| '''Waluigi Pinball''' is the third race course of the [[Flower Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. As its name implies, this course takes place in a giant pinball machine themed after [[Waluigi]] and contains many sharp turns and curves. It shares its music with [[DS Wario Stadium|Wario Stadium]].
| |
|
| |
|
| Waluigi Pinball reappears in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as the fourth and last course of the [[Banana Cup]], in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting with the [[Halloween Tour (2019)|2019 Halloween Tour]], and in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass]]'' as the fourth and last course of the [[Turnip Cup]]. | | '''Waluigi Pinball''' is the third race course of the [[Flower Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. It is the longest course in the game. In ''Mario Kart DS'', Waluigi Pinball shares the same music with [[Wario Stadium (DS)|Wario Stadium]]. |

| ===Course layout===
| |
| [[File:MKDS Waluigi Pinball Course Icon.png|left|frame|The course icon]]
| |
| Soon after the countdown ends and the race begins, the kart drivers are launched into the pinball machine. After that, the racers start a descent down the machine, encountering numerous [[Metal ball|pinball]]s on the way. Colliding with one of these causes drivers to be knocked backwards. Additionally, a racer loses any items they may be carrying. While the racers are in the pinball launcher, they are immune to all items, including [[Lightning]]. Later on the track, inside the pinball table, there are [[Flipper (Mario Kart series)|flippers]] and [[Bumper (Mario Kart series)|bumpers]]. Bumpers push and speed up drivers, but flippers, when moving, can cause them to get electrocuted and spin out. This is the longest Nitro course in the game, despite being in the Flower Cup.
| |
| | |
| This course is the only non-circuit course to share its Grand Prix introduction fanfare with [[Figure-8 Circuit]], [[DS Mario Circuit|Mario Circuit]] and {{classic-link|GCN|Luigi Circuit}}.
| |
| | |
| The course has several unique sound effects that evoke pinball machine scoring noises. Most of these sounds are retained in its retro course appearances in future games:
| |
| *A "ball ready" sound is heard when in the pinball launcher.
| |
| *A unique item roulette sound is heard after breaking an [[Item Box]]. This trait is shared with [[Hyrule Circuit]], [[Animal Crossing]], and [[Urchin Underpass]] in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''.
| |
| *An additional "rolling" sound is played when traversing a [[Dash Panel]].
| |
| *A unique set of sounds plays when the player's position changes. Similar sounds for when the player's position changes are used in ''Mario Kart Wii'' onwards.
| |
| *A "ball lost" sound is heard when exiting the pinball table.
| |
| *A unique jingle plays when the player enters the second lap.
| |
| {{br|left}}
| |
| | |
| ===Missions===
| |
| There are two [[Mario Kart DS#Missions|missions]] that take place on Waluigi Pinball:
| |
| *'''Mission 3-1''': The player controls [[Wario]], who must hit 5 moving [[Item Box]]es within 50 seconds. Each Item Box contains a [[Super Star|Star]].
| |
| *'''Mission 4-7''': The player controls [[Toad]], who must drive through 10 gates within 45 seconds. Unlike all other gate missions, the gates have no numbering, so these can be driven through in any order.
| |
| Both missions take place on a version of the pinball table that has extra bumpers.
| |
| | |
| ==''Mario Kart 7''==
| |
| [[File:MK7-DS-WP.png|225px|thumb|left|{{classic|DS|Waluigi Pinball}} in ''Mario Kart 7'']]
| |
| Waluigi Pinball makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as the fourth and final course of the [[Banana Cup]], despite Waluigi not being playable in the game. The layout remained the same, but with enhanced graphics and the Dash Panels recolored to orange. The flashing starting banner now displays the classic ''Mario Kart'' logo.
| |
| | |
| The launch after the starting line now encompasses a [[Glide Ramp]], although like {{classic-link|Wii|Maple Treeway}} and {{classic-link|DS|Airship Fortress}}, players cannot aim their flight. Players are also no longer immune to items while in the launcher, and being hit by anything (or stowing their glider) results in having to be rescued by [[Lakitu]]. Additionally, the glider section is now shown on the minimap. The jumps after turn 1 (with the Waluigi banner repositioned slightly to accommodate it) and after turn 6 can be used to perform a [[trick]] and gain a boost. An extra Dash Panel is added in the small drop near the circular turn that comes after the 2nd jump.
| |
| | |
| The pinballs, bumpers, and flippers on the table behave the same way as in the DS version of the course, with the exception of the bumpers in the center of the lower part of the table rotating clockwise instead of counterclockwise. While playing local or online multiplayer, only one pinball traverses the main table as opposed to two.
| |
| | |
| The staff ghost for this track is [[Wario]].

