Regarding the course's route, the first lap follows the route of Piranha Plant Cove 2. Racers drive past some ruins before leaving the water briefly to drive atop a stone structure. This then takes racers into the water, where they take a right turn before approaching a wooden pier. Driving up the pier lets racers access an island decorated with buildings such as huts and a lighthouse. Racers must avoid Piranha Plants before driving over a glider ramp to return to the water. Two more right turns are taken before racers approach the starting line to begin lap 2. The second lap follows the course's first route, with racers driving straight until they leave the water, before turning left to race along the top of the ruins. Right-angled turns are taken along this path before returning to the water to encounter some Thwomps. After two more turns racers begin the final lap, which follows Piranha Plant Cove 3. Racers drive past shipwrecks and Clampies before driving down a staircase into the underground ruins, avoiding the giant Maw-Ray that lunges at the players. Once leaving the underground ruins, racers take a final right turn to reach the finish line. | Regarding the course's route, the first lap follows the route of Piranha Plant Cove 2.

*'''Nintendo Switch News app (UK): ''A course to sink your teeth into - it's Piranha Plant Cove!'''<br>Today we'd like to present another course released as part of the sixth wave, which is available now: {{color|blue|Piranha Plant Cove}}.<br>This course, first introduced in the smart device game {{color|blue|Mario Kart Tour}}, takes you racing through the moonlit, half-sunken ruins of its eponymous lagoon. Not only does each lap chart different routes through the bay, but there's also plenty of stairways and piles of rubble to practice Jump Boosts on, making for a thrilling, high-speed race above and below the waves! Just don't get nibbled by the Piranha Plants or enormous Maw-Rays, and you'll do great.'' | *'''Nintendo Switch News app (UK): ''A course to sink your teeth into - it's Piranha Plant Cove!'''<br>Today we'd like to present another course released as part of the sixth wave, which is available now: {{color|blue|Piranha Plant Cove}}.<br>This course, first introduced in the smart device game {{color|blue|Mario Kart Tour}}, takes you racing through the moonlit, half-sunken ruins of its eponymous lagoon.

*In Piranha Plant Cove 2, the Clampys can contain [[Item Box]]es, as is the case with [[3DS Cheep Cheep Lagoon]], but in Piranha Plant Cove 3, they exclusively contain [[Coin]]s like in [[GCN Daisy Cruiser]]. | |||
