'''Grumble Volcano''' is the last course in the [[Star Cup]] of ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. It takes place in a volcanic area covered with [[lava]]. Drivers will have to jump over gaps in the track with lava beneath using the ramps. The track's theme is very similar to [[World 8 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8]] of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. It will also appear as a retro track in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''.
'''Grumble Volcano''' is the fourth and last course of the [[Star Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. It takes place in a volcanic area covered with [[lava]]. The course features many jumps and moving platforms, as well as many sharp corners. At certain times, sections of the track will crumble away into the lava, making the road smaller and harder to drive around. The track's music is very similar to that of [[World 8 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 8]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' It reappears in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the third course of the [[Lightning Cup]].


==Description==
Grumble Volcano is the only course in ''Mario Kart Wii''{{'}}s Star Cup to not appear in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', although an asset titled "RoadGuraGuraTest" in the [[List of Mario Kart Tour pre-release and unused content#Courses|game's files]] suggests that it was planned.
The course takes place in an area riddled with lava. It can take place outside a volcano. The first parts of the track take place inside a volcano with crumbling rocks that break and fall into the lava from time to time. Outside, the volcano may throw out balls of fire, which slide in the ground from side to side. This course obstacle appears after the race part taken inside the volcano, just outside past the moving platforms in the lava. After the fire on the ground part, there are [[Fire Snake]]s that come out of pipes that jump around and can spin out the player if the player makes contact with them. [[? Block]]s are found dislodged in the volcano as scenery for the course.


==Course layout==
==''Mario Kart Wii''==
[[File:Grumblevolcano1.PNG|200px|thumb|left|Inside the volcano, after the crumbling road and tunnel.]]
===Course layout===
At the beginning of the race, there is a straightaway. At the first lap, the road is completely intact, no signs of crumbling land. Then, as time passes on and the player advances to the second lap, the sections of this will crumble, leaving lava and lava pillars spilling out of the disintegrated section of the road. After that part is a small, curvy tunnel that leads into the interior of the volcano. This part also has crumbling sections of the road, just like the beginning parts of the race. After the player turns left, the player would then hop onto moving platforms on the lava that move left and right and onto the road again, with more sections of the road that will crumble and fall down from time to time.
[[File:Grumblevolcano1.png|200px|thumb|left|The road inside the volcano]]
The course takes place inside and around an active volcano surrounded by endless lava. There are also many huge rock formations around the course, with [[? Block]]s and [[Brick Block]]s lodged in them. At the beginning of the track, racers go off a simple ramp and briefly drive straight, where they reach the first set of [[Item Box]]es. They then enter the volcano and take a slight left turn followed by a right turn. This brings them to another ramp followed by the first of several stone platforms; each platform will move left and right across the lava and has a pair of Item Boxes on it. Racers then take a slight right turn and a slight left turn as they enter a cave adjacent to the volcano, where there is a split path and another item set. Both paths involve a right U-turn followed by a left U-turn and then a right turn, though the left path is higher up. As racers exit the cave, there is another ramp and another stone platform, followed by a small piece of normal track and then one last platform.  


After the small section is a tunnel with hexagons for walls. There are two paths to take, though both will lead to the same area with little or no time difference if one disregards any items and mess-ups the player may have. Both paths first curve right, then left. Both are filled with the exact same locations of the item boxes. The only difference is that one is greater in height than the other, and this is the left path that has such.  
After the platforms, racers have the option to go right and go off a [[Dash Panel|dash panel]] ramp, or go left and drop down onto a lower part of the track, where there is another pair of Item Boxes. Both choices involve a slight turn to the left. Afterwards racers will begin to encounter [[volcanic debris]], which is launched onto the course from another volcano far in the distance; hitting volcanic debris will make racers spin out. There is then a gradual U-turn to the right, with dead trees on both sides of the track and more volcanic debris on the track. Along the first half of the turn on the outside is an elevated path that once again ends in a dash panel ramp. After the turn, racers go off another simple ramp and reach one more split path, with a slight left turn or a slight right turn; at the start of each path is one last item set. If racers go left, there is a turn to the right followed by a very brief straight and one last dash panel ramp. If racers go right, there is a left turn, a simple ramp, and a right turn. Along both paths, racers must pass several [[Warp Pipe|pipe]]s which [[Fire Snake]]s occasionally jump onto the track from. Hitting one will make racers spin out. Where the two paths join, there is one last simple ramp followed by the finish line.


