'''Cheese Land''' is the third race course of the [[Flower Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' and the second race course of the [[Crossing Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''. True to its name, the road is made of yellow [[cheese]] and contains twists and turns along with the usual [[Coin|coins]] and [[Item Box|item boxes]]. Scattered around the course are [[Little Mouser]]s which make the driver's kart spin out on contact. A large object resembling a planet can be seen on the background of the racing course. It could be a moon, in reference to the classic myth that says the moon is made of cheese. In the track's background, multiple cheese structures appear.

The course starts out with U-turn to the left, with [[Little Mouser]]s round the edge of the turn. After the U-turn, there is a wavy road, before the player goes down a short straight with the first set of [[Item Box]]es. Then there is a right turn leading to a straight where the player can see jumps either side of them behind walls. After a 270° turn to the left, the player will encounter the first jump, if the player strays to far to the left or right, they will not hit the [[Boost Pad]]s and will have to redo the  270° turn. When the player lands, there will be a U-turn to the right, this U-turn has Little Mousers round the edge like the previous one. The U-turn is followed by the second jump. If the player strays to far to the left before this jump, they will miss the boost pad, and land on the straight before the 270° turn.

Cheese Land makes a return as a retro course in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' in the second DLC package [[Animal Crossing x Mario Kart 8|''Animal Crossing'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']], where it is the second track of the [[Crossing Cup]]. The track now takes place during the day, is more sloped (like [[Ribbon Road]]), and is designed as a mountainous canyon in a large cheese desert with small amounts of vegetation, rather than as a moon setting as in the original version. Like its original incarnation, giant cheese-made structures are found throughout the course, though at one point during the second half of the tracks, several structures with mushroom tents can be seen in the distance of the track, which resemble slices of cheese pizza. The road appears to be covered in cheese cake, with small craters (similar to holes of a typical Swiss cheese) that can be used to perform [[trick]]s.

Mario Kart: Super Circuit

Princess Peach racing on Cheese Land.

The course starts out with U-turn to the left, with Little Mousers round the edge of the turn. After the U-turn, there is a wavy road, before the player goes down a short straight with the first set of Item Boxes. Then there is a right turn leading to a straight where the player can see jumps either side of them behind walls. After a 270° turn to the left, the player will encounter the first jump, if the player strays to far to the left or right, they will not hit the Boost Pads and will have to redo the 270° turn. When the player lands, there will be a U-turn to the right, this U-turn has Little Mousers round the edge like the previous one. The U-turn is followed by the second jump. If the player strays to far to the left before this jump, they will miss the boost pad, and land on the straight before the 270° turn. If the the player goes to the right before the second jump, there will be two item boxes.

After the second jump, there is a U-turn to the left before the road shifts to the right, down this road is the second set of item boxes, and more Little Mousers then there there is a right turn. After the last U-turn, is a straight with Little Mousers and the end of the lap.

Shortcuts

  • During the second jump, if the player goes to the left, they will hit another jump that will skip the U-turn after the second jump.

Mario Kart 8

Cheese Land makes a return as a retro course in Mario Kart 8 in the second DLC pack Animal Crossing × Mario Kart 8, where it is the second track of the Crossing Cup. The track now takes place during the day, is more sloped (like Ribbon Road), and is designed as a mountainous canyon in a large cheese desert with small amounts of vegetation, rather than as a moon setting as in the original version. Like its original incarnation, giant cheese-made structures are found throughout the course, though at one point during the second half of the tracks, several structures with mushroom tents can be seen in the distance of the track, which resemble slices of cheese pizza. The road appears to be covered in cheese cake, with small craters (similar to holes of a typical Swiss cheese) that can be used to perform tricks.

It also now has a new course banner, which is made of large Swiss cheese attached in two forks on each side. While the Little Mousers have been removed, several Toads now spectate the course, with some next to a few tents with the top resembling mushrooms. The course also has a decent-sized anti-gravity section in it, about a third of the way into the track, with two Chain Chomps added during this segment. The first jump is replaced with an aerial trick ramp, and the second jump is replaced with a glider segment.

Similar to GCN Yoshi Circuit and GBA Ribbon Road, the starting banner uses the modern Mario Kart logo while the game the course was originally from had the classic logo. Orange Yoshi on the Pipe Frame kart with Monster tires and the Paraglider glider, is the staff ghost for this course.

Shortcuts

  • Near the beginning a mushroom or star can be used to cut off a corner by going through a hole in a triangular shaped block of cheese.
  • Two gliding sections can be accessed with a mushroom or star, the first is after the second glider, while the second is before the last turn.

Trivia

  • Cheese Land is tied with Mount Wario and Rainbow Road for being the course with the most glider pads in Mario Kart 8, with a total of three.
  • Many Mario Kart 8 advertisements found here are for the milk company found near Moo Moo Meadows, referencing cheese and milk both being dairy products.
  • This course and Big Blue are the only Mario Kart 8 courses that contain gliding segments taking place entirely in anti-gravity.
