'''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.

The course contains various gardening elements such as ornamental trees and flowers. 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}}.

Peach Gardens reappears as a [[classic course]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' as the second course of the [[Lightning Cup]], in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting from the [[Peach vs. Bowser Tour (November–December 2022)|November–December 2022 Peach vs. Bowser Tour]], and in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''{{'}}s [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]] DLC as the second course of the [[Moon Cup]]. An arranged version of this course's music is used for the [[Peach Gardens (golf course)|golf course of the same name]] in ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]''.

==''Mario Kart DS''==
===Course layout===
The track starts with the starting line in the front of the mansion's backdoor. The racers go along a straight piece of road towards a bridge to the pond in a roundabout circling the garden topiary of Mario and a single Chain Chomp running around the topiary. The racers swerve to the left onto another bridge to return to the garden and take a semicircular turn to the right. A patch of flowers in it can be passed through to skip the turn. The road continues uphill to a square terrace with a pair of squared patches of grass and flowers in it. The road turns in a 90 degrees turn to the right; however, any racer can cut the path by going to a narrow portion of flat terrain to the right of the front patch of flowers and go instantly downhill out of the terrace. Racers enter to a maze-like zone, where the main road is split up in multiple paths by square parterres and some stray Chain Chomps wander in the maze with two [[Item Box]]es following after them. The maze ends with the paths gathering again to the main road that leads the racers uphill to another terrace. The road makes an abrupt S bend to the right and around a patch of flowers and goes downhill to a circular path with three high hedges that split the road again in parts into multiple paths, but gathers shortly and sends the racers to a curly path of dark soil with green lawn and some trees scattered in the zone. Among other elements in this section of the track are the Monty Moles hiding below holes found in the corners of the path. The path ends near the mansion in a straight walkway that returns the racers to the backdoor, and swerving to the right from this spot, racers find the finish line to complete a lap.

Peach Gardens is the only course in the game whose finish line gate is not placed directly over it, being placed slightly farther ahead instead. The gate is repositioned over the finish line in the course's future appearances.

===Missions===
Peach Gardens is the setting for two [[Mario Kart DS#Missions|missions]] in ''Mario Kart DS''.
*'''Mission 5-1''': The player must finish one lap around the course before a [[Chain Chomp]]. Notably, this mission uses {{media link|MKDS-Music-ChainChomp.oga|a rearrangement of the Chain Chomp theme}} from ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' as its background music exclusive to this mission, having a changed melody and extended bass line and bridge.
*'''Mission 6-8''': The player, as [[Bowser]], must finish one lap before Peach while racing in the opposite direction.

Both missions involve the player driving in a single-lap race.

==''Mario Kart Wii''==
[[File:MKWii Peach Gardens.png|thumb|200px|left|Peach Gardens in ''Mario Kart Wii'']]
[[File:2009-TournamentApril2.jpg|thumb|200px|The tournament]]
Peach Gardens makes its classic course debut in ''Mario Kart Wii'' as the second race of the [[Lightning Cup]]. 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.

===Tournament===
In ''Mario Kart Wii'', a [[List of Mario Kart Wii tournaments|tournament]] took place on this track. It was a time trial race, where players had to get past a larger number of Chain Chomps and Monty Moles. It was the second tournament of April 2009, and it was later repeated as the second tournament of April 2011, the second tournament of July 2012, and the first tournament of October 2013.

==''Mario Kart Tour''==
[[File:MKT DS Peach Gardens Scene.jpg|thumb|left|250px|View of the course in ''Mario Kart Tour'']]
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. 

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 first 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 second maze section near the end has now been turned into a roundabout, sporting a [[Big Piranha Plant]] inside of a [[Warp Pipe]] in the middle. 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 also appears as '''Peach Gardens R''' (reversed), '''Peach Gardens T''' (with ramps), and '''Peach Gardens R/T''' (reversed with ramps). In the R variant, the maze is converted into a gliding section and has the Monty Moles move underground like in [[Wii Moo Moo Meadows|Moo Moo Meadows]] from ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. In the T variant, the course incorporates [[Conveyor Belt]]s on several [[Kanaami Road]]s. In the R/T variant, the Big Piranha Plant is replaced with a large [[Inky Piranha Plant|Inky Piranha Plant]].

