'''Moonview Highway''' is the second course of the [[Special Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. The course takes place in and around a lit up city at night with a full moon overhead. The course seems to combine elements of previous traffic-based courses in the series, namely [[N64 Toad's Turnpike|Toad's Turnpike]] from ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', [[GCN Mushroom Bridge|Mushroom Bridge]] and [[Mushroom City]] from ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', and [[DS Shroom Ridge|Shroom Ridge]] from ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', including the course taking place in a city at night like Toad's Turnpike and Mushroom City, the beginning portion taking place along a cliff like Shroom Ridge, an arched bridge and a tunnel like Mushroom Bridge, and the inclusion of the [[Bob-omb Car]]s present in both GCN courses.
'''Moonview Highway''' is a race track appearing in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. It is the second racecourse of the [[Special Cup]] within the game. The course takes place in and around a lit up city, most likely being [[Mushroom City]], at night with a full [[The Moon|moon]] overhead.
==Description==
The course takes place in a city at night. Since it is so dark, a light appears around the player while he/she is driving. The highway first runs through a forested area with a lot of cliffs that the player can drive on and go in top of. After the forested area is a bridge and then a road that leads into a city. After the city area, the place will then curve and return into the forested area, thus beginning another lap.


Moonview Highway reappears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting with the [[Night Tour]], and in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the third course of the [[Feather Cup]] in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]''.
Cars, trucks, and [[Bomb-Car|Bob-omb Cars]] roam around in the city, driving in a set pattern. If the player happens to drive in front of them, he/she will get squashed, as if the player is to get run over by another player with a [[Mega Mushroom]], and lose any items. The only car not to squash the player is the bob-omb car; it will simply blow up the player instead. If the player runs into the vehicles that are not bob-omb cars, the player will simply get knocked over, as if they were to get hit with a shell, and will not lose any items.  


==''Mario Kart Wii''==
Players who have the Mega Mushroom in effect may smash cars and bob-ombs with no ill-effect, but cannot move trucks at all. The Mega Mushroom player will simply bump into the truck as if it's a wall. However, a player with a star in effect will knock away any car. Any car caught in the blast of a [[Bob-omb]], including a bob-omb car will flip in the air, just like if a player runs into the car with a star.
===Course layout===
[[File:MoonviewCourseLayout.png|thumb|left|160px|An aerial view of Moonview Highway]]
The course begins in an area with steep cliffs and many trees along both sides. It follows the winding road of a highway that mostly lacks guard rails and is dense with traffic, including [[Car (obstacle)|cars]], [[Cargo truck|trucks]], and [[Bob-omb Car]]s. Like in the original iteration of [[DS Shroom Ridge|Shroom Ridge]], the traffic follows the Japanese system of driving, in which vehicles drive on the left side of the road (right side in Mirror Mode). Also, the Bob-omb Cars are absent from Time Trials. The track begins with racers driving straight and immediately encountering the first set of [[Item Box]]es, and the road soon makes a right turn followed by a left turn. Along this portion of the track, racers have the option to leave the main road and drive onto some nearby cliffs, one of which has a [[Dash Panel|dash panel]] ramp at the end. Additional Item Boxes can also be found along the cliffs. As the road makes several very slight turns, all paths swiftly converge, then there is a U-turn to the right. On the outside of this U-turn is some [[Kanaami Road]] which makes it easier to avoid falling off the track. The road then makes a slight turn to the left and goes over a bridge somewhat resembling that of [[GCN Mushroom Bridge]]. The bridge contains the second and last full set of Item Boxes, but no guard rail to protect racers from falling off either side. After this is a slight right turn followed by a brief straightaway. The straightaway leads into a set of toll booths that display the course's name and are controlled by the player's [[Mii]]s. Passing the toll booths will allow the player to enter the city section.


