| '''Toad's Turnpike''' (transliterated as '''Kinopio Highway''' on a few occasions<ref>{{cite|date=December 1996|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) issue 51|page=28 and 29}}</ref><ref>{{cite|date=April 1997|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (Australia) issue 49|page=40}}</ref>) is the first course of the [[Flower Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', as well as the third longest course in the game (behind [[Wario Stadium]] and [[N64 Rainbow Road|Rainbow Road]]). It takes place on a public road at night. There are vehicles driving on this course which cause the racer's [[kart]] to launch into the air if a collision between the two occurs. The overall shape of this course is roughly a figure 8, with some parts of the road with varying lane quantity. | | '''Toad's Turnpike''' ('''Toad Highway''' in the Japanese and PAL versions) is the first course in the [[Flower Cup]] of ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. It is named after [[Toad]] and pictures of him are seen on the boundaries of the racetrack. The race track takes place on a public road at night. There are vehicles driving on this course which cause the racer's [[kart]] to fly if a collision between the two occurs. The overall shape of this course is roughly a figure 8, with some parts of the road with varying lane quantity. All [[Item Box]]es of this track are located in the edge of a concave area where the road includes. |
| | |
| Toad's Turnpike reappears as a [[classic course]] in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the fourth and last course of the [[Shell Cup]]. The ''Mario Kart 8'' version of the course now takes place at Toad City and features a {{wp|turnpike}} service area at the [[Finish line (object)|finish line]], making the course more accurate to its English and Dutch names.
| |
| | |
| This course is the first in a series of similar race tracks in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, to be filled with [[Car (obstacle)|cars]] and other vehicles that drive along the road and serve as obstacles. Similar tracks include [[Mushroom City]] and [[Mushroom Bridge]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', [[DS Shroom Ridge|Shroom Ridge]] and the returning Mushroom Bridge in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', [[Moonview Highway]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', [[Wuhu Loop]] in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', and [[Tour Berlin Byways|Berlin Byways 3]] in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. Despite being called a turnpike, there are no booths.
| |
| | |
| A portion of this course's music is rearranged in the music of ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''{{'}}s [[3DS Neo Bowser City|Neo Bowser City]].

| ==''Mario Kart 64''== | | ==''Mario Kart 64''== |
| ===Course layout===
| | In 50cc, 100cc, and 150cc, the vehicles go forward in the direction where karts go. The engine class also affects how fast the vehicles move; traffic moves slowly in 50cc, but is quite fast in 150cc. The difficulty resides in the fact that the larger vehicles go slowly through the road, sometimes blocking the player (especially when approaching the finish line). In Mirror mode, the vehicles come in the opposite way at a rather fast speed (same speed as from 150cc), which can provide difficulties for the racers. |
| The course takes place amid a very late sunset and is quite straightforward in terms of track layout. Players immediately leave a merging starting area to enter a figure-8-esque roadway featuring many moving vehicle obstacles; these include white [[Car (obstacle)|cars]], turquoise tanker [[Cargo truck|trucks]], red box trucks (which can carry three different cargo types), and yellow school [[Bus|buses]]. Players remain on this roadway for the rest of the race, never returning to the starting area. Each lap then consists of a 90° turn to the left, a U-turn to the left, a U-turn to the right, and a 90° turn to the right, with each turn being very long and gradual. At the beginning of the right U-turn, the roadway merges into two lanes, and remains this way until racers pass the finish line. Various points of the track have small openings with four [[Item Box]]es in each. A thin line of grass borders both sides of the track and is blocked off by a white fence. Should the player be knocked over the fence by items such as a [[Red Shell]], [[Lakitu]] will bring the player back to the main road. Beyond the tall walls that border the racetrack, billboards of Toad can be seen, making it his home track in the game. No other decorations can be found besides a lone Nintendo billboard and a large number of street lamps.
| |
| | |
| In 50cc, 100cc, and 150cc, the vehicles travel forward in the same direction as players. The engine class also affects how fast the vehicles move; traffic moves slowly in 50cc, but it is quite fast in 150cc. The difficulty resides in the fact that the larger vehicles go slowly through the road, sometimes blocking the player (especially where the roadway is two lanes, and vehicles often travel side-by-side, making it difficult to steer between them). In the Extra mode, the vehicles instead drive against players at the same speed as in 150cc. While each engine class in Versus races contains the same number of vehicles (seven of each kind, totaling 28), Time Trials feature one extra of each vehicle type on the course. | |
| | |
| ==''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''==
| |
| Toad's Turnpike makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the fourth and final course of the [[Shell Cup]]. The course now takes place in '''Toad City''', as seen on some cars<ref>{{file link|MK8-ToadCitySightseeing.png|A ''Toad City Sightseeing'' bus in Toad's Turnpike}}</ref> and signs in the course. Many of the billboards of Toad himself have been removed and replaced with traffic signs based on traffic signs in Japan, including a Mushroom sign reading "NO LIMITS", and advertising billboards, a notable one being for a highway information radio station on the frequency of 64MHz, which is a reference to the course's origins. A service plaza has been added at the start-finish line, giving the English name more significance, and, similar to [[Mushroom City]] from ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', the starting banner now resembles an {{wp|variable-message sign|electronic message sign}} (or "matrix sign"). The sky is also now completely dark and fairly cloudy, unlike that of the original.
| |
| | |
| Although the basic figure-8 shape remains, there are some layout changes. The track in general is much shorter and the roads are wider compared to the original. Some of the walls are now anti-gravity sections with [[Dash Panel]]s, which help avoid the traffic, but the route is slower. Furthermore, the start-finish line is now on the bridge over the middle of the loop, while the merging starting area has been removed. Players can use a [[Glide Ramp]] to fly over this part of the track, but falling onto the bridge requires the player to be rescued by Lakitu.
| |
| | |
| [[File:MK8 N64 Toad's Turnpike Starting Line.png|thumb|250px|The course, as seen from the starting line in ''Mario Kart 8''.]]
| |
| Item boxes, as well as coins, now move along the road, while the item boxes in the openings of the track are replaced with coins. The yellow school buses are now replaced by different colored transportation buses while the turquoise tanker trucks are gone. A few traffic helicopters are added, and the cars take a more realistic appearance, with some cars in different color schemes (not including the original white) based on Toyota Comfort taxis, popular in Japan, and the vehicles being scaled down to a size more proportionate to the racers. The empty [[Dash panel ramp truck|auto carrier trucks]] have Glide Ramps, and the pink pickup [[truck]]s have a surfboard which serves as a simple ramp. Vehicles in the left lane change lanes on every other lap of the course they complete, driving in the far left lane until the highway merges from three lanes into two; they indicate that they are changing lanes via orange turn-signal lights. Like in the original, the vehicles tumble over any racers that drive into them, but a [[Super Star]] launches them into the air and renders them harmless. Vehicles will also not tumble over any racers that are either driving too slowly or actively using a [[Boo]].
| |
| | |
| This is one of the three retro courses where the anti-gravity sections are optional, the others being {{classic-link|GCN|Sherbet Land}} and {{classic-link|GCN|Waluigi Stadium}}.
| |
| | |
| Toad's Turnpike is also used as one of the battle courses in ''Mario Kart 8''. The coin sections now have a single item box. Item boxes are also stationary. The pink pickup trucks and glider trucks are also absent.
| |
| | |
| ===Course traffic patterns===
| |
| This version of the course is notable for randomly selecting one of three different sets of vehicles for each race. Vehicles marked with an asterisk (*) have a simple ramp on top.
| |
| | |
| The first set, which is always chosen for Time Trials, has 29 vehicles.
| |
| | |
| *'''Left lane:''' Car, bus, glider truck, bus*, surfboard truck, bus, truck, truck, car, truck, car, truck, car, car, bus, bus, truck*
| |
| *'''Right lane:''' Bus, bus*, bus*, car, bus, car, surfboard truck, truck, truck, truck, glider truck, truck*
| |
| | |
| The second set has 37 vehicles.
| |
| | |
| *'''Left lane:''' Car, bus, car, truck, bus, car, bus, truck, bus*, bus, bus, surfboard truck, truck, glider truck, truck*, truck*, surfboard truck, bus, truck*
| |
| *'''Right lane:''' Car, car, truck, bus, truck, glider truck, truck*, car, bus*, truck, bus, car, truck, car, truck, bus, bus, car
| |
| | |
| The third set has 33 vehicles. However, this set also reverses the direction of traffic in the right lane (left in Mirror Mode) so that it now travels against players.
| |
|

