'''Urchin Underpass''' is a battle course that appears as one of the new courses in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. The course is based on the main [[inkipedia:Turf War|Turf War]] stage from [[inkipedia:Splatoon|''Splatoon'']] and contains elements from that game, such as several green and purple [[inkipedia:ink|ink]] splotches scattered throughout the course that decreases vehicles' traction. There are also ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' elements, such as [[Dash Panel]]s. There are various paths that all loop around to the main area and several bridges.

The music is a variant of the "[[inkipedia:Splattack!|Splattack!]]" theme played during Turf War matches. When there is one minute left in a match, the music will change to a variant of "[[inkipedia:Now or Never!|Now or Never!]]", which is also played at the last minute in Turf War matches. This makes it the third course in the game to have a different music track during the final portion of the match (in this case, when the timer has one minute remaining), after [[Big Blue]] and [[Mount Wario]], which play a different music track during the final segment. The music that plays during the final minute is also the only music track in the ''Mario Kart'' series that does not loop.

Urchin Underpass is a battle course that appears as one of the new courses in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. The course is based on the stage of the same name from Splatoon and contains elements from that game, such as green and purple ink splotches scattered throughout the course that decrease vehicles' traction. There are also Mario Kart elements, such as Dash Panels. There are various paths that all loop around to the main area and several bridges. Jellyfish serve as spectators on the course and also appear on the course selection icon.

The music is a variant of the "Splattack!" theme, which is one of the themes that can play during online battles in Splatoon. When there is one minute left in a match, the music changes to a variant of "Now or Never!", which plays in the final minute in Turf War matches in Splatoon. This makes it the third course in the game to have a different music track during the final portion of the match (in this case, when the timer has one minute remaining), after Mount Wario and Big Blue, which play a different part of the music track during the final segment. The music that plays during the final minute is also the only course music in the Mario Kart series that does not loop.

Just like in Waluigi Pinball, Hyrule Circuit, and Animal Crossing, this course uses a unique Item Box roulette sound effect. In this case, it is the ability slot roulette sound from Splatoon.[1] This makes it the only battle course in the series to have a unique Item Box roulette sound. In Coin Runners and Renegade Roundup, Splatoon's currency, cash, is used in place of coins.
