Leg 2 (Wild Glide Galaxy → Donkey Kong Isle)

In this leg’s Detour, teams had to choose between Cart and Cold. In Cart, teams flew to Monkey Mines and had to ride mine carts along a hazardous course. Once at the end end, they would receive their next clue. In Cold, teams flew to Gorilla Glacier and had to swim amongst the frozen coral reefs to find their next clue. In the Roadblock, one team member had to enter the factory of Kremkroc Industries to find four Puzzle Pieces, which, when pieced together, would reveal the location of the Pit Stop.

In Rock On, teams could take a path up to the top. However, the path was swarming with enemies that had to be defeated. In the Roadblock, one team member had to traverse their way through the interior of the volcano to reach their partner at the bottom. Along the way they had to play two minigames. In the first, they had to jump into a small whirlwind and spin through the air, collecting 20 coins. In the second, they had to curl into a ball and roll through an obstacle course, collection eight gems. Failure of either task meant they had to try again.

Leg 5 (Thwomp Volcano → Donut Plains → Vanilla Dome)

At the Intersection, teams had to join with one other team to complete tasks and make decisions together until further notice. In this special Roadblock, one team member from each of the intersected teams had to traverse through the Vanilla Dome to reach the Red Switch Palace, where they would have to guide an Invincible Koopa Troopa through an obstacle course. After the Roadblock, teams were no longer Intersected. In the Detour, teams had to choose between Light as Air or Spring of Vert (Green). In Light as Air, teams had to climb a small underground mountain to reach Cape Feather and then use it to fly to the top of the Dome.

In the only Fast Forward of the race, one team had to enter the icy caves of the Fifth Division and figure out how to exit them. They would have to get Super Leaves and fly through a hole in the ceiling while carrying an ice block to defeat Nipper Plants that were in the way. In the Detour, teams chose between Frozen and Flying. In Frozen, teams had to break through ice blocks containing coins to find one with their next clue. In Flying, teams had to get their next clue from the cloud above, using Parabuzzies to reach it. In the Roadblock, one team member had to strip down to the bare minimum of clothing and carry a heavy ice block through Ice Land to reach the castle, where they could exchange it for their next clue.

In the Detour, teams chose between Terror and Type. In Terror, teams would have to fight against and defeat an Atomic Boo. In Type, teams had to type out their next clue on a typewriter.
