'''Maple Treeway''' is the third race course of the [[Star Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. It takes place in a large forest during autumn. The track consists of racing on tree branches, on the treetops and even within the trees themselves. [[Mega Wiggler|Big Wiggler]]s appear on the treetops, and driving into them will hinder any racer. [[Leaf pile]]s flank various parts of the track, and driving through them reveals [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]]s, [[Banana]]s, and rarely, [[Super Star|Star]]s. The course's name is a portmanteau of "maple tree" and "{{wp|freeway}}."

Maple Treeway reappears in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as the fourth and final course of the [[Leaf Cup]], in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting with the [[Halloween Tour (2020)|2020 Halloween Tour]], and in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the fourth and final course of the [[Rock Cup]] in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]''. It, alongside [[Wii Mushroom Gorge|Mushroom Gorge]], [[Wii Coconut Mall|Coconut Mall]], and [[Wii Koopa Cape|Koopa Cape]], 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.

===Course layout===
[[File:Mapletreeway1.png|thumb|Right after the starting line]]
[[File:Mapletreeway1.png|225px|thumb|left|Right after the starting line]]
The course begins with a left turn immediately followed by a right turn and a U-turn to the left. On the first right turn is the first set of [[Item Boxes]]. After the U-turn, racers are launched out of a Barrel Cannon across a lake and through the leaves of a giant tree. After landing from the cannon, racers make a right U-turn around the tree's trunk. Along this turn, the sides of the track curve upwards, and there are [[leaf pile]]s which racers can drive through; the leaf piles will either drop a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]], a [[Banana]], or nothing. Afterwards, racers pass through the first of several wooden structures, where there is another item set. This leads racers out of the tree and onto a giant tree branch, which forms a tight U-turn to the left and allows racers to gain height until they reach the top of the tree.  
The course starts out with a slight downhill curve approaching the first set of [[Item Box]]es. After the set of Item Boxes, there is a curve to the left which leads to a Barrel Cannon that blasts players into a giant tree, directly through its leaves and branches.


The top of the tree is a very wide circular area but nonetheless has fences on either side. It has two [[Mega Wiggler|Big Wiggler]]s that roam around; if racers run into one, they will bounce back but not spin out. The tree top area also has more leaf piles, most of which act the same as before, though the first leaf pile on the left is special: It has a 50% chance to drop a [[Super Star|Star]] and a 50% chance to drop nothing. When racers reach the other side of the tree top, they pass through another wooden structure and onto another giant tree branch. This one makes a right turn followed by a slight left turn before ending at a small gap. There is also a [[Dash Panel|dash panel]] on the left side of the tree branch followed by a dash panel on the right side.  
After the player lands, the player turns right and through some [[leaf pile]]s. The player will then exit the insides of the tree and make a left U-turn on a large branch. The turn on the branch is very tight and the player can fall off both sides if they happen to drift incorrectly. It leads into a large circular area on the top of the tree with two [[Big Wiggler]]s on it who move about as obstacles. There are also some more leaf piles for the player to drive through. The Wigglers will bounce back the player if the player crashes into them.  


Racers then reach a section of the track that is made of parts of a hollow tree branch. It has two dash panels that lead into a U-turn. On the outer edge of the U-turn, there is a [[Half-pipe (object)|half-pipe]] with another set of Item Boxes above it. Afterwards there is another small gap and a straightaway where players pass several more leaf piles, before the track narrows and racers follow the hollow tree branch into the trunk of the tree; the trunk is also hollow, and racers use a narrow bridge to get across the gap. Shortly after this, racers exit the tree, passing through another wooden structure, and go off a dash panel ramp onto a giant tree stump. On the sides of the stump are two more wooden structures that are inaccessible. Racers drive onto one last giant tree branch that makes a slight left turn and has one more item set, then reach a wavy rope bridge that racers can [[Jump Boost|trick]] off of. After this bridge is one last straightaway with a split path. If racers go straight, they are able to trick off of two large tree roots and/or drive through several more leaf piles. There is a second special leaf pile here, found to the left after the first tree branch, which behaves like the other one. Alternatively, racers can choose a narrow path on the left or right side of the track, both of which take them straight through two trees, have individual Item Boxes, and end with dash panel ramps. After the three paths join, racers reach the finish line.
After the Wiggler area, there is a right turn that slightly dips on a branch, which has two [[Dash Panel]]s on it. The player may also fall off both sides in this area, so the player must be careful about using the Dash Panels lest they boost off the track. Also, if the player is very slow, they will fall off before the curve with a [[Half-pipe (object)|half-pipe]] ramp, since there is a small gap in-between the Dash Panel sections and the section with the half-pipe ramp. Similarly, the curve following the half-pipe leads right towards a small crevice that it is possible to fall into. On the ramp are Item Boxes that the player can use. After these turns, the track straightens out, with some more leaf piles strewn about. Along this straightaway, the player will drive across a narrow bridge, which makes it easy for heavier players to knock lighter players off.


===Shortcuts===
After the bridge is a ramp with a Dash Panel on it. The player then lands on one more thick branch. After a very slight turn to the left, there is a rope bridge shifting up and down, which the player may perform tricks on. The A.I. tends to fall off in this area of the course, and the wavy bridge may also throw the player off course when performing stunts, sending them off the track. After the bridge is a wide straightaway with two side routes that go up into the trees, with two tree roots obscuring the main path. The player may perform a trick if they manage to drive off them like a ramp. The side routes feature an additional Item Box each, and end with a ramp with a [[Dash Panel]]. After the routes converge, the player will reach the [[Finish Line (object)|finish line]].
The first notable shortcut can be found as soon as the race starts. There is a gap in the fence to the right just before the first turn; the player can use a Mushroom to drive across the off-road found in this gap and access an alternate route. The route involves a left turn into a dash panel, where there is a pair of Item Boxes. The player can then use a bridge to cross the main path below them, use another dash panel, and take a slight left turn until they reach the cannon. This shortcut can be especially advantageous because time is not saved until after the player hits the Item Boxes, allowing them to grab an item and immediately bring it into a higher position than expected.