| |
| [[File:MKT Waluigi Pinball Scene.jpg|thumb|200px|{{classic|DS|Waluigi Pinball}} in ''Mario Kart Tour'']]
| |
| Waluigi Pinball returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' beginning in the [[Halloween Tour (2019)|2019 Halloween Tour]]. As of the [[Anniversary Tour (2023)|2023 Anniversary Tour]], the course has appeared in thirty separate tours, the most out of any course in the game (not including courses with multiple routes). It featured a major visual upgrade. The image of Waluigi is now illustrated 2D, and his head now rotates from left to right and is surrounded by several brightly-lit buildings and large stacks of coins, the slots below them now have a Las Vegas theme to them, the bumpers have a brighter color, the flashing starting banner with the ''Mario Kart'' logo now uses the modern one albeit without the flashing red lights, and there is a new sign after the pinball launcher with Waluigi's art from ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'', the track name, a metal ball, two flippers, and scrolling text below that reads "Waluigi No. 1", while the Waluigi banner at the start of the pinball machine was moved to the entrance of the pinball table. The rotating bumpers now move far more slowly. Due to the second lap being the final lap, the jingle that plays when entering the second lap in previous appearances is no longer present.
| |
| | |
| The course also appears as '''Waluigi Pinball R''' (reversed), '''Waluigi Pinball T''' (with ramps), and '''Waluigi Pinball R/T''' (reversed with ramps). The former two debuted alongside the regular version in the 2019 Halloween Tour, while the latter debuted in the [[Valentine's Tour]]. In the T variant, there are many ramps on the pinball table that raise and lower as time passes. In the R/T variant, the two metal balls on the lower section take a different path at the start of the race.
| |
| | |
| The course icon for the R/T variant has an error within it. It features a trick ramp next to the red bridge despite not appearing in-game.

| |
| Waluigi Pinball makes its home console debut in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of Wave 2 of the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'', appearing as the fourth and final course of the [[Turnip Cup]]. The course uses its design from ''Mario Kart Tour'', albeit with enhanced graphical updates. The rotating bumpers have been reverted to a faster speed, retaining their clockwise rotation first changed in ''Mario Kart 7''. They can also now be crashed into when using a [[Star]], flying into the air as a result. Several groups of spectators consisting of [[Shy Guy]]s, [[Toad (species)|Toads]], [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]], and [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s have now been added in various locations outside of the track's playable area, such as the sides of the chute behind the flippers and around the stretch of road after the gap jump leading to the pinball table, and a helicopter now appears above the large image of Waluigi at the end of the course. The flippers now give off an electric particle effect after activating.
| |
| | |
| The sounds that play when changing positions are no longer present, and the sound effect that plays when the player exits the pinball table is no longer played; however, the latter can be heard twice in the course's introduction cinematic. Like its debut game, the course shares its music with {{classic-link|DS|Wario Stadium}}, making these courses the only courses to share the same music in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', and one of the only classic courses in the series to share music with another retro course in the same game excluding ''Mario Kart Tour'' (the other four being {{classic-link|GBA|Peach Circuit}} with {{classic-link|GBA|Luigi Circuit}} and {{classic-link|GCN|Yoshi Circuit}} with {{classic-link|GCN|Luigi Circuit}} in ''Mario Kart DS''). Waluigi Pinball was one of two courses whose music was used for the reveal trailer for Wave 2 of the ''Booster Course Pass'', alongside [[Sky-High Sundae]], not including ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''{{'}}s [[Rainbow Road (Mario Kart 8)|Rainbow Road]], whose music was also used in Wave 1's promotional material. Waluigi Pinball is the only DS course in the ''Booster Course Pass'' to not be the second course in its respective cup, as {{classic-link|DS|Shroom Ridge}}, {{classic-link|DS|Peach Gardens}}, and {{classic-link|DS|Mario Circuit}} are the second courses of the [[Lucky Cat Cup]], [[Moon Cup]], and [[Boomerang Cup]] respectively.

