'''Tilt-a-Kart''' is the final unlockable battle course in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' It is unlocked by winning [[Flower Cup]] in [[Mario Kart (series)#Modes of play|Mirror Mode]].


The course is made up of giant tiles forming a sprite of [[Small Mario]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' White tiles are the only tiles to affect [[kart]]s, specifically by slowing them. The course sometimes tilts, affecting the movement of [[Item Box]]es a la the dining room of [[Daisy Cruiser (GCN)|Daisy Cruiser]]. Unlike other battle courses, it is possible for players to fall off in Tilt-a-Kart, after which they respawn on a small white platform to drive off of and re-enter the course.

'''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.]]'', a concept later used on the 8-bit planet in the [[Toy Time Galaxy]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and [[Mario Squared Galaxy]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. The battle course also has a background that somewhat resembles the special stages' from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''.


A unique music track plays in every mode except [[Battle Mode#Shine Thief|Shine Thief]]. 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.
As the name implies, the course tilts side-to-side, hindering the battle. White tiles surrounding Mario's figure can slow down the [[Kart]]s, making them easy targets for being hit by items. Additionally, when players fall off (this being the only battle course in the game to have this possible), they are placed on small white platforms above the Tilt-a-Kart, which they are forced to drive off of and onto the course, much like ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' when the player(s) lose a life as they restart on a small platform above the stage and resume gameplay by jumping off it. Like those in [[Daisy Cruiser]], [[Item Box]]es tilt around on the stage as the stage itself does.


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]]''.  
This course is unlockable, and is unlocked when the [[Flower Cup]] is beaten in [[Mirror Mode]], making it the last battle course to be unlocked. 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) yet there is a slight difference in the music. There are more cymbals, and the instrument that plays the chords is an octave higher.