The other notable shortcut can be found at the U-turn with the half-pipes. By driving near the left edge of the tree branch before the U-turn and using a Mushroom while aiming right, the player can skip the turn entirely and land on the subsequent straightaway. This shortcut is much more difficult than the first. It possible to perform without a Mushroom, but becomes even more difficult in the process.<ref>Marc (March 6, 2012).

====Shortcuts====
*After the player starts the race, they will see a small opening to the right of the track. Once the player swerves into the opening, they may use a Mushroom to boost over the slow overgrowth, and then they will drive across a small wooden bridge. On the bridge is a Dash Panel and two item boxes. After they exit the bridge, the driver will be a short distance away from the large cannon. Despite having a large off-road portion at the start, it can be considered more optimal to take the cut without a Mushroom since that grants racers better items due to being in a lower place, and the route shaves off enough after that it allows them to quickly take said items into a high position.
*A very difficult shortcut can be performed just after the Big Wiggler section. By driving near the left edge of the tree branch before the U-turn and using a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] while aiming right, it is possible to skip the turn entirely and land on the subsequent straightaway. This can also be performed without a Mushroom, though it is even more difficult.<ref>Marc (March 6, 2012). [https://youtu.be/ua4vPuVj24s MKWii Maple Treeway U-Turn skip]. ''YouTube''.

[[List of Mario Kart Wii tournaments#November 2008 Tournament 1|November 2008's first tournament]] required players to collect 15 coins hidden in leaf piles on the tree top section. Additionally, there are now five [[Mega Wiggler|Big Wiggler]]s roaming around the area. This tournament was later repeated as the first tournament of November 2010 and the first tournament of March 2012. It was also repeated as the second tournament of May 2013, but with a vehicle restriction of karts only.
The first tournament of November 2008 took place at Maple Treeway. Players had to collect all fifteen coins that were hidden in the leaves in the least time possible. Four [[Big Wiggler]]s were roaming around the area as well. The tournament was later repeated as the first tournament of November 2010 and later the first tournament of March 2012. It was also repeated as the second tournament of May 2013, but with a "karts only" restriction.

The launch after the start/finish line (which has the classic ''Mario Kart'' logo recolored from lilac/light brown to orange/yellow) now encompasses a [[Glide Ramp]]. Players can no longer aim their flight and they are also no longer immune to items while in the launcher, and being hit by anything (or intentionally stowing their glider) will result in having to be rescued by [[Lakitu (Mario Kart referee)|Lakitu]].

After the [[Big Wiggler]] area, the branch with two Dash Panels is now flat. The half-pipe after the branch with two Dash Panels was also removed. After the final turn of this track, instead of a waving metal net off which racers can perform tricks, a Glide Ramp allows them to cross the large gap. Additionally, the leaf piles may also now release [[coin]]s and [[Green Shell]]s. Despite the course being slightly shortened, it is the longest classic course in the game, now being longer than [[Wii Koopa Cape]], unlike in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. It also includes a falling leaves effect.

{{classic|Wii|Maple Treeway}} reappears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', starting with the [[Halloween Tour (2020)|2020 Halloween Tour]]. It is the first course originally from ''Mario Kart Wii'' to reappear in the game. The track plays akin to its ''Mario Kart 7'' iteration, but with a few subtle changes, such as the removal of the [[Dash Panel]] on the bridge at the beginning, the leaves on the course being made a more solid orange, the section after the treetop being widened, and the halfpipe ramp from ''Mario Kart Wii'' being reimplemented in the same location. The track was visually overhauled, with a more fantasy-like feel and the section up to the top of the tree being redesigned to be more open, showing the landscape. The [[Mega Wiggler|Big Wiggler]]s on the treetop now spin racers out instead of pushing them back and they now walk around the treetop clockwise instead of counterclockwise. The ''Mario Kart'' logo on the starting banner has also changed to the modern logo and recolored to white/dark brown. It is the first course in ''Mario Kart Tour'' to include half-pipe ramps from ''Mario Kart Wii''. {{classic|Wii|Maple Treeway}} is the third course after {{classic-link|DS|DK Pass}} and {{classic-link|DS|Airship Fortress}} to be the signature course of two tours (the 2020 Halloween Tour and the 2021 Autumn Tour).

Also like in Merry Mountain, the halfpipe also has the appearance and effect of an [[Antigravity Panel]]. The Dash Panels along the shortcut that were removed in ''Mario Kart Tour'' were restored. The [[Mega Wiggler|Big Wiggler]]s also now move around differently and will spin out any player that collides with it at a high rate of speed. Like ''Mario Kart 7'', the mini map now has shaded areas signifying roads normally covered by the large maple tree section, specifically for the road directly after the first gliding section and the bridge leading to the tree's exit.

Excluding ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''{{'}}s [[Rainbow Road (Mario Kart 8)|Rainbow Road]] theme, which is used in all trailers for the ''Booster Course Pass'', {{classic|Wii|Maple Treeway}} was one of two courses whose music was used for the second trailer for Wave 3, alongside {{classic-link|3DS|Rainbow Road}}.
