| '''Coconut Mall''' is the second course of the [[Flower Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. It is set in a shopping center which is located on [[Isle Delfino]].<ref>{{cite|author=Hodgson, David S. J.|date=April 27, 2008|title=''Mario Kart Wii PRIMA Official Game Guide''|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|isbn=978-0-7615-5970-2|language=en-us|page=56}}</ref>

|
| Coconut Mall also appears in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as the third course of the [[Banana Cup]], in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' DLC for ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the fourth and final course of the [[Golden Dash Cup]], and in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' as a course debuting in the [[Doctor Tour (2022)|2022 Doctor Tour]]. This course's presence in these four games, added to each in that specific order, means Coconut Mall is the only course in the series to appear in four consecutive games, and be added to them in release order. It, alongside [[Wii Mushroom Gorge|Mushroom Gorge]], [[Wii Koopa Cape|Koopa Cape]], and [[Wii Maple Treeway|Maple Treeway]], have appeared in four games in a row (every game since their debuts) if one counts the two ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' titles as the same game. | | '''Coconut Mall''' is the second course of the [[Flower Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. It is set in a shopping center, located on [[Isle Delfino]] (according to the Official ''Mario Kart Wii'' Game Guide published by Prima), but clearly next to a beach. That could indicate it is near [[Gelato Beach]]. Coconut Mall also appears as a retro course in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as the third track in the [[Banana Cup]]. |
|
| |
|
| Since ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Wii)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'', Coconut Mall's music has appeared in the [[Mario & Sonic (series)|''Mario & Sonic'' series]] as a selectable song when participating in events.
| | ==Description== |
| | The race takes place in a mall set in a beach setting. The first parts of this course are very straight, but it starts with two escalators going in opposite directions. The [[Pianta]] nearby will point to the escalator the player would want to go through, which is in this case, upwards. After that, the player may choose to go through three paths. One of them is descending into a lower level via escalator that always go downwards while the other two stay on the current level. |
|
| |
|
| ==''Mario Kart Wii''==
| | After the first turn, there is a fountain and another set of escalators, much like the beginning of the race. The player then needs to go up a passageway into another room with more fountains and some boost pads. |
| ===Course layout===
| |
| [[File:MKWii-CoconutMall2.png|thumb|left|[[Toadette]] racing on Coconut Mall]]
| |
| [[File:MKWii-CoconutMall1.png|thumb|200px|The mall entrance]]
| |
| The race starts at the entrance of a mall with a beach setting, near the parking lot. There are stairs that lead up to two escalators, which go in opposite directions, and switch directions every 50 seconds. A [[Pianta]] stands between the two and points at the one moving upwards, or at both if they are about to change directions. After that, residing in an upper level of the mall, the player has a choice to stay on the upper floor or to descend onto a lower floor via an escalator. If the player chooses to stay on the upper level, they can go either to the left or the right of the escalator leading downstairs with the left side having two [[Dash Panel|dash panels]]. If the player instead chooses to go downstairs, they will also have the opportunity to hit a dash panel by going to the left of the second escalator which comes down from the upper level. Afterwards, the routes meet up either via a [[Jump Boost|trick]] from the upper level, going down another escalator that leads to the lower level, or from driving from the lower level. There is a fountain there that the player can perform tricks on. After the fountain, there are two more escalators.
| |
|
| |
|
