'''Peach Beach''' is [[Princess Peach]]'s personal race course in the game ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] and also in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' for the [[Wii]]. The beach is a reminiscent of [[Gelato Beach]] and other areas from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', and is Peach's favorite beach resort.
'''Peach Beach''' is the second race course of the [[Mushroom Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' and is [[Princess Peach]]'s home track of the game. The beach is reminiscent of [[Gelato Beach]] and other areas from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. It shares its music with [[GCN Daisy Cruiser|Daisy Cruiser]].


==Description==
The race course starts out at a cobbled street that looks like [[Delfino Plaza]] next to the [[Grand Pianta Statue]]. When entering the beach in a [[Ricco Harbor]]-like area, the [[Daisy Cruiser]] can be seen in the background (though the cruise line ship is missing if the game is played via split-screen mode in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''), as well as the [[List of sponsors debuting in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!#Sunshine|''Sunshine'']] docked in the harbor. Also, the Grand Pianta Statue fountain is replaced by a huge [[Power Star]] in Split-screen mode. While racing on the beach, wandering [[Cataquack]]s of four different colors charge at the racer if they go near them. The final stretch takes place on a path similar to those at [[Bianco Hills]], and if the player turns left into the square where the fountain is right before the finish line, they find Item Boxes before a sharp turn back to the course. The Award Ceremony at the end of every cup (including the [[All-Cup Tour]]) in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' is carried out here.

The race course starts out at a cobbled street that looks like [[Delfino Plaza]]. Near the starting line there is a billboard depicting Peach on it. She is holding a parasol and has her hair tied back. There is also a billboard with [[Toad]] on it. When entering the beach in a [[Ricco Harbor]]-like area, the [[Daisy Cruiser]] can be seen in the background. In the harbor, another cruise ship can be seen. It is stated in the official guide for ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', that this cruise ship in the harbor (the ''Sunshine'') belongs to Peach. Also the [[Pianta]] Statue fountain is replaced by a huge [[Power Star]] in Versus mode. While racing on the beach, wandering [[Cataquack]]s of four different colors will charge at the racer if he or she goes near them. The final stretch takes place on a path similar to those at [[Bianco Hills]], and if the player turns left into the square where the fountain is right before the finish line, they will find Item Boxes before a sharp turn back to the course. The award ceremony at the end of every cup in ''Double dash!!'' is carried out here.


It is updated graphically in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. [[Hammer Bros.]], [[Toads]], [[Goombas]], and [[Shy Guys]] can be seen on the deck of ''The Sunshine'' cheering, and there are more umbrellas over the spectators on land. The biggest difference is that the pipe with the double items in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' is not present in ''Mario Kart Wii''. Another difference is the boost ramp and item boxes in the area behind the colored crates at the end of the dock. An extra Cataquack was added to the first tide area, alongside the other three that appeared originally.
Peach Beach reappears as a [[classic course]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' as the first race of the [[Shell Cup]].


==Track Layout==

[[Image:Peach_Beach.PNG|thumb|A bird's-eye view of '''Peach Beach''' in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''.]]
===Course layout===
The racers first begin on the stoned straight road. After turning to the right of the first corner, the player can go to the left to find a ramp with [[Dash Panel]]s and get an item box there. After jumped over the ramp, the racer lands on a small piece of land with a palm tree and grass surrounded by water. If tide is high, the water will greatly slow down the vehicle crossing this zone. Using a [[Mushroom]], for example, is needed. However, if tide is low, the player can travel across without problems.

The racers first begin on the stoned straight road. Two [[Pianta]]s and a [[Noki]] can be seen waving from the sidelines. After turning to the right of the first corner, the player can go to the left to find a ramp with [[Dash Panel]]s and get an [[Item Box]] there.  If the player takes an early left they will be shot out of a pipe and receive a [[Item Box|Double Item Box]]. After jumping over the ramp, the racer lands on a small piece of land with a palm tree and grass surrounded by water. If the tide is high, the water greatly slows down the vehicle crossing this zone. However, if the tide is low, the player can travel across without problems. Computer-controlled players never take this path. The darker patches of water represent deeper areas that act like [[pit]]s.


