GCN Baby Park

Baby Park is a race course that has appeared in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and Mario Kart DS. Being a simple oval loop, it is the shortest course in length known in the series. As the name implies, the course takes place in an amusement park, including various elements from the Yoshi series. The track is a platform hanging from a large support complex, where a roller-coaster runs above and around the course and a pink Yoshi Train runs over the rails. However, the roller-coaster was removed in the DS version.

Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
Baby Park is the third course in the Mushroom Cup. One half of the floor is blue and the other half is pink. It has various pictures of characters from the Yoshi series on it, including Baby Mario and Baby Luigi, of which the stage belongs to them. Due to its length, this course has seven laps instead of the traditional three.

Staff Ghost
The staff ghost of the track uses Baby Mario and Baby Luigi driving the Goo-Goo Buggy. They appear when the player completes all the race in 1:11.000 or less.