| After another turn in a metal passageway, the player reaches an outdoor courtyard called Coconut Garden with more stores. There are palm trees in planters which the player can perform a trick on and another fountain, as well as dash panels on the left and right of the area. [[Item Box]]es are found at the top of the fountain, where the player must be travelling at full speed in order to be able to receive an item. There is also a single Item Box on each of the two dash panels. Tables with umbrellas, palm trees, and the mall's pillars serve as static obstacles. | | After that, there is another room and a turn to the exit of the mall and into the parking lot. Cars with the player's [[Mii]]s on them will drive back and forth in the parking lot, which the player must avoid. If players hit the Mii's then they will be knocked back. After a final right turn the player will cross the start/finish line starting another lap. |
|
| |
|
| Following this, there is another metal passageway that leads upward to the left into a smaller room. Here, there is a store that sells Mario items such as a Green Mushroom Burger or Star Juice and is called "Coco Burger". There are two paths the player can then take. One is to the left with a dash panel before it, leading into another metal passageway, going up and to the right into a giant, glass ramp. Two dash panels reside in the giant ramp and the second takes the player out of the mall and into the parking lot, falling from a distance, allowing the player to perform a trick before dropping down. The other passageway leads into a room and also turns to the right. In the room, there is another planter and a palm tree with some item boxes around. There is also a dash panel ramp here which a trick can be performed off.
| | ==Course Layout== |
| | The race starts in the entrance of the mall, near the parking lot. There are stairs that lead up to 2 escalators, which go in opposite directions. The escalator going in the right direction is also the one the Pianta is pointing at. After that, residing in an upper level of the mall, the player has a choice to stay on the upper floor or to descend onto a lower floor via escalator. Either way, the player will then meet up either doing a stunt from the upper level, going down another escalator that leads to the lower level, or from driving from the lower level. There is a fountain there that the player can perform stunts on if the player decides to go over them. It is possible to fall offstage in this area if the player is going from the upper level to the lower level in which [[Lakitu]] must pick up the player if he or she happens to fall in there. After the fountain, the player has to face two escalators, behaving in the same manner as the first two escalators with a Pianta pointing the right direction again. |
|
| |
|
| Both of these ramps lead to the parking lot, where there is a metal ramp for the player to perform a trick and receive items from an Item Box. After a 90° turn right, three [[Car (obstacle)|cars]] driven by the player's Miis move back and forth, often blocking three corresponding dash panels. After this, there is a right turn to the [[Finish Line (object)|finish line]].
| | After another turn in a metal passageway, the player races in another room with more stores. There are palm trees with bumps for the player to do a stunt in, another fountain, and boost panels left and right of this room. Item boxes are found at the top of the fountain and bumps, and if the player drive over on top of them at full speed, he or she may receive an item. Tables with umbrellas, palm trees, and the mall's pillars may serve as static obstacles, in which the player may bump into them and simply lose his or her speed. |
|
| |
|
| Coconut Mall has a variety of [[List of sponsors in Mario Kart Wii|sponsors]]. Among the things to buy to eat are [[Mushroom]]s ([[Super Mushroom|red]] and [[1-Up Mushroom|green]]), [[Fire Flower]]s, [[Banana]]s, and [[Super Star]]s. The advertisements are filled with the player's [[Mii]]s. However, if the player has no Miis, default Miis appear on advertisements. On top of that, most customers in the mall are also the player's [[Mii]]s. The directory signs say "toilets" and "lift," British-oriented terms for "restrooms" and "elevator." This is present in the American version as well. This is one of the few ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' courses that, in non-English versions of the game, had some of the in-course signs translated in the original. In multiplayer mode, Miis only appear on the advertisements.

