Sweet Sweet Canyon

Not to be confused with Sweet Sweet Galaxy or Sweet Sweet Kingdom.

Template:Racecourse Sweet Sweet Canyon is the third race course of the Mushroom Cup in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Similar to Cookie Land from Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and Tart Top from Mario Kart DS, this course takes place in the land filled with pastry confections and desserts, such as cakes, cookies, ice creams, candies, donuts, macarons, chocolates and so forth. Gingerbread Toads can be seen cheering at the start/finish line. There are twenty-five Coins located on this track. This course can be seen on some of the posters for Galaxy Air.

Course layout

The course starts out in a place where Gingerbread Cookie characters are watching, while Yoshis are situated on the other side, cheering for racers. The track then enters a cave made out of cookies, followed by a glider cannon that launches the racers onto a cake tower with a soda waterfall. Here, there are traffic cones made out of ice cream cones on a large right turn, and racers then drive inside yellow water made out of soda. As the soda section ends, racers can either choose a blue path or a pink path, both of which are anti-gravity routes that spiral around each other. After the anti-gravity paths meet up again, drivers encounter a number of pink Piranha Plants, hiding inside green Pipes. After a few turns, players hit a drop-off before reaching the start-finish line.

Shortcuts

• On the blue anti-gravity route, players can fall off the track at the chocolate part, and land on the pink anti-gravity route. This shortcut is best performed with a Mushroom.
• Both of the anti-gravity paths feature a small patch of chocolate frosting where players can use a Mushroom to cut a corner.
• If one uses a Mushroom, it is possible to drive through the chocolate donut and cut off the final turn before the start-finish line.

Staff ghost

The staff ghost for this track is Baby Peach on the Teddy Buggy, with a time of 2:12.107. In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe 200cc, the staff ghost is Peach with a time of 1:40.972.

Mario Kart 8 Original Soundtrack liner note

"We wanted a cute and cuddly feel for this candy-filled world, so we wanted to use toy-like sounds along with a light and breezy violin."
