The course begins on top of a large square base with a steep incline leading up to a narrower section, which has many Item Boxes on it. Two chimneys (which blow out item boxes) and a bridge are on this section of the battlefield as well. Two small ramps that appear on this incline have Dash Panels on them. There is a small section under the bridge which has one Item Box and three gates (which remain closed until the water level raises). After a small amount of time passes the bell will toll, and the gates open up and the bridge is lowered. Past the gates is a storage room. Another item box appears hovering over a small section of grating, as well as in front of two flights of stars leading up to the top-most section of the arena (the roof of the storage room). The top section has Dash Panels close to the opening of the stairs. Item boxes are, once again, exhaled by another chimney, and found spread all around the roof.

There are also some Goombas as obstacles. Players start the Time Trial with no items, but there are Item Boxes which will either contain a Green Shell or a Mushroom.
