Once you’ve earned a certain number of stars, you’ll unlock access to the next Cup that you can take part in. This means more tracks to race on, which means more points and more ways to fire the pipe that rewards you with new characters, gliders, and karts. However, if you progress through the various cups too quickly, you’ll come face to face with a timer.

This is where Quick Tickets come into play. Available as rewards for completing challenge sets, Quick Tickets are an exceptionally useful item that can only be acquired through This is especially helpful for those that don’t want to sit around waiting for the timer to count down.
