Coconut Mall is a course in Mario Kart Wii. It is the second course in the Flower Cup. It is set in a shopping center, seemingly located on Isle Delfino, according to the Official Mario Kart Wii Game Guide published by Prima, but clearly next to a beach. Racers start out at the entrance to the mall, and ride escalators to a upper floor. The section of the mall (pictured) features a fountain in the middle that racers can do tricks off of. After taking a stairwell down to another more open area with another fountain, racers then can follow one path that will lead to a giant drop out into a parking lots, or go for the lower exit. Miis and Piantas line the track in the parking lot while other Miis try to back over characters in their cars.

[edit] Shortcut

In Coconut Mall, there is one shortcut, although it is normally recommended for Time Trials, and requires a Mushroom. After getting a Turbo Boost after the race starts, head up the stairs and then over the escalator. Head to the far right, staying near the glass windows with Miis behind them. After a very short distance, you should see an opening in the glass wall. Swerve in there and use a Mushroom to boost over the sticky carpet. Exit the store after the Mushroom and zoom back to the main course.

[edit] Trivia

• In beta versions, it was called Delfino's Mall.
• Among the things to buy to eat are Mushrooms (Red and Green), Fire Flowers, Bananas, and Starmen.
• The Publicity Posters are filled with player's Miis.
• Many of the shops have the phrase "Coco" in their names sush as "Coco Burger" and "Coco Cafe". Coco most likely stands for coconut, hence the name of the track.