[[Image:Toad PeachBeach.jpg|thumb|left|The first Cataquack area]]
On the right path, Cataquacks appear roaming in the shore, but only in Grand Prix and VS races. They flip any vehicle in the air by contact and also take away some items on hand. While there is high tide, racers must follow the curved path, but by using a speed power-up, it is possible to take a shortcut over the water. During the low tide, racers can cut the path going straight to the next turn.

Racers then turn to the right below a pink natural arch where a set of item boxes lie in. After the arch, a pair of Cataquacks appear wandering another piece of the shore that leads to the right at the end.

After turning right, the beach ends in the cobbled road that leads straight to the starting line. Just before the line, there are another set of moving item boxes sliding left and right plus an alternate way to the left of the road that surrounds the fountain with a pair of item boxes behind. This way, however, is not a shortcut.

In ''Mario Kart Double Dash!!'' there is a path to the left of the first corner where the player finds the entrance of a huge [[Warp Pipe]]. Coming into it, the player is transported very high over the pipe, where he or she receives an item from a [[Double Item Box]]. This alternate way, not a shortcut either, is not seen in ''Mario Kart Wii''.

Peach Beach makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' as the first course of the [[Shell Cup]], where it has received a few changes. [[Hammer Bro]]s., [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s, [[Goomba]]s, and [[Shy Guy]]s can be seen on the deck of the ''Sunshine'' cheering (only in single player mode), and there are more umbrellas over the spectators on land. The biggest difference is that the pipe with the double items in the original GCN version is no longer present in this version, though the window players were shot out of after the fact remains open. Another difference is the boost ramp and item boxes in the area behind the colored crates at the end of the dock. The Cataquacks still appear, though the blue one wandering around the first tidal area was replaced with another green one. They also appear in Time Trials, though they do not target the player. There are also more Piantas in the audience, and the course's map has been changed to reflect the alternate route. Computer players may also now take the left path of the beach.

In ''Mario Kart Wii'', two different [[List of Mario Kart Wii tournaments|tournament]]s took place on this course.


==Music==
[[List of Mario Kart Wii tournaments#July 2009 Tournament 1|July 2009's first tournament]] required players to collect 70 coins grouped along the beach; the Cataquacks are a persistent threat, but there are Item Boxes which always contain Green Shells to help keep them at bay. This tournament was later repeated as the first tournament of June 2011.
The music played during races is the same as the music on [[Daisy Cruiser]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. The music has a tropical theme.


==Tournaments/Competitions (''Mario Kart Wii'' Only)==
[[List of Mario Kart Wii tournaments#April 2010 Tournament 1|April 2010's first tournament]] required players to complete a Time Trial on a completely different course: Peach Beach is now entirely in the background, and players must navigate a loop entirely composed of [[Mushroom Trampoline|mushroom trampolines]] and [[Mushroom Platform|mushroom platforms]]. Players start the Time Trial with no items and there are no Item Boxes present either. The tournament was later repeated as the second tournament of October 2011, as well as being the first tournament of January 2013 and second tournament of March 2014.
In addition to racing in Mario Kart Wii, there are some tournaments that took place in this course. In the 1st Tournament for April 2010, the racers must use Trampoline Mushrooms to bounce your way back to the finish line 3 times in this Tournament called, "Bouncing Around Peach Beach".

Peach Beach is the second race course of the Mushroom Cup in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and is Princess Peach's home track of the game. The beach is reminiscent of Gelato Beach and other areas from Super Mario Sunshine. It shares its music with Daisy Cruiser.

