 * Wuhu Island, a place that also appears in Wii Fit, Wii Sports Resort, Wii Fit Plus and Pilotwings Resort. The course even has a remix of Wii Sports Resort's main theme.
 * Unnamed mountainous course with pipes and incoming boulders. It greatly resembles the pipe beta course, dokan_course from Mario Kart DS. There is also a forest in the course.

Trivia

 * At nintendogs+cats, three of the available items are figurines of Mario, Peach and Yoshi on a kart. These might be the models used in the game, though neither Peach or Yoshi are confirmed to be playable characters (although it is likely that they will). The karts also come with music for each character and are playable by using the Circle Pad.
