Like [[PAC-MAN Stadium]], it is a stadium with a [[Pac-Man]] theme, and features sections based off of classic Namco arcade games. Aside from ''Pac-Man'', it features cameos of characters from ''{{wp|Dig Dug}}'', ''{{wp|The Tower of Druaga}}'', ''{{wp|Galaxian}}'', ''{{wp|Galaga}}'', and ''{{wp|Mappy}}''. It was added as part of the version 1.06 update, released in Japan on April 21, 2016, and internationally on December 17, 2016, and is available on 100cc or higher. | ||
The course features a gimmick new to ''Mario Kart Arcade GP DX'' known as [[Kasoku Area]]s, which are long, [[Dash Panel]]-esque strips that give the player a slight speed boost while driving on it, not unlike the conveyor belt-like strips featured on {{classic-link|3DS|Rainbow Road}}. They are different from regular Dash Panels, as the speed boost is not continued once leaving a Kasoku Area. | |||

The track begins in an area with animated 8-bit Pac-Man murals. Multiples of Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde can be seen cheering the racers. After a 90-degree turn to the right, the racers will move through the first couple of Kasoku Areas, across a group of billboards depicting art and the logos for ''Dig-Dug'', ''Galaxian'', ''New Rally-X'', and ''Mappy''. A slight left follows, entering the track's ''Dig Dug''-themed area (marked by the game's logo), where large, glowing pop-up sprites of {{fandom|namco|Taizo Hori}}, [[Pooka]], and {{fandom|namco|Fygar}} can be seen, along with sprites of said characters moving across the walls on screens. After another slight left turn within the area, the racers encounter a large right U-turn with a long Kasoku Area, leading them into an entrance based off of {{fandom|towerofdruaga|Quox}}'s head, entering an area based off of ''The Tower of Druaga'', featuring various enemies from the game. As the racers make a soft left turn, a {{fandom|towerofdruaga|Ghost}} appears before the player and casts a spell, causing the road to glow in a blue shade, of no consequence to the racers. This is followed by a sharp right leading to some Kasoku Areas that head out of the area and back into the main stadium, where several gigantic ''NAMCO'' arcade cabinets can be seen. After a soft right turn is a Dash Panel and a [[Glide Ramp]], which launches the racers through a portal modeled after a ''Pac-Man'' arcade cabinet into a synthwave-themed area. Sprites from ''Mappy'', ''Galaxian'', and ''Galaga'' can be seen all around. The racers will then make a wide left around a projection of the [[Special Flag]], then through another portal leading back to the main stadium, followed by a sharp right U-turn to the finish line. | |||
