I'll still forget to use it, but remember it right after I lose the race.

I think I explained this earlier, but I'll explain it again for you.
In Maka Wuhu, once you pass the second section lap mark, stop and turn to the right. Drive off between the mouth of the cave and the end of the fence. There is a rock there that you should land on. Using a mushroom is easier. Lakitu will drop you close to the third section lap mark if done right. My best time from the second to third section is 12 seconds because of this.
and how did you find that out?

Someone rammed me off when I was racing online and that happened. After that, I looked up why that happened and found the details.

Just wanted to ask - do coins actually give you extra speed? I see a little boost on my kart every time I collect a coin but the internet tells me otherwise and says the coins are purely just for the purpose of unlocking extra frames, wheels and gliders. What do you guys think? I just need to know since it's been driving me crazy (literally).

Coins are extremely important. More important than you'd think. You get a small boost from a coin when you collect it, and depending on how many coins you have, your top speed will increase. There's a reason you can only get 10.

I did wonder why there was a cap of 10.

I once did 2 Time Trials exactly the same, one without getting any coins, and one with getting coins. There was about 7 seconds difference. In Time Trials, that's a lot.

The only tracks I can never seem to end with 10 coins in a good race are the 3 section tracks.

most likely because you don't remember where the coins are.

Not so much that, but it's not repeating itself, so grabbing the coins isn't just habit anymore, it's now work.

I noticed the little boosts when I got coins. Pretty nice to know that it increases your top speed, though.

One more reason to collect them.
One more reason to rage when you lose them.
