'''Mushroom Bridge''' is the first course of the [[Flower Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. It takes place at daylight on a one-way highway near the coast, and the racers have to share the track with slower vehicles that almost always damage the player when struck. The highway runs over the Mushroom Bridge that gives the course its name. [[Mushroom City]] and [[Peach's Castle]] from [[GCN Mario Circuit|Mario Circuit]] can be seen in the background near the beginning of the course. Additionally, Mushroom Bridge can be seen lit up in the background of Mushroom City due to it taking place at night. The two courses share the same music.
'''Mushroom Bridge''' is a racecourse from the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. Its first appearance is in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' as the first racecourse of the [[Flower Cup]]. Later, the course makes a reappearance in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' as the final track of the [[Leaf Cup]]. The course takes place on a one-way highway near the coast, and the racers have to share the track with slower vehicles that almost always damage the player when struck. The highway runs over the Mushroom Bridge that gives the course its name. [[Mushroom City]] and [[Princess Peach's Castle]] can be seen in the background near the beginning of the course. This course shares its music with Mushroom City.


Mushroom Bridge reappears in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' as the fourth and final race of the [[Leaf Cup]], and in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting with the [[Mii Tour (2023)|2023 Mii Tour]].

===Course layout===
[[File:Mushroom Bridge aerial view.png|left|thumb|250px|Aerial view of Mushroom Bridge in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''.]]
The track starts out just before the first left-hand curve. Players can take a path leading off of the main course to the right shortly after the starting line, which goes down a slope to a [[Warp Pipe]] leading to a [[Item Box|Double Item Box]] as it blasts the players back onto the track. The course then heads into a curving tunnel lit up with green lights. The players catch up to the cars they share the track with in the tunnel, and after clearing the curve, they encounter three Item Boxes.

Players can take a path leading off of the main course to the right shortly after the starting line, which goes down a slope to a [[Warp Pipe]] leading to a [[Item Box|Double Item Box]] as it blasts the players back onto the track. The course then heads into a curving tunnel lit up with green lights. The players catch up to the cars they share the track with in the tunnel, and after clearing the curve, they encounter three Item Boxes.


After leaving the tunnel, the track curves between the coast and some hills topped with mushroom-like huts. A path leads over the hill, but if the players do not have a speed-boosting [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] or [[Super Star|Star]], their kart is slowed down substantially by the dirt. Another alternate route exists in this section of track: there is a sidewalk on the left hand side of the track, and while much of it is blocked off by fencing, there are open sections granting the players access. There are Item Boxes on the sidewalks, and the fence protects players from projectiles thrown by the other racers, such as [[Red Shell]]s; they can also avoid the traffic on the main road using this route.

Another alternate route exists in this section of track: there is a sidewalk on the left hand side of the track, and while its usually separated from the road by fencing, there are open sections granting the players access. There are item blocks on the sidewalks, and the fence protects players from projectiles thrown by the other racers, such as [[Red Shell]]s; they can also avoid the traffic on the main road using this route.
 
After curving past the hills, there is a short straightaway; the sidewalk empties back into the road, and the racers all pass through a row of three Item Boxes before entering the second tunnel of the track. The tunnel curves around to the left, opening up on a straightaway leading to the bridge that gives the course its name. Halfway along the bridge are three more Item Boxes. There are two more Item Boxes on the tops of the bridge's beams, which are also inlaid with [[Dash Panel]]s, meaning players who attempt to cross the bridge that way run the risk of losing control and falling off (either onto the track below, which wastes time, or into the water, which means they need to be rescued by [[Lakitu]], which takes even longer). While riding on the top of the arches of the bridge, it is impossible to get hit by [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]]s. After the bridge is the finish line and the start of the next lap. The track has almost the same shape as [[SNES Mario Circuit 1|Mario Circuit 1]] from ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''.
 
The course also features vehicles which only appear on the main roads, and do not take any of the shortcuts. The course features regular [[Car (obstacle)|cars]], [[bus]]es and [[cargo truck]]s, as well as Mushroom-shaped cars which drop Mushrooms when hit and [[Bob-omb Car]]s which explode upon impact. Moving Item Boxes also appear throughout the course.


