'''Sky Garden''' is the second race course of the [[Lightning Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]''. The track takes place on a cobbled road atop clouds, with bridges connecting them and [[beanstalk]]s scattered around the clouds. This course has no major obstacles, although players can easily fall off of it. The [[Luigi]] [[blimp]] from [[GBA Luigi Circuit|Luigi Circuit]] can be seen in the background. A similar course with several shared names in other languages known as [[Cloudtop Cruise]] appears in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''. | '''Sky Garden''' is the second race course of the [[Lightning Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]''.

===Course layout=== | ===Course layout=== | ||
Sky Garden begins with an immediate left right-angled turn, followed by a more subtle left turn shortly afterwards. Players then jump over a short gap before taking a slight right, followed by another sharp left. Racers then drive down a long straightaway before reaching a left bend that takes players into a sharp U-turn to the right, before continuing to the left again to another straightaway, this one being more brief than the previous one. Players then take a reflex-angle turn and drive down a long, winding road before reaching a large bend, similar to one seen in [[SNES Donut Plains 1|Donut Plains 1]]. Also like the bend in Donut Plains 1, this takes players onto a short straightaway before taking a left turn onto another chicane, before taking a left turn, then reaching a long straightaway before crossing the finish line. | |||
===Shortcuts=== | ===Shortcuts=== | ||
There are three shortcuts in this course. One is at the beginning of the course. There is a ramp, and if the player uses a [[Dash Mushroom|mushroom]], they will fly onto a set of clouds. From there, the player can either use a mushroom to glide across the gaps or just can hop over them. The next shortcut is on the right of the small boost ramp that leads to an item. A mushroom is required to make it across. This is the shortcut used by the staff ghost. The last shortcut is right after the straight away and turn. If the player turns left there will be a huge floating cloud. Once again, the player can either use a mushroom to glide across the gaps or can hop over them. | |||

Sky Garden makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' as the third course of the [[Lightning Cup]], holding the distinction of being the only track to appear in the same cup twice (not counting the Extra Tracks in ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit''). There is an added shortcut in this version. After going across the small boost ramp leading to an item, the player must use a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] and hop at the exact right second to get across the large gap. The shortcut can also be done with a well placed jump over the large gap if the player is using a high acceleration kart without a Mushroom, but is very difficult to perform. This is possible in the original game, but the player will fall right over the other side no matter what. Additionally, the first shortcut has an added longer cloud in front of the original one at the gap's end. The staff ghost is [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]]. | Sky Garden makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' as the third course of the [[Lightning Cup]], holding the distinction of being the only track to appear in the same cup twice (not counting the Extra Tracks in ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'').

Sky Garden returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting from the [[Sky Tour]]. It is the second classic course in ''Mario Kart Tour'' (the first being [[GBA Sunset Wilds]]) to receive a new arrangement for its music and currently one of two GBA courses with a previous arrangement to receive a new arrangement in the game, the other being [[GBA Peach Circuit]] (and by extension, [[GBA Luigi Circuit]]). There are now two blimps; both use the appearance from [[Tour Singapore Speedway|Singapore Speedway]]. The giant beanstalks that previously only appeared in the background are now closer to the course, and one of them features a red [[Toad House]] on a cloud. | Sky Garden returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting from the [[Sky Tour]].

A course banner is added at the starting line, featuring the classic ''Mario Kart'' logo in a round frame supported by two beanstalks, which grow from earthenware planters. The road is also now made entirely of gray stone files, formed in an arched pattern, and features flowerpots and fences in the off-road areas. The course has been simplified, with some of the bends being removed. The first shortcut now features players performing [[Jump Boost]]s on giant leaves while the last is now under the beanstalk that supports the Toad House. The second shortcut is removed; the ramp now leads to a [[Mushroom Trampoline|mushroom trampoline]] on the main route. The straightaway near the finish line is replaced with a gliding section. | A course banner is added at the starting line, featuring the classic ''Mario Kart'' logo in a round frame supported by two beanstalks, which grow from earthenware planters.

The course also appears as '''Sky Garden R''' (reversed), '''Sky Garden T''' (with ramps), and '''Sky Garden R/T''' (reversed with ramps). The former two debuted alongside the normal variant in the Sky Tour, while the latter was introduced in the [[New Year's Tour (2023)|2023 New Year's Tour]]. In the R and T variants, the mushroom trampoline is removed. In the T variant, there are several [[Piranha Plant]]s along the track as well as a moving platform with a [[Dash Panel|dash panel]] ramp. In the R/T variant, racers drive across several additional mushroom trampolines, including a blue one. | The course also appears as '''Sky Garden R''' (reversed), '''Sky Garden T''' (with ramps), and '''Sky Garden R/T''' (reversed with ramps).

Sky | GBA Sky Garden’s R/T variant is visible in an [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass#internal content|unused banner]] present in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's files as of version 2.0.0, with the sunset setting intact. This instance predated its official announcement in the [[New Year's Tour (2023)|2023 New Year's Tour]]. | ||

Sky Garden returns in the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]] DLC for ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. It is the third course of the [[Lucky Cat Cup]] released in the first wave in March 2022, nearly a month after its inclusion in ''Mario Kart Tour'', though it was revealed in gameplay form in a February 2022 Nintendo Direct prior to its addition to said game. It derives its appearance and layout from ''Mario Kart Tour'', except with orange stone tiles instead of gray and an animated cloud texture. Unlike ''Tour,'' the leaf shortcut is reflected on the minimap. Many mushroom trampolines can be seen growing from underneath the course, and several airships from [[Cloudtop Cruise]] appear in the background instead of the blimps. [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s appear as spectators on the course. | |||
Like many other classic courses in ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', the music has been redone with live instruments, featuring a saxophone, piano, and electric guitar lead instead of the original song's synths. | Like many other classic courses in ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', the music has been redone with live instruments, featuring a saxophone, piano, and electric guitar lead instead of the original song's synths. | ||
