N64 Moo Moo Farm

Moo Moo Farm is the second race course of the Mushroom Cup in Mario Kart 64. This course takes place in a farmland, with Monty Moles and Moo Moos in it. Just like all Mushroom Cup courses, this course is relatively simple and is the shortest course in the game, measuring at 527 meters. It later reappears as a retro track of the Shell Cup in Mario Kart DS, and the Mario Kart Wii track Moo Moo Meadows bears a lot of resemblance to it. This course shares its music with Yoshi Valley.

Appearance in Mario Kart 64
In Mario Kart 64, Moo Moo Farm is the second course in the Mushroom Cup. In the course, there are many moles. In the N64 version, the moles are named Chubby. The course doesn't have many obstacles, but it has Moo Moos in the background, and a Nintendo logo printed on it (only in the N64 version). In the N64 version, it is the shortest track in the game. The course shares its music with Yoshi Valley.

Players start out in the middle of the open fields and work their way through turns avoiding the mole holes littered throughout the course. After going under a small bridge the course becomes wider allowing for racers to pass each other. After passing the large section of the track racers will go under another bridge with pillars which are able to block their paths.

 * Official website: "Cows graze peacefully on Moo Moo Farm, but the dirt track is infested with Monty Moles! Avoid these pesky pests when they poke out their heads."
 * Official European website: "You’ll have to milk your engine for all it’s worth, down on the farm. Obviously these fields have been left fallow, because there are enough bumps and humps to give a tractor trouble. Watch out for the local mole population, too. Up they pop and then you stop."
