WTF ! I dont get it? I set out with a goal to get a "star" ranking In every cup BUT There are a couple cups that only gave me a "A" ranking and I came in first place in every race in record times all while doing stunts and boost jumps/drift boosts and ending with 60 points(max)....Why wouldnt it give me a Star???

The rating is based on a 'hidden points' system. You get awarded points for things like

being first in the race
staying on the track
performing tricks
performing boosts
successfully hitting an opponent with a weapon

Points are deducted when

you stray off the track
you hit an object or barrier

I found this modified chart on another forum.. .. ..

**3 star ranking guide**

Your GP rank is decided by 2 scores, your Championship Point (CP) and your Hidden Point (HP).

Everybody should be familiar with CP. It's the point given to you based on where you placed in each race:

1st: 15
2nd: 12
3rd: 10
4th: 8
5th: 7
6th: 6
7th: 5
8th: 4
9th: 3
10th: 2
11th: 1
12th: 0
----------------------

HP is a score that is hidden from the player, and it's given base on how "well" you performed in the race. You start with 0 HP, and according to what you did, points are added or deducted from your HP.

ACTIONS THAT ADD HP:

-- Total Time for Each Race --
Each circuit has a preset time. You will be awarded HP depending on how much faster your time is from the preset time.

-- Lead Time --
HP is given for been in 1st place. The longer you are in 1st, the more HP you receive.

-- Rocket Boost/Start --
+25 HP for each successful Rocket Boost.

-- Mini-Turbo --
+2 HP for each successful mini-turbo.

-- Item Attack --
+5 HP for each successful attack using item.

-- Wheelies/Red Mini Turbos --
+?? HP for each successful wheelie in a bike or "red" turbo in a kart

-- Tricks --
+?? HP for each stunt performed

ACTIONS THAT DEDUCT HP:

-- Off-Track Time --
HP is deducted for the amount of time you spend off the track. The longer you are off-track, the more HP you loss. Exceptions are when you are under the effect of star, mushroom, bullet pill, or mega mushroom.

-- Hit a Wall --
-20 HP everytime you hit a wall.

-- Hit a Course Obstacle --
-30 HP everytime you hit a course obstacle (car, fireball, etc.).

-- Fall Off Track/ Pick Up by Lakitu--
-70 HP everytime you fall off track and get picked up by Lakitu.
