GCN Peach Beach
Peach Beach is a race course in the game Mario Kart: Double Dash!! for the Nintendo GameCube and also reappeared in Mario Kart Wii. The beach is reminiscent of Gelato Beach and other areas from Super Mario Sunshine. According to the game manual, it is Princess Peach's favorite beach resort, and so therefore own by her.
Description
The race course starts out at a cobbled street that looks like Delfino Plaza. Near the starting line there is a bill board with Peach on it. She is holding a parasol and has her hair tied back. There is also a bill board with Toad on it. When entering the beach in a Ricco Harbor-like area, the Daisy Cruiser can be seen in the background. In the harbor, another cruise ship can be seen. In the Wii version, Hammer Bros., Toads, Goombas, and Shy Guys can be seen on the deck cheering. While racing on the beach, Cataquacks (from Super Mario Sunshine) of four different colors will charge at the racer if he or she goes near them. The final stretch takes place on a path similar to those at Bianco Hills. The award ceremony at the end of every cup is taken place here. The stage is in the Mushroom Cup.
A "Peach Beach" logo appears on a bus in Mushroom Bridge, in the same game. This bus may take characters to Peach Beach but it is not confirmed. Also the license plate of this bus is "SUN".
Peach Beach has been seen in Mario Kart Wii along with other former tracks from previous Mario Kart Games. It is updated graphically. There is another large cruise ship near the beach as in Double Dash!! Notice that the pipe with the double items in Mario Kart Double Dash is not there in Mario Kart Wii. There are also pink umbrellas over the spectators. This course is in the Shell Cup.
Mirror Mode
Peach Beach is still filled with Cataquacks, and the tide still laps in and out. The only difference in Mirror Mode is the fact that all left and right turns are flipped.
Trivia
- Cataquacks are able to walk through the water in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, but they get destroyed when they touch it in Super Mario Sunshine.
- The music that plays during races is the same as the music on Daisy Cruiser in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!.

- Guide Bio: " There may not be a hidden green pipe anymore, but this Double Dash track is deceptively simple. After a roar down the cobblestone straight, there's a long curve onto the beach (or a dash panel ramp off a concrete pier), and a choice of paths via an island ramp or a beach where Cataquacks roam. Remember that the tide comes in on the second lap! Once you're through the pink arch, there's a second smaller beach before a final sharp corner, and race to the finish!"
- Web Bio: " You won't have much time to admire the ocean view as you tear across the sand and the cobbled streets of Peach Beach. Oh, and watch out the changing tide!"