The course is a favorite of [[Toad (species)|Pink Toad (Pit Crew)]], [[Birdo|Birdo (Orange)]], [[Princess Peach|Peach (Wedding)]], [[Fire Mario|Fire Rosalina]], [[Pauline|Pauline (Rose)]], [[Princess Peach|Peach (Yukata)]], [[Princess Daisy|Daisy (Farmer)]], [[Luigi#Dr. Mario series|Dr. Luigi]], [[Pink Shy Guy|Pink Shy Guy (Ninja)]], [[Petey Piranha]], and the [[Mii|Yoshi Mii Racing Suit]].

[[File:MK8DPeachGardens5.jpg|250px|thumb|{{classic|DS|Peach Gardens}} as it appears in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'']]
Peach Gardens returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of the third wave of the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]. 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. Toad, Yoshi, and Shy Guy spectators have been added across to the course, found sitting on garden sets and park benches.

The biggest change made to this version of the course is that the final lap is now driven in reverse, similar to the last lap of {{classic-link|Tour|Paris Promenade}}, making {{classic|DS|Peach Gardens}} the second course in the Booster Course Pass that is not from ''Mario Kart Tour'' to change its layout to a variant version from ''Tour'' between laps, the first being {{classic-link|N64|Kalimari Desert}}. The hedge at the first flower patch turn now has an opening in it, which is blocked by [[arrow field]]s during the first two laps. During the third lap, the arrow fields will redirect the racers to the left, towards a pathway that is unused in the previous iterations of the course. This path, now winding instead of straight, leads to the left side of the mansion, where there are two metal ramps the player can trick off of, after which the lap takes after Peach Gardens R from ''Mario Kart Tour'', even incorporating the glide ramp over the maze section. The Chain Chomp at the roundabout section also changes direction during the final lap.

Due to both courses using 3/4 time for their music, the frontrunning version of this course shares the same beat rhythm as {{classic|Tour|Paris Promenade}}.

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.

Internally, {{classic|DS|Peach Gardens}} is referred to as "Cnsw_32", implying it may have originally been intended to be the second course of the [[Rock Cup]]. A video released by Nintendo of America on YouTube erroneously lists this course as the second course of the Rock Cup.<ref>Nintendo (November 22, 2022). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBCHkZ15MUM&t=0s Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - Booster Course Pass DLC Wave 3 - Nintendo Switch]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved December 2, 2022.</ref>

{{classic|DS|Peach Gardens}}' appearance in the Booster Course Pass makes it one of four courses in the ''Mario Kart'' series that allow racers to run into other racers going in the opposite direction, the others being [[GCN Luigi Circuit|Luigi Circuit]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', {{Classic-link|Tour|Paris Promenade}}, and {{Classic-link|Tour|Amsterdam Drift}}.

==Trivia==
{{trivia}}
*Peach Gardens has seen three instances across the ''Mario Kart'' series where it was driven in reverse, the most for any course in the series.
**In ''Mario Kart DS'' in Mission 6-8, where the player must beat Peach in a race on Peach Gardens in reverse.
**In ''Mario Kart Tour'', where every course has a separate reversed variant.
**In ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', where the route changes on the last lap and the course is played in reverse.
*Peach Gardens has several similarities to [[Tour Paris Promenade|Paris Promenade]]. Both:
**have their music in 3/4 time.
**have one [[Piranha Plant]] on the ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' version of the course.
**have [[Princess Peach|Peach]] as the 150cc staff ghost in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''.
**begin with a straightway that leads to a circle formation, which then have the player drive the same path on the first two laps before taking a side path that has the player drive around the main course backwards on the final lap in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''.
