Crown City is a race course in Mario Kart World. It is both the second course of the Mushroom Cup and the third course of the Shell Cup with different icons,[1] and has an entirely different route in each cup. While multiple routes in the same area has been done before with the Wuhu Island courses in Mario Kart 7 and the city courses in Mario Kart Tour, Crown City differs by having the same name for all variants.
The course takes place in a large city in the grassland region of the game's map that has a giant tire with a crown as a notable landmark and its highest point.
Course layout
Mushroom Cup variant
After a short initial straightaway, the first turn in the course is a U-turn to the left with an upwards slope. At the top is a Dash Panel ramp, which leads to a section where several solar-panel-adorned roofs are crossed using rails and Dash Panels. There is a left turn, then a short drop down to segment with a sharp right turn, which leads into a jump into the hole in the middle of the giant tire.
The racers then fall down from the tire onto a rooftop, and then down onto a steep downward slope. A pair of left turns leads to a Glide Ramp, which the racers can glide from over the final straightaway. This final straightaway is a very wide road, which has median strips with edges that act as rails, and ramps on the sides that can take racers higher. After a gentle slope upward, the finish line is reached.[2]

Shell Cup variant
The second variant of the course starts on a wide road with many cars and trucks as obstacles. The road goes straight briefly before turning left, which leads to a much longer straightaway. Some distance into the long straightaway, there is a gentle slope upward with a rail in the middle of the road. Racers then have to switch lanes to the right, leading to a quarter-pipe that turns 180°. This leads into a narrow alleyway, where racers go down two sets of stairs with a rail in the middle. There is then a slight right turn, a slight left turn, and another left turn, leading into a tunnel. The tunnel does a wide turn to the right, and exit into a straight piece of road leading to a drop down to the beachfront section. Here, there is a turn to right, which goes slightly past 90° before turning back to the left to even it out. There is one last straight section before the finish line.[3]
