Moo Moo Farm (transliterated as Moh Moh Farm on a few occasions[1][2]) is the second race course of the Mushroom Cup in Mario Kart 64. This course takes place in a farmland, with Monty Moles and Moo Moos in it. Just like all Mushroom Cup courses, this course is relatively simple and is the shortest course in the game, measuring at 527 meters. It later reappears as a classic course in Mario Kart DS as the second race of the Shell Cup, and the Mario Kart Wii track Moo Moo Meadows bears a strong resemblance to it. A sign reading "Nintendo Moo Moo Farm" can also be found on Moo Moo Meadows. Moo Moo Farm cargo trucks also appear in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, which reference the name of the course and also feature pictures of the Moo Moos and fences on the sides. This course shares its music with Yoshi Valley.

It is the only course from the Mushroom Cup in Mario Kart 64 that does not reappear as a classic course in Mario Kart 7 or Mario Kart Tour.

Course layout

The course takes place on a farm with Moo Moos visible in the background. It is composed of a wide dirt road that has fences on both sides and makes a single clockwise loop, though there are also some slight left turns and changes in elevation. The track has four sets of Item Boxes, and Chubbies appear as obstacles along the inside of a couple of the turns. There are also two bridges that go over the track; the first can be found about halfway along the track and briefly narrows the track, while the second can be found at the end and is supported by pillars that racers must drive around. The track itself also has a Nintendo logo printed on it, which is visible to the left of the second item set.

The course is the shortest in Mario Kart 64, and it is one of the shortest courses in the whole series.

Mario Kart DS

Moo Moo Farm makes its classic course debut in Mario Kart DS as the second course of the Shell Cup. It has received only improved terrain and graphics, but no game mechanics have been changed. There are also now fewer Monty Moles. Moo Moo Farm was available in Wi-Fi. In addition, this is the only course in the Shell Cup to not be a circuit, as well as not being the introductory track from the original game.

Missions

There are two missions that take place on Moo Moo Farm:

Profiles

Mario Kart 64

  • Instruction booklet description:
    • English:
      A peaceful ranch course with an audience of contented cows. The road surface is a little rough, but not too difficult. Watch out for the mole Chubby who will occasionally pop his head out.[page number needed]
Webpage bios
  • Mushroom Cup section: "Watch out for the moles down on the farm![3]
  • Main page bio: "Moo Moo Farm is essentially a wide, slightly distorted oval. The track's surface, however, is very bumpy in some places, and slopes up on either side. From the Starting Line, the course goes into a dip and then into a gradual right turn. It's after that first turn that you might run into some of the course's many moles. A racer who crashes into a mole will wipe out, just as if he had hit a Fake Item. After the first turn, there is an easy S-curve which then goes into a broad straightaway. The course again turns to the right, and more moles are waiting in this turn. After the turn, the supports of a bridge are a potential hazard if you aren't careful." [4]

Mario Kart DS

  • Website description:
    • English (American):
      Cows graze peacefully on Moo Moo Farm, but the dirt track is infested with Monty Moles! Avoid these pesky pests when they poke out their heads.
    • English (British):
      You’ll have to milk your engine for all it’s worth, down on the farm. Obviously these fields have been left fallow, because there are enough bumps and humps to give a tractor trouble. Watch out for the local mole population, too. Up they pop and then you stop.
