Wii Grumble Volcano: Difference between revisions

'''Grumble Volcano''' is the fourth and last course of the [[Star Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. It takes place in a volcanic area covered with [[lava]]. The course features many jumps and moving platforms, as well as many sharp corners. At certain times, sections of the track will crumble away into the lava, making the road smaller and harder to drive around. The track's theme is very similar to that of [[World 8 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 8]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' It reappears as a retro track in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the third course of the [[Lightning Cup]].

Grumble Volcano returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the third race of the [[Lightning Cup]]. The clouds in the sky appear to be more orange than purple as opposed to in the original version. The volcano that the players drive through as well as the volcanoes in the background now have lava running down them. The course itself maintains its layout from the original, though both the first platform after the cave and the jump from the uphill left path now have [[Glide Ramp]]s. Additionally, near the end of the course, at the right side of the fork, a portion of rock that serves as a trickable ramp has been added, allowing for a shortcut. To accommodate this, an additional segment of the track has been added that meets up with the main route right before the finish line. In laps 1 and 2, there is a rock blocking the shortcut, but at the start of lap 3, it will sink into the lava, letting the player use it on lap 3. [[Volcanic debris]] falls more slowly than in the original course, the crumbling pieces of road crumble and sink much quicker (with an additional sinking piece of land added in the volcanic debris section of the course), and the starting banner has been changed, now resembling a slightly deteriorated structure with torches added and the modern ''Mario Kart'' logo. Similar to {{classic-link|3DS|DK Jungle}}, {{classic-link|3DS|Neo Bowser City}} and {{classic-link|Wii|Mushroom Gorge}}, the music remains unchanged, but it has been given an echo effect.
