Moon Cup: Difference between revisions

The '''Moon Cup''' is a [[cup]] that appears in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]] DLC. It is the second of two cups in the third wave of the DLC, being released alongside the [[Rock Cup]], the sixth cup of the pass overall, and the eighteenth cup of the game overall. Like most cups in the pass, it only features [[classic course]]s. Excluding the Extra Cups in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' and the cups in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', this is the second cup in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'']] series to feature two classic courses from the same game, after the [[Lucky Cat Cup]], as it features two courses from ''Mario Kart Tour'': [[Tour Berlin Byways|Berlin Byways]] and [[Merry Mountain]]. The emblem of the cup is a [[Power Moon]]. The decorations on this cup's [[trophy]] are purple.

*In the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe#Pre-release and unused content|game's data]], the filename for {{classic-link|DS|Peach Gardens}} implies that it was originally set to be the second course of the [[Rock Cup]], and the filename for {{classic-link|GCN|Waluigi Stadium}} (which is the third course of the [[Boomerang Cup]] in the final version) implies that it was originally set for the Moon Cup's second slot instead. A video uploaded by Nintendo of America on YouTube lists {{classic-link|Wii|Maple Treeway}} (which was originally meant to be the second course of the Acorn Cup internally and is the fourth course of the Rock Cup in the final version) as the second course of the cup.<ref>Nintendo (November 22, 2022).

*The Moon Cup is the only cup comprised entirely of classic courses in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' to have all of its starting lines use the same Mario Kart logo (that being the modern one).