There is a flat boost panel that the player can still do a stunt on and the player will end up in the same area as the latter route. |
|
| |
|
| For this course in Time Trials, the staff ghost is [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]]. She rides the [[Sugarscoot]] for the Normal Staff Ghost, while the Expert one is her in the [[Wild Wing]].
| | In the parking lot, there are 2 metal ramps for the player to perform a stunt and receive items from an Item Box. After a 90 degree turn right, there are 3 cars with the player's Miis on them that drive back and forth, making them appear that they are trying to park. Boost panels are there right before the cars, making it difficult to hit them because a car may be just right in front of the boost panels. If the player happens to get hit by it, he or she will flip over and lose any items he or she has at the moment. A [[Star]], a [[Mega Mushroom]], or a [[Bullet Bill]] will knock the cars aside without any effect. After the last right turn after the cars is the start/finish line of the track. This starts the cycle of another lap. |

| ===Shortcuts=== | | ===Shortcuts=== |
| [[File:MKWii-CoconutMall7.png|thumb|190px|The off-road shortcut]]
| | In Coconut Mall, there is one shortcut, although it is normally recommended for Time Trials, and requires a Mushroom. After getting a Turbo Boost after the race starts, players must head up the stairs and then over the escalator. They then must head to the far right, staying near the glass windows with Miis behind them. After a very short distance, players should see an opening in the glass wall. They should swerve in there and use a Mushroom to boost over the carpet. They'll then exit the store after the Mushroom and drop back to the main course. Players can also keep to the right until they reach the right side of one of the escalators and get back onto the main course. On a side note, vehicles with high off-road stats can handle this shortcut without a mushroom boost. |
| There is one notable shortcut which requires a speed item. After going up the first escalator, the player must head to the right, staying near the glass windows with Miis behind them. After a very short distance, players should see an opening into a store. They must boost over the carpet, as it is an off-road surface. They then exit the store after the Mushroom and can perform a trick back onto the main course. However, if the player veers right instead of dropping back onto the main course, there is a longer off-road section that leads the player past the second set of escalators. Doing this, however, requires either three [[Dash Mushroom|Mushrooms]] or a different speed item. On a side note, vehicles with very high off-road stats (like the [[Tiny Titan]] and [[Magikruiser]]) can handle this shortcut and the extension without an item.
| |
| | |
| This course has a glitch that can by accessed by hitting the intersection point of 2 rails near the first fountain, which can be done multiple ways. Hitting this point knocks the player out of the course's boundaries without [[Lakitu (Mario Kart referee)|Lakitu]] rescuing them. While the out-of-bounds that can be explored is large, it can be used as a shortcut by driving through the parking lot to the right of the finish line. By hitting an invisible wall when entering the parking lot in a way that knocks them to left and driving through the car at the far end of the parking lot and returning to the finish line, laps will count.
| |
| | |
| ===Tournaments===
| |
| [[List of Mario Kart Wii tournaments#July 2008 Tournament 1|July 2008's first tournament]] required players to collect 50 coins scattered throughout part of the mall. Immediately after starting, players are able to hit a lone Item Box which will contain Triple Mushrooms. This tournament was later repeated as the first tournament of July 2010, the second tournament of December 2011, and the first tournament of March 2013.

| ==''Mario Kart 7''==
| |
| [[File:Wii Coconut Mall.png|280px|thumb|left|{{classic|Wii|Coconut Mall}} in ''Mario Kart 7'']]
| |
| Coconut Mall makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as the third course of the [[Banana Cup]]. The course is considerably shorter in length than that of the original Wii version. There are many changes that have been made to the course, mostly due to technical limitations of the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. Because all of the Piantas were removed, colored arrows were added to the escalators, with green arrows on the ones going up, and red arrows on the ones going down. The part under the glass floor is flooded. The first shortcut is no longer an off-road portion, meaning it can be cleared without the use of Mushrooms. The tables on the left side of the courtyard were removed. At the two jumps exiting the mall, the dash panel on the upper section was replaced with a [[Glide Ramp|glide ramp]]. In the parking lot, one of the Mii-driven cars was removed, and the remaining cars drive back and forth the whole width of the track; this is unlike ''Mario Kart Wii'' where two of the cars drove half the width. Additionally, there are no longer Miis on the inaccessible platforms, advertisements containing pictures of the player's Miis were removed, and all of the advertisements and signs are in English regardless of the language the game is being played.
| |
| | |
| This is one of the few retro courses in ''Mario Kart 7'' to display advertisements in the same places as the original course. Other examples include {{classic-link|GCN|Dino Dino Jungle}} and {{classic-link|N64|Luigi Raceway}}.

