'''Baby Park''' is a race course that has appeared in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' and was added to ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' as part of the [[Animal Crossing x Mario Kart 8|''Animal Crossing'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']] DLC Pack. Being a simple oval loop with no hazards, it is the shortest course in length in the series, excluding the unused "Test Circle" course found in ''Mario Kart DS'', only taking around ten seconds to complete a whole lap. As the name implies, the course takes place in an amusement park, including various elements from the [[Yoshi (series)|''Yoshi'' series]]. The track is a platform hanging from a large support complex, where a roller-coaster runs above and around the course and a pink [[Train|train]] runs over the rails. However, the roller-coaster was removed in the ''DS'' version.

Baby Park is the third course in the [[Mushroom Cup]]. One half of the floor is blue and the other half is pink. It has various pictures of characters from the [[Yoshi (series)|''Yoshi'' series]] on it, including [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]], to whom the stage belongs. Due to its length, this course has seven laps instead of the traditional three, making it one of only two courses in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' to not be a three-lap course; the other course is [[Wario Colosseum]], which has two laps. [[DK Mountain]] can be seen in the background.

The staff ghost of the track uses [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]], driving the [[Goo-Goo Buggy]]. They appear when the player completes all the race in 1:14.000 or less.

Baby Park appears in ''Mario Kart DS'' as the last track in the [[Banana Cup]]. This time around, it has five laps instead of seven. Missions 2-8 and 3-Boss take place here. It was available in Wi-Fi. On the final lap, the music starts playing in G♭ Major instead of A Major.

The staff ghost of this track in this game uses [[Toad]] in the [[Mushmellow]]. The player must clear the course in 50.920 seconds or less.

==''Mario Kart 8''==

[[File:MK8-DLC-Course-GCN BabyPark.jpg|thumb|250px|Baby Park in ''Mario Kart 8''.]]

Baby Park reappears in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' as a heavily-revamped DLC retro course and the first track of the [[Crossing Cup]]. This is the only retro track in the [[Animal Crossing x Mario Kart 8|''Animal Crossing'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']] DLC pack that has already appeared at least once as a retro track. One of the major changes made to the race course is that the entire track is now slanted, making it entirely an [[anti-gravity]] race track. The race track now has each half of the U-turn with different colors. The background has gone through a lot of changes, and some of the background rides, like the Bowser's Ship ride, have been heavily redesigned. Also, the starting banner now shows Baby Mario and Baby Luigi with their shirts and overalls and shoes on as opposed to being solely in diapers like the previous versions. The race on this course has seven laps just like in the original and the revamped music now increases in speed after every lap, making it the first retro course to do this. On the final lap, the guard rails light up and become multi-colored and like [[Rainbow Road (3DS)|Rainbow Road]] in ''Mario Kart 7'' and the [[Rainbow Road (N64)|remade <small>N64</small> Rainbow Road]] in ''Mario Kart 8'', the last part of the music starts to play instead of the beginning of it. It is the only retro course and one of three DLC courses (along with [[Mute City (course)|Mute City]] and [[Big Blue (course)|Big Blue]]) to be entirely an anti-gravity race track. This is the shortest track in the game and the only track with more than three laps/sections.

Several characters that are important to the ''Yoshi'' series appear to have their own rides around Baby Park. They are listed below.

*[[Baby Bowser]] appears on a ship attraction called "Bowser's Ship". In ''Mario Kart 8'', he is replaced with [[Bowser Jr.]].

*A [[Pink Yoshi]] [[Train]] in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' appears to ride around on an orange track, as if it were a roller coaster. It is seen in various parts of the Park, and sometimes it can appear above it. If it does do this, it may actually reflect off shells.  In ''Mario Kart 8'', this is replaced with a Standard Kart coaster riding on a red track.

*A [[Helicopter]] just like the one from ''Yoshi's Island'' can be seen at the background, flying around the track.

*A [[Paratroopa]] can also be seen. In ''Mario Kart 8'' the [[Paratroopa]] has been converted into a shop selling merchandise named ''Shop Paratroopa''.

==Official descriptions==

'''''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'''''

*'''US website:''' ''“It may look easy, but Baby park is a 7-lap cage match with 14-monster Power-slides! There are plenty of items to pick up, and the long straightaways make easy targets out of everyone.”''

*'''European website:''' ''“It’s Mario Kart: the theme park ride! The track is a simple oval, but the power-ups are plentiful, so you’ll have a battle on your hands to finish in first place”''

'''''Mario Kart DS'''''

*'''European website:''' ''"It's the shortest and simplest track of them all, but Baby Park isn't child's play. Because of the circuit's great size you're given five laps instead of three, but make sure you put petal to metal from the word go, as it'll be over in seconds rather than minutes."''
