Block Fort is a battle course in the Mario Kart series. It first appeared in Mario Kart 64 with four structures in each corner of the level. Ramps lead up to the first level, where thin bridges lead to the other forts. Another ramp leads to the top level, with longer bridges to the other forts roofs. Item Boxes are on the ground levels edge-wall, and on both of the forts' levels. Like Double Deck, this course shares its music with Choco Mountain. Block City from Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and Block Plaza from Mario Kart Wii appear to be based on Block Fort.
This battle course reappears in Mario Kart DS. Despite N64 Choco Mountain and Block Fort both returning in this game, the latter uses the same music as every other battle course. In addition, it is not given the "N64" prefix despite also being classic course. Both of these also apply to Pipe Plaza. In mission 6-4, the player must destroy the 10 Item Boxes that move around the stage as Mario.

- Web page: "Block Fort is a multi-level arena with three levels of platforms linked by ramps and elevated roads. The four blocks that make up the arena are color coded so you can tell where your opponents with a glance at their screen."[1]
