'''Sunshine Airport''' is the first course of the [[Star Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' and is the first airport course in the ''Mario Kart'' series. It takes place in an airport on an island. Airplanes can be seen parked and taking off. Sunshine Airport is themed and named after ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. [[Shine Sprite]]s are visible throughout the course. The course physics are altered in 200cc, with the ramps with boost panels propelling players at a shorter distance.

The course begins in the terminal. After a hairpin turn, players will exit the terminal by taking a jump onto the Tarmac. After this, there is a small jump over a conveyor belt, after which the track proceeds under a 747. Once passing under the 747, a ramp leads to a raised track which then turns left. The track then splits into two alternate paths; one where a jump can be taken onto the wing of a plane, proceed through it and come out on the other wing, or one where the jump is not taken so the player drives under the plane. Shortly after, players will take a left turn, and then hit some boost panels leading to a gliding section, where a plane flies over the lead racer. This plane changes every lap. The gilding section travels up into an anti-gravity platform suspended in the air, which loops around a three quarter turn, into to another gliding section. Players descend, land on a helicopter pad outside the terminal, then turn left and re-enter the terminal. There is one last right turn to the finish line.

There is one last right turn to the finish line.


At the finish, on the right a board can be seen, including names of other tracks, being among others [[Dry Dry Desert]] and [[Sweet Sweet Canyon]]. On the screens around the inside of the airport, a list of departures to other courses, such as [[Shy Guy Falls]] and [[Thwomp Ruins]], can be seen. Posters of [[Water Park]] can also be seen.

Sunshine Airport is the first course of the Star Cup in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and is the first airport course in the Mario Kart series. It takes place in an airport on Isle Delfino.[1] Airplanes can be seen parked and taking off. Sunshine Airport is themed and named after Super Mario Sunshine. Shine Sprites are visible throughout the course. The course physics are altered in 200cc, with the ramps with Dash Panels propelling racers at a shorter distance. The aircraft standing around the airfield are based on a variety of different aircraft, ranging from the Boeing 737 to 747, to 777, or even 787 jets, alongside Airbus A320, A330 and other aircraft.

Course layout[edit]

Sunshine Airport, from Mario Kart 8.
The course as seen from the starting line

The course begins in the terminal. After a hairpin turn, players will exit the terminal by taking a jump onto the apron. After this, there is a small jump over a Conveyor Belt, after which the track proceeds under a plane. Once passing under it, a ramp leads to a raised track which then turns left. The track then splits into two alternate paths; one where a jump can be taken onto the wing of another plane, proceed through it and come out on the other wing, or one where the jump is not taken, leading the player to drive under the plane. Shortly after, players will take a left turn, and then hit some Dash Panels leading to a Glide Ramp, where a plane flies over the lead racer. This plane changes every lap. The gilding section travels up into an anti-gravity platform suspended in the air, which loops around a three-quarter turn. Several Spin Boost Pillars are present here. Afterwards, racers hit a Glide Ramp and enter another gliding section. Players descend, land on a helicopter pad outside the terminal, then turn left and re-enter the terminal. There is one last right turn to the finish line.

At the finish, a departure board can be seen on the right, including names of various other tracks. Posters of Water Park, Dry Dry Desert, and Sweet Sweet Canyon can also be seen.

When under a flying plane, sounds in the game become muffled.

Shortcuts[edit]

  • Under the second plane, there is a large patch of grass to the right that serves as an offroad shortcut.
  • The player can cut off the left turn before the first gliding section by using a speed item and jumping off a small ramp situated in the water.
  • The left turn into the terminal can be cut off if the player boosts through the grass.
  • The player can drive through an area with Conveyor Belts carrying luggage crates, cutting off the final turn. The crates may contain Mushrooms, Green Shells, or Bananas.

References to the Super Mario franchise[edit]

  • At one point, a couple of Koopa rock formations reminiscent of the one from Koopa Troopa Beach in Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart 7 can be seen in the background.
  • There are some storage crates in Sunshine Airport with the serial number "55402MS". This serial number is a possible reference to the European release date for Super Mario Sunshine (October 4, 2002; MS, possibly standing for "Mario Sunshine.")[2]
  • There is an intercom in the airport that makes references to Birdo, Sweet Sweet Canyon, and Dolphin Shoals. These are the voice lines that can be heard within the station:
    • "This is the final boarding call for Boomerang Bros. International Airline, Flight 117a to Sweet Sweet Canyon, departing from Gate 3."
      • This is inconsistent with the signboard before the finish line, which says flight "Sweet Sweet Canyon BBIA 4300."
    • "Passengers departing on Galaxy Airlines, Flight 2580, bound for Dolphin Shoals, should proceed to customs and immigration at this time."
    • "Paging Galaxy Airlines, Flight 2218, passenger Ms. Birdo, please proceed to the information counter on Floor 2."
  • Some of the crates on the Conveyor Belts have panels that resemble ? Blocks, Empty Blocks, and Brick Blocks.