| ==Other appearances==
| |
| Waluigi Pinball makes a cameo appearance in the 2006 release of the [[Nintendo Monopoly]] board game. It can be seen in one of the screenshots making up the montage of images from various [[Nintendo]] games.
| |
| | |
| Additionally, Waluigi's Showdown minigame in ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]'', [[Waluigi's Pinball Arcade]], is based on Waluigi Pinball, with the aesthetic being similar to the ''Tour'' and ''8 Deluxe'' versions of the course.

Additionally, a racer will lose any items he or she may be carrying. While the racers are in the pinball launcher, they are unaffected by lightning and some other items. Later in the track, inside the pinball area, there are flippers and bumpers. Bumpers push and speeds up drivers, but flippers, when moving, can cause them to get shocked and spin out. |

Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' on the [[Figure-8 Circuit (stage)|Mario Circuit]] stage, and in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' for any ''Mario Kart''-series stage, arranged in an enhanced electronic rock style by Kentaro Ishizaka. The arrangement also incorporates [[Wario]]'s victory theme from the same games.
| | *'''''Mario Kart DS'' European website:''' "''Wario's weird sibling constructed this high-speed track inside a giant pinball table; complete with bumpers, flippers, ramps, and enormous steel spheres that bounce you around like - well, like a pinball. Make sure to bring plenty of aspirin for this race.''" |

| ==Trivia== | | ==Trivia== |
| *Waluigi Pinball is one of two courses in the ''Mario Kart'' series to have used three different starting line logos, as it used a unique font in ''Mario Kart DS'', the classic ''Mario Kart'' logo in ''Mario Kart 7'', and the modern ''Mario Kart'' logo in both ''Mario Kart Tour'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''. Coincidentially, both are from ''Mario Kart DS'' with the other one being [[DS Airship Fortress|Airship Fortress]]. | | *The "Waluigi Pinball" cover version from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' has a section where Wario's victory theme is played (from the same game). |
| *The [[Nintendo Switch]]'s News app's ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' Channel in the United Kingdom never made a post highlighting {{classic|DS|Waluigi Pinball}} or {{classic-link|N64|Kalimari Desert}}, unlike every other course in the ''Booster Course Pass'' (though the post for {{classic-link|Tour|Vancouver Velocity}} was deleted after being made).
| | *This is one of three tracks in the ''Mario Kart'' series to have a sound of the roulette item that differs from other tracks of the original game. The others are [[Hyrule Circuit]] and [[Animal Crossing]]. |
| *The earliest known version of Waluigi Pinball found in the [[List of Mario Kart DS pre-release and unused content#Unreleased courses|game files]] of ''Mario Kart DS'' is known internally as luigi_course, implying that it would have been themed after [[Luigi]]. | | *This is one of the tracks that make a sound effect when running through a booster. |
| *Waluigi Pinball is the only DS retro course from ''Mario Kart 7'' to appear in the ''Booster Course Pass'', for while [[DS Luigi's Mansion|Luigi's Mansion]], [[DS DK Pass|DK Pass]] and Airship Fortress were in ''Mario Kart Tour'' (many of whose courses were included in the DLC), none of them were added.
