'''Block City''' is a battle course in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. It is rather simplistic, simply being a huge square with four block pillars (one of which includes a narrow shortcut with a double item box) and some edges; it is seemingly based on and named after [[Block Fort]] of ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. In each of this stage's corners, there is a whole slew of [[Item Box]]es.

'''Block City''' is a battle course in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' It is rather simplistic, simply being a huge square with four block pillars (one of which includes a narrow shortcut with a double item box) and some edges; it is seemingly based on and named after [[Block Fort]] of ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. In each of this stage's corners, there are several [[Item Box]]es. It is the only default battle arena that is not symmetrical in any direction.


Block City [[List of Mario Kart DS pre-release and unused content#Unreleased courses|was going to return]] in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', but it was replaced by [[Pipe Plaza]] from the final version of the game.
