'''Animal Crossing''' is the fourth and final course of the [[Crossing Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. The course is included with the [[Animal Crossing x Mario Kart 8|''Animal Crossing'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']] downloadable content package for ''Mario Kart 8''. The course is located in an unnamed town from ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing: New Leaf|Animal Crossing: New Leaf]]''. Similar to how [[Excitebike Arena]] changes layout every time it is played, Animal Crossing changes season every time it is played, which slightly alters some areas of the course.

In offline play, except for Time Trials (which uses summer as the only theme for the sake of consistency among Time Trial records), it is possible to select the season by holding down a shoulder button before the race starts if the player is using the Wii U GamePad, the Classic Controller (Pro), or the Wii U Pro Controller. Holding {{Button|wiiu|L}} selects spring, holding {{Button|wiiu|R}} selects summer, holding {{button|wiiu|ZL}} selects autumn, and holding {{button|wiiu|ZR}} selects winter.<ref>GameXplain (August 19, 2015).

This is one of the four courses in the ''Mario Kart'' series in which the [[Item Box]] roulette sounds different, the others being [[DS Waluigi Pinball|Waluigi Pinball]], [[Hyrule Circuit]], and the [[Urchin Underpass]] battle course. It is also the only race course to have more than one course select icon, as well as the only one to have multiple at the same time.

[[File:MK8 Animal Crossing Starting Line.jpg|275px|thumb|left|The starting line in all four seasons.]]
[[File:MK8 Animal Crossing Starting Line.jpg|275px|thumb|left|The starting line in all four seasons.]]
The course starts out next to the [[nookipedia:Town Tree|Town Tree]], [[nookipedia:Town Hall|Town Hall]], and [[nookipedia:Able Sisters|Able Sisters' shop]] (where helmets from the [[amiibo]] costumes can be seen in the window) before crossing over a [[nookipedia:Bridge|bridge]] and into a forest area with many [[nookipedia:Tree|trees]]; crashing into a tree causes a [[nookipedia:Fruit|fruit]] to fall to the ground, which functions like a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]], giving a speed boost to the first racer to drive over it. After this, a right turn comes up leading to a left turn and then a [[Glide Ramp]], which goes over a small [[nookipedia:River|river]] and into another part of the [[nookipedia:Town|town]] with a [[nookipedia:Fountain|fountain]] whose water can be [[trick]]ed off of and floating [[nookipedia:Balloon|balloons]] with [[Item Box]]es attached to them. Many [[nookipedia:Villager Houses|houses]] can be seen in the background here.
The course starts out next to the Town Tree, Town Hall, and Able Sisters shop before crossing over a bridge and into a forest area with many trees that can be ran into. After this, a right turn comes up leading to a left turn and then a glide pad, which goes over the small river, and into another part of the town with many houses, as well as floating balloons with [[Item Box]]es attached to them.


The track then goes straight while descending, until it turns left and onto the [[nookipedia:Sea|beach]] with [[nookipedia:Shells|shells]] that can be knocked aside. The track then curves left and back up a hill which goes past [[nookipedia:Nook's Cranny|Nook's Cranny]], and onto a bridge with a [[Dash Panel]] on it which crosses over the hill that was descended earlier. At this point, players may fall to the lower section of the track; if they do, then they will get picked up by [[Lakitu]] and brought to the next section of the track. In this section, the track curves right, the [[nookipedia:Museum|museum]] can be seen in the background, and [[Mr. Resetti]] occasionally pops out of the ground, acting as a hazard, unless the season is winter, in which case [[Snowboy]]s instead appear as obstacles, functioning like [[Snowman|Snowmen]]. After this corner, there is a left turn to the [[Finish Line (object)|finish line]].

The track then curves left and back up a hill which goes past [[nookipedia:Nook's Cranny|Nook's Cranny]], and onto a bridge with a boost section on it which crosses over the hill that was descended earlier. After this section, the track curves right, and [[Mr. Resetti]] occasionally pops out, acting like a Monty Mole, unless the season is winter. After this corner, there is a left turn to the finish line. Players may fall to the lower section of the track. If players do fall down, they will get picked up by [[Lakitu]] and brought back to the next section of the track.
 
