Piranha Plant Pipeway

Piranha Plant Pipeway (known as Piranha Plant Slide in North America) is the first course of the Star Cup in Mario Kart 7. It is based off of the underground levels of Super Mario Bros. It consists of floating blocks, two blue Goombas, and of course, Piranha Plants. Players have the option to drive on the floating bricks and collect the Coins on them.

Description
The track is mainly underground. It has flowing water that can speed up the player when driven on similar to Koopa Cape of Mario Kart Wii. There is a huge Piranha Plant in the middle of the road which causes the track to split for a bit. After passing the Piranha Plant, two Goombas are encountered. They both are blue similar to the underground ones in Super Mario Bros. A huge jump right after the Goombas causes the player to drive on regular ground. A few pipes provide jumps for the player. Soon, the player must go down a huge pipe into a section that is underwater. Some pipes allow for players to be blasted to higher ledges. Another Piranha Plant blocks the path causing players to have to maneuver around it. Then, players drive up a ramp which takes them above ground to an area which greatly resembles the overworld of Super Mario Bros.
