'''Wario's Gold Mine''' is the fourth and final course of the [[Flower Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. This course features steep declines and sharp turns and lends itself to the frantic, roller coaster gameplay of [[Wario Colosseum]] from ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. [[Swoop]]s may slow down the players if they run into them. Inside the mine, there are [[Mine Cart|mine cart]]s which act as obstacles.

==History==
==''Mario Kart Wii''==
===''Mario Kart Wii''===
===Course layout===
This course is set in Wario's industrial gold mine, during sunset. Smoke billows out of the tall pipes surrounding the track, and several house-like structures have been built against the cliffside. Towering wooden railways serve as the majority of the racetrack, supported by either long wooden beams or suspension cables. Most of the track lacks railings, increasing the opportunity to fall off. Inside the vastly open mine, minecarts can be seen either traveling the railways or being carried along a zipline. Swoops can be found flying out of the mine at both the entry and exit. Banners with Wario on them can be seen held above the track, and a cutout of Wario points downwards at the wide tunnel following the mine cart area. If a player is racing as a [[Mii]], the head of a random Mii will replace the cutout's head.
 
====Course layout====
[[File:Wario's Gold Mine MKW Toad Screenshot.png|thumb|Entering the mine]]
[[File:Wario's Gold Mine MKW Toad Screenshot.png|thumb|Entering the mine]]
The course begins with a slight right turn where the track immediately narrows and racers must begin driving on a track made of wooden planks and rails. After a slight left turn, the track quickly curves downward and racers drive downhill while using a [[Dash Panel|dash panel]]. The track then curves upwards and racers drive uphill until it evens out. The first set of [[Item Box]]es can be found on this part between the downhill and uphill track. After a left turn, racers encounter a U-turn where they can either stay on the track as normal, use a small ramp to cut off part of the turn, or go to the outside of the turn where there is a [[Half-pipe (object)|half-pipe]] with three Item Boxes above it. The track then goes through a tunnel where racers must avoid swarms of [[Swoop]]s while making two slight turns. After the tunnel, racers enter a huge cavern where the mine is located. A more techno-styled variation of the music plays while racers are inside the mine. They then turn right once again before the track curves downward and then upward as it did at the beginning of the track, ending with a dash panel ramp and another item set floating above.


The track that racers land on is now wider than before, but one of the rails on the track is actively being used by [[Mine Cart|minecarts]] that travel in the same direction as racers and will make them flip over when hit. However, every other minecart has an Item Box trailing close behind. The minecart rail starts on the left side of the track but then briefly goes down the middle and then onto the right side as the track narrows, before quickly curving back over to the left side. As this happens racers must make a few slight turns, and are then encouraged to turn right as the minecart rail separates from the track. At this part, there is a picture of Wario above the track; if a player is racing as a [[Mii]], Wario's face on the picture will be replaced with a random Mii's face. When turning right they immediately encounter another item set before driving on a shortened version of the downhill-uphill shape found earlier in the track. When the track evens out, racers return outside and must take a slight left turn followed by a slight right turn before driving straight. Below the brief straight there are some [[Warp Pipe|pipes]] which will occasionally produce exhaust that partially blocks racers' vision. After this, a 90° turn to the right brings racers to the finish line. To the left of the finish line there is another half-pipe and two more Item Boxes.
The track begins with a slight curve to the right, hooking left until taking Dash Panels into an extreme dive downhill into the first line of [[Item Box|item boxes]]. The dip immediately evens out with an uphill climb back up, leading into a left turn. Next are two right turns, during which players can deviate outward to a [[half-pipe]] to pick up items. A small ramp lines the inner corner of these turns, and can be used as a minor shortcut. A small straight leads into the mine's entrance, where players can run into Swoops which fly in the opposite direction. These bats do not spin out racers when touched, though they can interrupt [[wheelie]]s. Upon entering the mine, the track takes a slight left into a long right turn and another extreme dip. Coming up from the dip sends the racers flying off a trick jump onto a wider railway being held in the air by suspension cables. Minecarts travel along the rails on a set path in the same direction as the racers, some towing item boxes. Making contact with the carts will deal a heavy blow to racers similar to that of a [[Bullet Bill]]. After a slight left and a lengthy right, the track veers left into a split path. Going right leads into a small dip and exits the mine, but following the carts towards the left will lead to a narrower path within the rocky walls, containing Dash Panels and a jump out onto the ground. Next, a brief straight brings the racers into a wide right turn, which features another thin shortcut ramp along the inner corner and a half-pipe along the wall, as the track ends at the finish line.


