Template:Newsubject Template:Racecourse Animal Crossing is the fourth course in the Crossing Cup. The course is included with the Animal Crossing × Mario Kart 8 downloadable content in Mario Kart 8. The course is located in an unnamed town from the Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Similar to how Excitebike Arena changes layout each time it is played, Animal Crossing changes season every time it is played, although this has little effect on the track other than a visual change. The music also changes depending on the season.
Course layout
The course starts out next to the Town Tree, Town Hall and Able Sisters shop before crossing over a bridge and into a forest area with many trees that can be ran into. After this a right turn comes up leading to a glide pad which goes over the small river and into another part of the town with many villager's houses, as well as floating present boxes with Item Boxes attached to them. The track goes straight, until a hill turns left and onto the beach with shells that can be knocked aside. The track then curves left and back up a hill which goes past Nook's Cranny and onto a bridge with a boost section on it which crosses over the hill that was descended earlier. After this section the track curves right, with Mr. Resetti in the middle of it, after this corner the track goes back to the starting line.
Shortcuts
- Just as the beach section starts the player can boost behind a tree and darker sand to cut the corner.
- The final corner can be skipped with a Mushroom.
Animal Crossing references
As this course is based upon the Animal Crossing franchise, it also features various references to those games. They are listed below:
- Coins are replaced by Bells.
- The Start/Finish line has the Animal Crossing logo on it.
- Several villagers and buildings, like the Town Hall or Able Sisters, can be seen around the track.
- A tram can be seen driving near the course.
- Some Item Boxes are suspended from presents, like the ones that float by in the Animal Crossing games.
- Trees may drop apples when driven into or hit with items, which act like Mushrooms, giving the player a speed boost.
- Mr. Resetti appears as a stage hazard.
- Driving into a rock causes a Bell to come out, similar to how a Villager can hit a rock for Bells.
- Shells appear on the beach.
- A lighthouse can be seen from the beach.
- The results music is the theme that plays while you are in The Roost.
