Coconut Mall also appears in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as the third course of the [[Banana Cup]], in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' DLC for ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the fourth and final course of the [[Golden Dash Cup]], and in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' as a course debuting in the [[Doctor Tour (2022)|2022 Doctor Tour]]. This course's presence in these four games, added to each in that specific order, means Coconut Mall is the only course in the series to appear in four consecutive games, and be added to them in release order. It, alongside [[Wii Mushroom Gorge|Mushroom Gorge]], [[Wii Koopa Cape|Koopa Cape]], and [[Wii Maple Treeway|Maple Treeway]], have appeared in four games in a row (every game since their debuts) if one counts the two ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' titles as the same game.
'''Coconut Mall''' is the second course of the [[Flower Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. It is set in a shopping center, located on [[Isle Delfino]] (according to the Official ''Mario Kart Wii'' Game Guide published by [[Prima Games|Prima]]{{page needed}}), but clearly next to a beach.


Since ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Wii)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'', Coconut Mall's music has appeared in the [[Mario & Sonic (series)|''Mario & Sonic'' series]] as a selectable song when participating in events.

[[File:MKWii-CoconutMall1.png|thumb|200px|The mall entrance]]
The race starts at the entrance of a mall with a beach setting, near the parking lot. There are stairs that lead up to two escalators, which go in opposite directions, and switch directions every 50 seconds. A [[Pianta]] stands between the two and points at the one moving upwards, or at both if they are about to change directions. After that, residing in an upper level of the mall, the player has a choice to stay on the upper floor or to descend onto a lower floor via an escalator. If the player chooses to stay on the upper level, they can go either to the left or the right of the escalator leading downstairs with the left side having two [[Dash Panel]]s. If the player instead chooses to go downstairs, they will also have the opportunity to hit a Dash Panel by going to the left of the second escalator which comes down from the upper level. Afterwards, the routes meet up either via a [[Jump Boost|trick]] from the upper level, going down another escalator that leads to the lower level, or from driving from the lower level. There is a fountain there that the player can perform tricks on. After the fountain, there are two more escalators.

After another turn in a metal passageway, the player reaches an outdoor courtyard called Coconut Garden with more stores. There are palm trees in planters which the player can perform a trick on and another fountain, as well as Dash Panels on the left and right of the area. [[Item Box]]es are found at the top of the fountain, where the player must be travelling at full speed in order to be able to receive an item. There is also a single Item Box on each of the two Dash Panels. Tables with umbrellas, palm trees, and the mall's pillars serve as static obstacles.

Following this, there is another metal passageway that leads upward to the left into a smaller room. Here, there is a store that sells Mario items such as a Green Mushroom Burger or Star Juice and is called "Coco Burger". There are two paths the player can then take. One is to the left with a Dash Panel before it, leading into another metal passageway, going up and to the right into a giant, glass ramp. Two Dash Panels reside in the giant ramp and the second takes the player out of the mall and into the parking lot, falling from a distance, allowing the player to perform a trick before dropping down. The other passageway leads into a room and also turns to the right. In the room, there is another planter and a palm tree with some item boxes around. There is also a Dash Panel ramp here which a trick can be performed off.

There is also a dash panel ramp here which a trick can be performed off.


Both of these ramps lead to the parking lot, where there is a metal ramp for the player to perform a trick and receive items from an Item Box. After a 90 degree turn right, three cars driven by the player's Miis move back and forth, often blocking three corresponding Dash Panels. After this, there is a right turn to the [[Finish Line (object)|finish line]].

Coconut Mall has a variety of [[List of sponsors in Mario Kart Wii|sponsors]]. Among the things to buy to eat are [[Mushroom]]s ([[Super Mushroom|Red]] and [[1-Up Mushroom|Green]]), [[Fire Flower]]s, [[Banana]]s, and [[Super Star]]s. The advertisements are filled with the player's [[Mii]]s. On top of that, most customers in the mall are also the player's [[Mii]]s. However, if the player has no Miis, default Miis appear on advertisements. The directory signs say "toilets" and "lift," British-oriented terms for "restrooms" and "elevator." This is present in the American version as well. This is one of the few ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' courses that, in non-English versions of the game, had some of the in-course signs translated in the original.

