Block Fort is a battle course in Mario Kart 64 that contains four structures in each corner of the level. It was eventually added as a retro battle course in Mario Kart DS.
Mario Kart 64[edit]
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.
Mario Kart DS[edit]
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 a classic course. Both of these also apply to Pipe Plaza.
In Shine Runners, there are thirteen possible spawning locations for the Shine Sprites, the most of every battle course featured in this game. There are four Shine Sprite spawning locations on the four corners of the course, four more on the first level of all structures, and another four on the second level of the same structures. A singular Shine Sprite spawning location is in the center of the course as well.
Missions[edit]
There is one mission that takes place on Block Fort:
- 'Mission 6-4: The player controls Mario, who must hit 10 moving Item Boxes within 120 seconds. Each Item Box contains a Mushroom.
Profiles[edit]
Mario Kart 64[edit]
- Instruction booklet: "The map consists of a series of floors, each three levels high. The four blocks are colored red, yellow, green and blue so you can quickly check your opponents' screens to find their locations."
- 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]
