* '''Shroom #2:''' Hop to the left as you pass by the rock that's sticking out sharply (to stay tight), into a slide.  Shroom as you pass the next (non-sharp) angle made by the rocks.  Slide around the rest of the turn, into the open sand, in as straight a path as possible towards the next corner.  Release the MT at or slightly after the corner, as you would for the 3lap.
 +
* '''Shroom #3:''' Same as the 3lap shroom.  If you timed it correctly, you should go through a little water as you release the MT at the end of the shroom, and a little water as you reach the finish line.
