Rock Rock Mountain (known as Alpine Pass in the British English version) is the fourth and last race course of the Flower Cup in Mario Kart 7. It takes place on a mountain with pipes and a forest. A part of this course's music rearranges the title theme from the NES game Mach Rider, while a rearrangement of the game's main menu theme can be heard right before the song loops.
The first part of the track takes place on a mountainous cliff with steep drops on the left side, and in a cave with Swoops. The second part of the track takes place in a mountainous forest, with huge gliding sections aplenty. The final section of the track takes place on a mountainside with rolling rocks falling down serving as obstacles. There are many Dash Panels in this section that lie in the boulders' path.
Along with Cheep Cheep Lagoon and DK Jungle, this course was playable in demo versions of Mario Kart 7.
Rock Rock Mountain returns in Mario Kart Tour, debuting in the New York Tour.
Mario Kart 7
Course layout
The track starts on a curvy cliff road on the side of a mountain, with a trick ramp nestled along the edge right before the second turn. The road leads to a cave in the mountain with Swoops flying and columns blocking the way. After exiting the cave there is a sharp downhill bridge ending in a Glide Ramp through a valley. Pipes serve as obstacles that must be dodged while gliding down. One of the pipes blows air, starting in the second lap. Racers land in the forest, driving through trees and felled trunks before entering a second, but smaller, gliding section. The road then turns to the right, and into a steep uphill climb up the mountain past rolling rocks and Dash Panels. At the top of the mountain is a glider ramp, leading to the finish line.
When the player crosses the finish line, beginning the next lap, Lakitu is shown on the left side of the player, holding the lap count signs.
If the player goes to the right side of the forest after the second glider section, they will find a tree without leaves, possibly a mistake by the developers. There are a few more trees without leaves to the left at the end of the forest; all but one of the trees are shown with leaves on the map.
When racing online, only one of the pipes blows air on the third lap, and the second coin ring in the air is removed.
Shortcuts
After the second glider it is possible to cut through the grass only with one mushroom, and the first turn is cuttable with the Peach Parasol or the Flower Glider, as they can rise higher in the air. On time trials it is also possible to use a mushroom in the air to skip the windy cliffs at the start.
Mario Kart Tour
Rock Rock Mountain reappears in Mario Kart Tour, starting with the New York Tour, alongside New York Minute, SNES Mario Circuit 1, N64 Koopa Troopa Beach, GBA Bowser's Castle 1, GCN Yoshi Circuit, GCN Dino Dino Jungle, 3DS Toad Circuit, 3DS Daisy Hills, 3DS Cheep Cheep Lagoon, and 3DS Shy Guy Bazaar. Here, the course received some changes. The mountain is now a tan color, instead of a dark gray. The ramp inside the second turn was removed. The glide ramp after the cave now resembles the T variation ramps. This course is a favorite of Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Waluigi, Light-blue Shy Guy, Yoshi (Reindeer), Toadette (Explorer), Mario (Aviator), Wario (Hiker), and Meowser. It is also a favorite of Mario (Happi) if he reaches level 3 and Penguin Luigi if he reaches level 6.
As with each course in the game, Rock Rock Mountain has variants known as Rock Rock Mountain R and Rock Rock Mountain T. The T version of Rock Rock Mountain is one of four courses in Mario Kart Tour that does not start in the same place as the original, the others being 3DS Rainbow Road T and R/T, and Singapore Speedway R/T. In this case, the starting line is now midway through the forest after the first Glide Ramp.
It is the only course among those that have appeared since launch that has yet to receive an R/T variation.