For this course in Time Trials, the staff ghost is [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]]. She rides the [[Sugarscoot]] for the Normal Staff Ghost, while the Expert one is her in the [[Wild Wing]].

===Shortcuts===
[[File:MKWii-CoconutMall7.png|thumb|190px|The off-road shortcut]]
[[File:MKWii-CoconutMall7.png|thumb|190px|The off-road shortcut]]
There is one notable shortcut which requires a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]], [[Mega Mushroom]], [[Golden Dash Mushroom|Golden Mushroom]], or a [[Super Star|Star]]. After going up the first escalator, the player must head to the right, staying near the glass windows with Miis behind them. After a very short distance, players should see an opening into a store. They must boost over the carpet, as it is an off-road surface. They then exit the store after the Mushroom and can perform a trick back onto the main course. However, if the player veers right instead of dropping back onto the main course, there is a longer off-road section that leads the player past the second set of escalators. Doing this, however, requires either three Mushrooms or a Golden Mushroom. On a side note, vehicles with very high off-road stats (like the [[Tiny Titan]] and [[Magikruiser]]) can handle this shortcut and the extension without a Mushroom boost.

However, if the player veers right instead of dropping back onto the main course, there is a longer off-road section that leads the player past the second set of escalators. Doing this, however, requires either three [[Dash Mushroom|Mushrooms]] or a different speed item. On a side note, vehicles with very high off-road stats (like the [[Tiny Titan]] and [[Magikruiser]]) can handle this shortcut and the extension without an item.


This course has a glitch that can by accessed by hitting the intersection point of 2 rails near the first fountain, which can be done multiple ways. Hitting this point knocks the player out of the course's boundaries without [[Lakitu]] rescuing them. While the out-of-bounds that can be explored is large, it can be used as a shortcut by driving through the parking lot to the right of the finish line. By hitting an invisible wall when entering the parking lot in a way that knocks them to left and driving through the car at the far end of the parking lot and returning to the finish line, laps will count.

====Tournaments====
===Tournaments===
The first tournament of July 2008 took place at Coconut Mall. Players had to collect all fifty coins in the fastest time possible. This tournament was later repeated as July 2010's first tournament, December 2011's second tournament, and March 2013's first tournament.
[[List of Mario Kart Wii tournaments#July 2008 Tournament 1|July 2008's first tournament]] required players to collect 50 coins scattered throughout part of the mall. Immediately after starting, players are able to hit a lone Item Box which will contain Triple Mushrooms. This tournament was later repeated as the first tournament of July 2010, the second tournament of December 2011, and the first tournament of March 2013.

Coconut Mall reappears in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as the third course in the [[Banana Cup]]. The course is considerably shorter in length than that of the original Wii version. There are many changes that have been made to the course, mostly due to technical limitations of the [[Nintendo 3DS]], but only a few of these actually affect the gameplay.
Coconut Mall makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as the third course of the [[Banana Cup]]. The course is considerably shorter in length than that of the original Wii version. There are many changes that have been made to the course, mostly due to technical limitations of the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. Because all of the Piantas were removed, colored arrows were added to the escalators, with green arrows on the ones going up, and red arrows on the ones going down. The part under the glass floor is flooded. The first shortcut is no longer an off-road portion, meaning it can be cleared without the use of Mushrooms. The tables on the left side of the courtyard were removed. At the two jumps exiting the mall, the dash panel on the upper section was replaced with a [[Glide Ramp|glide ramp]]. In the parking lot, one of the Mii-driven cars was removed, and the remaining cars drive back and forth the whole width of the track; this is unlike ''Mario Kart Wii'' where two of the cars drove half the width. Additionally, there are no longer Miis on the inaccessible platforms, advertisements containing pictures of the player's Miis were removed, and all of the advertisements and signs are in English regardless of the language the game is being played.


Minor changes include that there are no longer Miis or Piantas on the inaccessible platforms, advertisements containing pictures of the player's Miis were removed, all of the advertisements and signs are in English regardless of the language the game is being played in, and at the two optional jumps exiting the mall, the Dash Panels were replaced with [[Glide Ramp]]s.
This is one of the few retro courses in ''Mario Kart 7'' to display advertisements in the same places as the original course. Other examples include {{classic-link|GCN|Dino Dino Jungle}} and {{classic-link|N64|Luigi Raceway}}.


