-==Course layout==
+Koopa Troopa Beach reappears in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as the first course of the [[Banana Cup]], and in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting with the [[New York Tour]].
-The track starts out next to water. After rounding the first corner racers will pass the giant Koopa shaped rock on one side or the other and follow the water around the next turn. After the turn players will come to the first of many ramps.
-After going off the ramp the racers will pass under a rock formation to a group of ramps. On the last ramp a secret cave shortcut exists. Players need to use a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] or [[Hop (move)|hop]] to gain access to the shortcut, however some can manage to pass without a speed boost. The race track also has another minor shortcut. Before the overheard rock formation and the numerous ramps, the player can take a sharp right to find a small pathway partially submerged by water. After another turn racers will come to a big, narrow ramp which can access an [[Item Box]] on top of a large rock. This Item Box also contains only a [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]]. However, racers can also just pass this rock and drive by a waterfall (the exit to the shortcut). In the final stretch, the course is almost completely submerged by water which drivers must go through. Next to the finish line are [[crab]]s who serve as obstacles.

+===Course layout===
+The course takes place along a beach with rocky cliffs to the left of the track and water to the right of it. It begins with a slight right turn and a left turn, where racers encounter the first set of [[Item Box]]es. They then go left or right around a giant Koopa Troopa shaped rock. Once the paths join there is a long gradual left turn followed by a simple ramp and another item set. Racers then pass under a rocky arch and enter a wider area with a right turn; along the turn is three more simple ramps, with an Item Box atop each, but racers can also cut off the turn by driving through some shallow water. Afterwards the track narrows again and there is another gradual left turn, with an item set at the beginning and end of it. In the middle of the turn is a much longer and narrower ramp that allows racers to jump over a large rock and reach a single Item Box; the Item Box always contains a [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]]. Otherwise, racers must go around the rock, and there are palm trees to the left that racers must also avoid. After the gradual left turn, one more right turn brings racers to the finish line. Along this last turn is two more simple ramps, the first of which has three Item Boxes on top. Throughout the course there are also small [[crab]]s as obstacles.
+===Shortcuts===
+A notable shortcut can be found just past the rocky arch. By going off a small ramp along the subsequent right turn and either using a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] or a well-timed hop, the player can enter a narrow cave. Driving straight through this cave will lead the player through a waterfall, and they return to the track just after the large rock, cutting off a turn in the process.

 Koopa Troopa Beach makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as the first race of the [[Banana Cup]], with its title shortened to '''Koopa Beach''' in the American English version. The track has received several major changes. Players can now fully drive [[Underwater driving|underwater]]. The start-finish line has an additional rock cropping. The two shortcuts from the original have been merged into one. The player can access a [[Glide Ramp]] on top of an underwater area which leads to the cave shortcut via a mushroom during high tide, or with a good aerial trick during low tide. Additionally, the shortcut through the rock hill has been shortened. Other changes are that the Spiny Shell item box has now been replaced with a coin, and [[Sidestepper]]s replace all of the crabs. All the ramps now encompass [[Dash Panel]]s, and can be used to perform [[Jump Boost|Trick]]s after jumping off them.

-Koopa Troopa Beach returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', starting with the [[New York Tour]]. It retains its appearance from ''Mario Kart 7'' and using the source quality version of the original N64 music track from that game as well<ref>https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YmgFibm99C2r7q-OzXrufNHQgXQBYli3V0M7APTQ4OQ/edit#heading=h.yx3o1ihvn54t</ref>. The rocks on the track are now a light shade of gray, and the Koopa rock is once again made more realistic. On the trick and reverse/trick variants of the course, a [[Noshi]] is found in the bay. This course is a favorite of [[Koopa Troopa]], [[Mario]], [[Toad (species)|Green Toad (Pit Crew)]], [[Green Shy Guy]], [[Roving Racers|Blue Koopa (Freerunning)]], [[Princess Peach|Peach (Vacation)]], [[Rosalina|Rosalina (Swimwear)]], [[Mario|Mario (Sunshine)]], [[Princess Daisy|Daisy (Swimwear)]], [[Mario|Mario (Golf)]], [[Roving Racers|Gold Koopa (Freerunning)]], and the [[Mii|Peach, Dolphin and Para-Biddybud Mii Racing Suits]]. It is also a favorite of [[Bowser#Dr. Mario World|Dr. Bowser]] if he reaches level 3, and [[Toad]] and [[Hammer Bro]] if they reach level 6.

-As with other courses in the game, Koopa Troopa Beach has a reversed variant, a trick variant, and a reversed/trick variant referred to as '''Koopa Troopa Beach R''', '''Koopa Troopa Beach T''', and '''Koopa Troopa Beach R/T''' respectively, with the latter being added in the [[Vancouver Tour]].
+[[SNES Koopa Troopa Beach 2|SNES Koopa Beach 2]] was also renamed to SNES Koopa Troopa Beach 2 in this game, most likely to be consistent with the name of this track.
-Additionally, [[SNES Koopa Troopa Beach 2|SNES Koopa Beach 2]] was renamed to SNES Koopa Troopa Beach 2 in this game, most likely to be consistent with the name of this track.
+The course also appears as '''Koopa Troopa Beach R''' (reversed), '''Koopa Troopa Beach T''' (with ramps), and '''Koopa Troopa Beach R/T''' (reversed with ramps). The latter wasn't added until the [[Vancouver Tour]]. In the R and R/T variants, all racers can easily enter the cave shortcut. In the T and R/T variants, there is a [[Noshi]] in the bay halfway through the course.
