Block Plaza

Block Plaza is a battle course in Mario Kart Wii. This course appears to be based on Block City from Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and Block Fort from Mario Kart 64.

The course feature four character statues on the blocks with Mario on the red block, Luigi on the green block, Princess Peach on the blue block, and Princess Daisy on the yellow block. There is also a large purple block in the middle of the course with a giant cube statue to help drivers get from one block to another. As players race in the course, the statues and the small blocks will sink into the ground, leaving behind bottomless pits. Various sprites from Super Mario Bros. can be seen in the sky. When playing as Mii, the heads of main character's statues are replaced by Mii heads. Daisy and Peach are changed to female Mii heads, while Mario and Luigi are changed to male Miis.

Tournaments
A tournament took place on this battle course. The battle course was adjusted to look like a race track, and players competed in a time trial in an attempt to get the fastest possible time. Obstacles that appeared include barriers, Goombas, pipes, and oil slicks. On the third lap, the non-statue bearing platforms start to fall and disappear.

This was the first tournament for February 2009, and it was repeated as the first tournament for February 2011 and the second tournament of May 2012. When the tournament was first introduced, the information for the second tournament of February 2009 at GBA Bowser Castle 3 was accidentally given.
