DS Peach Gardens

Peach Gardens is the second racing course of the Special Cup in Mario Kart DS. The course is located in the backyards' gardens of Princess Peach's Castle. Obstacles in the course include Chain Chomps and Monty Moles, both capable of attacking the player. The course is often blocked by large hedges which cannot be driven through and patches of grass that slow players down. However, a turbo can be used to get across the grass for a shortcut. Peach Gardens has also reappeared in Mario Kart Wii as the second course in the Lightning Cup. An element added for this version is a ramp found near to the soil path right before the checked line.

The garden of Peach's Castle appears in other games like Super Mario 64, Paper Mario, Mario Kart 64, Mario Party 3, Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, Mario Superstar Baseball, and for a short time in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga.