| | This course was the first in a series of similar race tracks in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]], to be filled with cars that come at the player. This type of race track reappears in the form of [[Mushroom City]] and [[Mushroom Bridge]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', [[Shroom Ridge]] and the returning Mushroom Bridge in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', [[Moonview Highway]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', [[Wuhu Loop]] in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' and the returning Toad's Turnpike and [[Toad Harbor]] in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' though it has to be noted that Toad Harbor features cable cars following rails instead of cars. |
| *'''Right lane:''' Car, bus, truck, bus, bus, car, truck, car, car, truck, truck, bus, truck
| |
|
| |
|
| In all sets, cars can randomly appear as red cars, black cars, or as [[List of sponsors debuting in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe#Green Shell Taxi|Green Shell Taxis]], while trucks and buses randomly use a variety of designs.

| | Toad's Turnpike is set to return in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' as a retro course, this time being the final race of the [[Shell Cup]]. The course now takes place in [[Toad City]], as seen on some cars and signs in the course. Although the basic layout stays the same, there are anti-gravity sections among the walls at some points, which help avoid the traffic, but the route is slower. All racers now start on the area where vehicles drive on, instead of the joining starting section that used to be there. Some trucks have ramps that let players drive on them and a gliding pad, and some cars have a surfboard which serves as a simple ramp. Should one land on a normal truck, some will have a small ramp. The yellow school buses are now replaced by white transportation buses. |

| *CPU drivers in ''Mario Kart 64'' never drive on the side of the road that contains item boxes.
| | *While "[[wikipedia:Turnpike|turnpike]]" refers to a toll road, the name was not meant to be a description of the course: "turnpike" was merely chosen for alliterative purposes (both it and "Toad" start with "t"). The original Japanese name is the more generic "Toad Highway", and there are no features of an actual turnpike (i.e. toll booths) present in any versions of the game. In the ''Mario Kart 8'' rendition, however, the real turnpike was added in the starting line. |
| *This is the only course in ''Mario Kart 64''{{'}}s Flower Cup to not appear in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. | | *''[[Mario Kart 7]]'''s [[Neo Bowser City]] (Koopa City in the PAL versions) has a remixed version of this course's theme. |