There are subtle differences in the speed of the vehicles. It takes about two minutes for a vehicle to complete one lap around the track and each vehicle has a moving speed of approximately 15 miles per hour, as the vehicles move faster than a player's kart's backing-up speed, which is 14 miles per hour. When players follow them either by trailing them or leading them, the vehicles slightly move closer or get further from other vehicles they are behind, depending on the vehicle. The [[Wiggler Wagon]] (both the 10- and 20-wheel versions) is the slowest, followed by trucks, buses, regular cars, Mushroom cars, moving Item Boxes, and [[Bob-omb Car]]s. If the game is left unpaused for more than an hour while the player still follows the vehicles, all the vehicles on the right lane will have eventually caught up to the Wiggler Wagon and all the vehicles on the left lane behind a truck will have caught up to the truck. One of the Express trucks in single-screen mode behind the Star Travel bus in the left lane has the equivalent speed of a bus, mainly because it drives in a near-straight line, as opposed to the rest, which wobble. The vehicles will make sudden subtle stops occasionally when behind a slower vehicle. Additionally, several vehicles in the game are programmed to yield to the moving Item Boxes and Bob-omb Cars coming out of the pipe shortcut. Others do not yield for them. If a player lines up all the cars using [[Super Star|Stars]] on the left lane, only the Peach Beach bus on the left lane in single-screen mode (a Star Travel bus in split-screen mode) will stop for the Bob-omb Car on the left lane. If said vehicle passes the [[Finish Line (object)|Finish Line]], the Bob-omb Car on the left lane is forced to wait until there are no more vehicles before it can enter the left lane.
After curving past the hills, there is a short straightaway; the sidewalk empties back into the road, and the racers all pass through a row of three item blocks before entering the second tunnel of the track. The tunnel curves around to the left, opening up on a straightaway leading to the bridge that gives the course its name. Halfway along the bridge are three more item blocks.

While riding on the top of the arches of the bridge, it is impossible to get hit by [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]]s. After the bridge is the finish line and the start of the next lap. The track has almost the same shape as [[Mario Circuit 1]].


The course icon features the vehicles going the opposite direction. This error is shared with {{classic-link|DS|Shroom Ridge}} in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''.
The course also features vehicles which only appear on the main roads, and do not take any of the shortcuts.

Mushroom Bridge makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' as the fourth and last course of the [[Leaf Cup]]. The course underwent considerable changes. It is simpler, shorter, and does not have as many obstacles as in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''. Most of the alternate paths were removed, excluding the shortcut over the hills. The bridge's beams are not accessible in this iteration. This version of Mushroom Bridge now features buses, trucks, and cars from [[DS Shroom Ridge|Shroom Ridge]]. Due to the DS's limited 3D graphics capability, vehicles cannot be seen from a far distance as they can disappear when far enough from the player, unlike in ''Double Dash!!'' Mushroom City and Princess Peach's Castle were removed from the background. Both of the tunnels are now lit green on the left side and lit red on the right side, compared to the original version where the first tunnel is lit green and the second tunnel is lit red. Also, the second tunnel's turns make acute angles, as opposed to the second tunnel's turns in ''Double Dash!!'' which is a natural curve. The course was never available in Wi-Fi mode.

In the course icon, the [[Cheep Cheep]] reads "Flesh" instead of "Fresh", an error also seen in the game's kiosk demo. Also, there are three "Flesh" trucks in the demo, and only one in the final version.

===Missions===
There are two [[Mario Kart DS#Missions|missions]] that take place on Mushroom Bridge, both of which [[Mario]] is used:
*'''Mission 5-5''': The player must finish one lap within 55 seconds while going in the opposite direction. During this mission, barriers block off most of the road along the bridge and next to the shortcut over the hills, forcing all vehicles into a narrow space. Each [[Item Box]] contains a [[Mushroom]].
*'''Mission 7-Boss''': The player must beat [[Wiggler]] in a three-lap race. During this mission, the direction of traffic is reversed, similar to [[N64 Toad's Turnpike|Toad's Turnpike]] in the Extra mode of ''Mario Kart 64'', meaning the player is once again going against it. However, there are Item Boxes on the main road which contain [[Super Star|Stars]] and Item Boxes underneath trucks which contain Mushrooms.
 
