Wario's Gold Mine is a racecourse in Mario Kart Wii. This course features steep declines and sharp turns and lends itself to the frantic, roller coaster game play of Wario Colosseum from Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. Segments of the track lack siding to allow players to unintentionally fall off. Additionally, this course employs Boost Pads. Swoopers may slow down the players if they run into them. During the climactic segments of the race, Minecarts appear with Wario's signature dark purple "W" on them to give the player a few intended obstacles as they reach the finish line.
There are two shortcuts in this course. The first is visible in the pre-course introduction. To use the shortcut, the player must follow the minecarts into a small tunnel with two dash panels. To exit the tunnel, he/she must follow it until the player reaches the exit of the cave, which in turn is the exit of the entire mine. At the exit is a Dash Panel Ramp, which the player can perform a trick on.
The second is much trickier and is rarely used outside of time trials. At the start of the race, the player must immediately turn about a 60-degree angle right to land on the edge of the track, then aim at the pipes below the end of the track with a standstill mini-turbo. If used successfully, the player should bounce off the pipe and back onto the track. They should continue going backwards until they hit the rope between the first two posts going backwards on their left, then turn around, do another standstill mini-turbo, and finish the track the normal way. The world record is 0'35"405 by 4TB*MrBean, a hacker who has been suspected of using speed hacks.
Trivia
- The Minecarts that appear in the course have an appearance similar to those in Donkey Kong 64.
- It is the first Wario course not to be set in a stadium or arena.
- When playing as a Mii, the big sign of Wario's head will be replaced by a random Mii head.
