'''Rosalina's Ice World''' is the second race course of the [[Special Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. Located on an icy road, it's owned by [[Rosalina]] and based on the ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' installments. The drivers can dive in water, where some [[Penguin]]s swim, which strongly resembles the main planet of [[Cosmic Cove Galaxy]].
'''Rosalina's Ice World''' is the second race course of the [[Special Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. Located on an icy road, it is the first, and so far, the only course in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'']] series to be owned by [[Rosalina]], and as a result draws inspiration from the ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' installments. The drivers can dive underwater where some [[penguin]]s swim, in an area which strongly resembles the main planet of [[Cosmic Cove Galaxy]]. This is the second Special Cup course to take place in a snow/ice-themed area, the first being [[SNES Vanilla Lake 2|Vanilla Lake 2]] in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''.


==Course layout==
The course returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', debuting in the [[Rosalina Tour]]. It also returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the second course of the [[Spiny Cup]] in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]''.
[[File:RosalinaIceWorldRaceStart.jpg|200px|thumb|left|The start of the track.]]
 
The track starts off in a snowy area with snow covered [[dome]]s and the [[Comet Observatory]] off to the side. The racers then slight to the right and pass through a halfpipe-like area with the right edge as a pit and some [[coin]]s. After entering a cavern, a small ramp allows racers to jump onto an icy area with penguins and a few coins, with the first lap giving them a choice of the icy path, or an underwater cavern filled with more coins than above. The second lap, however requires racers to go underwater unless they have a [[Mushroom]], use the long mini-turbo, or drive straight after the curve (at least 8 coins needed) and hold the Circle Pad down, as the [[kart]] goes higher when this is done. After the icy area, racers go through another cavern, but with icicles protruding from the ground, which can be shattered. The road then splits and gives the racer a choice of taking a narrow boost filled area, where a [[Starshroom]] can be seen on the right, or a wide path with no boosts. A final boost jump is then encountered and finally the racer turns to the finish line. In the background of the course, the starting planet of the [[Gateway Galaxy]] can be seen in some areas.

===Course layout===
[[File:RosalinaIceWorldRaceStart.jpg|thumb|220px|View from the starting line]]
The course starts off in a snowy area with snow covered [[dome]]s and a structure resembling the [[Comet Observatory]] off to the side. The racers then take a slight turn to the right and pass through a halfpipe-like three-quarters turn with the right edge as a pit and some [[coin]]s. After passing under the beginning of the turn and continuing forward, a small ramp allows racers to jump onto an icy area with penguins and a few coins, with the first lap giving them a choice of the icy path, or an [[Underwater driving|underwater cavern]] filled with more coins. The second lap, however requires racers to go underwater unless they have a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]], use the [[Mini-Turbo|Super Mini-Turbo]], or drive straight after the curve with at least eight coins and hold the Circle Pad down, as the [[kart]] goes higher when this is done. After the icy area, racers go through a cavern with [[icicle]]s protruding from the ground, which can be shattered. The road then splits and gives the racer a choice of taking a narrow road with a series of [[Dash Panel]]s, where a [[Starshroom]] can be seen on the right, or a wide path with no boosts. A final jump is then encountered, and finally, racers turns to the finish line. In the background of the course, the starting planet of the [[Gateway Galaxy]] can be seen in some areas. When racing online, the underwater penguins are absent.
 
This is the only [[new course]] in the game which does not involve gliding.

===Shortcuts===
*At the very beginning, there is a patch of snow to the right that can be cut across with a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] or [[Super Star]].
*Just before the spiral section, by drifting off the side of the wall to the right at an extreme angle, it is possible to clear a good section of the chasm. How much the player skips depends on how extreme the angle the player took was. This can be done with or without a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]].
 
