GCN Peach Beach

Peach Beach is a race course in the game Mario Kart: Double Dash!! for the Nintendo GameCube and also reappeared in Mario Kart Wii. The beach is reminiscent of Gelato Beach and other areas from Super Mario Sunshine. According to the game manual, it is Princess Peach's favorite beach resort, and is therefore owned by her.

Description
The race course starts out at a cobbled street that looks like Delfino Plaza. Near the starting line there is a bill board with Peach on it. She is holding a parasol and has her hair tied back. There is also a bill board with Toad on it. When entering the beach in a Ricco Harbor-like area, the Daisy Cruiser can be seen in the background. In the harbor, another cruise ship can be seen. While racing on the beach, Cataquacks (from Super Mario Sunshine) of four different colors will charge at the racer if he or she goes near them. The final stretch takes place on a path similar to those at Bianco Hills. The award ceremony at the end of every cup is taken place here. Peach Beach is the second course in the Mushroom Cup.

Official Descriptions

 * Guide: " There may not be a hidden green pipe anymore, but this Double Dash track is deceptively simple. After a roar down the cobblestone straight, there's a long curve onto the beach (or a dash panel ramp off a concrete pier), and a choice of paths via an island ramp or a beach where Cataquacks roam. Remember that the tide comes in on the second lap! Once you're through the pink arch, there's a second smaller beach before a final sharp corner, and race to the finish!"


 * Official European Website: " You won't have much time to admire the ocean view as you tear across the sand and the cobbled streets of Peach Beach. Oh, and watch out the changing tide!"


 * Official Website: "No more pipe launch near the start, but a new boost ramp leads into the old shortcut after the first turn."

Changes from the Original

 * The Green pipe left from the start was removed.
 * The deck near Daisy Cruiser has an added ramp.
 * Cataquacks now get exclamation marks above their heads when they spot racers.
 * Hammer Bros., Toads, Goombas, and Shy Guys can be seen on the deck cheering.

Trivia

 * Cataquacks are able to walk through the water in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, but they get destroyed when they touch it in Super Mario Sunshine.
