3DS Daisy Hills

Daisy Hills is the second course of the Mushroom Cup in Mario Kart 7. The course's name alludes to Princess Daisy. It is located in a village surrounded by green hills, mountains and fields with flowers, and goats appear as obstacles in some parts of the course. It strongly resembles an landscape. It reappears in Mario Kart Tour starting with the New York Tour.

Course layout
The race starts in the village. There are Miis cheering on the racers and some houses, then there is a turn to the left and the road leaves the village. There is a wooden bridge connected to a small island, then another bridge that rises and goes onto another island. This one has some trick ramps made of trunks, some goats and a trick ramp in the middle of the grass. Then there is another bridge and another turn, which is the tallest part of the track. Then the road continues on a bridge with two Dash Panels and a Glide Ramp. There is a lake with several hot-air balloons over it. When the player lands, there is a small fountain in the middle of the plaza that the character is able to do tricks off it and some stairs, then there is a left turn and after that the player passes through the finish line, and it repeats for two more laps.

Shortcuts

 * On the first turn, the player can use a Mushroom to cut through the grass.
 * After the first two bridges, there is a left turn with a ramp in the grass which the player can use a Mushroom to cross.
 * After the third bridge, there is a big patch of grass to the left which the player can cut across with a Mushroom (though it may take more than one). This leads to a small, narrow, downwards hill which leads to a Glide Ramp. However, this alternate path is generally slower than the normal route.
 * The player can glide in between the windmills and over the grass to the left of the main landing point. This shortcut is useful when combined with taking the hill to the alternate Glide Ramp.
 * By gliding to the right, it is possible to land on the rooftops in the village, on which there are Dash Panels and ramps leading back to the main road. This is generally slower than the normal route, however. It has two boosts then a ramp which the racer can reach optionally. It is also possible to land on the rooftops to the left, but this is difficult to do and unintended and so there are no Dash Panels or ramps.


 * A strange glitch can be performed by swooping down with the Glider, flying back up and hitting the back of a hot air balloon. This will cause the player to be boosted forward for no apparent reason, saving a couple of seconds or so. Therefore, in competitive Time Trials, player’s times are often divided between BB (balloon boost) and nBB times (non-balloon boost).

Mario Kart Tour
Daisy Hills reappears in Mario Kart Tour. A few changes have been made to the course: The roofs of the windmills are less steep, and the flags with Daisy's emblem were redesigned. The Miis near the start were removed and the hot air balloons now have clearer patterns on them. A Glide Ramp is also added in the shortcut between the windmills in the reverse variants, which leads to the secret hill. This course is a favorite of Daisy, Pink Yoshi, Black Yoshi, Dixie Kong, Mario (Musician), Yoshi (Egg Hunt), Toadette (Explorer), Daisy (Yukata), Luigi (Golf), Daisy (Farmer), and the Bronze Mii Racing Suit. It is also a favorite of Baby Rosalina (Detective) and Peach (Wedding) if they reach level 3, and Dr. Peach if she reaches level 6.

Prior to the 2019 Halloween Tour, no glider had Daisy Hills R listed as a favorite course. Instead, its appearance in the New York Tour’s Baby Peach Cup relied on the spotlight bonus to raise the Peach Parasol up one level.
