I'm trying to get into the Regionals Top 10 for Bowser's Castle, but with little success. I have to get under 2'28, but I currently have 2'36. I used the following combos:

• Funky Kong + Flame Runner
• Rosalina + Flame Runner
• King Boo + Spear/Torpedo

Where should I use my mushrooms during the track? I've watched the WR replay and tried to emulate it with the same combos and actions, but I seem to be slower for some reason.

Any help on how to break 2'28?

Firstly, Rosalina + Flame Runner with Manual drift is the best. (many will disagree with this, but only today Rosalina got the World Record)

The best Mushroom spot is just before the final Thwomps.

Also the best tactic is not to trick on the Second and Last bid jumps on each lap.

My time is 2:37.xxx, so I could use the advice to!

I will try to find the WR on youtube.

EDIT: Found a vid, this isn't the current WR and it doesn't use Rosalina but its still on the Top Ten:

use the shroom right at the thwomps before the last jump.

Yeah, use the shroom under the thwomps. Also try to hit the boosts as efficent as possible, and the last part (if you jump right) can also shave off some time. But it's very hard to do, i tried dam hard and got only 2:33..
