GCN DK Mountain



DK Mountain is a racecourse in the Star Cup of Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. The course starts on a hilly slope. When racers reach the top of the hill, they enter a giant Barrel Cannon, which shoots the drivers to the top of an angry volcano. Racers gradually drive down the mountain, swerving around a lot of sharp turns along the way. There is a shortcut while descending down the mountain. While in the curvy area, a jump to the right before the steep hill with the canyon leads to just before the rope bridge, shaving off a few seconds.

The course ends with a rope bridge, hanging high above a canyon, that leads to the starting/finish line. Boulders fall throughout much of the race, knocking karts off the course. DK Mountain and surrounding mountains in the background have faces, a feature also seen at other race tracks in Double Dash!!, such as Luigi Circuit. DK Mountain also appears in Mario Kart Wii, but in this game its bridge is different, there are now ramps, and some of the deep grass is replaced by mud.

Also, the sign pointing to the cannon says "DK Cannon" while in Double Dash it says "Donkey Cannon" Also worthy of note is that DK Summit of Mario Kart Wii is similar to DK Mountain in many ways and it even has a sign saying "DK Mountain". What could be DK Mountain can be seen in the background of Baby Park.
