DS Peach Gardens
Peach Gardens is the second racing course of the Special Cup in Mario Kart DS. The course is located in the backyards' gardens of Princess Peach's Castle. Obstacles in the course include Chain Chomps and Monty Moles, both capable of attacking the player. The course is often blocked by large hedges which cannot be driven through and patches of grass that slow players down. However, a mushroom can be used to get across the grass for a shortcut. Peach Gardens has also reappeared in Mario Kart Wii as the second course in the Lightning Cup. An element added for this version is a ramp found near to the soil path right before the checked line. Also the Chain Chomps have chains and they move more slowly.
The garden of Peach's Castle appears in other games like Super Mario 64, Paper Mario, Mario Kart 64, Mario Party 3, Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, Mario Superstar Baseball, and for a short time in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga.

Trivia
- The Chain Chomp was originally meant to be an item, but it was replaced with the Bullet Bill. The Chain Chomp theme however (which is similar to that of Double Dash's theme, with a changed melody as well as an extended bass line and bridge) appears in Mission Mode level 5-1, where Peach has to race a stray Chain Chomp on this course.