This is the only race course not to feature any spectators from the ''Super Mario'' franchise, as well as one of the three new courses in ''Mario Kart 8'' without any [[anti-gravity]] sections, the other two being [[Excitebike Arena]] and [[Super Bell Subway]], which are also DLC courses.

===Differences between seasons===
===Differences between seasons===
There are subtle differences in the track between seasons.  
While the different seasons don't change the track layout that much, there are some subtle differences. In the spring, a number of ramps are placed along the track from Mr. Resetti's place to the glider ramp, and the race takes place in the morning. In the summer, a pair of ramps are placed on the beach, and the race happens at high noon. In autumn, the track is set in the late afternoon or evening, and there are leaf piles that release items on the track, similar to [[Maple Treeway]] from ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. In the winter, the track is set at night (and at Christmas) and a lot more slippery than normal, reducing the traction of all vehicles. There are also a number of Snowboys placed around the course which act as destructible walls, like the Snowmen on [[Sherbet Land (GCN)|<small>GCN</small> Sherbet Land]], and Mr. Resetti is absent. The music also changes, depending on the season. In Time Trials, only the summer version is used.


* '''Spring''': A number of ramps are placed along the track from Mr. Resetti's place to the Glide Ramp, and the race takes place in the morning.
===Shortcuts===
* '''Summer:''' A pair of ramps are placed on the beach, and the race happens at high noon. In Time Trials, this is the only version of the track used, likely to keep record consistency.
*Just as the beach section starts the player can boost behind a tree and darker sand to cut the corner.
* '''Autumn''': The race takes place in the late afternoon or evening, and there are [[leaf pile]]s that release items on the track, similar to {{classic-link|Wii|Maple Treeway}}.
*The final corner can be skipped with a [[Mushroom]].
* '''Winter:''' The race takes place at night (and on Toy Day). The track is far more slippery than in other versions, reducing the traction of all vehicles. There are also a number of Snowboys placed around the course which act as destructible walls, similar to the Snowmen on {{classic-link|GCN|Sherbet Land}}, and Mr. Resetti is absent.


The music also changes depending on the season.
===Staff ghost===
 
The staff ghost for this track is [[Isabelle]] on the [[City Tripper]], with a time of 1:58.273. In ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''{{'}}s 200cc mode, the staff ghost is a [[Villager]] with a time of 1:23.417.
==Shortcuts==
*Just as the beach section starts, the player can use a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] boost behind a tree and darker sand to cut the corner.
*The final corner can be skipped with a Mushroom boost.

==''[[Mario Kart 8 Original Soundtrack]]'' liner notes==
===Spring===
''"We received orders to come up with something bright and cheerful that would suit looking at cherry blossom in the spring. I think we've achieved it with that winding electric guitar line, wouldn't you agree? The playful trombone part is something you can only hope to capture in a live performance."''
===Summer===
''"This is a title I have an emotional connection with, so I really put my heart and soul into working on this arrangement. I started with the summer version of the Animal Crossing background music and found that it was rather like a puzzle, working out which instruments and motifs would suit each season. For this track, I went with a gypsy folk swing feel to give that sense of energy you get in the summer."''
===Autumn===
''"I thought the slightly melancholy feeling of an autumn sunset would suit Animal Crossing perfectly. I hope you'll enjoy the warm tones of the accordion and guitar combining."''
===Winter===
''"I was really stumped as to what kind of motifs to use in the night sequence. I decided to vary the type of drumsticks and the playing method for each season, and also used different types of bass. I really hope you're able to notice this variation of tones here."''

*In the Able Sister's Shop, helmets from the [[amiibo]] costumes can be seen in the window.
*This is one of the three nitro courses in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' without any anti-gravity sections, the other two being [[Excitebike Arena]] and [[Super Bell Subway]]. Coincidentally, all three are DLC courses.
