DS DK Pass

DK Pass is a snowy course in Mario Kart DS that takes the player over a mountain and back down. Numerous snowballs roll around, and crashing into them will result in being thrown backwards and losing whatever item a racer may be carrying. Snowmen also appear all over the course, and are very similar to the snowmen found in Frappe Snowland in Mario Kart 64. Collision with the snowmen has the same effect as collision with the snowballs.

There is an isolated Item Box up on a snowy cliff at the peak of the hill, after the second set of normal item boxes. The player will need a Mushroom or two to get through the snow to the item box, but in it contains one of these items: Star, Red Shell, Mushroom and Triple Mushrooms. Any of them can be received in any position, including in Wi-Fi play.

In Mario Kart 7
This track returns as the second track in the Leaf Cup (noted as DS DK Pass). Some wooden ramps have been placed in the off-road area of this track, allowing players to perform a trick and gain a boost. After turn eleven, the boost pad in the large jump is replaced with a gliding pad, allowing racers to reach some coins. The secret item box on the hill holds a Mushroom, Triple Mushroom and a Star.
