'''Piranha Plant Pipeline''' is a course from ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', making its debut in the [[Pipe Tour]]. As the name indicates, it is an underground network of [[Warp Pipe]]s with [[Piranha Plant]]s spread throughout the track. It is the second course introduced in ''Mario Kart Tour'' to be named after Piranha Plants, with the first being [[Piranha Plant Cove]], not counting its variants. The course's appearance and concept are similar to that of the unused "[[List of Mario Kart DS pre-release and unused content#Unreleased courses|dokan_course]]" from ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', both being named after [[Warp Pipe]]s and themed around their traversal; the first part is mostly similar in both courses, while the red pipe section of Piranha Plant Pipeline after the first turn in the white tunnel is similar to the second part of dokan_course.

Excluding courses released simultaneously, this course and [[Squeaky Clean Sprint]] mark the shortest period of time between the release of two new courses for the ''Mario Kart'' series, with only a 5-hour gap.

The beginning of the music references the chiptune sound effect Warp Pipes make, except slowed to match the tempo.
Piranha Plant Pipeline is the only new course originating from ''Mario Kart Tour'' to not appear in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass]]''. Since it does not appear outside of ''Mario Kart Tour'', it is the only course in the series that is completely unplayable outside of the Pipe Tour and its reruns.
==Course layout==
Racers start outside, in a mountainous, wooded environment. Going in a straight line, they enter a [[Warp Pipe]] and enter the pipe system. Racers continue driving forwards before approaching a wide left turn lined with a [[half-pipe]]. The pipe then serpentines, with every bend having its own half-pipe. Then, racers drive off of a [[Glide Ramp|glide ramp]] and may go through one of two pipes; a red one or a blue one. The red pipe takes racers to two right-angled left turns before taking them into a bendy white, transparent tunnel. The blue route makes racers go round a large right turn, before overlapping, and eventually taking racers on top of a moving green pipe that goes below the previously mentioned white tunnel. The white tunnel and the green pipe shortly take racers back to their respective red or blue pipes, before both routes meet up again in an orange section containing [[Fuzzy|Fuzzies]], [[Piranha Plant]]s, and [[Sidestepper]]s. Racers enter an underwater section before taking a large left turn, and finally leaving the pipes and returning outside, before driving down a brief straightaway to the finish line.
This course also appears as '''Piranha Plant Pipeline R''' (reversed), '''Piranha Plant Pipeline T''' (with ramps), and '''Piranha Plant Pipeline R/T''' (reversed with ramps). In all three variants, the Sidesteppers are gone. In the T variant, the Fuzzies are also gone, and racers are forced to take the red path on lap 1 and the blue path on lap 2. In the R/T variant, the Piranha Plants in the orange section are gone, the moving green pipe is also gone, and there is a glide ramp at the end of the green section.

==Trivia==
*The first four seconds of the music for this course sample the sound that plays when Mario enters a Warp Pipe in the original ''Super Mario Bros.'', albeit slowed down to 1/5th of the speed.
*The course's appearance and concept are similar to that of the unused "[[List of Mario Kart DS pre-release and unused content#Unreleased courses|dokan_course]]" ("dokan" being Japanese for "pipe") from ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', both being named after [[Warp Pipe]]s and themed around their traversal. However, its layout is considerably different.
