N64 Moo Moo Farm

N64 Moo Moo Farm is a course in Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart DS. It is the second course in Mushroom Cup, just after N64 Luigi Raceway and before N64 Koopa Troopa Beach. This course takes place in a farmland, with Monty Moles and Cows in it. Just like all Mushroom Cup courses, this course is relatively simple and is the shortest course in the game, measuring at 527 meters.

Appearance in Mario Kart 64
In Mario Kart 64, N64 Moo Moo Farm is the second course in the Mushroom Cup. In the course, there are many moles. In the N64 version, the moles are named Chubby. The course doesn't have many obstacles, but it has cows in the background, and a Nintendo logo printed on it (only in the N64 version). In the N64 version, it is the shortest track in the game. The course shares its music with Yoshi Valley.

Players start out in the middle of the open fields and work their way through turns avoiding the mole holes littered throughout the course. After going under a small bridge the course becomes wider allowing for racers to pass each other. After passing the large section of the track racers will go under another bridge with pillars which are able to block their paths.

Instruction manual description
''A peaceful ranch course with an audience of contented cows. The road surface is a little rough, but not too difficult. Watch out for the mole Chubby who will occasionally pop his head out.''

Appearance in Mario Kart DS
In Mario Kart DS, N64 Moo Moo Farm is the second course in the Shell Cup. The moles are now called Monty Moles in Mario Kart DS. Missions 1-7 (Collect all 20 coins) and 3-6 (Hit Monty Moles with shells five times) take place on this course. It has received only improved terrain and graphics, but no game mechanics has been changed.

Official descriptions

 * Official website: "Cows graze peacefully on Moo Moo Farm, but the dirt track is infested with Monty Moles! Avoid these pesky pests when they poke out their heads."
 * Official European website: "You’ll have to milk your engine for all it’s worth, down on the farm. Obviously these fields have been left fallow, because there are enough bumps and humps to give a tractor trouble. Watch out for the local mole population, too. Up they pop and then you stop."

Appearances in other games

 * Trucks that presumably ship to or from it also appear in Mushroom Bridge of Mario Kart: Double Dash!!.
 * A course very similar to this one appears in Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 8, but it is instead called Moo Moo Meadows.
 * Moo Moo Farm is also the name of a Pokémon location in Johto.

Trivia

 * Moo Moo Farm is the only course from the Mushroom Cup in Mario Kart 64 that does not appear in Mario Kart 7. This is due to the fact that it reappears in Mario Kart DS.
 * Moo Moo Farm is the only course in the Shell Cup in Mario Kart DS that is not a circuit track or the first track of it's original game.
