GBA Cheese Land

Cheese Land is the third race course of the Flower Cup in Mario Kart: Super Circuit and the second race course of the Crossing Cup in Mario Kart 8. True to its name, the road is made of yellow cheese and contains twists and turns along with the usual coins and item boxes. Scattered around the course are Little Mousers which make the driver's kart spin out on contact. A large object resembling a planet can be seen on the background of the racing course. It could be a moon, in reference to the classic myth that says the moon is made of cheese. In the track's background, multiple cheese structures appear.

Mario Kart 8
Cheese Land makes a return as a retro course in Mario Kart 8, and like the other retro courses it has been updated since its debut in Mario Kart: Super Circuit. It is part of Animal Crossing × Mario Kart 8 and is the second track of the Crossing Cup. The track now takes place during the day, is more sloped, and is designed as a mountainous canyon in a large desert with small amounts of vegetation, rather than as a space setting as in the original version. Like its original incarnation, cheese structures are found throughout the course, though at one point during the second half of the tracks, several structures with mushroom tents can be seen in the distance of the track, which resemble slices of cheese pizza.

It also now has a new course banner, which appear to be made of large Swiss cheese supported by two giant forks. While the Little Mousers have been removed, several Toads now spectate the course, with some next to a few tents with the top resembling mushrooms. The course also has a decent-sized anti-gravity section in it, about a third of the way into the track, with two Chain Chomps added during this segment. There are now craters that act as trick boosts and a few have items and/or coins in them. The final boost ramp now incorporates a gliding ramp.

Similar to GCN Yoshi Circuit and  GBA Ribbon Road, the starting banner uses the modern Mario Kart logo while the game the course was originally from had the classic logo. Orange Yoshi is the staff ghost for this course, either as a reference to cheese or as a possible throwback to the yellow-orange color of player four's Yoshi in Mario Kart: Super Circuit.

Shortcuts

 * Near the beginning a mushroom or star can be used to cut off a corner by going through a hole in some Swiss cheese.
 * Two gliding sections can be accessed with a mushroom or star near the end of the course.

Trivia

 * Cheese Land is tied with Mount Wario and Rainbow Road for being the course with the most glider pads in Mario Kart 8, with a total of three.
 * Many Mario Kart 8 advertisements found here are for the milk company found near Moo Moo Meadows, referencing cheese and milk both being dairy products.
 * In Mario Kart 8, this course and Big Blue are the only courses that contain gliding segments taking place entirely in anti-gravity.
