The first, and only, race in the Crystal Cup is extremely difficult, and the S-rank may
seem entirely out of reach for those of us without brains hooked up directly to our Wiis. 
However, there is a Tree Run exploit in this level that can land you some additional stars
at the expense of some time.  You'll want to bring a small, medium speed car like the
Ladybug for this.

Just past the football minigame goalpost, you can head right for a Tree Run through
crystals.  Heading through this pass at medium speed will land you 25-30 stars.  At the
end, flip around and carefully drive back through the crystals -- it'll be tough with the
text telling you that you are going the wrong way.  If you crash, you have to start over
and lose time.  When you reach the goalpost area again, turn around and repeat the Tree
Run.  You can safely do this a number of times -- just make sure you still have enough
time to finish the race!
