'''Block Fort''' is a battle course in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' that contains four structures in each corner of the level. It is also a retro battle course in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''.


==''Mario Kart 64''==
The '''Block Fort''' is a battle course in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]. It first appeared in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' with four structures in each corner of the level. Ramps lead up to the first level, where thin bridges lead to the other forts. Another ramp leads to the top level, with longer bridges to the other forts roofs. [[Item Box]]es are on the ground levels edge-wall, and on both of the forts' levels.

[[Item Box]]es are on the ground levels edge-wall, and on both of the forts' levels. Like [[Double Deck]], this course shares its music with [[N64 Choco Mountain|Choco Mountain]]. [[Block City]] from ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' and [[Block Plaza]] from ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' appear to be based on Block Fort.
 
==''Mario Kart DS''==
[[File:MKDS Block Fort Intro.png|thumb]]
This battle course reappears in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. Despite {{classic link|N64|Choco Mountain}} and Block Fort both returning in this game, the latter uses the same music as every other battle course. In addition, it is not given the "N64" prefix, despite also being a [[classic course|retro]]. Block Fort and [[Pipe Plaza]] are the only retro courses in ''Mario Kart DS'' to not have a prefix in its name, as both also apply to the latter.
 
In Shine Runners, there are thirteen possible spawning locations for the [[Shine Sprite]]s, the most of every battle course featured in this game. There are four Shine Sprite spawning locations on the four corners of the course, four more on the first level of all structures, and another four on the second level of the same structures. A singular Shine Sprite spawning location is in the center of the course as well.
 
===Missions===
There is one [[Mario Kart DS#Missions|mission]] that takes place on Block Fort:
*'''Mission 6-4''': The player controls [[Mario]], who must hit 10 moving [[Item Box]]es within 120 seconds. Each Item Box contains a [[Mushroom]].


This battle course reappears in the game ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. [[Block City]] from ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' and [[Block Plaza]] from ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' appear to be based on Block Fort.

==Notes==
==Trivia==
*In the Nintendo 64 version, the entire battle course appears to be surrounded by a sea of water, as shown in the icon in the battle stage selection. In the Nintendo DS version, the Touch Screen indicates the course is surrounded by a field of grass, though all that is actually modeled is a sky void.

*Despite [[Choco Mountain|<small>N64</small> Choco Mountain]] returning in ''Mario Kart DS'' and using the same music as Block Fort in ''Mario Kart 64'', the latter uses the same music for every other battle course in the DS version. The same also applies to [[Pipe Plaza|<small>GCN</small> Pipe Plaza]].