Even with these minor changes, there are also some big changes to the course. The first shortcut is no longer an off-road portion, meaning it can be cleared without the use of Mushrooms. Because the Piantas were removed, colored arrows were added to the escalators, with blue arrows on the ones going up, and red arrows on the ones going down. In the parking lot, one of the Mii-driven cars was removed, and additionally, the cars drive back and forth the whole width of the track, unlike in ''Mario Kart Wii'', where two of the cars went half the width.

==''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''==
[[File:MK8D BCP Coconut Mall.jpg|280px|right|thumb|{{classic|Wii|Coconut Mall}} in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'']]
Coconut Mall reappears in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', as part of the first wave of the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]''. It appears as the fourth and last race of the [[Golden Dash Cup]]. Coconut Mall is the only ''Booster Course Pass'' classic course not originally from ''Mario Kart Tour'' to be the final course of a cup without serving as such in a prior game, as {{classic-link|DS|Waluigi Pinball}}, {{classic-link|Wii|Maple Treeway}}, and {{classic-link|3DS|Rainbow Road}} are the final courses of ''Mario Kart 7''{{'}}s Banana Cup, [[Leaf Cup]], and [[Special Cup]] respectively, while {{classic-link|Wii|Rainbow Road}} is the final course of ''Mario Kart Wii''{{'}}s Special Cup.


==''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''==
This time, the course is completely redesigned, retaining its shortened length from ''Mario Kart 7''. The archway starting line has been stylized to instead resemble two palm trees curving into one another with a pair of shopping bags and some palm tree leaves occupying the space between the top, and now uses the modern ''Mario Kart'' logo. Like with ''Mario Kart 7'', there are no longer posters containing Miis, instead, they are replaced with simple adverts. Among advertisements and sponsors in the course, signs that make references to the [[Vanilla Lake]] courses from ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' and [[GCN Dino Dino Jungle|Dino Dino Jungle]] from ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' are present, most notably at the starting line and just before the second U-turn. The escalators have now been replaced with flat [[Conveyor Belt|conveyor belts]], with arrows that are similar to the ones in the ''Mario Kart 7'' version, but much brighter. The floors are now orange instead of white. The top path exiting the mall is a [[Glide Ramp]] like in ''Mario Kart 7'', while the bottom path exiting the mall is a [[Ramp|boosted ramp]] similar to ''Mario Kart Wii''. The arches after the ramps and before the parking lot have been removed. Some other changes and additions include [[Mario Kart TV|MKTV]] vans parked outside the mall, a cruiser ship and sailboats appearing in the harbor outside of the mall, and the music being remade for the game. The course's music was also used for the reveal trailer of the DLC. This is the only course in the ''Booster Course Pass'' to feature [[Noki]]s, likely due to the mall being heavily influenced by ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' in its original appearance; as well as the only course in the game to feature Nokis and Piantas together.

Coconut Mall makes another appearance in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' via the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]. The course is the fourth track of the [[Golden Dash Cup]], and as such, was released as part of the first wave of the DLC.  


This time, the course is completely redesigned. The archway starting line has been stylized to instead resemble two palm trees curving into one another with a pair of shopping bags and some palm tree leaves occupying the space between the top, and now uses the modern ''Mario Kart'' logo. Like with ''Mario Kart 7'', advertisements containing Miis are replaced with simple adverts. Among advertisements and sponsors in the course, signs that make references to the [[Vanilla Lake]] courses and {{classic-link|GCN|Dino Dino Jungle}} are present, most notably at the starting line and beside the second pair of escalators. Also similar to ''Mario Kart 7'', there are arrows on the escalators indicating the direction they are moving in, except now the forward arrows are green instead of blue. The floors are now orange instead of white. The top path exiting the mall is a [[Glide Ramp]] like in ''Mario Kart 7'', while the bottom path exiting the mall is a jump pad similar to ''Mario Kart Wii''. The arches after the ramps and before the parking lot have been removed. Some other changes and additions include [[Mario Kart TV|MKTV]] vans parked outside the mall, the [[Daisy Cruiser]] and sailboats appearing in the harbor outside of the mall, and the music being remade for the game. The course's music was also used for the reveal trailer of the DLC.
Inside the mall, the first shortcut is once again a shortcut that requires a speed boost to utilize, though its extension is no longer off-road and does not require any further boosts to execute. At the turn after the second pair of conveyor belts, there is a large mural of a landscape resembling an above-ground level from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', featuring [[? Block]]s, [[Brick Block]]s, [[Empty Block]]s, and [[Warp Pipe]]s. The Coco Burger restaurant before the turn into the Glide Ramp now features a sign reading "Food Park" above it. On the glide ramp, the "Have a nice day!" sign has been removed.

