Wii Maple Treeway
Maple Treeway is the third race course in the Star Cup in Mario Kart Wii. It takes place place in a large forest during autumn, making it greatly resemble the Gold Leaf Galaxy from Super Mario Galaxy. The track consists of racing on tree branches, on the treetops and even within the tree's themselves. Wigglers make their home on the treetops, and driving in them will hinder any racer. Piles of Leaves flank various parts of the track, and driving through them reveals mushrooms and Bananas, or even rarer, Stars.
Track Layout
The circuit starts off with three swooping turns which lead into a cannon, similar to those seen at DK Mountain and DK Summit. This cannon leads to the branches of a tree. After this section, the driver will be atop the tree, where two Wigglers trot along. Following a series of more twists and turns along branches, and driving across a Boost Pad towards a tight turn is a large net, which allows racers to preform tricks. Racers then drive across a section on tree roots, which you can perform tricks on, and speed past the finish.
Shortcut
In Maple Treeway, there is a shortcut that will both speed you up and get you an Item Box. After speeding off the net described above, swerve to the far right or left of the track. You should see a large ramp carved into the trees on either side; go up this ramp to get an Item Box, and then a Dash Panel.
