History
Mario Kart DS
Immediately after the countdown ends and the race begins, the kart drivers are launched into the pinball machine. After that, the racers start a descent down the machine, encountering numerous pinballs on the way. These pinballs may collide with a kart, causing the vehicle to be knocked backwards. Additionally, a racer will lose any items he or she may be carrying. While the racers are in the pinball shooter, they are unaffected by lightning, and some other items. Other obstacles include flippers and bumpers. Waluigi Pinball makes a cameo appearance in the Nintendo Monopoly board game. The music theme from the course is also featured in Super Smash Bros. Brawl on the Mario Circuit stage arranged in a enhanced electronic rock style by Kentaro Ishizaka.
Mario Kart 7
The track returns in Mario Kart 7 as the fourth and final course in the Banana Cup. The launch after the start/finish line now encompasses a gliding pad, although racers cannot move to the left or right while being launched. The jumps after turn 1 and after turn 6 can be used to perform a trick and gain a boost.