The section at the end with the moving cars also has a few changes. Like the ''Mario Kart 7'' version, there are only two cars, but this time they are occupied by two [[Shy Guy]]s instead of Miis. When the track was initially released, instead of moving around, the cars simply sat in one position while facing diagonally towards the racers, rather than sideways.

While it is unknown why the cars were changed to behave like this initially, it was changed in the version 2.1.0 update; they are still positioned diagonally, but now move forwards and backwards slightly, in addition to occasionally performing a doughnut maneuver, which will spin out racers who come in contact with them like in ''Mario Kart Wii'' and ''Mario Kart 7''. However, this does not apply to Time Trials, as the cars will remain still in that mode, likely to avoid interfering with staff ghosts and records from before the update.


The section at the end with the moving cars has been completely changed. Like the ''Mario Kart 7'' version, there are only two cars, but this time they are occupied by [[Shy Guy]]s instead of Miis. Additionally, they no longer move across the track, instead sitting in one position while facing diagonally towards the racers, rather than sideways. They also no longer spin out anyone that hits them, instead simply acting as a wall that can be bumped into,<ref>kart_tour (March 17, 2022).

Coconut Mall returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting with the [[Doctor Tour]]. The course is mostly identical to the design seen in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', though with a few slight differences. The side passage following the shortcut has been completely blocked off, with the player only being able to go off a ramp back onto the main route. Additional ramps were also added to the sides of the escalator when entering the space with the first fountain, instead of the dropoff being trickable. The handrails of the escalators can no longer be tricked or driven on and the escalators themselves move much slower. The top route and bottom routes when the player exits the mall have had their ramps flipped compared to ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' on the normal variant of the course - the top route is now a normal ramp instead of a glide ramp, like in the original ''Mario Kart Wii'' version, and the bottom route has a glide ramp like in ''Mario Kart 7''. In the T variant, these ramp configurations are the same as in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''. The courtyard has gray stone tiles instead of orange tiles. There is now a ramp on the left side of the road upon exiting the mall, much like the original and ''Mario Kart 7'' variations, though it is much wider. In addition, the cars have returned to their original size and behavior of moving forwards and backwards along the track. They are still occupied by Shy Guys and still act as walls like the ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' version, but they can be displaced allowing the player to proceed during the effect of a Mega Mushroom, a Star or a Frenzy. In the R variant, they retain all the properties seen in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' version, including their larger size and stationary behavior, and the track has invisible walls that prevent drivers from bumping into them. The Dash Panels remain absent. The player can also drive on the beach next to the parking lot in the T variant. The course uses its original music from ''Mario Kart Wii''. This course is a favorite of [[Chargin' Chuck]], [[Mario|Mario (Golf)]], [[Dr. Mario]], [[Princess Peach#Dr. Mario series|Dr. Peach]], [[Cat Mario]], [[Cat Mario|Cat Luigi]], [[Rosalina|Rosalina (Chef)]], [[Princess Daisy|Daisy (Thai Dress)]], [[Pink Shy Guy|Pink Shy Guy (Ninja)]], [[Birdo|Birdo (White)]], and the [[Mii|Pastry Chef Mii Racing Suit]]. It is also a favorite of [[Toadette|Toadette (Sailor)]] and [[Bowser#Dr. Mario World|Dr. Bowser]] if they reach level 6, and [[Luigi#Dr. Mario series|Dr. Luigi]] and the [[Mii|Chain Chomp Mii Racing Suit]] if they reach level 8.
Coconut Mall returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting with the [[Doctor Tour (2022)|2022 Doctor Tour]]. The course has several differences compared to its appearance in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''. The side passage following the shortcut has been completely blocked off, with the player only being able to go off a ramp back onto the main route. Additional ramps were also added to the sides of the [[Conveyor Belt|conveyor belt]] when entering the space with the first fountain, instead of the drop-off being trickable. The handrails of the conveyor belts can no longer be tricked or driven on and the conveyor belts themselves move much slower. The top route and bottom routes when the player exits the mall have had their ramps flipped compared to ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' on the normal variant of the course - the top route is now a normal ramp instead of a glide ramp, like in the original ''Mario Kart Wii'' version, and the bottom route has a glide ramp like in ''Mario Kart 7''. The courtyard has gray stone tiles instead of orange tiles. The ramp on the left side of the road upon exiting the mall has been made much wider. In addition, the cars have returned to their original size and behavior of moving forwards and backwards along the track. They are still occupied by Shy Guys, but can be ran over with the aid of a Mega Mushroom, a Star or a Frenzy. The course uses its original music from ''Mario Kart Wii''. Coconut Mall is the first course in ''Mario Kart Tour'' that did not have all of its variants debut together, but had them debut in tours with the same name.
The course also appears as '''Coconut Mall R''' (reversed), '''Coconut Mall T''' (with ramps), and '''Coconut Mall R/T''' (reversed with ramps). The former two debuted alongside the regular version in the 2022 Doctor Tour, while the latter debuted in the [[Doctor Tour (2023)|2023 Doctor Tour]]. In all three variants, some conveyor belts either have their direction changed or are deactivated altogether. In the R variant, the cars retain all the properties seen in the ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' version prior to version 2.1.0, including their larger size and stationary behavior. In the T variant, the Glide Ramp and the Dash Panel have their positions switched, and racers briefly drive along the beach. In the R/T variant, the cars are gone and there is instead a [[dash panel ramp truck]]. Additionally, there is a water geyser in both fountains.

