| '''Twilight House''' is a battle course debuting in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' which takes place in and around a house located at the center of a forest during twilight, floating above a dark void. It also made appearances as a retro battle course in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' and in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''.

| Twilight House is a battle course modeled after a 3x3 square grid in layout, featuring eight wide rooms surrounded by a narrow balcony in addition to an inaccessible center. The center, eastern and southeastern rooms make up the actual house, with a connected roof and three [[Item Box]]es inside. A good majority of these rooms are set outdoors, fenced off by brick walls with different openings leading to the balcony or to other rooms. These rooms also contain item boxes with the exception of the northeastern room. Finally, the northwestern room features a spacious, castle-like structure with entrances fitted with traditional portcullises. | | '''Twilight House''' is a battle course in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. The house seems located in the middle of a forest, floating on a dark [[Bottomless Pit|void]] though. The course has eight wide rooms surrounded by a narrow balcony. Players can fall to the void if they run along the balcony, especially on the 90 degrees turns. Some Dark [[Shine Sprite]]s can be seen over the walls of Twilight House. Its name may been inspired by [[Twilight Town]] from ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. |
|
| |
|
| As mentioned before, the entire course is surrounded by a narrow balcony, which has the risk of making players fall into the void should they not be careful. Its four corners feature small square-shaped areas, each of which features an Item Box. Notably, a dark [[Shine Sprite]] motif can be seen throughout this track, both on the archway designs and as emblems decorating some of the track's walls; the latter is much more prominent on the northwestern room which features large, dark Shine Sprite emblems above its entrances.

|
| |
|
| In [[Shine Runners]], there are eight possible spawning locations for the Shine Sprites. Four of these are located in rooms on each corner of the battle course, while four more are located on the center portions of each side of the narrow balcony. | | ==Tournaments== |
| | [[File:TournamentJuly2.png|thumb|200px|left|[[Bowser]] competes in a Twilight House tournament.]] |
| | In ''Mario Kart Wii'', the Twilight House had a [[List of tournaments in Mario Kart Wii|tournament]]. The battle course was changed into a race track, and players competed in a 5-lap grand prix race for the fastest possible time. The tournament was restricted to the Wii Wheel option, and was the [[List of tournaments in Mario Kart Wii#July 2008 Tournament 2|2nd tournament for July 2008]]. It was later repeated as the [[List of tournaments in Mario Kart Wii#July 2010 Tournament 2|2nd tournament for July 2010]], with the exact same restrictions.{{br|left}} |

| |
|
| ===Missions=== | | ==Official descriptions== |
| There is one [[Mario Kart DS#Missions|mission]] that takes place on Twilight House:
| | *'''''Mario Kart Wii'' European website:''' ''"Weave in and out of a spooky house, taking care to stay away from the edge as you battle against the backdrop of a spooky red sky."'' |
| *'''Mission 3-8''': The player controls [[Mario]], who must collect 20 [[coin]]s scattered throughout the course within 65 seconds. During this mission, there are both barriers and [[Banana]]s all over the map. | |
| | |
| ==''Mario Kart Wii''==
| |
| Twilight House returns in ''Mario Kart Wii'' with graphical changes, including ambient lighting, better shading, and remixed music. The biggest change is that a thick forest filled with trees (similar to [[Moonview Highway]]) was added below the course where players can fall into, with tall pillars now holding the entire course up.

| |
| [[List of tournaments in Mario Kart Wii#July 2008 Tournament 2|July 2008's second tournament]] required players to complete a GP race on a version of Twilight House that had been turned into a race track: Players must drive five laps clockwise around the eight rooms, with barriers blocking off the balcony. Controls were restricted to Wii Wheel users only. The tournament was later repeated as the second tournament of July 2010.

| |
| Twilight House reappears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' debuting in the [[Halloween Tour (2022)|2022 Halloween Tour]]. The course has received a notable graphical overhaul - the rooftops are now a shade of maroon, the castle design has been made present throughout most of the track, and the dark Shine Sprite motif has been removed (with a more generic star design on the castle itself). Several of the rooftops have been removed to accommodate the battle mechanic for eliminated players in ''Mario Kart Tour'', allowing them to throw items at the remaining players. A [[Rocky Wrench]] now appears in the course's northern, eastern, southern, and western rooms, replacing the [[Item Box]]es there, while the north-western room has cyan lighting instead of orange like the rest of the rooms. A wall surrounding the entire course has also been added, allowing projectiles to rebound off of the course's boundaries, and the four corner platforms have been removed. Like other battle courses in this game, Twilight House uses {{classic-link|SNES|Battle Course 1}}'s music from ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' instead of its ''Mario Kart Wii'' arrangement. However, its original song is still present in the [[List of Mario Kart Tour pre-release and unused content#Sounds and music|files]] of ''Mario Kart Tour''.

| | |
| Using a [[Super Leaf]], it was possible to fly onto the roof of the house bouncing off of a [[Rocky Wrench]].<ref>Burrato (October 20, 2022).
