'''Moo Moo Meadows''' is the second race course of the [[Mushroom Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. It also reappears as a [[classic course]] in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' where it is the first course of the [[Shell Cup]]. The course is inspired by and serves as a successor to the ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' track [[N64 Moo Moo Farm|Moo Moo Farm]]. An arrangement of Moo Moo Meadows' music is heard in the second half of the credits music along with [[Luigi Circuit (Mario Kart Wii)|Luigi Circuit]]/[[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart Wii)|Mario Circuit]] and [[Wii Maple Treeway|Maple Treeway]].

In ''[[Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit]]'', a similar course known as [[Windmill Meadows]], which reuses the ''Mario Kart 8'' version of its music, appears starting from the version 2.0.0 update.

===Course layout===
[[File:MKWii-MooMooMeadows2.png|thumb|left|The area filled with [[Moo Moo]]s]]
[[File:MKWii-MooMooMeadows2.png|thumb|left|The area filled with [[Moo Moo]]s]]
The course is located in a rural area of green hills, with a river near a farm, and a few trees surrounding the track. The scenery around the track includes a milk cart, a barn, a windmill, a river with a bridge and some dirty paths leading to outside the meadows. At the start of the track, there is a brief straightaway and then a gradual turn left, passing a farm with a silo. About halfway through this turn is the first set of [[Item Box]]es. Then, there is another turn to the left leading the racer into the meadows where several [[Moo Moo]]s are grazing. On the first lap, they stay to the side of the road, but on the other laps, the Moo Moos cross the road, serving as obstacles for the players. If one happens to run into a Moo Moo, they flip over and lose their item. There are two herds of Moo Moos - one in the middle area of the meadow, and the other one in the turn exiting it.

If one happens to run into a Moo Moo, they flip over and drop their items. There are two herds of Moo Moos - one in the middle area of the meadow, and the other one in the turn exiting it.


After racers serpentine through the meadow, they encounter the second item set followed by a slight right turn and a simple blue ramp. After the ramp, there is a left turn where racers will encounter the first of several [[Monty Mole]]s. The Monty Moles will burrow around the track, leaving behind dirt trails that slow racers down, before stopping and trying to pop out of the ground to hit racers. After the left turn, racers enter an open area with multiple routes; several small grassy hills lie throughout the track and racers must weave around them, though there is a [[Dash Panel|dash panel]] ramp that allows them to jump over the first hill. The last item set can be found here; there are Item Boxes both floating in midair above the hill, and to the left and right of the hill. Several more Monty Moles are also found around the hills. After this section, there is a slight left turn and racers then reach the finish line.
After taking the turn, the player comes across a row of Item Boxes and a ramp. After the ramp, there is a turn to the left, which leads into an open area with Monty Moles and a windmill. Here, there are some small grassy hills and a [[ramp]] with a [[Dash Panel]]. There are then split paths that go around patches of grass. Item Boxes are also present, floating in the air if the player uses a ramp. After this section is a turn left, which leads to the finish line.


Moo Moo Meadows is one of two courses in ''Mario Kart Wii'', along with {{classic-link|SNES|Ghost Valley 2}}, that did not have an online tournament take place on it.

===Shortcuts===
===Shortcuts===
The first notable set of shortcuts can be found in the meadow. Two of the turns can be cut off, each only requiring a single [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]], but if the player has other speed items they can cross the entire meadow without needing to stay on the road. This can be especially beneficial when the Moo Moos are crossing the road itself.
*In the area with the Moo Moos, it is possible to go across the fields with a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] to avoid the moving Moo Moos and speed up.  
 
*Another one is in the area with the Monty Moles. A Mushroom can help the player speed across the grassy hills.
The second notable set of shortcuts can be found in the final section with the grassy hills; the player can use speed items to drive over the hills to save time and avoid being slowed down by the Monty Moles.

Moo Moo Meadows makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the first course of the [[Shell Cup]]. The course is also available in the [[Battle Mode]] of the Wii U version of ''Mario Kart 8''. Its layout is mostly retained but has several notable changes. The track as a whole is more varied and uneven in elevation. At the turn after the simple ramp, the outside of the turn has been elevated and ends in a [[Glide Ramp|glide ramp]]. The hills at the ending section have also significantly been reduced in size, expanding the main track as a result. The Monty Moles no longer leave behind trails that slow down racers; instead, the trails can be used as ramps for racers to perform [[Jump Boost|tricks]] off of. Lastly, the first set of Item Boxes now appears at the start of the first turn, the last item set is removed altogether, and Double Item Boxes appear at the second item set in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''.
Moo Moo Meadows makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the first course of the [[Shell Cup]]. The setting has changed to sunrise, and a rooster can be heard crowing at the start of the course intro. There are now more farms, variations of Moo Moos, and windmills. There are coins hanging on these windmills. A ramp with a [[Glide Ramp]] has been added during the left turn to the Monty Mole area. The once-bobbing trees are now stationary trees. The start/finish line banner is now similar to the banner on [[Thwomp Ruins]] and uses the modern ''Mario Kart'' logo. The music is now orchestrated, using more violin in the theme. This course is also available in the [[Battle Mode]] of the Wii U version of ''Mario Kart 8''.

Based on a city map that can be found in [[Super Bell Subway]], Moo Moo Meadows is shown to be located on the outskirts area of the city that contains both [[Toad Harbor]] and {{classic-link|Wii|Wario's Gold Mine}}, as well as the same city that {{classic-link|N64|Rainbow Road}} hovers over.<ref>[[Media:MK8 dSBS City Map.png|The map of the city where the Super Bell Subway course is found]]</ref>

Moo Moo Meadows appears in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Wii)|Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]'' as the location of the [[Dream Equestrian]] event, though the event uses a track with a completely different layout. Players must travel through the track carrying a wagon full of seven [[Yoshi Egg|Yoshi eggs]] and reach the finish line. The course features [[Kamek]], who tries to throws obstacles in the players' path, and a [[Chain Chomp]] that appears before the conclusion of the event.
