'''Peach Gardens''' is the second course of the [[Special Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. The course is located in the gardens of a large country estate that bears a similar design to [[Peach's Castle]]. Obstacles in the course include [[Chain Chomp]]s and [[Monty Mole]]s, both capable of attacking the player. The course is often blocked by large hedges which cannot be driven through and patches of grass that slow players down. However, a speed booster such as a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] or a [[Super Star|Star]] can be used to get across the grass for a shortcut. | '''Peach Gardens''' is the second course of the [[Special Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''.

Some parts of the road are decorated by trellised arches, like the one standing over the starting line that supports the "Mario Kart" banner on it. The track also includes a pond with a circular terrace that has a large garden topiary of [[Mario]] in the center. This is the only part of the track that is not protected by fences and falling into the pond causes [[Lakitu]] to put the player back on the track. The rest of the track, however, is protected by fences and tall hedges serving as walls. This Mario topiary resembles his design from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', which in turn makes it resemble the Mario ice sculpture in {{classic-link|N64|Frappe Snowland}}. | ||

Each Item Box contains a Star, Mushroom, or Triple Mushrooms. | ||

There are now two new ramps found near the soil path right next to where the [[Monty Mole]]s jump up. The Chain Chomps that roam around the hedge section now have chains and they move more slowly than their ''DS'' counterparts. The ''Mario Kart'' sign at the very beginning of the course has been moved forward to be more aligned with the start/finish line. The course map has also been rotated 180 degrees compared to how it appeared in ''Mario Kart DS''. Additionally, it is the only DS track in the game to not use its ''Mario Kart DS'' arrangement. Its final lap variation begins late into the theme, skipping the first nine seconds. | ||

[[List of Mario Kart Wii tournaments#April 2009 Tournament 2|April 2009's second tournament]] | [[List of Mario Kart Wii tournaments#April 2009 Tournament 2|April 2009's second tournament]] required players to complete a Time Trial on a version of Peach Gardens with more obstacles: Three Chain Chomps now travel around the topiary, six roam around the hedge maze, one travels around the second terrace, two travel around the three high hedges, and two more roam on the walkway in front of the mansion. Additional Monty Moles can also be found at the first semicircular turn, the first terrace, the soil path, and right before the finish line. Players start the Time Trial with no items, but some Chain Chomps have Item Boxes trailing behind which always contain a Mushroom. The tournament was later repeated as the second tournament of April 2011, the second tournament of July 2012, and the first tournament of October 2013. | ||

Peach Gardens reappears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting with the [[Peach vs. Bowser Tour (November–December 2022)|November–December 2022 Peach vs. Bowser Tour]]. It is the first race course from ''Mario Kart DS'' to be added to the game since [[DS Airship Fortress]] in the [[Pirate Tour]] sixty tours prior. | Peach Gardens reappears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting with the [[Peach vs. Bowser Tour (November–December 2022)|November–December 2022 Peach vs. Bowser Tour]].

The course has been completely redesigned since its appearance in ''Mario Kart DS'' and ''Mario Kart Wii''. Unlike its previous incarnations, the Chain Chomps now roll around like they do on [[Chain Chomp Wheel]] in ''Mario Kart Wii'', and [[Dash Panel]]s have been added to the longer portion of the loop at the beginning. The Chain Chomp at this loop also now moves in the opposite direction compared to past games, moving counterclockwise instead of clockwise. The left turn after the second stone bridge was made wider, with the flower patch being smaller. The flower patches before and after the maze have been relocated off to the side, streamlining the route the course takes. The areas before and after the maze also no longer go past the entrance and exit of the maze, and instead they turn diagonally into it. Item Boxes during the maze section no longer trail behind the Chain Chomps, and are instead set in predetermined spots. The layout of the maze has also changed, as some of the squares are smaller than the others and there are only three rows instead of five. [[Hot-air balloon]]s with arrow signs have been added to the course before and after the maze section.

The winding road leading to the final stretch along the house has been mirrored. Out of the two ramps added in ''Mario Kart Wii'', only the left ramp (after exiting the roundabout) is retained, while the right ramp has been removed. | ||
The course now features fountains, flower stands, more trellises, heart shaped lawn patterns, and two gazebos. The mansion has been redone to feature bigger windows and beige walls. The striped hills in the background are taller, as are the walls around the course; they now feature small turrets and crenellations, and there are no longer trees visible over them. In addition to Mario's topiary being redesigned, the first maze section now features topiaries of Luigi, Peach, Toad, and Toadette. The starting banner seems to have been moved slightly more to the center and is now decorated with rose bushes and topped with Peach's crown. It also utilizes the modern ''Mario Kart'' logo (which is pink) instead of the classic one. | The course now features fountains, flower stands, more trellises, heart shaped lawn patterns, and two gazebos.

In the R/T variant, the Big Piranha Plant is replaced with a large [[Inky Piranha Plant|Inky Piranha Plant]]. | ||

It is the second course of the [[Moon Cup]]. First shown in the September 2022 Nintendo Direct, it was one of two courses announced first for the wave, alongside [[Merry Mountain]]. However, it would be announced for and debut in ''Mario Kart Tour'' before the release of Wave 3, giving this course the distinction of having the shortest gap between classic course appearances with only a one week gap, beating the previous course with this distinction, {{classic-link|GBA|Sky Garden}}, by seventeen days, until the release of {{classic-link|DS|Mario Circuit}}, which debuted 19 hours apart between ''Mario Kart Tour'' and the Booster Course Pass. | ||
The course takes its appearance from ''Mario Kart Tour'', with a comprehensive visual overhaul. The behavior of the Chain Chomps has been reverted to their original roaming state, and the hot-air balloons have been removed, as well as the added ramps from ''Mario Kart Wii'' and ''Mario Kart Tour''. Barriers have been added to the loop, preventing players from accessing the longer portion. The flower patch on the turn after the second stone bridge has been made slightly bigger, thus bringing the width of the turn and the shortcut itself more in line with games prior to ''Mario Kart Tour''. The [[Monty Mole]]s also now use the behavior seen in ''Mario Kart Tour''{{'}}s DS Peach Gardens R as well as ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''{{'}}s {{classic-link|Wii|Moo Moo Meadows}} and {{classic-link|SNES|Donut Plains 3}}, digging through the ground and occasionally popping out, as opposed to popping out from a stationary hole, although players are able to trick off of the dirt the Monty Moles create.

The version of Peach Gardens shown off in the September 2022 Nintendo Direct has several noticeable differences compared to the final version. The loop at the beginning lacks the barriers from the final version, and even had at least one Coin present. The flowerbed shortcut also took on its size from ''Mario Kart Tour'', and the route used to turn around on lap three also appears to be absent, with no visible gap in the hedge. | The version of Peach Gardens shown off in the September 2022 Nintendo Direct has several noticeable differences compared to the final version.
