3DS Music Park
Melody Motorway (known as Music Park in North America) is the third race of the Flower Cup in Mario Kart 7. The course takes place on a winding road containing serveral musical instruments. Xylophones and pianos appear as parts of the road. A tambourine appears, that acts like a Mushroom Trampoline from Mushroom Gorge. All instruments make their very own sounds when driven over or passed by. This track has a strong resemblence to Toadette's Music Room from Mario Party DS. The main feature of the track is a giant piano, the keys of which can be driven over.
Course Layout
The course starts off with a road containing trumpets and a large violin. Following this is a piano turn, with two Super Piranha Plants planted surrounded by circles of light near the end and a small ramp sided with a Music Block. These lights around the Piranha Plants are to be avoided by racers. Otherwise, the plants will bite, causing the victim's kart to tumble end over end. After a xylophone road and glockenspiel road, the tambourine trampoline appears; here, the sides of the track are full of musical sound waves. A split road containing Bouncing Notes jumping side to side leads back to the finish line. Any players that race beneath these notes will be flattened and spun around. However, if players are near one of the notes when it hits the ground, they will be launched into the air and can take advantage of the air time by gaining a short boost.

Trivia
- The banners around the track have the name "Music Park" on them, even in the non-North American versions of the game where the track is known as a different name (i.e. "Melody Motorway" in the U.K. and Australian versions).
- The giant music notes found near the end of the course greatly resemble those found in Wii Music.
