Big Blue

Big Blue is the fourth and final course of the Bell Cup included with Animal Crossing x Mario Kart 8 downloadable content in Mario Kart 8. This course is based on the Big Blue course that appears throughout the F-Zero series. As in Mute City, Coins can only be obtained by driving over the recharge pathways, Item Boxes, or picking up the coins dropped by other players. This is the only DLC course in Mario Kart 8 to be divided into three sections, instead of three laps, and the fifth overall in the series.

Shortcuts

 * In the first section, on the corners with moving platforms, mushrooms can be used to cut off the corners.
 * Players can drive off the edge of the track midway on the first waterway on the left, to land on the recharge pathways beyond the rings. (150cc and 200cc only)
 * On the last section of track, mushrooms can be used to cut off the bends in the track just before the finish line.

Trivia

 * Reaching the final section will have an announcer speak, saying "Yeah! The final lap!" using the voice clip from F-Zero X. It is the first course in Mario Kart 8 with this distinction.
 * This is one of two courses in Mario Kart 8 in which a portion of the track activates a voice, the other being Electrodrome.
 * This is one of two courses to have the F-Zero version of the starting line countdown and results theme, the other being Mute City.
 * Just like Maka Wuhu and Mount Wario, the race track's finish point is not located in the same location of the starting point.
 * The music of the track is split in two parts: the first part plays in the first two sections, and the second part plays in the final section. This is the second track after Mount Wario to have separate soundtracks for different laps/sections.
 * In an online match, if the players make it to the finish line and bump into each other, they will not get a spin boost even though they are in anti-gravity.
