Piranha Plant Cove is a race course from Mario Kart Tour. It debuts in the 2023 Exploration Tour as its featured course. It is set in an underwater ruin with Maw-Rays that has a Piranha Plant motif, which includes stone Petey Piranha heads near a staircase at the exit of the underwater section. Along the course are various hieroglyphs depicting 8-bit Piranha Plant sprites from Super Mario Bros., and various engravings on pillars are seen glowing bright blue. Pillars are also shown to fall on this course, similar to Dry Dry Desert from Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and Dry Dry Ruins from Mario Kart Wii. Thwomps appear as obstacles as well, while Bulbers appear as background elements.
Piranha Plant Cove is the first course in Mario Kart Tour and the second course in the Mario Kart series overall to start entirely underwater, after Mario Kart 8's Dolphin Shoals. It is also the first non-city new course added to Tour to feature different variants.
The underwater ruins and the architecture of this course bear similarities to the fictional island of Atlantis.