There is also an alternate route: If racers follow the minecart rail instead of turning right when it separates from the track, they can enter an alternate route that is much more narrow but contains two dash panels. At the first dash panel is a pair of Item Boxes. Taking this route requires racers to make a right turn and then a slight left turn before reaching a dash panel ramp that will lead them outside to the brief straight at the end.
A more techno-styled variation of the music plays when the player is inside the mine.

===Glitches===
====Tournaments====
There is a large glitch shortcut at the starting line. The player must turn around shortly after the starting line, use a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]], and jump onto a pipe below the brief straight at the end of the track. If the player is not counted out of bounds, they will bounce off the pipe and onto the track by passing through its underside. They should then go back to the cave exit and then proceed normally. If the glitch is done correctly, the lap will count.<ref>July (July 19, 2023). [https://youtu.be/4ODt97y8-DA MKWii Wario's Gold Mine glitch]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved July 19, 2023.</ref> Alternatively, if the player goes out of bounds, they can still perform the glitch so long as they respawn before the final turn.
[[File:TournamentDecember1.jpg|thumb|left|Racing against Wiggler]]
In [[List_of_Mario_Kart_Wii_tournaments#December 2008 Tournament 1|the first tournament of December 2008]], players were challenged to race against a giant [[Wiggler]] on this course. Item Boxes would grant only [[Triple Mushroom]]s and [[Super Star|Star]]s. The tournament was later repeated as [[List_of_Mario_Kart_Wii_tournaments#September_2010_Tournament_2|September 2010's second tournament]].

[[List_of_Mario_Kart_Wii_tournaments#December 2008 Tournament 1|December 2008's first tournament]] required players to complete a race against a [[Mega Wiggler|Big Wiggler]] on Wario's Gold Mine. Item Boxes would contain only [[Triple Mushroom]]s and [[Super Star|Star]]s. The tournament was later repeated as September 2010's second tournament.
Wario's Gold Mine reappears in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' as the first course of the [[Triforce Cup]], part of the [[The Legend of Zelda x Mario Kart 8|''The Legend of Zelda'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']] downloadable content package and the base content of ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. The track banner has been redesigned, connecting its structure to a large pulley wheel. Unlike in ''Mario Kart Wii'', the Dash Panel at the start of the first slope cannot be seen from the other side. The half-pipes have been removed, but in the place of the one after the first slope is an outer path with a [[Dash Panel]] at the end. The track inside the mine is noticeably darker and now a lengthy anti-gravity segment, tilting its first few turns, and the second dip inside the mine shaft has been removed. Additionally, the mine carts have been redesigned and now function as [[Spin Boost Pillar]]s. The inside variation of the music has been removed, but Shy Guys can be seen and heard singing when entering the mine, like in [[Shy Guy Falls]].

===''Mario Kart Wii''===
Wario's Gold Mine makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' as the first course of the [[Triforce Cup]], part of the [[The Legend of Zelda x Mario Kart 8|''The Legend of Zelda'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']] downloadable content package and the base content of ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. The layout has undergone quite a few major changes. The starting line is now fully covered on the right side by guard rails. The outside of the U-turn near the beginning has been completely changed; the half-pipe and Item Boxes are gone and the outside of the turn is instead slightly lower than the main track, and ends in a dash panel. At the end of the subsequent tunnel, racers pass over an [[Antigravity Panel]]. The segment between the tunnel and the dash panel ramp has been completely changed to immediately have a set of Item Boxes followed by a right turn and a left turn, with no downhill. It still ends in a dash panel ramp but does not have Item Boxes above the ramp. In the minecart section, the minecarts behave as [[Spin Boost Pillar]]s instead of obstacles, and do not have Item Boxes trailing behind. Along the subsequent alternate route, a fence now prevents racers from falling off the right side. As racers return outside, they exit [[Anti-gravity]] mode. Along the brief straight at the end, the left side is fully covered by guard rails and the pipes below the track are gone. A small ramp now lines the inside of the final turn similar to the U-turn near the beginning. The second half-pipe and Item Boxes to the left of the finish line are gone. Lastly, Double Item Boxes appear at the second and last item sets in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''.

The course has also received numerous visual and auditory changes. The starting banner has been redesigned, connecting its structure to a large pulley wheel, as well as using the modern ''Mario Kart'' logo. The track inside the mine is noticeably darker, though all rails on the track are a light blue during the anti-gravity section. The minecarts have also received visual redesigns to reflect their anti-gravity state and new functionality. A proper arch bridge now supports the brief straight at the end of the track. The techno-styled variation of the music has been removed, but Shy Guys can be seen and heard singing when entering the mine, like in [[Shy Guy Falls]].