As racers enter the city section of the track, an alternate version of the course's music will begin playing. The city itself is decorated with numerous signs and billboards, including a large billboard for "The Mushroom Moon"; if there is a Mii in the race, the faces of [[Mario]] and [[Princess Peach]] will have Mii faces from the player's console. Additionally, the Fire Flower found on a Green Fuel billboard will also have a Mii face. The layout of this section is entirely composed of three straightaways with two right turns in between. Individual Item Boxes can be found throughout this section, but they are always quickly moving. The highway itself is now four lanes, with two on each side, and fully covered by walls that show a pattern of [[Shy Guy]] and [[Bowser Jr.]] faces. Various dash panels litter the track, a few of which span the width of the entire road. The vehicles from before now move about three times as fast, and they will constantly change lanes to avoid running over any dash panels. Towards the end of this section, racers enter a tunnel which has pillars in the middle of the road, serving as additional obstacles. After exiting the tunnel, racers pass through another set of toll booths and reach one more brief straight where the finish line is located. As this happens, the course's music returns to its default version.
==Course Layout==
[[Image:Moonviewhighway3.PNG|200px|thumb|right|One of the first turns of the track.]]
The track begins in an area where there are cliffs and a few trees. The player can mainly drive on the road of they highway, but may go up cliffs as well and drive on top of the cliffs. If the player decides to go on the road, they will see cars and trucks as obstacles in the  way. In the cliff area, there is a ramp that can boost the player and allows him/her to do a stunt and receive item boxes, but the player has a danger of falling into the forest below.  


Unlike every other Wii track, this track does not feature any notable shortcuts. In conjunction with the track's frequent obstacles and dash panels, this greatly limits the utility of some speed items. However, items that provide the player with invincibility can still be of great use.
[[Image:MoonviewHighway5.PNG|200px|thumb|left|The bridge that leads to [[Mushroom City]].]]
{{br|left}}
After a wide curve after the ramp and there is a bridge that leads to [[Mushroom City]]. Past the bridge, there is a toll booth that the player's [[Mii]]s control and open the gate that leads into the city. The path spilts from 2 to 4 roads and there are a lot of boosts. It is impossible to drive off-road in the city because of the walls on either side of the road. The player can choose to drive on the right side of the road, but due to it being the Japanese system of driving, the player has a danger of running straight into cars going the opposite direction. The cars seemingly try to avoid the boosts and also let the player know when they are changing lanes through orange blinking lights.


===Course traffic patterns===
[[Image:Moonviewhighway2.PNG|200px|thumb|The tunnel filled with cars and boost panels.]]
This version of the course has 28 vehicles.
After driving through [[Mushroom City]], there is a tunnel that has several more boosts. Cars may be present here, as well. No item boxes are present if one does not count the item boxes that move along with the traffic. The path is relatively straight and the only thing the player needs to watch out for is the pillars that hang in the middle and cars. After the tunnel, there is another toll booth, with another set of Miis opening the gates for the player that lead out of the city. The path merges again and thus begins another cycle around the city at the finish line, which starts another lap.

[[List of Mario Kart Wii tournaments#April 2010 Tournament 2|April 2010's second tournament]] required players to complete a Time Trial on a version of Moonview Highway with different traffic and with all traffic now traveling against the player, similar to [[N64 Toad's Turnpike|Toad's Turnpike]] in the Extra mode of ''Mario Kart 64''. Players start the Time Trial with a set of Triple Mushrooms.  The tournament was later repeated as the first tournament of November 2011, the second tournament of January 2013, and the first tournament of April 2014.