==Trivia==
*Curiously, in the original ''Mario Kart Wii'' version of the course, the Dash Panels are rainbow-colored, similar to the versions seen in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', whereas every other track in the game uses a pink-yellow-orange coloration. The reason for this is unknown.

“If you're like me and you love going to the mall, you're gonna really love racing your friends through the mall.”
Jordan, Play Nintendo[1]

Coconut Mall is the second course of the Flower Cup in Mario Kart Wii. It is set in a shopping center which is located on Isle Delfino.[2]

Coconut Mall also appears in Mario Kart 7 as the third course of the Banana Cup, in the Booster Course Pass DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as the fourth and final course of the Golden Dash Cup, and in Mario Kart Tour as a course debuting in the 2022 Doctor Tour. This course's presence in these four games, added to each in that specific order, means Coconut Mall is the only course in the series to appear in four consecutive games, and be added to them in release order. It, alongside Mushroom Gorge, Koopa Cape, and Maple Treeway, have appeared in four games in a row (every game since their debuts) if one counts the two Mario Kart 8 titles as the same game.

Since Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, Coconut Mall's music has appeared in the Mario & Sonic series as a selectable song when participating in events.

Mario Kart Wii[edit]

Course layout[edit]

Toadette racing on Coconut Mall
The mall entrance

The race starts at the entrance of a mall with a beach setting, near the parking lot. There are stairs that lead up to two escalators, which go in opposite directions, and switch directions every 50 seconds. A Pianta stands between the two and points at the one moving upwards, or at both if they are about to change directions. After that, residing in an upper level of the mall, the player has a choice to stay on the upper floor or to descend onto a lower floor via an escalator. If the player chooses to stay on the upper level, they can go either to the left or the right of the escalator leading downstairs with the left side having two dash panels. If the player instead chooses to go downstairs, they will also have the opportunity to hit a dash panel by going to the left of the second escalator which comes down from the upper level. Afterwards, the routes meet up either via a trick from the upper level, going down another escalator that leads to the lower level, or from driving from the lower level. There is a fountain there that the player can perform tricks on. After the fountain, there are two more escalators.

