'''Tilt-a-kart''' is a battle course in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. The course is a bunch of pixels that together make the sprite of [[Mario]], jumping, from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' The course is named ''Tilt-a-Kart'' because the course will tilt up and down making it easier for the racer to fall (Which of course, you don't want to happen). Item Boxes that are on the pixels can move and tilted down. This course is unlockable and is the hardest battle course.

'''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.  
==Trivia==
*The Background looks similar to the background of a hidden stage in [[Super Mario Sunshine]].

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.

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]]''.
