Toad's Factory is the fourth and final course of the Mushroom Cup from the latest Mario Kart installment, Mario Kart Wii. The dynamic course is a bit more difficult than other Mushroom Cup previous tracks, because it has some particular features, as conveyor belts over the track, which can change slightly the speed of the karts that pass over them. Some hydraulic machines appear over conveyor belts, whom will crush anything that is under of them. Also, multiple boxes slide along on the treadmills, which can slow karts down if they knock them down and let out a mushroom, a banana, or (rarely) a star when broken. Towards the end of the track, a large pool of mud must be crossed by the players. To get over quickly, dash panels are used. However, bulldozers on either side of the track will alternatly move back and forth, covering up dash panels or revealing new ones. The fifth and final panel is on a ramp.

[edit] Layout
The course begins with a giant picture of Toad overhead. The player proceeds into the factory to see three item blocks on a tight turn. The next room has three conveyor belts, the one in the middle speeds you up (but has giant hydraulic machines that can crush and/or stop you) and the two ones on the side slow you down (but have item boxes). Leaving that place there is a trick jump to a platform being moved by a crane. After the platform, there is a long path with many conveyor belts, the belts carry either regular boxes or item boxes, both of which give items (though regular boxes slow down and have less variate). Passing another crane-suspended platform, there is a very long turn with two conveyor belts going opposite directions. That turn leads immediately into a room full of red smoke blasters. The red smoke can, if hit, slow down the player. There is a trick jump followed by a bunch of bumps that can also be trick-jumped. At the end of the course, there is an area of mud with five boosters (two of which are covered at any given time) to get through it. This leads right back to the start again.
[edit] Shortcuts
There is a shortcut that allows the player to cut the final curve, just after jumping out of the factory, the player must use a Mushroom at the soil ramps and perform a trick so the player can pass over the water hole falling just before the big bulldozers.
[edit] Trivia
- Amongst the many vehicles driving on Moonview Highway is a truck with a mushroom Emblem on it and the word 'Factory' on it. It is likely that these trucks come from, or are going to, Toad's Factory.
- This is the second course that has something to do with mushrooms in the Mushroom Cup (possibly coincidentally as the cup is named the mushroom cup), the other being the Mushroom Gorge.
- For some reason, the music for this course restarts right after the player takes the large jump toward the end of the course.