After another turn in a metal passageway, the player reaches an outdoor courtyard called Coconut Garden with more stores. There are palm trees in planters which the player can perform a trick on and another fountain, as well as dash panels on the left and right of the area. Item Boxes are found at the top of the fountain, where the player must be travelling at full speed in order to be able to receive an item. There is also a single Item Box on each of the two dash panels. Tables with umbrellas, palm trees, and the mall's pillars serve as static obstacles.

Following this, there is another metal passageway that leads upward to the left into a smaller room. Here, there is a store that sells Mario items such as a Green Mushroom Burger or Star Juice and is called "Coco Burger". There are two paths the player can then take. One is to the left with a dash panel before it, leading into another metal passageway, going up and to the right into a giant, glass ramp. Two dash panels reside in the giant ramp and the second takes the player out of the mall and into the parking lot, falling from a distance, allowing the player to perform a trick before dropping down. The other passageway leads into a room and also turns to the right. In the room, there is another planter and a palm tree with some item boxes around. There is also a dash panel ramp here which a trick can be performed off.

Both of these ramps lead to the parking lot, where there is a metal ramp for the player to perform a trick and receive items from an Item Box. After a 90° turn right, three cars driven by the player's Miis move back and forth, often blocking three corresponding dash panels. After this, there is a right turn to the finish line.

Coconut Mall has a variety of sponsors. Among the things to buy to eat are Mushrooms (red and green), Fire Flowers, Bananas, and Super Stars. The advertisements are filled with the player's Miis. However, if the player has no Miis, default Miis appear on advertisements. On top of that, most customers in the mall are also the player's Miis. The directory signs say "toilets" and "lift," British-oriented terms for "restrooms" and "elevator." This is present in the American version as well. This is one of the few Mario Kart Wii courses that, in non-English versions of the game, had some of the in-course signs translated in the original. In multiplayer mode, Miis only appear on the advertisements.

For this course in Time Trials, the staff ghost is Daisy. She rides the Sugarscoot for the Normal Staff Ghost, while the Expert one is her in the Wild Wing.

Shortcuts[edit]

The off-road shortcut

There is one notable shortcut which requires a speed item. After going up the first escalator, the player must head to the right, staying near the glass windows with Miis behind them. After a very short distance, players should see an opening into a store. They must boost over the carpet, as it is an off-road surface. They then exit the store after the Mushroom and can perform a trick back onto the main course. However, if the player veers right instead of dropping back onto the main course, there is a longer off-road section that leads the player past the second set of escalators. Doing this, however, requires either three Mushrooms or a different speed item. On a side note, vehicles with very high off-road stats (like the Tiny Titan and Magikruiser) can handle this shortcut and the extension without an item.

This course has a glitch that can by accessed by hitting the intersection point of 2 rails near the first fountain, which can be done multiple ways. Hitting this point knocks the player out of the course's boundaries without Lakitu rescuing them. While the out-of-bounds that can be explored is large, it can be used as a shortcut by driving through the parking lot to the right of the finish line. By hitting an invisible wall when entering the parking lot in a way that knocks them to left and driving through the car at the far end of the parking lot and returning to the finish line, laps will count.

Tournaments[edit]

July 2008's first tournament required players to collect 50 coins scattered throughout part of the mall. Immediately after starting, players are able to hit a lone Item Box which will contain Triple Mushrooms. This tournament was later repeated as the first tournament of July 2010, the second tournament of December 2011, and the first tournament of March 2013.

Mario Kart 7[edit]

Wii Coconut Mall
Wii Coconut Mall in Mario Kart 7

Coconut Mall makes its classic course debut in Mario Kart 7 as the third course of the Banana Cup. The course is considerably shorter in length than that of the original Wii version. There are many changes that have been made to the course, mostly due to technical limitations of the Nintendo 3DS. Because all of the Piantas were removed, colored arrows were added to the escalators, with green arrows on the ones going up, and red arrows on the ones going down. The part under the glass floor is flooded. The first shortcut is no longer an off-road portion, meaning it can be cleared without the use of Mushrooms. The tables on the left side of the courtyard were removed. At the two jumps exiting the mall, the dash panel on the upper section was replaced with a glide ramp. In the parking lot, one of the Mii-driven cars was removed, and the remaining cars drive back and forth the whole width of the track; this is unlike Mario Kart Wii where two of the cars drove half the width. Additionally, there are no longer Miis on the inaccessible platforms, advertisements containing pictures of the player's Miis were removed, and all of the advertisements and signs are in English regardless of the language the game is being played.