After the paths and the tunnel is a place with more platforms that move left and right, now outside the volcano. The player has to manage to go through the platforms because they move at different times. After the platform part is two roads. One is greater in height than the other and can only be reached by the platform, on the right. It has a ramp with a boost pad on and can be used to dodge incoming flames. The other path, the left one, can be reached by any means and item boxes can be found below.
There are also many cracks visible along the course, outlining certain chunks: In addition to the course's obstacles, there is a mechanic where these chunks of the course will start shaking and then sink into the lava, limiting the area where racers can safely drive. Racers will typically observe most chunks shaking on lap 2 and then they will all be gone on lap 3. All of the huge rock formations around the course will also be gone. The reduced track width is most noticeable at the volcano entrance, the cave entrance, and the split paths before the finish line; the right path in particular also loses an Item Box in the process. A few [[Lava Geyser]]s will also erupt from where chunks of the course used to be, though this does not affect gameplay.


After the two paths merge again, there it the danger that the player can run into incoming fireballs, released by the volcano in the background of the course. The path splits again, after a right turn and functions exactly the same as the last except the boost pad is on the right ramp and vice versa, plus the lack of item boxes. After that curve, there are more fireballs to avoid, with a ramp that can give the ability for the player to perform tricks on.
===Shortcuts===
[[File:Grumble Volcano shortcut.png|thumb|The rock glitch that allows lap completion]]
The first notable shortcut involves a glitch and can be found near the starting line. To the left of it is a rock that can be reached with a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] and performing a wheelie at the starting line, or it can be reached by performing a [[Jump Boost|trick]] off of the ramp before the finish line and aiming towards the rock. Once on the rock, the course can be completed by driving around the rock. The player must be careful as the rock will start to shake at 53 seconds, and sink at 65 seconds. This glitch was removed in ''Mario Kart 8'' as it does not use the same checkpoint system to determine if the lap will count like ''Mario Kart Wii'' does; additionally, the slopes of the rock are so steep that players will simply slide off.


Two paths split again and eventually merge later on. The path on the left leads to a turn on the left, uphill, eventually leading into a ramp with a boost pad on it that can grant the player a large boost and a trick. The other path, on the right leads to a sharp turn on the left, with a ramp and another turn to the right. After that is the area where the two paths meet, the area very near to the finish line. Past the finish line is the next lap of the race.
The second notable shortcut can be found after the last stone platform. If the player goes right after the platform, they can reach a rock formation where it is possible to drive on the side of it by using a Mushroom. If performed correctly, they can use this to reach the right side of the split path section, skipping the entire gradual U-turn. The rock formation will sink 95 seconds into the race; after this point, there is an alternate version possible where the player can use a Mushroom while hopping off the edge and aiming towards the track on the other side of the lava. This will allow them to respawn on the right side of the split path section, still saving time in the process.
<br clear=all>


==''Mario Kart 8''==
Lastly, the final turn on the right path at the end of the track can be skipped if the player uses a Mushroom or two to drive through the off-road and launch themselves off the edge of the track that is slanted upwards.<ref>https://youtu.be/F2_aW8Iz1zs?t=449</ref>

Grumble Volcano is set to appear as a retro track in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''. It appears with higher graphics and better shading. Second platform after the cave now has a glide pad.

