Wii Mushroom Gorge
Mushroom Gorge is the third course of the Mushroom Cup from Mario Kart Wii. The course is located on a mountainous zone with tall mushrooms rising over cloudy abysses, where racers have to use some of them as platforms to pass certain gorges. Characters travel the course mainly on land thoughout the course. However, in the middle of the route, they enter a cave where they find an abyss full of mushroom platforms. Players can drive two different ways over these mushrooms to cross the cave. Red mushrooms will cause drivers to bounce, so players can elaborate a trick while they are in the air to get a small boost of speed later. The green-capped mushrooms, however, do not cause vehicles to bounce. Some Goombas appear serving as obstacles on the track.
Shortcut
In Mushroom Gorge, there is a shortcut that will allow you to speed past the regular curving route and get a boost, although it requires a Mushroom, and is reccomended for Time Trials. After starting the race with a turbo boost, head to the left. After you head to the left, you'll see that there's no fence and that there's a crevice. As soon as you're afew lengths away from the crevice, use a Mushroom to get a boost. You should be flung onto a large Mushroom. Perform a trick, bounce on the other giant Mushroom, perform a trick, and you should land back on the pathway.
