Thwomp Ruins is the fourth and final race track in the Mushroom Cup of Mario Kart 8. This course takes place in a ruins area with caves and is filled with Thwomps.

Course Layout

The race starts outside, and after a straightaway, turns left twice. Next, there is a right turn that leads into a tunnel. Inside, players can either drive up the wall or stay on the main path which curves right, where giant stone wheels roll out of a raised area. When the player exits the tunnel, they are confronted by many alternate paths. If the player takes a right or left turn, they can either stay on the main path where there is a thwomp, or drive up the wall. If they drive straight, they can either drive in to the water and got to the right or the left, or go drive up a ramp to a gliding section. The gliding section is only accessible when a stone wheel knocks ramp in to place. Once the paths join up, players will enter the mouth of a thwomp, which is also the entrance to another tunnel, and an anti-gravity section begins. There is then a right turn, which leads to the tunnel exit. After this, there are three turns, and two thwomps. Next there is a gliding section and a straightaway toward the finish line.

Shortcuts

  • If one uses a speed boosting item in the grass between two big rocks, one can cut off the first two turns.
  • One can drive onto a wooden board cutting off the turn before the second gliding section.

Trivia

  • In the E3 trailer, the anti gravity section was a normal section and the finish line wasn't present on the path after it.