==''Mario Kart Tour''==
[[File:MKT GCN Mushroom Bridge Scene.jpg|250px|thumb|right|View of the course in ''Mario Kart Tour'']]
Mushroom Bridge returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting with the [[Mii Tour (2023)|2023 Mii Tour]]. This makes it the first course from ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' to return in ''Mario Kart Tour'' since [[GCN DK Mountain|DK Mountain]] in the [[Animal Tour]] thirteen tours prior. The course has received a noticeable visual overhaul, with the road along the titular bridge now being made of brick and now being decorated with Mushroom statues, the arches now being fully open, and Peach's Castle being replaced by a different mushroom-themed castle and Mushroom City's cameo being reinterpreted as a handful of background islands with tall mushroom stalks. Most elements of the track removed in ''Mario Kart DS'' have been restored, like the Mushroom-shaped cars, Bob-omb Cars, Wiggler Wagons, and the ability to drive on both the sidewalk and the rails of the bridge, though the Warp Pipe remains inaccessible. In addition, the course now uses the cars, trucks, and buses from [[Tour Berlin Byways|Berlin Byways 3]], except the pick-up trucks. The tunnels are also reverted to their colorations from ''Double Dash!!'', though they now feature static mushroom-shaped lights instead of star-shaped ones that have light streak across them. Coins have been added to the sidewalk. The whirlpools beneath the bridge are also restored. The starting banner now sports a redesigned look while still having the classic Mario Kart logo. However, the starting line area has been reduced in width and moved up closer to the start of the first turn. More openings have been added to break up the wall to the right of the sidewalk. The shortcut is noticeably more curved. The course's minimap has also been rotated 90° clockwise.
 
The course also appears as '''Mushroom Bridge R''' (reversed), '''Mushroom Bridge T''' (with ramps), and '''Mushroom Bridge R/T''' (reversed with ramps). In the R variant, only about a third of the course still has moving traffic, consisting of cars and Mushroom cars. In the T variant, only special vehicle types (Mushroom cars, Bob-omb Cars, and Wiggler Wagons) remain on the road, and all traffic gets launched off of a dash panel ramp at the end of the track. In the R/T variant, moving traffic is removed altogether.
 
Uniquely, when the player finished a race on any variant, the course's music continued until the fanfare played. This was patched since the [[Vacation Tour]].
 
===Course traffic patterns===
This version of the course, in its default variant, has 21 vehicles.
*'''Left lane:''' Blue car, Mushroom car, [[List of sponsors debuting in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe#Toad City Sightseeing|Toad City Sightseeing]] bus, blue car, [[List of sponsors debuting in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe#Propeller Toad Transport|PTT]] truck, red car, PTT truck, Mushroom car, Toad City Sightseeing bus, PTT truck, Wiggler Wagon, Bob-omb Car

Mushroom Bridge returns in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]'' as the setting for the [[Groove Pipe Snowboard]] [[Dream Event]], though the event uses a track with a completely different layout. The entire road is covered in snow and the course is mostly downhill with Warp Pipes and a [[cannon]] to take racers to the top of each island. On the part of the course that takes racers over the bridge, Wiggler Wagons will continuously spawn on a part of the road that's out of bounds and out of sight, drive in the same direction as players, and then despawn out of bounds afterwards. Each Wiggler Wagon has a dash panel ramp on the back. Unlike in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' and ''Mario Kart DS'', the course now has a ''New Super Mario Bros''-esque aesthetic.
Mushroom Bridge returns in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]'' as the setting for the [[Groove Pipe Snowboard]] [[Dream Event]] as the game's equivalent to [[Mario Circuit]] as in the [[Dream Ski Cross]] event from ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]''. Like the aforementioned event, the entire road is covered in snow and the course is mostly downhill with Warp Pipes and a [[cannon]] to take racers to the top of each island. Wiggler Wagons can be seen on roads that are inaccessible to the players and a single stationary Wiggler Wagon on the bridge serves as a small ramp for the racers. Unlike in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' and ''Mario Kart DS'', the course now has a NSMB-esque aesthetic.