[[File:2009-TournamentJune1.jpg|215px|thumb|The first tournament of June 2009]]
The first tournament of June 2009 took place at this course. Players competed in a time trial race, but they had to race the track backwards. To start the time trial, players received a set of [[Triple Mushrooms]]. This tournament was later repeated as the second tournament of May 2011, the second tournament of August 2012, and the first tournament of November 2013, though with a "Karts only" restriction.
[[List of Mario Kart Wii tournaments#Tournaments|June 2009's first tournament]] required players to complete a Time Trial in reverse on Grumble Volcano. There are several ramps added to make this possible, though there are also some barriers and extra Lava Geysers added. Players start the Time Trial with a set of [[Triple Mushrooms]]. Vehicles are restricted to karts only. The tournament was later repeated as the second tournament of May 2011, the second tournament of August 2012, and the first tournament of November 2013.

[[File:MK8-Course-Wii GrumbleVolcano.jpg|250px|left|thumb|The course in ''Mario Kart 8'']]
Grumble Volcano makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the third race of the [[Lightning Cup]]. Its layout is mostly retained but has several notable changes. There are two [[Glide Ramp|glide ramp]]s, one on the second stone platform and one at the end of the left path at the end of the track, replacing its dash panel ramp. An additional chunk of the track right after the first dash panel ramp sinks into the lava. [[Volcanic debris]] falls more slowly than in the original course, and chunks of the course start shaking and sinking sooner into the race. The course geometry has also been modified along the right path at the end of the track, enabling a new shortcut that functions similarly to the shortcut that skipped the final turn in the original iteration. In this case, it cuts off the turn but is blocked by a large rock formation until lap 3. Lastly, most Item Boxes have been removed, with exception of the first and second full item sets. Instead, there is a set along the gradual right U-turn next to the dash panel ramp. Double Item Boxes also appear at the second and last item sets in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''. Visually, the clouds in the sky appear to be more orange than purple as opposed to in the original version. The volcano that the players drive through as well as the volcanoes in the background now have lava running down them. The starting banner has been changed, now resembling a slightly deteriorated structure with torches added and the modern ''Mario Kart'' logo. Similar to {{classic-link|Wii|Mushroom Gorge}}, {{classic-link|3DS|Neo Bowser City}}, {{classic-link|3DS|DK Jungle}}, and the stadium and museum portions of {{classic-link|Tour|Madrid Drive}}, the music remains mostly unchanged, but the guitar and sitar have been updated and the mastering has been tweaked.

Grumble Volcano is the fourth and last course of the Star Cup in Mario Kart Wii. It takes place in a volcanic area covered with lava. The course features many jumps and moving platforms, as well as many sharp corners. At certain times, sections of the track will crumble away into the lava, making the road smaller and harder to drive around. The track's music is very similar to that of World 8 in New Super Mario Bros. It reappears in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as the third course of the Lightning Cup.

Grumble Volcano is the only course in Mario Kart Wii's Star Cup to not appear in Mario Kart Tour, although an asset titled "RoadGuraGuraTest" in the game's files suggests that it was planned.

Mario Kart Wii[edit]

Course layout[edit]

Grumble Volcano
The road inside the volcano

The course takes place inside and around an active volcano surrounded by endless lava. There are also many huge rock formations around the course, with ? Blocks and Brick Blocks lodged in them. At the beginning of the track, racers go off a simple ramp and briefly drive straight, where they reach the first set of Item Boxes. They then enter the volcano and take a slight left turn followed by a right turn. This brings them to another ramp followed by the first of several stone platforms; each platform will move left and right across the lava and has a pair of Item Boxes on it. Racers then take a slight right turn and a slight left turn as they enter a cave adjacent to the volcano, where there is a split path and another item set. Both paths involve a right U-turn followed by a left U-turn and then a right turn, though the left path is higher up. As racers exit the cave, there is another ramp and another stone platform, followed by a small piece of normal track and then one last platform.

