Wuhu Loop

Wuhu Loop (known as Wuhu Island Loop in Europe and Australia) is the first course of the Flower Cup in Mario Kart 7. This course is based off of Wuhu Island from other Nintendo games such as Wii Sports Resort. The course is one of two to be found on Wuhu Island. Unlike most other courses, this course, along with Maka Wuhu and Rainbow Road, is split into three sections making the racers only having to do one lap instead of the usual three laps. The theme of this course is a remix of the title theme of Wii Sports Resort and it's the same of Maka Wuhu

Course layout
The race starts in Wuhu Town near the fountain with tons of Miis. The track is full of cars. It continues out of the city. Then there's the Red Gate Bridge with a ramp on the middle of it. After it some turns with trick ramps, palm trees, and the hotel can be seen. After them there's a road divider and the first section finishes. The second section starts with a long tunnel with many coins. Then the road continues in the middle of rocks, nearly under the mountain. After two turns, the road divides in two roads: the first, shorter than the second, continues on the normal road with a series of Item Boxes, then racers can choose the asphalt road or the sand road at the foot of the mountain with two trick ramps (shorter); the second road, longer, passes through the temple ruins and ends with two Item Boxes and the glider ramp which port racers on the main road. When passing near the lagoon racers can turn to on the asphalt road or jump on the three columns. With two turns the second section ends. The third section starts with a slight turn to right. The course continues with some ramps (one's precipitous on the sea) and a left turn. At this point the road divides in two roads: the first one is shorter, and continues on the main road with a road divider, some wood boxes and two trick ramps; the second one, which is longer, goes on the right and passes near the Candle Lighthouse with two boosts and the glider ramp, which takes racers back to the normal road. With a left turn racers enter in Wuhu Town, finishing the race.

Shortcuts
It is possible to cut through the large grassy areas at the beginning with Mushrooms. There are also two glitch shortcuts in the track -- the first one is by driving past the tree near the end of the second section and falling into the sea, causing Lakitu to put the player near the ramp in the third section; the second one is performed by driving into the sea after the second boost pad near the lighthouse, causing Lakitu to place the player in front of the finish line. In the Patch version 1.1, these two shortcut exploits that existed on this track were removed.

Trivia

 * At the right of the Candle Lighthouse the detailed map dissolves and disappears.
