Tart Top

Tart Top is a battle course in Mario Kart DS. It is a large circular field covered by many pastry confections like green and red heart-shaped jellies, cream puffs and berries. The only Item Boxes are located high up in the air, accessible only when racers use the Dash Panel covering completely the cream mountain in the center. Hitting any one of the creme puffs throughout the course may cause icing to splat on the player's screen, much like the Blooper item, though not nearly as much. If a racer hits a strawberry at a certain angle, he or she can lose a balloon.



Glitches

 * If the player drives up the ramp in the center and hops just when the kart touches the edge of the Boost Pad, the player will fly extra high, possibly receiving an Item Box as well. This is somewhat tricky since the sudden boost of speed has to be accounted for.