Like in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', it is possible to ride up the bridge's beams which are still inlaid with Dash Panels, if done successfully without falling off a ramp will take them to Warp Pipes faster than if the lower route was taken, these Pipes still lead to the same destination as the Pipes below. Throughout the track there are also grind rails which can either lead to alternate pathways or help to boost the player's speed.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qcdA-vlo3w Youtube - (Mario & Sonic Sochi 2014) Groove Pipe Snowboard]</ref>

==Trivia==
*Due to the fact that this course is across the sea from [[Mushroom City|a bustling city]] (as seen in both aformentioned courses), Mushroom Bridge may very well be based off of the real-life Brooklyn Bridge in New York City.
*The whirlpools below the bridge are a sort of reference of the whirlpools that commonly appear in Japanese seas.
*In the course's icon in ''Mario Kart DS'', the [[Cheep Cheep]] reads "Flesh" instead of "Fresh", an error also seen in the game's kiosk demo. Also, there are three "Flesh" trucks in the demo, and only one in the final version.
*In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', there is a smaller, similar bridge like Mushroom Bridge in the course [[Moonview Highway]].
*If the player breaks the Item Box or Bob-omb Car, a new one with similar programming to the old one will respawn out of the pipe shortcut near the finish line. If the player attempts to destroy a Bob-omb Car within the first two seconds of its respawn out of the pipe, it will lift the player up without exploding. However, if the player hits both the Bob-omb Cars programmed to drive on the right lane, they can still blow up as soon as they come out, as the moving Item Boxes and Bob-omb Cars stop to let the other moving objects programmed to go in front of them come out before them.
*Each vehicle in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' wobbles slightly when it moves. If the player looks at the vehicles' movements on the bridge, they will move in and out of the line. The [[Wiggler Wagon]]'s wobbling is most noticeable out of all the vehicles.
*There are subtle differences in the speed of the vehicles running in the course in ''Double Dash!!''. It takes about two minutes for a vehicle to complete one lap around the track and each vehicle has a moving speed of approximately 15 miles per hour, as the vehicles still go faster than a player's kart's backing up speed, which is 14 miles per hour. The speed difference is not noticeable if the player follows them for a short while, but for each lap the vehicles travel around the course, they will move closer or farther a tiny bit depending on vehicle they are in front of or behind. The Wiggler Wagon (both the 10- and 20-wheel versions) is the slowest, followed by trucks, buses, cars (including Mushroom Cars, moving Item Boxes). and [[Bob-omb Car]]s. If the game is left unpaused for more than an hour, all the vehicles on the right lane will have eventually caught up to the Wiggler Wagon and all the vehicles on the left lane behind a truck will have caught up to the truck. One of the Express trucks in single-screen mode behind the Star Travel bus in the left lane has the equivalent speed of a bus, mainly because it drives in a near-straight line, as opposed to the rest, which wobble.
*When the players are about to start the race, a Star Travel bus (Peach Beach bus in Versus mode with no items), moves from the right lane to the left lane. This is the only time seen where an actual vehicle (not counting Bob-omb cars or moving Item boxes) moves from one lane into the next.
*Several vehicles in the game are programmed to let the moving Item Boxes and Bob-omb Cars coming out of the pipe shortcut players can take go in front of them. Others do not stop for them. If a player lines up all the cars using [[Super Star|Stars]] on the left lane, only the Peach Beach bus in single-screen mode (or the first Star Travel bus in split-screen mode) will stop for the Bob-omb Car on the left lane. If said vehicle passes the [[Finish Line (object)|Finish Line]], the Bob-omb Car on the left lane is forced to wait until there are no more vehicles before it can enter the left lane.
*The left lane moving Item boxes and Bob-omb car can drive through the right lane vehicles without stopping. Exploding the Bob-omb car as it drives through the right lane will toss the vehicle the Bob-omb car drove into in the air. If it is another Bob-omb car, it will also explode. The Wiggler Wagon and moving Item boxes are immune to said damage. Players can also do this in [[Mushroom City]].
