GBA Cheese Land
Cheese Land is the third race course of the Flower Cup in Mario Kart: Super Circuit. It is made of 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 myth that says that the moon is made of cheese. In the track's background, it seems that there are many towers and buildings made of cheese.
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 desert canyon with small amounts of vegetation, rather than as an extraterrestrial setting as in the original version. 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. There are now craters that act as trick boosts and a few have items and/or coins in them. A shortcut has also been added that allows players to glide over the earlier mentioned Chain Chomp.
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.
- Two gliding sections can be accessed with a mushroom near the end of the course.

Trivia
- In the Mario Kart 8 version, there are several structures in the background with mushroom tents that resembles slices of cheese pizza.
- 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.