| ==''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''==
| |
| [[File:MK8D BCP Coconut Mall.jpg|280px|right|thumb|The course in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'']]
| |
| Coconut Mall reappears in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', as part of the first wave of the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]''. It appears as the fourth and last race of the [[Golden Dash Cup]]. Coconut Mall is the only ''Booster Course Pass'' classic course not originally from ''Mario Kart Tour'' to be the final course of a cup without serving as such in a prior game, as {{classic-link|DS|Waluigi Pinball}}, {{classic-link|Wii|Maple Treeway}}, and {{classic-link|3DS|Rainbow Road}} are the final courses of ''Mario Kart 7''{{'}}s Banana Cup, [[Leaf Cup]], and [[Special Cup]] respectively, while {{classic-link|Wii|Rainbow Road}} is the final course of ''Mario Kart Wii''{{'}}s Special Cup.
| |
| | |
| This time, the course is completely redesigned, retaining its shortened length from ''Mario Kart 7''. The archway starting line has been stylized to instead resemble two palm trees curving into one another with a pair of shopping bags and some palm tree leaves occupying the space between the top, and now uses the modern ''Mario Kart'' logo. Like with ''Mario Kart 7'', there are no longer posters containing Miis, instead, they are replaced with simple adverts. Among advertisements and sponsors in the course, signs that make references to the [[Vanilla Lake]] courses from ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' and [[GCN Dino Dino Jungle|Dino Dino Jungle]] from ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' are present, most notably at the starting line and just before the second U-turn. The escalators have now been replaced with flat [[Conveyor Belt|conveyor belts]], with arrows that are similar to the ones in the ''Mario Kart 7'' version, but much brighter. The floors are now orange instead of white. The top path exiting the mall is a [[Glide Ramp]] like in ''Mario Kart 7'', while the bottom path exiting the mall is a [[Ramp|boosted ramp]] similar to ''Mario Kart Wii''. The arches after the ramps and before the parking lot have been removed. Some other changes and additions include [[Mario Kart TV|MKTV]] vans parked outside the mall, a cruiser ship and sailboats appearing in the harbor outside of the mall, and the music being remade for the game. The course's music was also used for the reveal trailer of the DLC. This is the only course in the Booster Course Pass to feature [[Noki]]s, likely due to the mall being heavily influenced by ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' in its original appearance.
| |
| | |
| Inside the mall, the first shortcut is once again a shortcut that requires a speed boost to utilize, though its extension is no longer off-road and does not require any further boosts to execute. At the turn after the second pair of conveyor belts, there is a large mural of a landscape resembling an above-ground level from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', featuring [[? Block]]s, [[Brick Block]]s, [[Empty Block]]s, and [[Warp Pipe]]s. The Coco Burger restaurant before the turn into the Glide Ramp now features a sign reading "Food Park" above it. On the glide ramp, the "Have a nice day!" sign has been removed.
| |
| | |
| The section at the end with the moving cars also has a few changes. Like the ''Mario Kart 7'' version, there are only two cars, but this time they are occupied by two [[Shy Guy]]s instead of Miis. When the track was initially released, instead of moving around, the cars simply sat in one position while facing diagonally towards the racers, rather than sideways. They also no longer spun out anyone that hit them, instead simply acting as a wall that could be bumped into,<ref>{{cite|language=en|author=kart_tour|date=March 17, 2022|url=x.com/kart_tour/status/1504479215126671361|title=News: Apparently some hacker already managed to play Coconut Mall in an online race. (Thank you, @switchaswor) #MK8DKT #MarioKart8Deluxe|publisher=X|accessdate=March 17, 2022}}</ref> unless hit with a [[Super Horn]], Star, or [[Bullet Bill]], in which case the cars would fly into the air. While it is unknown why the cars were changed to behave like this initially, it was changed in the version 2.1.0 update; they are still positioned diagonally, but now move forwards and backwards slightly, in addition to occasionally performing a doughnut maneuver, which will spin out racers who come in contact with them like in ''Mario Kart Wii'' and ''Mario Kart 7''. However, this does not apply to Time Trials, as the cars will remain still in that mode, likely to avoid interfering with staff ghosts and records from before the update.
| |
| | |
| When the course was revealed, the mall's exterior was a bright, pale peachy color, but in the time between its reveal and release, it was updated to be a more vibrant orange. A video released by Nintendo on the [[Nintendo Switch]]'s news feed, advertising the pass after the first wave's release, shows footage of the older Coconut Mall, showing that the entire course originally had paler colors.<ref>{{cite|author=Nintendo UK|language=en-gb|date=March 18, 2022|timestamp=00:53|url=youtu.be/rAMh9ZG4k8E?t=53|title=Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass – Wave 1, out now! (Nintendo Switch)|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=April 4, 2022}}</ref> The reflections on the windows had also been changed during this time. The results screen following a Grand Prix or a VS match uses an image of the old design.
| |
| | |
| As with all other courses from Wave 1, this course's icon and lighting were adjusted slightly in the 2.1.0 update.

