shroome: Sounds like a bug, but I don't know why you'd want to use the Adventure Mode time trial anyway.
In case someone is having issues with the Staff Ghosts: Let go of Acceleration before hitting a Boost Plate AND (Very Important) don't press accelerate again before your boost runs out. It took me very long to find that out because i thought it would be enough to just let go of acceleration right before boosting and press it again right after hitting the Boost Plate but that's waaay slower still.
I experienced the TT time "bug" very often, basically the achievements are linked to beating his TIME, but not his GHOST. To get a TT icon for unlocking TT you need to beat his GHOST, NOT just his time, so if you beat his time on the first run (not very tough if you've played the game a lot before), you'll unlock the achievement and have to redo the level once more to beat his ghost. At least you get more practice.
Extra hints to everyone: depending on how many bananas you have, tapping A repeatedly (at a rate of about 4-5 A presses per second) will increase your speed over simply holding it. The more bananas you have, the greater the speed increase from tapping A.
You also tend to go faster while drifting (holding R down), and in the plane, you have higher top speed while you are close to, but not touching, the ground. ALL the vehicles technically benefit from the A tapping but you need to be watching your speedometer if you're in hovercraft or plane. If it starts dipping really low, hold, don't tap, until you reach about 60, then resume tapping after.