==Trivia==
*'''Left lane:''' Factory truck, blue car, Coconut Fruit truck, Factory truck, red car, Coconut Fruit truck, Factory truck, blue car, red car, Moo Moo Dairy truck, red car, yellow car
*Part of the track's theme bears similarity to the boss music from ''[[wikipedia:Kirby's Adventure|Kirby's Adventure]]''.
*'''Right lane:''' Yellow car, red car, Moo Moo Dairy truck, blue car, yellow car, blue car, Coconut Fruit truck, blue car, yellow car, Factory truck, blue car,  Moo Moo Dairy truck
*Some of the trucks read "[[Toad Factory]]", "[[Moo Moo Meadows|Moo Moo Dairy]]" and "[[Coconut Mall]]". The license plates<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ELTMaZoP18 Youtube- ''Mario Kart Wii'' License Plates]</ref> on these trucks are as follows:
**Toad Factory Truck: "[[1-Up]]".
**Coconut Mall Truck: "W1-1".
**Moo Moo Dairy Truck: "[[Super Mario Bros. 3|SMB3]]".
*The license plates on all of the cars (besides trucks) reads "POW", possibly a reference to the [[POW Block]].
*In "[[The Mushroom Moon#The Mushroom Moon|The Mushroom Moon]]" billboard, Petey Piranha is seen climbing a skyscraper, which may be a reference to the movie ''[[wikipedia:King Kong|King Kong]]''.
*The track bears similarities to many of the past ''Mario Kart'' traffic courses:
**It has toll booths operated by Miis. Turnpikes usually have toll booths (despite the fact that Toad's Turnpike didn't).
**Right before one enters the "city" section, there is a small bridge similar to the bridge featured in Mushroom Bridge.
**There is a large turn set atop a cliff above a forest with no railings similar to Shroom Ridge.
**In the Mirror version, an 8 bit-verison of Mario from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' can be seen on the top left.

Moonview Highway makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', starting from the [[Night Tour]]; it was the penultimate classic course added to the game, as well as the final Wii course. Cars now use designs from [[Tour Berlin Byways|Berlin Byways 3]], trucks use their ''Mario Kart 8'' designs, and Bob-omb Cars return with their design from {{classic-link|GCN|Mushroom Bridge}}. The number of vehicles on the map has been significantly reduced and all vehicles now move slower. Vehicles also no longer travel at a higher speed while in the city; one consequence of this is that the first section of the course now has much lower vehicle density. Within the city, vehicles no longer change lanes; instead, each one is assigned to either the inner or outer lane for the whole section.
|Jap=ムーンリッジ＆ハイウェイ<br/>''Muun Rijji ando Haiwei''
 
|JapM=Moon Ridge and Highway
The course itself has been slightly condensed vertically, which is most noticeable with the reduced distances between the tunnel and second toll booth, and said booth and the starting line. In the first section, the slope on the left cliff has been extended to cover the entire turn, but the slope on the right cliff has been cut short. All extra [[Item Box|Item Boxes]] along both cliffs have been removed, except for a few atop the dash panel ramp on the right side. The trickable slope that elevated the third patch of grass has also been removed. The guard rail on the left side of the road has been extended, now preventing racers from falling off until the U-turn before the bridge, and the bridge itself now also has guard rails on both sides. In the city section, many [[Dash Panel|Dash Panels]] have been rearranged somewhat, though many of the original placements are retained. These dash panels have also had their width increased. Lastly, all sets of Item Boxes no longer have gaps where traffic would drive through, and there is a new set shortly before the tunnel. The moving Item Boxes in the city section are still present as well.
|Ita=Autostrada Lunare
 
|ItaM=Lunar Freeways
Visually, the buildings in the city portion of the course resemble the ones in [[Tour New York Minute|New York Minute]]. Rather than having windows lit with different colors with an emphasis on yellow as in the original, building windows are colored in a variety of different shades, but are no longer multicolored on an individual basis. Spotlights aimed at the sky are now visible in the city portion of the course. The Mushroom Moon and Green Fuel sponsors have been recreated with 2D artwork, although Petey Piranha's cameo appearance in The Mushroom Moon has been replaced with Bowser. The Miis in the tollbooths are now replaced with [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s and [[Shy Guy]]s. The LED signs are now static images. The sirens heard in the city portion have been removed. The tunnel section now has fans attached to the ceiling. The toll booth opening sound now uses the one heard in {{classic-link|Wii|DK Summit}} and [[Tour Tokyo Blur|Tokyo Blur]]. The rabbit icon marking the exits of the city has been replaced with a yellow version of the heart icon used in ''Wii''.
 