| [[File:MKT Wii Coconut Mall Interior.jpg|thumb|left|250px|View of the interior of the mall]]
| |
| Coconut Mall returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting with the [[Doctor Tour (2022)|2022 Doctor Tour]]. The course has several differences compared to its appearance in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''. The side passage following the shortcut has been completely blocked off, with the player only being able to go off a ramp back onto the main route. Additional ramps were also added to the sides of the [[Conveyor Belt|conveyor belt]] when entering the space with the first fountain, instead of the drop-off being trickable. The handrails of the conveyor belts can no longer be tricked or driven on and the conveyor belts themselves move much slower. The top route and bottom routes when the player exits the mall have had their ramps flipped compared to ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' on the normal variant of the course - the top route is now a normal ramp instead of a glide ramp, like in the original ''Mario Kart Wii'' version, and the bottom route has a glide ramp like in ''Mario Kart 7''. The courtyard has gray stone tiles instead of orange tiles. The ramp on the left side of the road upon exiting the mall has been made much wider. In addition, the cars have returned to their original size and behavior of moving forwards and backwards along the track. They are still occupied by Shy Guys, but can be ran over with the aid of a Mega Mushroom, a Star or a Frenzy. The course uses its original music from ''Mario Kart Wii''. Coconut Mall is the first course in ''Mario Kart Tour'' that did not have all of its variants debut together, but had them debut in tours with the same name.
| |
| | | |
| The course also appears as '''Coconut Mall R''' (reversed), '''Coconut Mall T''' (with ramps), and '''Coconut Mall R/T''' (reversed with ramps). The former two debuted alongside the regular version in the 2022 Doctor Tour, while the latter debuted in the [[Doctor Tour (2023)|2023 Doctor Tour]]. In all three variants, some conveyor belts either have their direction changed or are deactivated altogether. In the R variant, the cars retain all the properties seen in the ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' version prior to version 2.1.0, including their larger size and stationary behavior. In the T variant, the Glide Ramp and the Dash Panel have their positions switched, and racers briefly drive along the beach. In the R/T variant, the cars are gone and there is instead a [[dash panel ramp truck]]. Additionally, there is a water geyser in both fountains.

| ===Bonus challenges===
| | There is another shortcut that will save players a few seconds. After going outside for the first time, they must race back inside. Then, instead of driving on the huge silver ramp, they must stay to the right and go through a small tunnel until coming to a sun-filled room. Then, they can jump out of the room and race back to the regular course. |

| | This track reappears in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as the third race in the [[Banana Cup]]. There are many changes that have occurred to the course, mostly due to technical limitations of the Nintendo 3DS, but only a few of these affect the gameplay. Firstly, all the advertisements and mall-goers have disappeared, and there are colored arrows on the escalators to show the racers which direction they are moving. As well, some Item Boxes have been replaced with [[Coin|coins]]. The change to the gameplay is that, in both jumps that lead out of the mall and into the parking lot, they now encompass a gliding section. The last car with the player's Mii is removed, making it easier to hit the boost panel on the last one. Instead of Daisy being the staff ghost data on this course for time trials, Honey Queen takes her place. |

| *In the original ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' version of the course, the Dash Panels are rainbow-colored, similarly to the versions seen in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', whereas every other track in the game uses a pink-yellow-orange coloration. However, in early trailers for the game, it was shown that other courses originally had rainbow Dash Panels.<ref>{{cite|language=en|author=IGN|date=May 21, 2011|url=youtu.be/pgxaPGK4dj8|title=''Mario Kart Wii'' Nintendo Wii Video - E3 2007 Unveiling|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=June 28, 2023}}</ref>
