Quick start
At the start of a race, press A right before the announcer says "Go" and the light turns green to get a quick start and a turbo.
Hidden area in Dolphin Park
In free roam mode, aim for the island in the background when you first start. Just before you hit the "out of bounds" markers, hit the turbo. If done correctly, you will see a second area. Head for that area and when you can hit the turbo a second time, do so to reach it. This may require more than one attempt. This new area has monster waves that you can do any trick on.
Shortcut in Arctic Bay
After passing three icebergs and the long right turn, before the ramp, at around 2 o'clock you will se a discoloration in the mountain side. Run into that discoloration and it will open up the underground penguin lair. Bear right and you will see a reunion with all the penguins and a ramp. There are two shortcut options. Either go onto that ramp and dive, which uncovers one shortcut; or go straight, which uncovers a different shortcut.
Shortcut in Lost Temple Lagoon
Towards the end of the track, as you are on the big turn, is a big brick wall. Run into the wall with your Jet Ski and it will break, giving you an advantage on the race. You can do this in any game mode.
Shortcut in Ocean City Harbor
After the third jump ramp, immediately before the fourth jump make a sharp right so that you can see a red gate guarding a tunnel. Go through the gate, which opens a very nice shortcut.
