Mushroom Gorge

Mushroom Gorge is the third course of the Shell Cup and is a retro course from Mario Kart Wii on the Nintendo Wii. This course is located on a mountainous zone with tall mushrooms rising over cloudy abysses. Racers have to use some of them as platforms to pass gorges. Characters travel the course mainly on land; however, in the middle of the route, they enter a cave where they find a pit full of mushroom platforms. Players can drive two different ways over these mushrooms to cross the cave. Red mushrooms causes drivers to bounce, so players can elaborate a trick while they are in the air to get a small boost of speed later. The green-capped mushrooms, however, do not cause vehicles to bounce. Some Goombas appear serving as obstacles on the track. The course's layout shows some changes from its first appearance, including a blue-colored bouncy mushroom for the gliding function, the removal of two mushrooms at the beginning of the course, and Grand Goombas at the end of the track.