==''Mario Kart Tour''==
[[File:MKT 3DS Rosalina's Ice World View.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Rosalina's Ice World in ''Mario Kart Tour'']]
Rosalina's Ice World makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', starting with the [[Rosalina Tour]]. Rosalina's Ice World is the fourth course after [[DS DK Pass]], [[DS Airship Fortress]], and [[Wii Maple Treeway]] to be the signature course of two tours (the Rosalina Tour and the 2021 Space Tour). [[Penguin]]s now appear on top of the ice during the first lap, and move underwater for the second lap. It retains most of its appearance from ''Mario Kart 7'', though with a few minor differences. Most notably, the planet seen in some areas is now a 3D model that is loosely based on the starting planet from [[Gateway Galaxy]]. Trees were added to the background in spots, and the arrow signs in the first section are removed. The wall on the right-hand side of the spiral turn has been removed, likely because the game prevents players from falling here regardless.
 
The course also appears as '''Rosalina's Ice World R''' (reversed), '''Rosalina's Ice World T''' (with ramps), and '''Rosalina's Ice World R/T''' (reversed with ramps). The former two debuted alongside the original in the Rosalina Tour, while the latter debuted in the [[Space Tour (2021)|2021 Space Tour]]. In the R and R/T variants, a [[Glide Ramp|glide ramp]] was added to the exit of the icy cavern with icicles; in the R/T variant, the ramp is only usable on lap 2. In the T variant, there are two Penguins in the icy cavern.

==''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''==
[[File:MK8-Course-3DS RosalinaIceWorld.jpg|thumb|right|250px|The course in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'']]
Rosalina's Ice World reappears in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of the sixth and final wave of the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' DLC. It appears as the second course of the [[Spiny Cup]]. This was the first course from ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' to be added in the pass since [[3DS Rainbow Road|Rainbow Road]] three waves prior. It is based on its appearance in ''Mario Kart Tour'', though with significant visual upgrades.
A new shortcut with a wooden ramp has been added along the final turn. The wall on the right-hand side of the spiral section has been extended, closer to how it appeared in ''Mario Kart 7''. Two [[Half-pipe (object)|half-pipes]] have been added in the section leading to the icy expanse, making this the first 3DS course to feature half-pipes; one is along the right side immediately after the underpass, while the other is on the left side. Taking this second half-pipe gives racers enough of a boost to take the top ice section on every lap. The number of ice pillars has been greatly reduced. The yellow stars atop the posts after the course's starting line now illuminate brightly. Additionally, some of the stars atop poles have been recolored slightly. The ending portion of the music is arranged slightly differently, with a different chord being used.
Internally, the course is referred to as "Cnsw_67", implying it may have originally been intended to be the third course of the Spiny Cup. However, according to the list of prefixes left in the game's files in the 2.0.0 update, said slot formerly did not have a prefix, meaning Rosalina's Ice World presumably replaced a course without a prefix that was originally intended for the pass.

Rosalina's Ice World is the second race course of the Special Cup in Mario Kart 7. Located on an icy road, it is the first, and so far, the only course in the Mario Kart series to be owned by Rosalina, and as a result draws inspiration from the Super Mario Galaxy installments. The drivers can dive underwater where some penguins swim, in an area which strongly resembles the main planet of Cosmic Cove Galaxy. This is the second Special Cup course to take place in a snow/ice-themed area, the first being Vanilla Lake 2 in Super Mario Kart.

The course returns in Mario Kart Tour, debuting in the Rosalina Tour. It also returns in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as the second course of the Spiny Cup in the Booster Course Pass.

Course layout[edit]

Koopa Troopa at the starting line of Rosalina's Ice World.
View from the starting line

The course starts off in a snowy area with snow covered domes and a structure resembling the Comet Observatory off to the side. The racers then take a slight turn to the right and pass through a halfpipe-like three-quarters turn with the right edge as a pit and some coins. After passing under the beginning of the turn and continuing forward, a small ramp allows racers to jump onto an icy area with penguins and a few coins, with the first lap giving them a choice of the icy path, or an underwater cavern filled with more coins. The second lap, however requires racers to go underwater unless they have a Mushroom, use the Super Mini-Turbo, or drive straight after the curve with at least eight coins and hold the Circle Pad down, as the kart goes higher when this is done. After the icy area, racers go through a cavern with icicles protruding from the ground, which can be shattered. The road then splits and gives the racer a choice of taking a narrow road with a series of Dash Panels, where a Starshroom can be seen on the right, or a wide path with no boosts. A final jump is then encountered, and finally, racers turns to the finish line. In the background of the course, the starting planet of the Gateway Galaxy can be seen in some areas. When racing online, the underwater penguins are absent.

