'''Tilt-a-Kart''' is a battle course in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' The course is a large platform that forms out the original, 8-bit, pixelated form of Mario, with the color palette that he had in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''

'''Tilt-a-Kart''' is the final unlockable battle course in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' It is unlocked when the [[Flower Cup]] is beaten in [[Mario Kart (series)#Modes of play|Mirror Mode]]. Its name is likely a reference to the {{wp|Tilt-A-Whirl}} type of amusement park equipment.


The course is simply a large platform made of tiles that together form the sprite of [[Small Mario]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' The white tiles bordering this sprite will reduce the speed of the [[kart]] significantly. During a battle, the course will tilt gently from side to side, hindering the battle. [[Item Box]]es here are affected by gravity, and will fall down in the direction the course is tilting towards, similar to the [[Daisy Cruiser (GCN)|Daisy Cruiser]]'s dining room. This is the only battle course where the player can fall out; if they do, they are placed on a small white platform up above and must drive off it to land back onto the course.  
As the name may imply, the course tilts side-to-side, slightly interrupting the battle. White tiles surrounding Mario's figure can slow down the [[Kart]]s that attempt to get into. As a result, these karts are easy target to be hit by an item. Aditionally, when [[player]]s fall off, they are placed on small white platforms above the Tilt-a-Kart, which they are forced to drive off of and onto the course. Like certain ones on the [[Daisy Cruiser]], [[Item Box]]es tilt around on the stage as the stage itself does.


In battle modes other than [[Battle Mode#Shine Thief|Shine Thief]], a unique music track plays. It begins with a short motif from the [[Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros.)|Ground Theme]] from ''Super Mario Bros.''; the rest of the song is a remastered version of [[GCN Baby Park|Baby Park]]'s theme, with an addition of crash cymbals played throughout the music track, the backing piano chords being swapped for an organ, and said chords being in a lower inversion.
This course is unlockable, and is unlocked when the [[Flower Cup]] is beaten in [[Mirror Mode]]. It is the last battle course to be unlocked.

The concept of a platform resembling this Mario sprite divided into tiles was later used in [[Toy Time Galaxy]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and [[Mario Squared Galaxy]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. The course's background also somewhat resembles that of the secret courses in [[The Secret of Ricco Tower]] and [[The Hotel Lobby's Secret]] from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''.  
==Trivia==
*The background of the course is somewhat similar to that of the Secret Areas in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''.
*The music in this course is somewhat based on that of the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' main theme and [[Baby Park]].
*Although it is essentially the same tune as that of [[Baby Park]], there is a slight difference in the music for this stage. The cymbals are louder, and the instrument that plays the chords in [[Baby Park]] is an octave lower.
*The battle course is similar to the 8-bit planet in the [[Toy Time Galaxy]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and [[Mario Squared Galaxy]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''.
*The fact that the players must drive off the white platform after they fall off the arena may be based on ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' when the players lose a life, they restart on a small platform above the stage, where they must jump off to start the game.
*This is the only battle course in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' that the players can fall off of.
