DK Pass
- This article is about the race course from Mario Kart DS. For its musical theme, see DK Pass (theme).
- Not to be confused with DK Summit.
DK Pass is the first course of the Star Cup in Mario Kart DS. It takes place in a snowy mountain lined with winding roads overlooking a frozen lake. It is one of Donkey Kong's home courses in the Mario Kart series, but the only elements themed after him are the brands, all appearing in the form of trackside banners.
DK Pass reappears in Mario Kart 7 as the second course of the Leaf Cup, in Mario Kart Tour starting with the 2019 Winter Tour and last appearing in the 2023 Sundae Tour. It also reappears in Mario Kart World, where it once again appears as the first course in the Star Cup. Mario Kart World also includes a Battle course named DK Pass, located between its racing counterpart and Starview Peak. DK Pass is one of two courses to later reappear in the same position of the same cup it originally appeared in, returning in Mario Kart World alongside Desert Hills. Coincidentally, both courses originally debuted in Mario Kart DS.
Mario Kart DS[edit]
The stage takes the player over a mountain and back down. Numerous snowballs roll around, and racers lose their item and spin backward if they crash into one. Snowmen also appear in the course, similar to the ones in Frappe Snowland in Mario Kart 64. Collision with them has an identical effect as crashing into a snowball. An isolated Item Box appears up on a snowy cliff at the peak of the hill, after the second set of normal item boxes. The player can avoid slowing down by using a Mushroom to get through the snow to the item box, but in it contains one of these items: Star, Mushroom, Triple Mushrooms, or a Red Shell. Any of them can be received in any position, but it will usually yield Triple Mushrooms or a Star.
It was one of the courses that could be played over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.
Missions[edit]
Two missions take place on DK Pass, both involving driving through the course in reverse.
- Mission 4-1: The player controls Wario, who has to beat Donkey Kong in a single-lap race. There are extra snowmen added around various parts of the course.
- Mission 5-7: The player controls Toad, who had to pass through 8 gates across the snowy section within 45 seconds. There are extra oncoming snowballs rolling down the hill.
Mario Kart 7[edit]
DK Pass makes its classic course debut in Mario Kart 7 as the second course of the Leaf Cup. Trees in the off-road sections were removed, and some wooden ramps have been placed in the off-road area of this track, allowing players to perform a trick and gain a boost. The Dash Panel in the large jump is replaced with a Glide Ramp. Landing outside the barriers will result in an "out-of-bounds". The secret item box on the hill still holds a Mushroom, Triple Mushroom, or a Star, but will more often yield only a Mushroom than before, and no longer yields a Red Shell. Much like DK Summit from Mario Kart Wii, the race starts out foggy in the first two laps, but the fog clears up on the final lap. It is also now snowing throughout the race, which did not happen in the original.
A shortcut can be performed by leaning off the log ramp on the right before the Glide Ramp, using a Mushroom and tricking to gain air time, and bypassing the cliff to the right to land behind the finish line. The player now must simply cross back over the finish line in the right direction to make the lap count.[1]
Mario Kart Tour[edit]
DK Pass returns in Mario Kart Tour, first appearing in the 2019 Winter Tour. The tunnel at the start of the course is redesigned, being of a rounded shape. Near the end of the track, the small village was redesigned and made more visible. Similar to Mario Kart 8, the Mario Kart logo uses a modern design instead of the classic design. Due to Stars not being present and the Triple Mushrooms being a special item, the secret Item Box only gives normal items. From its debut up until part two of the 2019 Holiday Tour, a festive tree is found by the small village.
In Mario Kart Tour, it is the first course to serve as the signature course in two tours (the 2019 Winter Tour and the Jungle Tour). Like with most other courses, the course has variants known as DK Pass R (reversed), DK Pass T (with ramps), and DK Pass R/T (reversed with ramps); the former two debuted alongside the regular variant in the 2019 Winter Tour, while the latter debuted in the Ice Tour.
In the R/T variant, racers drive across a pair of mushroom trampolines.

Mario Kart World[edit]
DK Pass makes its home console debut in Mario Kart World, appearing as the first course of the Star Cup. It is the first returning course in the series' history to be in the Star Cup, along with Sky-High Sundae and Wario Shipyard. The course is also the second checkpoint of the Spiny Rally, the final destination of the Acorn Rally, the first checkpoint of the Drill Rally, and the starting point of the Turnip Rally. Unlike its previous incarnations, DK Pass has a skiing theme, now better resembling DK Summit from Mario Kart Wii, complete with Snowboarding Shy Guys being present, replacing the snowmen that previously occupied the area. The secret Item Box has been removed entirely. The section leading up to the jump has been straightened, as the last left turn has been removed, and the right turn before it is now sharper to accommodate this change. On the downhill portion of the track, snowballs no longer roll alongside racers, though a few still roll in the uphill portion. The Glide Ramp present in Mario Kart 7 and Tour has been replaced with three Dash Panels in a row, and the road after the Dash Panels is now a half-pipe.
Battle[edit]
This course also appears as a stage in Battle mode and uses an arrangement of "Battle Course" from Mario Kart DS as its music. Like Dino Dino Jungle, the battle course is not directly on the racing track, instead being nearby. The Battle course takes place on some ski slopes on the route between the DK Pass racing course and Starview Peak. This battle course is driven through between Wario Shipyard or Cheep Cheep Falls to Starview Peak during either of their VS Race routes, and the VS Race route between Dandelion Depths and Sky-High Sundae; the southeast of it is also in the route from Sky-High Sundae to DK Pass but not in the reverse variant. It is also used in the Ice Rally between Dandelion Depths and Starview Peak, despite DK Pass itself not being a checkpoint in the Ice Rally.
Routes[edit]
Entering DK Pass through a route leading from Wario Shipyard or Salty Salty Speedway will cause the course to be driven backwards. The route from Starview Peak takes racers through DK Pass' Battle variant. The route from Moo Moo Meadows passes through Dandelion Depths at about the halfway point, causing its second half and the Dandelion Depths route to be identical in layout.

- Website description:
- English (United States):
Covered with snow and ice, DK Pass is as dangerous as it gets. Tight turns and runaway snowballs make for nail-biting fun on DK's home turf. - English (United Kingdom):
Brr, it's chilly in them thar hills... Pack your winter woollies through for this sub-zero speed through snow-capped peaks, as you dodge rolling snowballs and negotiate rows of rock-solid snowmen that bring your kart to an abrupt halt. Keep moving or your engine might freeze up...
- English (United States):
Mario Kart Tour[edit]
- Mario Kart Tour Twitter: "As soon as the race begins, the once-peaceful slopes of DK Pass transform into a fighting frenzy for first place! Grab your kart and hit the hill in #MarioKartTour!"[6]
