'''Piranha Plant Cove''' is a race course from ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. It debuted in the [[Exploration Tour (2023)|2023 Exploration Tour]] as its featured course. It is set on an archipelago containing underwater ruins with a [[Piranha Plant]] motif. Along the course are various hieroglyphs depicting 8-bit Piranha Plant sprites from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', and various engravings on [[Falling Pillar]]s are seen glowing bright turquoise. [[Thwomp]]s, [[Maw-Ray]]s, [[Clampy]]s, [[Cheep Cheep]]s, [[Jellybeam]]s, and [[Bulber]]s are featured as course and background elements. The underwater ruins of this course bear similarities to the {{wp|Temple of the Feathered Serpent, Teotihuacan|Temple of the Feathered Serpent}} of {{wp|Teotihuacan}}, while also seemingly being based on {{wp|Atlantis}}. The music for this course is in a 6/4 time signature. | '''Piranha Plant Cove''' is a race course from ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''.

The first two routes debuted together in the 2023 Exploration Tour, while the third route debuted later in the [[Mii Tour (2023)|2023 Mii Tour]]. All three routes are vastly different regarding the environments racers drive through; the first route focuses on the ruins, the second route takes racers on a nearby island, and the third route takes racers into a cave, passing shipwrecks. It is the third new course in ''Mario Kart Tour'' to have a re-route with a different starting line placement, after [[Los Angeles Laps]] and [[Tour Berlin Byways|Berlin Byways]], although unlike said courses, the starting line has a completely different appearance between variants. Piranha Plant Cove 3 is the first course in the ''Mario Kart'' series to take place entirely [[Underwater driving|underwater]]. | ||
Piranha Plant Cove | Alongside [[Piranha Plant Pipeline]], Piranha Plant Cove is one of two non-city courses from ''Mario Kart Tour'' that have yet to reappear as a [[classic course]] in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' – [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]] DLC. | ||

Similar to [[Dolphin Shoals]] from ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', this course's starting line is located underwater. When the race begins, racers are immediately met with a brief fork in the road; here, there are [[Falling Pillar|pillars]] that, throughout the race, may fall on to the road, similar to [[Wii Dry Dry Ruins|Dry Dry Ruins]] from ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' and {{classic link|GCN|Dry Dry Desert}} in ''Mario Kart 8''. When the two branches are connected again, racers drive up a large staircase with [[current]]s, decorated with stone [[Petey Piranha]] heads, that takes them up to the surface. Afterwards, racers drive along the ruins, beneath stone arches with the option to drive on top of one of them, taking 90-degree bends before diving back into the water, and driving down a straightaway and into a cavern featuring [[Thwomp]]s to be avoided, with [[Dash Panel|dash panels]] placed in front of them. This section has raised portions of the road with slanted sides, allowing for multiple [[Trick|tricks]] to be performed depending on the lines being taken. Racers take a few more turns before reaching the finishing line. | Similar to [[Dolphin Shoals]] from ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', this course's starting line is located underwater.

The course also appears as '''Piranha Plant Cove R''' (reversed), '''Piranha Plant Cove T''' (with ramps), and '''Piranha Plant Cove R/T''' (reversed with ramps). In the R variant, the first Thwomp is gone. In the T and R/T variants, racers drive on [[Kanaami Road]] outside of the ruins for a while, with both Thwomps having been moved to this section; in the T variant, racers use a [[Glide Ramp|glide ramp]] to return to the ruins. | The course also appears as '''Piranha Plant Cove R''' (reversed), '''Piranha Plant Cove T''' (with ramps), and '''Piranha Plant Cove R/T''' (reversed with ramps).

Racers start at the exact same place they start in the first route. When the race begins, racers follow a group of [[Fish Bone]]s and take a sudden sharp left turn to enter a crystal cave before serpentining round numerous shipwrecks. A large left turn is taken following the wreckages, taking racers through a rocky section decorated with numerous glowing corals.

A large left turn is taken following the wreckages, taking racers through a rocky section decorated with numerous glowing corals. Here, racers can drive over [[Water Geyser]]s and avoid [[Clampy]]s containing coins, similar to ones seen in [[3DS Cheep Cheep Lagoon]]. Taking another left turn, racers go underground beneath Piranha Plant Cove 2 to enter a sunken ruin filled with dilapidated sculptures of [[Petey Piranha]] after avoiding a giant [[Maw-Ray]] that lunges out and attempts to bite any nearby racers. Underground, there are many ramps players may use for jump boosts; however, it isn't long until a final right turn is taken, taking racers back to the finish line. On the first lap, racers are accompanied by a giant, fast Maw-Ray when they reach the starting line again. Racers follow this Maw-Ray into the cave during the opening of the second lap. | ||
