be right after that. It will take you right in front of the canon. credit to erodriguez4000
Special Cup
Rainbow Road
When you get to the part with the two rings in the middle after the second if you use a mushroom over the gap you will go flying onto another part of the track saving 2 or 3 seconds.
PS: This will take a few times to master.

Bananna Cup
DS Delfino Square
Before the last turn towards the bridge, there is an opening between two buildings. It is muddy on the track there so a Mushroom or Starman is advised. Remember that if you used a mushroom, after you come out of the shortcut you will have to slow down a tad to avoid falling of the edge.-Credit to Big A2
After the area where the houses are (where you can choose to go straight onwards or to the left route) there is a bridge. When you get there, before you reach the bridge turn left and use a mushroom or starman (needed!). You will jump off a ramp and land on a port-like area on the other side. From there, go up the ramp and you are at the corner. Credit to Demonology

Want real strategy? Watch the world record ghosts on whatever courses you're having trouble on.

except that if you're having trouble on them, you probably are going to have trouble keeping up with the ghost. I tried it, it doesn't work.
