GCN Yoshi Circuit



Yoshi Circuit is a course in the Star Cup of Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and of the Lightning Cup of Mario Kart DS.

The course is unique in that it is shaped like Yoshi himself. Many turns are in the course, including a particularly sharp hairpin turn located at Yoshi's "tail". In the middle of the course is a covered straight area perfect for bananas and other traps.

There are two shortcuts. After the first left turn, if a player gets a Mushroom from an Item Box, he or she can use the Mushroom to jump over the moat, not having to maneuver around Yoshi's hand. It is also possible to do this without a mushroom.

The second comes right after the tunnel, and requires the player to use another Mushroom to propel themselves from the course into a tunnel, which emerges into a straightway. There are also Item Boxes in the tunnel. The second shortcut is removed in the DS version.
