Block City is a battle course in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. It is rather simplistic, simply being a huge square with four block pillars (one of which includes a narrow shortcut with a double item box) and some edges; it is seemingly based on and named after Block Fort of Mario Kart 64. In each of this stage's corners, there is a whole slew of Item Boxes.