This is one of the few retro courses in Mario Kart 7 to display advertisements in the same places as the original course. Other examples include GCN Dino Dino Jungle and N64 Luigi Raceway.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe[edit]

Wii Coconut Mall as it appears in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Wii Coconut Mall in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Coconut Mall reappears in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, as part of the first wave of the Booster Course Pass. It appears as the fourth and last race of the Golden Dash Cup. Coconut Mall is the only Booster Course Pass classic course not originally from Mario Kart Tour to be the final course of a cup without serving as such in a prior game, as DS Waluigi Pinball, Wii Maple Treeway, and 3DS Rainbow Road are the final courses of Mario Kart 7's Banana Cup, Leaf Cup, and Special Cup respectively, while Wii Rainbow Road is the final course of Mario Kart Wii's Special Cup.

This time, the course is completely redesigned, retaining its shortened length from Mario Kart 7. The archway starting line has been stylized to instead resemble two palm trees curving into one another with a pair of shopping bags and some palm tree leaves occupying the space between the top, and now uses the modern Mario Kart logo. Like with Mario Kart 7, there are no longer posters containing Miis, instead, they are replaced with simple adverts. Among advertisements and sponsors in the course, signs that make references to the Vanilla Lake courses from Super Mario Kart and Dino Dino Jungle from Mario Kart: Double Dash!! are present, most notably at the starting line and just before the second U-turn. The escalators have now been replaced with flat conveyor belts, with arrows that are similar to the ones in the Mario Kart 7 version, but much brighter. The floors are now orange instead of white. The top path exiting the mall is a Glide Ramp like in Mario Kart 7, while the bottom path exiting the mall is a boosted ramp similar to Mario Kart Wii. The arches after the ramps and before the parking lot have been removed. Some other changes and additions include MKTV vans parked outside the mall, a cruiser ship and sailboats appearing in the harbor outside of the mall, and the music being remade for the game. The course's music was also used for the reveal trailer of the DLC. This is the only course in the Booster Course Pass to feature Nokis, likely due to the mall being heavily influenced by Super Mario Sunshine in its original appearance; as well as the only course in the game to feature Nokis and Piantas together.

Inside the mall, the first shortcut is once again a shortcut that requires a speed boost to utilize, though its extension is no longer off-road and does not require any further boosts to execute. At the turn after the second pair of conveyor belts, there is a large mural of a landscape resembling an above-ground level from Super Mario Bros., featuring ? Blocks, Brick Blocks, Empty Blocks, and Warp Pipes. The Coco Burger restaurant before the turn into the Glide Ramp now features a sign reading "Food Park" above it. On the glide ramp, the "Have a nice day!" sign has been removed.

The section at the end with the moving cars also has a few changes. Like the Mario Kart 7 version, there are only two cars, but this time they are occupied by two Shy Guys instead of Miis. When the track was initially released, instead of moving around, the cars simply sat in one position while facing diagonally towards the racers, rather than sideways. They also no longer spun out anyone that hit them, instead simply acting as a wall that could be bumped into,[3] unless hit with a Super Horn, Star, or Bullet Bill, in which case the cars would fly into the air. While it is unknown why the cars were changed to behave like this initially, it was changed in the version 2.1.0 update; they are still positioned diagonally, but now move forwards and backwards slightly, in addition to occasionally performing a doughnut maneuver, which will spin out racers who come in contact with them like in Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 7. However, this does not apply to Time Trials, as the cars will remain still in that mode, likely to avoid interfering with staff ghosts and records from before the update.

When the course was revealed, the mall's exterior was a bright, pale peachy color, but in the time between its reveal and release, it was updated to be a more vibrant orange. A video released by Nintendo on the Nintendo Switch's news feed, advertising the pass after the first wave's release, shows footage of the older Coconut Mall, showing that the entire course originally had paler colors.[4] The reflections on the windows had also been changed during this time. The results screen following a Grand Prix or a VS match uses an image of the old design.

