Funky Stadium

Funky Stadium is a battle course that appears in Mario Kart Wii. The course, resembling a skateboarding course, features many slope pads, allowing players to perform tricks and get Item Boxes. The battle course has a Funky Kong theme, hence the name. At the start of the battle, everyone starts in the corners of the map in groups of three, and make an entrance into the stadium from ramps. This map can also be considered the largest battle map in the game.

The stage has an oval shape with three jump ramp areas. The first trick area has a side with three lumps in a row with dash panels on each. The other side of this same trick area is a small incline with a dash panel rim going all the way around. The centered and most prominent trick area is a steep incline on one side and down the other, covered in dash panels. the opposite side is the same way, only this side has a tunnel going through it. The third trick area has a wall with a vertical dash panel on each side. The other part of this trick area has the same square dash panel formation as the first. The whole stadium has vertical dash panels running around the entire rim. There are two ramps on either side of the stadium, allowing the kart drivers access to an area up near the stands.