After the platforms, racers have the option to go right and go off a dash panel ramp, or go left and drop down onto a lower part of the track, where there is another pair of Item Boxes. Both choices involve a slight turn to the left. Afterwards racers will begin to encounter volcanic debris, which is launched onto the course from another volcano far in the distance; hitting volcanic debris will make racers spin out. There is then a gradual U-turn to the right, with dead trees on both sides of the track and more volcanic debris on the track. Along the first half of the turn on the outside is an elevated path that once again ends in a dash panel ramp. After the turn, racers go off another simple ramp and reach one more split path, with a slight left turn or a slight right turn; at the start of each path is one last item set. If racers go left, there is a turn to the right followed by a very brief straight and one last dash panel ramp. If racers go right, there is a left turn, a simple ramp, and a right turn. Along both paths, racers must pass several pipes which Fire Snakes occasionally jump onto the track from. Hitting one will make racers spin out. Where the two paths join, there is one last simple ramp followed by the finish line.

Racers will typically observe most chunks shaking on lap 2 and then they will all be gone on lap 3. All of the huge rock formations around the course will also be gone. The reduced track width is most noticeable at the volcano entrance, the cave entrance, and the split paths before the finish line; the right path in particular also loses an Item Box in the process. A few Lava Geysers will also erupt from where chunks of the course used to be, though this does not affect gameplay.

Shortcuts[edit]

Grumble Volcano
The rock glitch that allows lap completion

The first notable shortcut involves a glitch and can be found near the starting line. To the left of it is a rock that can be reached with a Mushroom and performing a wheelie at the starting line, or it can be reached by performing a trick off of the ramp before the finish line and aiming towards the rock. Once on the rock, the course can be completed by driving around the rock. The player must be careful as the rock will start to shake at 53 seconds, and sink at 65 seconds. This glitch was removed in Mario Kart 8 as it does not use the same checkpoint system to determine if the lap will count like Mario Kart Wii does; additionally, the slopes of the rock are so steep that players will simply slide off.

The second notable shortcut can be found after the last stone platform. If the player goes right after the platform, they can reach a rock formation where it is possible to drive on the side of it by using a Mushroom. If performed correctly, they can use this to reach the right side of the split path section, skipping the entire gradual U-turn. The rock formation will sink 95 seconds into the race; after this point, there is an alternate version possible where the player can use a Mushroom while hopping off the edge and aiming towards the track on the other side of the lava. This will allow them to respawn on the right side of the split path section, still saving time in the process.

Lastly, the final turn on the right path at the end of the track can be skipped if the player uses a Mushroom or two to drive through the off-road and launch themselves off the edge of the track that is slanted upwards.[1]

Tournaments[edit]

The first tournament of June 2009

June 2009's first tournament required players to complete a Time Trial in reverse on Grumble Volcano. There are several ramps added to make this possible, though there are also some barriers and extra Lava Geysers added. Players start the Time Trial with a set of Triple Mushrooms. Vehicles are restricted to karts only. The tournament was later repeated as the second tournament of May 2011, the second tournament of August 2012, and the first tournament of November 2013.

Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe[edit]

The course in Mario Kart 8

Grumble Volcano makes its classic course debut in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as the third race of the Lightning Cup. Its layout is mostly retained but has several notable changes. There are two glide ramps, one on the second stone platform and one at the end of the left path at the end of the track, replacing its dash panel ramp. An additional chunk of the track right after the first dash panel ramp sinks into the lava. Volcanic debris falls more slowly than in the original course, and chunks of the course start shaking and sinking sooner into the race. The course geometry has also been modified along the right path at the end of the track, enabling a new shortcut that functions similarly to the shortcut that skipped the final turn in the original iteration. In this case, it cuts off the turn but is blocked by a large rock formation until lap 3. Lastly, most Item Boxes have been removed, with exception of the first and second full item sets. Instead, there is a set along the gradual right U-turn next to the dash panel ramp. Double Item Boxes also appear at the second and last item sets in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Visually, the clouds in the sky appear to be more orange than purple as opposed to in the original version. The volcano that the players drive through as well as the volcanoes in the background now have lava running down them. The starting banner has been changed, now resembling a slightly deteriorated structure with torches added and the modern Mario Kart logo. Similar to Wii Mushroom Gorge, 3DS Neo Bowser City, 3DS DK Jungle, and the stadium and museum portions of Tour Madrid Drive, the music remains mostly unchanged, but the guitar and sitar have been updated and the mastering has been tweaked.
