'''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''' is a race course in the game ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. It is the longest course in the game. This track is the third race in the [[Flower Cup]] in ''Mario Kart DS'', and the fourth race in the [[Banana Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''.  


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]].
==History==
 
==''Mario Kart DS''==
===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 a playable character 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]].

==''Mario Kart Tour''==
[[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.

==''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''==
[[File:MK8D DS Waluigi Pinball.png|thumb|left|250px|View of the course]]
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.
 
The course was once erroneously referred to as "Waluigi's Pinball" on the Nintendo Switch's news feed.<ref>Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Channel. (October 10, 2022). "Wave 2 DLC spotlight: N64 Kalimari Desert & DS Waluigi's Pinball!" ''Nintendo Switch News''. Retrieved March 1, 2023.</ref>

==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.

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 pinballs on the way. These pinballs may collide with a kart, causing the vehicle to be knocked backwards. Additionally, a racer will lose any items he or she may be carrying. While the racers are in the pinball shooter, 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 slow down drives, but flippers, when moving, can cause players to spin out.

Waluigi Pinball makes a cameo appearance in the [[Nintendo Monopoly]] board game. The music theme from the course is also featured in ''[[Super Smash Bros.

=====Missions=====
*'''Nintendo Switch News app (US)''':
There are two missions involving this circuit: 3-1 and 4-7.
**''This course first appeared in the Mario Kart DS game.''
In mission 3-1 the player must break 5 item boxes and in mission 4-7 they must drive through the 10 gates in any order.
**''Much like Waluigi himself, this is a very flashy course―complete with pinball-like features like flippers and bumpers.''
**''The key to victory involves dodging the balls that are rolling around.''
**''Waaa!''

The track returns in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as the fourth and final course in the [[Banana Cup]]. However, [[Waluigi]] himself does not appear in the game as a playable character, (though he was [[List of Mario Kart 7 beta elements|supposed to appear as a playable character in the game]]).

===''Mario Kart Tour''===
The launch after the start/finish line now encompasses a gliding pad, although racers cannot move to the left or right while being launched, similar to [[Maple Treeway]] and [[Airship Fortress]]. The jumps after turn 1 and after turn 6 can be used to perform a trick and gain a boost.

Instead if racers touched the flippers, it will trigger an electric effect causing the players to spun around without pushing them far away.

==Music==
Waluigi Pinball shares its music with [[DS Wario Stadium|Wario Stadium]]. An arrangement of the music is also featured in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 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.''"

==Notes==
==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" music from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' has a part 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).
*When the player runs through an [[Item Box]], goes over a boost pad or completes the first lap, a different, more pinball machine-themed version of the normal sound made plays. This is retained for the ''Mario Kart 7'' version of the track.
*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 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]].
*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.
*In ''Mario Kart DS'', Waluigi Pinball shares the same music with Wario Stadium.
 
*In ''Mario Kart DS'', when pinballs hit off the flippers, their speed increases, then decreases to normal when they go back up to the 4 bumpers. However in ''Mario Kart 7'', the pinball obstacle speed remains constant.
