GBA Shy Guy Beach

Shy Guy Beach is a race course in the Mario Kart Series. It first appeared in Mario Kart: Super Circuit and reappeared as a retro track in Mario Kart Wii.

Appearance in Mario Kart: Super Circuit
Shy Guy Beach is the second course in the Mushroom Cup in Mario Kart: Super Circuit. While there are no Shy Guys on the beach, there is a Pirate Guy pirate ship that can be seen in the background. Crabs litter the beach, making karts spin out on contact. Shallow water causes racers slow down while deep water completely submerges karts. The course is somewhat based on Shy Guy's Ship from Yoshi's Story because of the card board affect, and Pirate Guys are seen.

Appearance in Mario Kart Wii
Shy Guy Beach returns in Mario Kart Wii. It is the second track in the Banana Cup. It is entirely remade to be 3D instead of 2D.

Official Descriptions

 * Official European Website: “The sunshine and blue ocean might make you feel like you’re on holiday, but there’s no time to relax – that ship on the horizon is about to start firing cannon balls!”
 * Official Website: “Tough off-road drifting, slowing patches of grass and water, and crossing crabs make for a difficult race.”

Mario Kart Wii Easter Egg
When the player come across the closed umbrella near the starting line and ram into it with their vehicle, the umbrella will open.

Shortcut
After the first turn, if the player use a Mushroom over the dark green grass there is a little spot that's light green. It is effective because it leads right to the shallow water where the small island is.