The race course starts out at a cobbled street that looks like Delfino Plaza next to the Grand Pianta Statue. When entering the beach in a Ricco Harbor-like area, the Daisy Cruiser can be seen in the background (though the cruise line ship is missing if the game is played via split-screen mode in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!), as well as the Sunshine docked in the harbor. Also, the Grand Pianta Statue fountain is replaced by a huge Power Star in Split-screen mode. While racing on the beach, wandering Cataquacks of four different colors charge at the racer if they go near them. The final stretch takes place on a path similar to those at Bianco Hills, and if the player turns left into the square where the fountain is right before the finish line, they find Item Boxes before a sharp turn back to the course. The Award Ceremony at the end of every cup (including the All-Cup Tour) in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! is carried out here.

Peach Beach reappears as a classic course in Mario Kart Wii as the first race of the Shell Cup.

Mario Kart: Double Dash!![edit]

Course layout[edit]

The racers first begin on the stoned straight road. Two Piantas and a Noki can be seen waving from the sidelines. After turning to the right of the first corner, the player can go to the left to find a ramp with Dash Panels and get an Item Box there. If the player takes an early left they will be shot out of a pipe and receive a Double Item Box. After jumping over the ramp, the racer lands on a small piece of land with a palm tree and grass surrounded by water. If the tide is high, the water greatly slows down the vehicle crossing this zone. However, if the tide is low, the player can travel across without problems. Computer-controlled players never take this path. The darker patches of water represent deeper areas that act like pits.

On the right path, Cataquacks appear roaming in the shore, but only in Grand Prix and VS races. They flip any vehicle in the air by contact and also take away some items on hand. While there is high tide, racers must follow the curved path, but by using a speed power-up, it is possible to take a shortcut over the water. During the low tide, racers can cut the path going straight to the next turn.

Racers then turn to the right below a pink natural arch where a set of item boxes lie in. After the arch, a pair of Cataquacks appear wandering another piece of the shore that leads to the right at the end.

After turning right, the beach ends in the cobbled road that leads straight to the finish line. Just before the line, there is another set of moving item boxes sliding left and right plus an alternate way to the left of the road that surrounds the fountain with a pair of Item Boxes behind. This way, however, is not a shortcut.

Mario Kart Wii[edit]

GCN Peach Beach in Mario Kart Wii

Peach Beach makes its classic course debut in Mario Kart Wii as the first course of the Shell Cup, where it has received a few changes. Hammer Bros., Toads, Goombas, and Shy Guys can be seen on the deck of the Sunshine cheering (only in single player mode), and there are more umbrellas over the spectators on land. The biggest difference is that the pipe with the double items in the original GCN version is no longer present in this version, though the window players were shot out of after the fact remains open. Another difference is the boost ramp and item boxes in the area behind the colored crates at the end of the dock. The Cataquacks still appear, though the blue one wandering around the first tidal area was replaced with another green one. They also appear in Time Trials, though they do not target the player. There are also more Piantas in the audience, and the course's map has been changed to reflect the alternate route. Computer players may also now take the left path of the beach.

Shortcuts[edit]

There is a glitch just before the finish line where the player has to use a Mushroom to clip a tree to the right of the track. The player can then land on the beach below and skip lots of the course.

Tournaments[edit]

Images of the two different Peach Beach tournaments

In Mario Kart Wii, two different tournaments took place on this course.

July 2009's first tournament required players to collect 70 coins grouped along the beach; the Cataquacks are a persistent threat, but there are Item Boxes which always contain Green Shells to help keep them at bay. This tournament was later repeated as the first tournament of June 2011.

April 2010's first tournament required players to complete a Time Trial on a completely different course: Peach Beach is now entirely in the background, and players must navigate a loop entirely composed of mushroom trampolines and mushroom platforms. Players start the Time Trial with no items and there are no Item Boxes present either. The tournament was later repeated as the second tournament of October 2011, as well as being the first tournament of January 2013 and second tournament of March 2014.
