'''Cloudtop Cruise''' is the first course of the [[Special Cup]] of ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. This course mainly takes place on clouds, a giant beanstalk (similar to {{classic-link|GBA|Sky Garden}}), and on an airship (like {{classic-link|DS|Airship Fortress}}). Several of Bowser's airships are seen flying in the background. It shares its name with Sky Garden in some other languages.

The race starts on a giant beanstalk. Shortly after, there is a slight right turn and a ramp with some [[Item Box]]es on it leading onto a balloon with Bowser's insignia that characters can bounce on, similar to [[Mushroom Trampoline]]s. The racers will then continue racing on a cloud, with a zigzagging set of turns and a small split route with another balloon. After a U-turn, they jump onto an airship, where the player encounters two paths, both of which meet up right before a cannon, which launches the player to a anti-gravity metal track inside a storm cloud. On the track, there are many [[Dash Panel]]s, but once in a while, lightning will strike them, which the racers have to avoid or else they will get knocked out. The lightning also deactivates the Dash Panels when active. This section then ends to start a gliding section, which touches down on a giant stone [[? Block]], a reference to how Beanstalks grow out of ? Blocks in ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' games. There is then one more right turn before the finish line.

==Music==
==Music==
Like several other courses, the music for this course has two different variations: the first variation is orchestral and plays when the players drive on the cloud and beanstalk sections, while the second variation is a rock arrangement that plays when reaching the thundercloud section. The ending portion of both variations uses parts of "[[Gusty Garden Galaxy (theme)|Gusty Garden Galaxy]]" from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and "[[Sky Station Galaxy]]" from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. The course's music also reappears as a new arrangement, which combines the two variations, in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' on the [[Mario Circuit (Super Smash Bros. for Wii U)|Mario Circuit]] stage and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' on any ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' stage.
