Template:Racecourse 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 coins and item boxes. Scattered around the course are Little Mousers 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.
Mario Kart 8
Cheese Land makes a return as a retro course in Mario Kart 8, and like the other retro courses it has been updated since its debut in Mario Kart: Super Circuit. It is part of Animal Crossing × Mario Kart 8 and is the second track of the Crossing Cup. The track now takes place during the day, is more sloped, 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 is the staff ghost for this course, either as a reference to cheese or as a possible throwback to the yellow-orange color of player four's Yoshi in Mario Kart: Super Circuit.
Shortcuts
- Near the beginning a mushroom or star can be used to cut off a corner by going through a hole in some Swiss cheese.

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.
- In Mario Kart 8, this course and Big Blue are the only courses that contain gliding segments taking place entirely in anti-gravity.
