'''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.

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.
'''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 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]]''.  
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 a room in [[Daisy Cruiser (GCN)|Daisy Cruiser]]. 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.
 
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 [[Baby Park]]'s theme. Notable differences include the use of cymbals on every beat and the pitch of the song being noticeably lower.
