GCN Baby Park



Baby Park is a Mario Kart racecourse that has appeared in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and Mario Kart DS.

Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
Baby Park is the third course in the Mushroom Cup. One half 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. Due to its length, this course has seven laps.

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.

Official Descriptions

 * Official Website: “It may look easy, but Baby park is a 7-lap cage match with 14-monster Power-slides! There are plenty of items to pick up, and the long straightaways make easy targets out of everyone.”
 * Official Australian Website: “It’s Mario Kart: the theme park ride! The track is a simple oval, but the power-ups are plentiful, so you’ll have a battle on your hands to finish in first place”

Mario Kart DS
Baby Park appeared in Mario Kart DS as the Last track in the Banana Cup. This time around, it has 5 laps instead of 3. Missions 2-8 and 3-Boss take place here. It is available on Wi-Fi.

Official Descriptions

 * Official European Website: “It’s the shortest and simplest track of them all, but Baby Park isn’t child’s play. Because of the circuit’s size you’re given five laps instead of the usual three, but make sure you put pedal to metal from the word go, as it’ll be all over in seconds rather than minutes.”
