Someone explain Wario Stadium to me

Out of all the tracks in MKDS, right now the most annoying to me is Wario Stadium. This is the only track I cannot find a really good line around, mainly because of the final turn.

You should know the one I'm talking about. First, you go up the hill with the 3 boost strips on it, then you go over 2 medium-sized hills, then you go over 4 small hills followed by a sharp curve with mud along the outside edge.

The trouble is, I can't seem to get an inside line on that curve. No matter which character I pick, I always end up close to the mud. I've watched and studied the staff ghost and have even tried jumping at the same places with the same character and kart and I cannot hug that corner as tight as the staff ghost. I spent 25 minutes last night doing nothing but trying that turn.

It's really frustrating. I'm short about 4-5 seconds from beating the staff ghost, and this curve is probably the cause of at least a second per lap for me.

What am I missing about the turn? How do you get a tight inside line from off of those hills?

Personally, I find it tricky too. I try to be in mid power-slide before I hit the jumps, and release directly after the last one. I'll play it again later and try to sharpen my memory.

Considering that three of the tracks in MKDS are taken from MK64, I'd say it was a perfectly reasonable question.

To which the answer, incidentally, is that it's a new track.

I hadn't read anything about which tracks were included from the old MK games _in_ MKDS, that's why I asked.

Try very quickly releasing the throttle at the 3rd bump, then turning into a slide. That works pretty well.

Four. Moo Moo Farm, Frappe Snowland, Banshee Boardwalk, and Choco Mountain.

Sorry, I'm in a corrective mood today.