As with all other courses from Wave 1, this course's icon and lighting were adjusted slightly in the 2.1.0 update.

Mario Kart Tour[edit]

View of the interior in Wii Coconut Mall
View of the interior of the mall

Coconut Mall returns in Mario Kart Tour starting with the 2022 Doctor Tour. The course has several differences compared to its appearance in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. The side passage following the shortcut has been completely blocked off, with the player only being able to go off a ramp back onto the main route. Additional ramps were also added to the sides of the conveyor belt when entering the space with the first fountain, instead of the drop-off being trickable. The handrails of the conveyor belts can no longer be tricked or driven on and the conveyor belts themselves move much slower. The top route and bottom routes when the player exits the mall have had their ramps flipped compared to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the normal variant of the course - the top route is now a normal ramp instead of a glide ramp, like in the original Mario Kart Wii version, and the bottom route has a glide ramp like in Mario Kart 7. The courtyard has gray stone tiles instead of orange tiles. The ramp on the left side of the road upon exiting the mall has been made much wider. In addition, the cars have returned to their original size and behavior of moving forwards and backwards along the track. They are still occupied by Shy Guys, but can be ran over with the aid of a Mega Mushroom, a Star or a Frenzy. The course uses its original music from Mario Kart Wii. Coconut Mall is the first course in Mario Kart Tour that did not have all of its variants debut together, but had them debut in tours with the same name.

The course also appears as Coconut Mall R (reversed), Coconut Mall T (with ramps), and Coconut Mall R/T (reversed with ramps). The former two debuted alongside the regular version in the 2022 Doctor Tour, while the latter debuted in the 2023 Doctor Tour. In all three variants, some conveyor belts either have their direction changed or are deactivated altogether. In the R variant, the cars retain all the properties seen in the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe version prior to version 2.1.0, including their larger size and stationary behavior. In the T variant, the Glide Ramp and the Dash Panel have their positions switched, and racers briefly drive along the beach. In the R/T variant, the cars are gone and there is instead a dash panel ramp truck. Additionally, there is a water geyser in both fountains.

Profiles[edit]

Mario Kart Wii[edit]

  • Website bios:
    • Flag of the United States of America since July 4, 1960. For North American (and sometimes South American) release dates. Multiple paths, wide-open spaces, and moving escalators. Darting cars in the parking lot and lead to major road rage.
    • Flag of the European Union (previously the European Economic Community). For European release dates. A trip to the shops was never this much fun! Whether you're driving up escalators, taking shortcuts through shops or avoiding Miis in the car park, Coconut Mall has everything under one roof.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe[edit]

  • Nintendo Switch News app (US):
    • This course first appeared in the Mario Kart Wii game.
    • Unsurprisingly, you'll see a lot of mall-related stuff in this course such as escalators. Use the escalators to explore the second floor and experiment with your routes―you'll need to decide which route is best for your current circumstances.
  • Nintendo Switch News app (UK): Introducing Coconut Mall!
    Now, we'd like to present to you a course released as part of the first wave, which is available now: Wii Coconut Mall!
    Ever since its debut in Mario Kart Wii, this course has been dazzling racers with its tropical shopping mall vibes, complete with escalators and other course elements you might expect from a high-end shopping experience. The course includes many forks in the road - it even splits between two different floors - so be sure to take these routes into consideration as you're going for gold!
  • Nintendo Magazine 2022 Summer: "This is a tropical, maze-like shopping mall. Watch out for the direction the escalators at the entrance are going! You can race through the fancy clothing store for a shortcut."[5]

Trivia[edit]

  • In the original Mario Kart Wii version of the course, the Dash Panels are rainbow-colored, similarly to the versions seen in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and Mario Kart DS, whereas every other track in the game uses a pink-yellow-orange coloration. However, in early trailers for the game, it was shown that other courses originally had rainbow Dash Panels.[7]
  • An early development name for the course may have been "Bay Bayside Mall", as indicated by the directory signs in Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 7.[8]