This is the only new course in the game which does not involve gliding.

Shortcuts[edit]

  • At the very beginning, there is a patch of snow to the right that can be cut across with a Mushroom or Super Star.
  • Just before the spiral section, by drifting off the side of the wall to the right at an extreme angle, it is possible to clear a good section of the chasm. How much the player skips depends on how extreme the angle the player took was. This can be done with or without a Mushroom.

Mario Kart Tour[edit]

3DS Rosalina's Ice World in Mario Kart Tour
Rosalina's Ice World in Mario Kart Tour

Rosalina's Ice World makes its classic course debut in Mario Kart Tour, starting with the Rosalina Tour. Rosalina's Ice World is the fourth course after DS DK Pass, DS Airship Fortress, and Wii Maple Treeway to be the signature course of two tours (the Rosalina Tour and the 2021 Space Tour). Penguins now appear on top of the ice during the first lap, and move underwater for the second lap. It retains most of its appearance from Mario Kart 7, though with a few minor differences. Most notably, the planet seen in some areas is now a 3D model that is loosely based on the starting planet from Gateway Galaxy. Trees were added to the background in spots, and the arrow signs in the first section are removed. The wall on the right-hand side of the spiral turn has been removed, likely because the game prevents players from falling here regardless.

The course also appears as Rosalina's Ice World R (reversed), Rosalina's Ice World T (with ramps), and Rosalina's Ice World R/T (reversed with ramps). The former two debuted alongside the original in the Rosalina Tour, while the latter debuted in the 2021 Space Tour. In the R and R/T variants, a glide ramp was added to the exit of the icy cavern with icicles; in the R/T variant, the ramp is only usable on lap 2. In the T variant, there are two Penguins in the icy cavern.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe[edit]

3DS Rosalina's Ice World in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
The course in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Rosalina's Ice World reappears in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as part of the sixth and final wave of the Booster Course Pass DLC. It appears as the second course of the Spiny Cup. This was the first course from Mario Kart 7 to be added in the pass since Rainbow Road three waves prior. It is based on its appearance in Mario Kart Tour, though with significant visual upgrades.

A new shortcut with a wooden ramp has been added along the final turn. The wall on the right-hand side of the spiral section has been extended, closer to how it appeared in Mario Kart 7. Two half-pipes have been added in the section leading to the icy expanse, making this the first 3DS course to feature half-pipes; one is along the right side immediately after the underpass, while the other is on the left side. Taking this second half-pipe gives racers enough of a boost to take the top ice section on every lap. The number of ice pillars has been greatly reduced. The yellow stars atop the posts after the course's starting line now illuminate brightly. Additionally, some of the stars atop poles have been recolored slightly. The ending portion of the music is arranged slightly differently, with a different chord being used.

Internally, the course is referred to as "Cnsw_67", implying it may have originally been intended to be the third course of the Spiny Cup. However, according to the list of prefixes left in the game's files in the 2.0.0 update, said slot formerly did not have a prefix, meaning Rosalina's Ice World presumably replaced a course without a prefix that was originally intended for the pass.

  • Nintendo Switch News app (UK): Wrap up warm for Rosalina's Ice World!
    Today we'd like to present another course released as part of the sixth wave, which is available now: Rosalina's Ice World.
    This course, first introduced in the Nintendo 3DS game Mario Kart 7, unfolds in a chilly world of snow and ice. Thanks to an abundance of slippery surfaces and a challenging lack of guard rails, you'll have to be extra-focused on careful cornering. Also, the cave system you'll pass through along the way divides into two selectable routes. A canny choice, based on the current conditions, could be the key to success!
  • Nintendo Switch News app (US):
    • This course first appeared in the Mario Kart 7 game for the Nintendo 3DS™ system.
    • Brr, this course takes place on a snowy ice planet!
    • Beware areas without guard rails--cornering can be tricky on ice.
    • See that fork in the tunnel? There isn't a "correct path"--choose the option that best fits your current situation.
