Guide Note

The Grumble Volcano shortcut is one of the biggest shortcuts on a course in the game Mario Kart Wii, and it can only be achieved by having at least one mushroom. By using the shortcut, a player can complete the course in under 30 seconds. While it was initially recognized as legitimate on the Mario Kart Wii Channel, Nintendo has since deleted times that are suspicious.

1. At the start, do not boost. Instead, turn left and use a mushroom to reach the mountain. You will need to jump drift at the moment the mushroom is used.
2. Travel the mountain counter clockwise, taking the outer end of the mountain trail. There is a small cavern on the right side of the mountain that must be passed in order for the lap to count.
3. On the final lap, go around one more time, then descend back onto the track and cross the finish line. You don't have to use a mushroom to descend.