The course also appears as '''Moonview Highway R''' (reversed), '''Moonview Highway T''' (with ramps), and '''Moonview Highway R/T''' (reversed with ramps). In the R variant, Mushroom cars from {{Classic|GCN|Mushroom Bridge}} appear on the course instead of Bob-omb Cars, some trucks have dash panels on them, and a [[Glide Ramp|glide ramp]] is added at the entrance of the city. In the T variant, moving vehicles only remain in the city section of the track, turning around at each set of tollbooths. Additionally, racers can glide up to an overpass which is otherwise inaccessible for all versions of Moonview Highway. In the R/T variant, moving vehicles once again are limited to the city, and this time only consist of cars and Mushroom cars. A glide ramp at the beginning of the course also allows racers to drive on top of the tunnel.
 
===Course traffic patterns===
This version of the course, in its default variant, has 20 vehicles. Vehicles marked with an asterisk (*) take the outer lane instead of the inner lane while in the city section.
*'''Left lane:''' [[List of sponsors debuting in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe#Burning DK|Burning DK]] truck, blue car*, [[List of sponsors debuting in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe#Moo Moo Meadows Milk|Moo Moo Meadows Milk]] truck, white car, red car*, Bob-omb Car*, Moo Moo Meadows Milk truck*, blue car, [[List of sponsors debuting in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe#Propeller Toad Transport|PTT]] truck, white car, Burning DK truck*

===Appearances===
Moonview Highway has only ever appeared in city-centric tours, indicating it may have been treated akin to a city course due to its urban theme.

==''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''==
[[File:MK8D Moonview City View.jpg|250px|thumb|right|{{classic|Wii|Moonview Highway}} in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'']]
Moonview Highway returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of Wave 5 of the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]''. It appears as the third course of the [[Feather Cup]]. The course is largely based on its appearance from ''Mario Kart Tour''. Cars now use their ''Mario Kart 8'' designs and the total number of vehicles on the map has been further reduced. Additionally, traffic in the left lane travels 50% faster than before and includes several surfboard [[truck]]s from {{Classic-link|N64|Toad's Turnpike}}. In the first section of the course, the left cliff now has a simple ramp on top. There are now [[Item Box|Double Item Boxes]] atop the dash panel ramp on the right cliff as well as on the sides of the bridge. In the city section, the dash panels that spanned the entire width of the road were removed, as well as the set of Item Boxes before the tunnel. The dash panels that remain now have their positions randomized between races, and they have once again been widened, now being as wide as one entire lane. The moving Item Boxes now behave differently, going through the toll booths and turning around instead of disappearing at both ends. Lastly, coins can now be found in different locations, with some trailing behind surfboard trucks. The course also receives numerous visual and auditory changes. For example, the lights on the bridge no longer alternate on and off, and the toll booth opening sound effect that plays when passing through has been reverted from the one heard at the aforementioned two courses and [[Super Bell Subway]] to the one heard in ''Mario Kart Wii''. The spotlights in the city now move and the yellow arrow signs in the city section are now green. Also, the course's minimap now displays the cliff portions near the start of the track. <ref>@NintendoAmerica (July 7, 2023).

Moonview Highway is one of two courses originating from ''Mario Kart Wii'' to appear in Wave 5 of the Booster Course Pass, with it appearing alongside {{Classic-link|Wii|Koopa Cape}}. Internally, the course is referred to as "Cnsw_63", implying it may have originally been intended to be the third course of the Acorn Cup. This slot previously had no prefix attached to it, and the reason for its change is unknown.

===Course traffic patterns===
This version of the course has 16 vehicles. Vehicles marked with an asterisk (*) take the outer lane instead of the inner lane while in the city section.
